BioShock Infinite, after the storm..

One of the best FPS games this gen. I'd pick it up if I were you.

To those that played it, worth the hype?

edit: the game is 50% off that's why I'm asking

TommyBarban

its linear but fun.

Because even if you were right (and I'm sure there are plenty of people who actually do agree with you), you come across as a whiny little bitch who can't accept the fact that people have differing opinions, and you're still whining about people liking a game you don't like, months later. Get over it, loser.

The storyline was great, as expected from Irrational

But the gameplay really drags the game down.  It's basically corridor of recycled enemies, rinse repeat.  And that final mission was frustrating and a painful way to go out. Say what you want about Bioshock 2, but the gameplay was amazing; even better than the first imo.  

Anyway, the boring gameplay destroyed any chance of playing through the game once more.  I wanted to so I could beat it on 1999 model; however, there was no way I was going to put up with that bland gameplay a second time.  The story honestly was the only thing that carried me to the end.  Which is surprising since if the gameplay is lackluster I'll easily ignore a quality story.  I put gameplay way above anything.

It was an ok game, the combat wasn't as good as bioshock1/2. The original games I think had better variety with the powers, for some reason the ones that were tossed into infinite felt all to similar, they were mostly right click to stun, charge to trap stun. It was ok, a few plot wholes but if you ignore them and pay attention to the great presentation its still a great game.

Like the game, fine, but in no way is this GOTY material as many games this year are far more deserving. And its definitely not a generation defining game at all.

I guess you will like the story  if yoiu think that quantum physics/multiverse is a good idea in a plot.

I find the theory itself fascinating but in the context of the plot of BI I find it it to be a totall bullshit plot device and a copout that lets the writers to do whatever cazy thing they want for no real reason.

People will try really hard to explain a lot of the things but is pointless.Anything  goes  with the multiverse.Thats the fundamental problems with this plot.Anything F***ING goes.Its basically the essence of multiverse and there is no way around it. I just hate the idea of it even if nothing super crazy and idiotic happned in the game itself .

In all honesty it kinda ruined the Bioshock universe for me.

While the story might be subjective I dont think anyone with a brain would argue that the gameplay was anything more then the definition  of "meh". Its as avrage as it gets.

Overall for me its an ok game but a colossal disappointment overall.

[QUOTE="NeonNinja"]

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"] Maybe because games like this, when overhyped and overrated, are bad for the series, or the game industry.....games like Final Fantasy VII, Resident Evil 4 for example. I wonder how those series are doing right now....lol. They take their flaws of those "classics" and run with it, making worse and worse games. And when the Bioshock series becomes a bunch of idiot convoluted nonsenical plots, the praise of this game helped make it happen.

Sorry, but it does...RE5 and RE6 follow RE4's formula. Sure it had great influence for other games, however, for its own series, it was a deal with the devil. RE4 took the horror out of a survival horror series, and the series paid for it in the long run. It basically nearly killed the survivor horror genre.

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"][QUOTE="texasgoldrush"] Gamespot itself had a feature listing those games as having awful legacies. Can't agree more.texasgoldrush

Sorry, but your opinion is not fact. Even if a bunch of "gaming journalists" ( :lol: ) agree with you.

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"][QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] Resident Evil 4's legacy is hardly awful. Making over the shoulder a standard, expert pacing, great game design top to bottom, and one of the few games that uses quick time events in an effective manner. The franchise going to shit, and other horror games trying to hard to emulate that game is by no means a blemish on Resident Evil 4's legacy. Because as it stands that's still a fantastic action game. the_bi99man

Yet RE4 was a good game. RE5 and 6 not living up to it does nothing to make RE4 any worse.

Also, the story of Mass Effect is convoluted, self-contradictory, inane and poorly written. Trite, really. Same with Dragon Age. Bioware should try to steal some decent writers from Irrational Games.

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"] No, all the decent writers have LEFT Irrational Games....Jordan Thomas is gone, the Minerva's Den writers are gone, and ended up making the great Gone Home. In fact, Ken Levine didn't use those people for their writing talent in Infinite, and it shows. Tell me, with all the writing talent they had, why do the supporting characters outside Liz completely suck? The talent was wasted. And no, Irrational needs someone like Patrick Weekes from Bioware, someone who knows how to write characters, because all of Irrationals good character writers are gone. And Mass Effect convoluted and contradictory, wow, you are dense.texasgoldrush

The original British version was so good that they made an American version, that says more about the British version wouldn't you say? I know taste differs, some people prefer a watered down version from an original version. People are condemned to live out the consequences of their taste. You can see why I like the Original version, it is not the douched out version to use your word.

Bioshock Infinite is my favorite game this generation, if not the best game.  While the gun mechanics are subpar the rest of the game is brilliant.

I guess you will like the story  if yoiu think that quantum physics/multiverse is a good idea in a plot.

 

I find the theory itself fascinating but in the context of the plot of BI I find it it to be a totall bullshit plot device and a copout that lets the writers to do whatever cazy thing they want for no real reason.

 

People will try really hard to explain a lot of the things but is pointless.Anything  goes  with the multiverse.Thats the fundamental problems with this plot.Anything F***ING goes.Its basically the essence of multiverse and there is no way around it. I just hate the idea of it even if nothing super crazy and idiotic happned in the game itself .

 

In all honesty it kinda ruined the Bioshock universe for me.

 

While the story might be subjective I dont think anyone with a brain would argue that the gameplay was anything more then the definition  of "meh". Its as avrage as it gets.

 

Overall for me its an ok game but a colossal disappointment overall.

[QUOTE="Vaasman"]

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"] Here is the main root of Bioshock Infinite's logic. How can there be "constants and variables" (or constants at all) in a universe of infinite possibilities? It makes absolutely no sense at all, and this is why Bioshock Infinite has to resort to hand waving. It is so logically flimsy that you can't bring depth to it, because the more you do, the more stupid it gets. So they basically hand wave the entire damn game. So they set up these contrived rules or the story doesn't work. Nevermind they also hand wave character backstories like Comstock, Nevermind the attempt to dodge a deus ex machina at the end with an utterly ridiculous hand wave. And really, its still pretty much a deus ex machina, and really Liz is a walking deus ex machina anyway. Nevermind the connection to Rapture is absolutely laughable as is "always a man, always a city" notion, which is horrible contrived. Constants and variables? LOL This article does a fantastic job at highlighting Bioshock Infinites poor writing problems. http://inanage.com/2013/04/04/my-issues-with-the-bioshock-infinite-plot/ And lets not get started on its weak character cast, especially compared to Bioshock 2.texasgoldrush

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"] awww...did I speak the truth? Struck a nerve?texasgoldrush

You're obviously way too slow to get quantum theory so let me break down the analogy. The game never says there are infinite possibilities, it says there are infinite universes. Every change made at the quantum level at any point in our history will lead to it's own variation of the timeline, and those will branch off infinitely with any number of changes, minor or major. That doesn't mean that there's a universe where one day gravity stopped working, or that there's a universe where 2+2= potato. The idea that there are constants and infinite universes are not mutually exclusive. Schrodinger's cat may be alive and dead, but in both cases, the cat was still placed in the box, and left to fate's devices.

You are a brain-damaged chimpanzee masquerading as a human.
