I keep hearing terms like this thrown around when referring to the first one... Is it just BS to hype ZC2? Because from my understanding, ZC was considered to be incredibly mediocre from everyone I've ever heard talk about it. Yet, right before ZC2 released, I kept seeing gaming websites talk about how 'groundbreaking' and 'incredible' the first one was.

It's been a while since I've checked, but months ago the game only had incredibly high ranks camping with sniper rifles, everywhere, or hackers. I love this game, but since BF3 released most of the players have moved onto that. It's a shame, really...

I'm replaying 1999 Mode because I beat it with DLC the first time and I wanted to do it without the perks. It hasn't been too difficult at all so far. Knowing what weapons, vigors, gears and tactics work well really makes a big difference.

The only thing I've upgraded so far is possession for humans and crow traps from corpses. Crow traps from corpses combined with the Blood to Salt gear really makes the going easier. At first I thought this gear left salts on 40% of the corspes, but the salts are automatically applied to your salt meter on 40% of your kills. You don't even have to pick it up, so you can use far more vigors during the battle.

Infinite had a fantastic environment, are you kidding? If you like Rapture more, then more power to you, but Columbia was a fantastic concept. While I would've liked to have been able to explore more, this games setting was just as engrossing as any other BioShock, it was just different.

This is true. Elizabeth even contributes a little narrative towards this idea when you first enter Soldiers Field, talking about how the place is themed to acquaint children with national services, then saying "Train a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it". Clearly, to us as the player, this is also referring to Booker. He was, for all intents and purposes, a 'child soldier' at Wounded Knee. And here we are at Columbia, when Booker's pushing 40, and he's killing more people than ever. :P

This is where people are getting things twisted. Yes, Bioshock: Infinite plays similarly, yet much different, from its predecessors. Vigors/Plasmids are still a key element, yet a lot of the focus has been switched to gunplay. So yes, it's different, but does that mean it's NOT a "good game"? Absolutely not. I can agree that it is slightly dumbed down, feeling more like a modern shooter than previous entries, but it still has fantastic, fluid gameplay. It's still BioShock.

learn to play the game first, then maybe you will like it. Play online. I understand if you are not very good at the game you will think the gameplay and everything about the game sucks. Its not the game that sucks
