Bioshock Infinite (1 Viewer)

I might be in the minority here, but I couldn't even finish Bioshock 2 because I thought it was boring. I did however think the first Bioshock was one of the best games I'd ever played with some of the best atmospheres I'd ever seen in a game. This is what makes me worried over this third one. Is it going to lose that creepy but retro balance of atmosphere? Am I going to be wrapped up in the story like I was in 1 but not in 2?

Edit: I realize now reading back through this thread that I already said this on page one. My bad.

What I liked most about Bioshock 2 was how I played the game affected the ending... one of the few game franchises that has ever elicited any kind of emotion from me...

Some of the different endings... (spoiler alert if you haven't played/finished Bioshock 2)

I never played the second one, but had similar feelings about the first. This might assuage your fears:

I have a copy of Xcom and (It's claimed) the first Bioshock for PC through Steam if anyone wants them.


Got them for preordering but already have both games. First to PM me their email with which game they want get's it.




Quick draw!



Still have the first Bioshock.

PM sent Cosmic!

 

[buzd]

Ha +1.

 

[xpuma20x]

If Buzd beat me to the punch or requested the same game, give it to them. I have several games I still haven't played and shouldn't be greedy

Yeah, the second got amazing reviews also and I just couldn't get into it. I could have missed it already, but is Infinite going to be a stand alone game that you don't need to have really finished 2 to play?

Yeah, supposedly it takes place in an alternative reality. You might miss some cameos and easter eggs but none of the story is needed. I was the same way with the second game. I loved the first one but never could finish the second.

 

[buzd]

I thought the second game didn't get very good reviews. I really liked the first one, but completely skipped the second one based on the reviews. After reading that joystiq review, I may be getting this one.

It's totally unrelated to BioShock 1 and 2. Ken Levine has said that BioShock is a series about ideas and philosophies, not recurring settings and characters. Also, he had nothing to do with BioShock 2. It was a cash-in sequel pushed solely for financial reasons.

Bioshock did pretty well. 88 on metacritic. You were right.

 

[Madhattr]

[Optimus Walken]
