When did you realize Infinite is just a huge rip-off of Bioshock 2?

The whole father/daughter thing was kind of a huge giveaway.

I'm playing through these games right now, just got to Infinite, am at a place called Shanty something.
I really have to ask, how the fuck did this game get so much praise? It's pretty much nothing like Bioshock 1 and 2 and is a complete corridor shooter with shitty level-design and dumbed down simplified combat straight-line levels and also filled with obvious cuts in content. The whole thing feels stitched together from a bunch of torn off pieces of a bigger painting.
This shit is nothing like the previous games and at best is a average generic corridor shooter with some big setpieces, what's the deal with the praise?
I'm at this shanty place and the story has gone nowhere so far.

Bioshock 2 was boring

It came out on the heels of SJW/Outcry culture so it was one of the early “champions” of progressive games that couldn’t be criticized.

I felt they with Infinite more so. 2 took about 15 hours before it hit the “ok can we move this along? Infinite was something like the first few hours.

>tfw you can feel the game's potential but it never materializes

The game had some soul. I liked the parts where you date Elizabeth.

>I liked the parts where you date Elizabeth.
This. Elizabeth was a nice waifu for Buck, that father daughter shit messed up the game

2 was same-y and rode the coattails of 1 but at least it had great gameplay and a decent story. Infinite is just a mess. Literally fanfic-tier writing.

I just don't understand how it got so much praise. Yeah some because of the outcry or whatever, but literally 9-10/10's one of the greatest stories and best games of all time?
Granted I haven't finished it, but the story is plain, uninteresting and has gone almost nowhere all the way up until where I am now and none of the characters has had any development. They want to tell a story about "racism" but it's all so tame and docile and Elizabeth is literally a Disney princess with no emotional scarring from years of being locked up in the tower and Booker is more stale than the protagonist from Bioshock 1 so far, and Booker actually talks.
Shit almost makes me mad, Bioshock 1 was great and 2 improved on the gameplay from 1 in several aspects (although failing to keep with the quality of the writing, but still delivered something that was a bit more emotionally involving because of Subject Delta and plot, like the developers and writers knew they couldn't have as great of a plot as Bioshock 1 so instead of trying and failing they actually went for a more emotional angle because that would be easier to do)
I watched some videos from 2010 or 2011 and it seems super open there? Does the game open up suddenly? I've been playing for a while now but it's just corridors and shitty arenas with shit level-design. The tears are totally uninteresting and the guns are all boring compared to the previous games.

MAY THE CIRCLE

Remember what could have been.

Look at how much it changed from E3 to E3 it seems like development was a mess and a half. And it seems like the story was rewritten at least once.

What was his endgame?

His waifu.

It's Will The Circle, retard.

BY AND BY

Bioshock 2 is a 10/10 game until eleanor becomes an active plot element. She's a srupid character

I will always like Infinite because the brief pockets of uninterrupted Columbia Atmosphere are really engaging and wonderful. Gameplay and story are ass but the music and carnivals were really nice.

big daddy IN SPA- the AIR

what's the tube for? smelling his own braps?

What's wrong with Eleanor? I thought she was great. Unlike Elizabeth she actually reacts to your choices through the game and as far as I can remember her audio is different depending on whether you've been good or bad.

In general, I think 2 was the best game of the lot. It's unfair to say 1 was better because it built the world. 1 did build an amazing world and, admittedly, Sofia was a worse antagonist than Ryan... but at least they tried something different. The story was haunting, way more-so than the first game, with the shit like Gilbert, Subject Delta, that guy who went looking for his little girl, what ultimately happens to bro Sinclaire, etc.
Playing as a Big Daddy felt amazing, too. Don't tell me you didn't enjoy drill charging splicers. It ruined the horror, sure, but I feel like they went for it being disturbing rather than 'scary' - and they pulled that off extremely well.

At the very least, they should have said Booker was alt. Delta and Elizabeth was alt. Eleanor, since it's obvious how similar they are. The Infinite that was shown at E3 was simply amazing, unfortunately the game that we got was lacklustre. Bioshock 1 had amazing worldbuilding, a great villain but decent gameplay and not much else imo. Felt like Levine was just butthurt in not including ANYTHING from 2. Though honestly, Levine is a hack and as much of a lying PoS as Molyneux and Todd. Not sure why he never gets flak for that.

>"quantum mechanic" asspulls
These were honestly the worst aspect, we couldn't just have similar ideas in a different setting no everything had to be tied together with the damn tears.

nothing's wrong with eleanor. that guy is just an incel.

>What's wrong with Eleanor?
Nothing she is a mech better character than Elizabeth, the neutral ending really cements this.

>What's wrong with Eleanor?
she's not a disney princess who constantly throws ammo, money, and mana refills at you and never lets you die. also she's not not an sfm porn star.

>two games in the same series are similar

WOAH

I love 2 but I just found Eleanor extremely annoying during a recent playthrough. First time through as a teen I was ambivalent towards her but I dunno, she just bugs me. I'm not pretending it's a rational criticism.

Bioshock 2 really is the best. Bioshock had a great narrative to follow and plenty of fun mechanics, but it feels clunky and very similar to Infinite's stun-shoot-stun-shoot tedium. 2 legitimately feels very open ended mechanically and the updated hacking mechanic was a fantastic change.
2 also delivered an excellent sense of power. Delta felt like a formidable, stomping, thwomping warrior and the narrative of being an experimental undersea stepdad trying to rescue your stepdaughter from some Commie matriarch charlatan was truly engaging. Minerva's Den was cool too.

damn now i have to jerk off to elizabeth again

>Minerva's Den was cool too.
Had a better twist than infinite too.

THIS ONE DIED ALONE AND AFRAID

>that father daughter shit messed up the game
Shouldn't have made that porn and triggered levine's autism then

Elizabeth is prime waifu material and the graphics are still beautiful.

No, fuck you. Elizabeth literally kills the leader of the black people.

>also filled with obvious cuts in content
Do you feel like that just because you saw the early demo/trailers or do you actually feel like something is missing in the game?

Be honest.

Bought flowers and a bracelet for my gf just two days ago. Washed period blood off my cock the next morning. Stop projecting, discards.

But the porn was after the game released

Getting all his boss fights cut out.

But the black SJW chick fuckin dies

>>when another studio makes a better game than yours and you hate it so bad you try to retcon it with a bunch of "quantum mechanic" asspulls in the third game's dlc

This reminds me of what happened with tbe clone wars cartoons

after the character's boobs were reduced

you retard, all the art is based on the pre-final game Elizabeth

>after the character's boobs were reduced
oh shit you're right
i forgot about this and the first E3 trailer

It was really funny since it barley made since in the context of infinites story too it was a mess and a half.
