Thoughts on Bioshock Infinite

[J-Hem]

My son and I just picked this up and have been playing it and it is amazing. I agree with all the high scored reviews it got. One of the few sequels that I think actually surpasses the original. Anybody else get this yet? Opinions? Also why can't developers make a good Aliens based game? I thought Colonial Marines would finally do it but no.
Its terrible too.

Never played the first one. I saw the commercials to this one and it looked pretty good. Do you have to play the first to get what's going on in the sequel?

 

[J-Hem]

No not at all it's a totally different story and main character.

While you don't need to have played the original in order to understand the story of Infinite, it would give you a familiarity of certain things (vigors, audio diaries, etc..,).

The game itself is wonderfully done and nicely keeps the feeling of isolation and chaos that was felt during Rapture. You are thrown right into the middle of an actual civil war unlike the 1 & 2 where you dealt with the aftermath.

The environment is vast with endless nooks and crannies in which to explore. If you can pick up on it, you'll see/hear a few subtle hints of the future.

Playing both the first games will help, sorta, towards the end of the game you will understand what I mean.

I recommend playing the first two just because they are freaking awesome games.

I'm not going to ruin it but it's not the future but it is

I just might have to pick up the set. I need a new game to play. Forza and halo are getting old.

Its been great so far. The "chapters" are almost seamless. Having Elizabeth to help is great in combat. This one seems more deadly, hits seem to take more life out of you. Gotta love the head shots

Looks amazing, I have yet to finish the first though. Not enough time and too many games in the house. Maybe once summer hits I will have a little more time to play and work on the car.

I have played all three, and never finished the first two though i did get close on the first one. This one is a refreshing game compared to the other two. While i loved the underwater dark tone of the games, i really like the vibrant sky scenery of this on. The other games also seemed to always keep you in dire need of ammo and salts, but this one seems to give them to you pretty readily. On the other hand it seems like you lose life alot easier/faster than previous games. I've only played for a couple of hours, but im taking my time and discovering everything i can think of.

We just beat it. My only regret is that it was so good we couldn't put it down and played through it so fast ! I see what you meant about the ending. I won't spoil anything but it's a trip.

I'm a big fan of the first two so I'm definitely going to pick this game up as well

 

[roy_1031]

Well I went out and bought it and I must say I like it. 5 hours have gone by and I'm barely realizing how long I have been playing the game for.

A friend of mine has it. It's pretty cool, for sure.

 

[DSG2003Mach1]

I watched my cousin playing the first two a couple of times and had zero interest in it, a friend was playing this one this weekend and it looks pretty cool...might have to pick it up later

 

[pho_phizzat]

I was thinking of buying this or the new tomb raider. Not sure which to get. I did not play the first to bio shock games.

Picked it up yesterday, but only had time to play for 30 minutes. Pretty good though. Digging the landscape.

Went and bought it yesterday, pretty cool so far made it about an hour in. I love the city, the layout, the cult type following. I am looking forward to playing it some more.

I wouldnt call number 2 awesome, I would say its good only. 1st one was amazing though! Havent had time to even install Infinite, picked it up for PC so hopefully I get to play it this weekend.

Tomb Raider is pretty damn awesome!! Im still in the first 10 hours but its such a fun game. A lot more like Uncharted but with more exploring. Different from the past Tomb Raider games. I would pick that one up as well, you wont be disappointed.
