BioShock Infinite, after the storm..

Definitely....played the game back to back in one sitting ....so worth it

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"]

You know I am right....lets see an angry black woman revolutionary and a cruel industrialist who murders and abuses his workers. Nevermind Fink's personality and views are basically the same as Reaver's. Not only are Daisy and Fink lackluster characters, they are Fable III ripoffs.Sagem28

The American version of The Office, really?

No I am not....and you have proven to be an idiot time and time again. Poor Bioshock Infinite fans can't take criticism.texasgoldrush

Newsflash numbskull

Belgian version is  better, I agree.

Doesn't live up to the hype. Level design, enemy design, and gunplay are not up to par with previous entries.

Actually when the "shock" wears off, the story turns out to be a complete and utter mess.

Instead of writing a coherent story with deep characters, Levine tried to get as twisty as he can and loses the story and its themes.

An the ending makes the entire plot pointless and basically themeless.

Couldn't finish it :(

Yes, totally worth it.

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"]

[QUOTE="MoneySha"] "Meh"! That's all I could say... Don't get me wrong, I really do like the Bioshock games and thought the story in Infinite was awesome (not shocking, but, awesome). The problem with Irrational Games is that now, they're caught between, "Do I make a good game, or, Do I make a game that will shock people???" And all of that is fine, but, once the novelty of "shock" wears off and goes away, what you're left with is an OK game... I mean, you play Bioshock for the story obviously!Vaasman

The opinion depends on the person. Most of this forum consists of console users who only started after the xbox. So from that point of view, the opinions are mostly invalid,

great world , story and characters

 

mediocre gameplay with some really annoying fights

 

i'd get Bioshock 1 or even 2 first if you didn't play them 

TheGrudge13

Except this is how I felt about Bioshock 1 back in 2007.

I was flustered with the combat halfway in bioshock 1 and it only got worse and worse to the point where I forced myself to finish because I just hated the combat and how firing a full 30 rounds of gatling gun ammo take only half the life bar of an average enemy.

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"][QUOTE="Vaasman"]Here we go with the themes again. You know you have nothing when you're already falling back on that vapid shit.

Vaasman

But theme isn't the only thing Infinite does poorly, it was also its plot and characters.

Bioshock Infinite is a great game, there's no doubt about that. But it's not the best to offer in terms of story/gameplay, which drags it down in quality alot.

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"]

[QUOTE="Vaasman"]You know what is actually essential to storytelling? Storytelling. And unlike your pathetic verbal diarrhea about themes, the strengths and weaknesses of which, by the way, are purely subjective, you can't talk about the actual story structure for two posts without revealing that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, to a degree that is frustrating, absurd, and laughable all at the same time. But of course, we've been down that road all to many a time by now. I think that much is clear to any regular poster. How you even have the gall to talk about it anymore is beyond me.

Still my favorite game of 2013 and the best FPS I've played in maybe half a decade.  If we count third person shooters that timeframe drops significantly though.  Lot of cool stuff happening in the TPS space with Vanquish, Binary Domain and Spec Ops.
