First Review for Bioshock Infinite is Up!! (Official Review Thread)

[OmegaK2099]

how come this game creates so many damn saves?

 

[Grand Eeezus Maxwell]

I just started my second playthrough on 1999 mode i think im gunna die at least a thousand times cus Hard mode really gave me that work..had to lower the difficulty just to beat the end part

Yeah me too, that part is cheap as hell. Once I started using the Shock Jockey/Hand Cannon combo it was a wrap, though.

just finished it. great story and ending wasn't that confusing to me...pretty straightforward

The ending seems pretty straightforward. Until you start looking into different interpretations of it.

except the fact that the post-credits scene is tacked on and contradicts the ending before it.

damn just finished this...imo BS:I story is better then the first one..but i feel gameplay was kind of downgraded vs BS.BS had hacking, a dedicated ressource for upgrading abilities vs just using money..the enemies in bioshock had also more variety vs infinite (cept handy man gave me that work though)..and i miss the overall horror tones of bioshock cept there was one level in infinite that was creepy (won't spoil).. I haven't palyed a game witha story this good sinceee...maybe kotor or chrono trigger/cross..

maybe 65-70% done when you come back from that and hit the Vox Populi arc the story is about to come to a close. when Comstock's house comes into play that's a wrap.

exactly how i feel. the gameplay is too streamlined and i find a ruined city with even more ruined citizens more compelling than what is going on here...

we went from hacking to letting the girl pick locks or using vigor to control others.

it's all compelling on paper, but to play it is to kinda feel like gameplay took a backseat to storytelling

to be honest as much as people try to shyt on it Bioshock 2 is light years ahead of the original and this one when it comes to Gameplay.

the thing about bioshock 2 was the story was def it's weakest point..even though it was good ..it just didn't have that twits that bioshock 1 and infinite had..but i agree with you the gameply elements in 2 were def better then infinite but not sure about 1..they streamlined hacking and weapon customization but hte inclusion of eleanor and the big sisters were a huge plus
