This was one of my most-anticipated games of this season and I was waiting diligently. I wanted it on the PC because that's what I prefer to play on for a slew of reasons. However, I will no longer be buying it. I will still play it sometime, but I will not be buying it. Enjoy your lost sale UbiSoft, you've earned it.
Haha, they have a PC for playing DOS games at 1:25. I actually have that exact same machine that I, too, use to play DOS games. It makes me feel extra-special inside.
Rapture's high water mark can be traced to nearly an exact moment, New Year's Eve, 1958. In a televised broadcast that night, Ryan acknowledged "trials" in the previous year but offered a toast to the city that 1959 may be Rapture's finest year. Alas, it was not to be. Just moments after his broadcast, the citizens of Rapture were alerted to an "incident in the Kashmir Restaurant." This incident marked what most Rapture historians believe to be the official start of the civil war. On this night, a masquerade ball was organized for Rapture's elite. During the festivities, a group of Atlas revolutionaries launched an attack on the restaurant. One of the victims was Ryan's own mistress, Diane McClintock, who was injured in the attack.
The masquerade ball proved to be an opportune moment for Atlas and his supporters to launch a surprise attack. Atlas correctly assumed that most of the people here would be part of the upper-class and most likely loyalists to Ryan. As the attack began, an explosion rocked the building and party-goers heard splicers storming in, yelling "Long live Atlas! Death to Ryan!"
Nice way to get the feeling of how it may have been for those who were just trapped in the middle of all of this in Rapture... no idea how long it would keep going, when the static would stop... I'm IN the "safety" of my home, dangit!
Man, I had forgotten about that commercial, but remember it very well now. I remember hating on my GameBoy-owning friends because of this and other hater commercials. Good times.
