Looking back, was Bioshock Infinite really THAT bad?

All Bioshock games are bad.

Yes

To this day I'm angry about it. I watched the E3 trailers and thought "this looks fucking amazing", and didn't watch anything else after that as I didn't want any spoilers.

Then I played the game. What the fuck happened? It's like they slapped it together in a couple of months, all the cool stuff from the trailer was gone and all that was left was incredibly bland shooting and the most retarded "2deep4u" bullshit story in videogames.

Fuck it still makes me angry. I felt like I'd been lied to.

Any way to mod textures yet?

It wasn't bad in that it was playable, looked pretty and had some on the surface enjoyment. Problem was that it was a watered down Bioshock (which in turn was a watered down System Shock) with a dumb and pretentions story. I didn't even play the "REMEMBER BIOSHOCK?!?" addons. 5/10 wouldn't meh again.

I just can't quite put my finger on it. Why did Rapture feel so... odd compared to the city we explored in 1 and 2? You'd think it'd be impossible to screw it up even more after Infinite. Was it Levine's fault?

>Was it Levine's fault?

The answer is always yes.

Yeah. Very bad writing and meh gameplay.

Yes because it put her shitty SFM model in all the fucking porn

Because it was DLC. DLC is always souless.

Kind of.
Mediocre inventory shooters with worlds better suited for an exploration arpg formula.
Fallout: Rapture would have been better than a watered (heh) down System Shock 2 and its air-headed (hehe) sequel.

Inventory shooters?

>>It's like they slapped it together in a couple of months
That's quite literally what they did. There was an enormous story rewrite months before the game released. Ken Levine wanted to focus more on telling a wibbly wobbly timey wimey bullshit story with his daughterfu.

>Ok shooter
>engaging story
>It was good
three misses and you're out.

I get what you're saying, there was definitely something different about it but I just can't seem to figure out what it is..

She looks like she fucks dogs

And various other animals

I guess 3 resources you can accrue and spend when needed count as an inventory, somehow.
like fear had medipacks and several grenades.
>a watered (heh) down System Shock 2 and its air-headed (hehe) sequel
dear lord thats bad.

The fact critics praised it was one of the first time I really felt out of touch with videogame journalism.

It was fuckin awful. The more they try to salvage Infinite's awful writing the worse it all gets.

To the point where Liz fucks up Rapture and Daisy Fitzroy is subjected to the most retarded retcon I've ever seen.

NIGGERS WHAT SONG??

The only AAA game I know of that secretly encourages you to fuck your hot daughter, so it was never a bad game.

People loved the story and the setting of the first Bioshock, especially people who never played SS2. The game itself wasn't really anything revolutionary. I will say that Bioshock improves upon SS2 by having a better written version of the plot with a twist that wasn't as predictable. After they did that though they didn't really have anything to fall back on.

Bioshock 2, a cynical cash-in, was a better game in every single way and that fact is what sent Ken Levine off the deep end.

It was ok.
>Ok shooter
Average everything and one interesting mechanic(skyhook).
>engaging story
It was. Maybe not superb, but I've felt invested.
>It was good
It was. No major flaws and a few good elements here and there. The presentation was solid.
My guess is that you're judging not actually the game, but how does it compare to your imaginary good Infinite.

It's the fact that Rapture felt Columbianized, as in they didn't change the base game's gameplay at all.
So we ended up with things like reskinned Columbia weapons, drinkable plasmids that were totally there all along and the Fontaine SkyHook thing. Add to that the obvious graphical difference because of UE and how the first two looked identical, Rapture in BaS is quite literally a completely different city from that of the other games.

>It was. Maybe not superb, but I've felt invested.

No. No it fucking wasn't. It was half baked and didn't stand up to any scrutiny whatsoever. If you bothered trying to actually think about what the fuck was going on it made no fucking sense.

>my face after kino walking sim parts end
I'd be content with it if it was 5-10 dollar walking sim and you could walk around doing minigames listening to kino old timey music.

Infinite > b2 > b1

i heard that the bioshock series was really good, so i decided to buy the bioshock collection.
Beat the first one, combat was pretty clunky but enjoyable and the story was good.
Played the second one which had amazing gameplay in my opinion and a far better story than the first. 2 is one of my favorite shooter games of all time. Then i finally got to play infinite and dropped it about 3 hours in. All the fun and character from the bioshock series got sucked dry by a very linear and boring game with boring shooting and a story that doesnt make any fucking sense.
So yeah it was pretty fucking bad, especially when played back to back

I somewhat routinely play the intro and just quit, there's really nothing out there with a nicer aesthetic and they just fucking pissed it away.

I end up getting mad about this shitty game at least once a month.

No

1 > inf > 2

People adore Bioshock cause of the setting and aesthetic.

Columbia felt rather forced and uninspired

Yep.

I would really like a walking simulator with stuff to do here and there and a waifu to comment on stuff actually
Is there anything else like the first part of infinite?

>liking infinite more then 2
pleb taste. 2 was most kino.

the worst part of infinite is that it has fuckin zero sense of being a mile up in the sky

fucking mirrors edge had a greater sense of heights

you could put the entire game of infinite on the ground and you wouldnt really notice a difference except a different skybox

Great stuff. There are so many more things that could be in there too.

was always a little annoyed that people aren’t wearing coats in Columbia

>why do the twins steal bookers baby to give it to alternate universe booker and then get the original booker to steal it back?
>why do the twins decide to ruin bookers life for no reason and then bring him into another timeline where they didn't ruin his life for no reason for no reason?
>why is elizabeth a timelord?
>>Why does Elizabeth attack New York with huge zeppelins in the 80s? Why the 80s? Why NY?
All these have ingame answers

also that o2 content above 2 miles I dont think is life sustaining

That puzzle, if you can call it that, at the start really sets the tone for the rest of the game, just a really bland and boring experience from start to end. Being that the pc is a private dick I was expecting more dialog options and an actual investigation, being able to interact with the world in a more meaning way. Looking back, I really should have tempered my expectations.

I don't know, but I do love Futa Elizabeth
