December 1st, "BioShock" was also officially unlocked.
Just like "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" back then, this time "BioShock" only unlocked one part, called 'Infinite'.
As for the other part, with the subtitle 'Columbia', it's tentatively scheduled to go online on the 15th.
As soon as this news came out, it also attracted countless players' complaints.
Why?
Because it's obvious that Nebula Games is going to be a cliffhanger again!
Inside Nebula World, Zack waited for the game to unlock while chatting with Ben.
"Speaking of which, I wonder what the story of 'BioShock: Infinite' is? I have a bad feeling." Ben said on the other end.
After all, Boss Lucas' biggest trait is stabbing people in the back.
And it's not the same as stabbing ordinary people in the back. Boss Lucas hides the knife in a box. Sometimes the box contains chocolate, and sometimes it contains a knife.
"Didn't some experts on the internet already analyze it? This game is likely to be like 'The Last of Us'." Zack said.
"Why? It looks like a father-daughter role? Then why can't it be like Ethan Winters in 'Resident Evil: Village'?" Ben retorted.
"You don't understand this. Boss Lucas has a pattern for stabbing people in the back. After 'Resident Evil: Village' stabbed us, he made 'The Last of Us' with that ending, which you have to admit was good, right? And then he made 'World of Warcraft' with that general, Tirion Fordring, and a bunch of abusive side quests, plus those raid dungeons that made people suffer. This new game definitely needs to give us some sweets, right?" Zack said confidently.
"Even though what you said makes a lot of sense, I still feel like you're talking nonsense." Ben said with doubt in the voice chat.
"Alright, alright, it's unlocked. I won't chat with you anymore. Let's use facts to prove everything, okay?" Zack snorted.
Seeing that the time had arrived, and "BioShock: Infinite" had lit up in his Nebula Games library, Zack decisively hung up the phone with Ben.
Located inside Nebula World, the entrance to "BioShock: Infinite", like other games, is a portal to that starry universe.
Stepping into it, Zack heard the sound of wind and waves. Then he slowly opened his eyes. Just like the previous promotional trailer, Zack was sitting on a small wooden boat at this moment.
"Couldn't you give me a more luxurious cruise ship?" Zack couldn't help but complain. From the promotional trailer, the background of "BioShock: Infinite" can be said to be standard steampunk.
There are huge airships and all kinds of surreal technology, so what's with this handmade wooden boat?
As the boat sailed on the sea, dark clouds quickly filled the sky, and raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky.
Rain blurred his vision, and a line of subtitles appeared in front of Zack.
'The mind of the subject will desperately struggle to create memories where there are none... Barriers between worlds—R, Lutece, 1889'.
This simple sentence gave Zack a strange feeling.
In Zack's experience, these opening subtitles are always meaningful.
For example, "Uncharted"'s "I must seek my fortune" and "Red Dead Redemption"'s "The end of the outlaw era" both have a kind of hidden meaning.
But what does this sentence in "BioShock: Infinite" mean?
Zack racked his brains to think, and ran through all the knowledge he had gained in high school and college. Ten seconds later, Zack opened his eyes. He said he would give up thinking for now.
As this thought appeared, Zack heard the sound of wind, waves, and thunder again.
Along with these sounds, the game screen slowly appeared in front of him.
It was still sailing on the sea.
But the sky had turned to night.
It was raining heavily, and the lighthouse in the distance was very eye-catching.
He was sitting in a small boat with an oil lamp, slowly sailing towards the lighthouse in the distance.
And at the bow of the boat, there was also a woman and a man rowing the boat, bickering with each other.
'Are you just going to sit there?'
'Compared to what? Standing?'
'Not persistence, arguing.'
'Arguing? I wasn't planning on arguing with you.'
'So you want me to do more things?'
'No, but I do think you're enough to row.'
The two people in front were talking. Then the woman turned her head and handed over a box.
Raindrops the size of beans fell on his face. It's still a non-controllable cutscene.
Including the game's camera, there's no way to control it yet.
But what surprised Zack was that although it was a cartoon-style art style.
The game's visuals are still very detailed, especially the depiction of this rainy scene.
Compared to that sea escape in "Uncharted" back then, it's not as amazing.
But the cartoon style has a texture that the realistic style doesn't have.
Looking down, Zack looked at the box he had received from the woman earlier. It had some information written on it - 'Property of Booker DeWitt, 7th Cavalry Regiment: Wounded Knee'.
Looking at the information on the box, Zack immediately knew that the protagonist in the game should be someone named Booker DeWitt.
As for Wounded Knee.
When playing "Red Dead Redemption" back then, Zack learned about this part of history.
It marked the end of the Native American armed revolt against immigrants, and also a massacre of the Sioux.
So does that mean the protagonist Booker DeWitt in the game was a soldier who participated in the Wounded Knee Massacre?
Zack was guessing in his heart.
And at this time, the man and woman in front started talking to themselves again.
Booker in the game asked them questions, but only received vague answers.
At this time, Zack also realized that he could control the game.
Looking at the box placed on his lap, Ben tried to open it.
Inside the box was a cipher symbol, in addition to a handgun and a photo of Zack.
It was a photo of a girl, with the girl's name 'Elizabeth' written on the front, and a sentence on the back of the photo - Bring her back unharmed.
As the boat arrived at its destination, the lighthouse, a note was posted on the wooden door at the lighthouse entrance.
It read: Booker DeWitt, bring us the girl and your debts will be wiped clean. This is your last chance.
The note was also stained with some blood.
"This atmosphere, I feel like something's not right!"
Looking around, Zack swallowed.
