But is it fun? I haven't played it and probably won't (don't own a 360 at the moment), but in my opinion, none of those things matter if it isn't entertaining.
It's also not out yet, and I doubt any serious gamer would draw too many conclusions from its (admittedly stunning) demo.
I went and read a couple other blogs on the subject, and obviously my "is it fun?" comment was out of line, haha. And the general consensus is?! FUN!
"a once truly utopian society"
Amethystine, I think the point is that it was never a true utopia, otherwise it would have succeeded. It was a refuge from politics and religion built by an egomaniac and a madman.

I disagree. It's difficult not to draw conclusions from the demo -- namely those which concern its art direction, its presentation, the sound and graphics, the combat. Sure, it's just one big sample. But should the title in full remain as consistently brilliant as this 25 minute demo was -- which, beyond any doubt, I hail as some of the finest 25 minutes I've ever spent with a game -- what Levine's team has created might end up being just short of perfection.
It's that fucking good.
It's that fucking good.
Am I the only one who thinks this blog is pointless?
No offense but who ever said negative things about this game?

I'll actually defend this blog.
I thought the demo was good but there were some frustrating things about the gameplay. I could see people finishing the demo and going..."That was supposed to change my life and rearrange my face? Meh." But to those people I would say the same thing - it's about the story.

Maybe those people are the same people who are like "ZOMG HALO iz revolutionary even though it is just another overrated generic shooter."

I take it you never had to read Atlas Shrugged in high school, then? I think the game's most interesting aspect is that is actually was a utopia that somehow succumbed to the weakness of its inhabitants, and finding out what that weakness was probably encompasses a great deal of the game.
Since when does wanting freedom make you a madman?

Hmm, this is now my most popular blog post, comments wise. I wasn't trolling for controversy, though.
Anyway, I just got the vibe that a fair amount of people had been dissing the demo and BioShock in it's entirety by extension. Not the majority, but enough for me to want to say something. If this responce was unwarranted, just take it as me trying to say why BioShock is so cool, without it being a responce to anything.
Oh, and thanks Linde!
