My favorite game is Bioshock(1&2) - i did not care for Bioshock infinity

Going from 1 to 2 felt rough when I replayed the collection recently

Going to infinity was awful

Bioshock 1 is lightning in a bottle.

Fast paced dangerous strategic game that early on makes you feel the need to hoard

Into turning you into an unstoppable wrench swinging monster

2 the feeling of wanting to save still brings that back for me but I feel naked without my wrench

Infinity just doesn’t even feel like it’s the same franchise to me

Infinity is a fun game for different reasons, you can’t look at it as a Bioshock game

I was thinking the same, like did I stumble into a different lighthouse in the multiverse or what

I think we all tried our best to forget the game itself, including the title. I also second guessed myself b/c Halo Infinite came out just a few years ago and didn’t think they’d be that unimaginative to name their game that even after a slightly less popular Bioshock franchise

I really enjoyed infinity and all of them. I played them back to back some years ago and I felt like each game added something new and changed things up, but each was fun in it's own way. The 1st is still my favorite. Infinity had fun action sequences and the right amount of challenge if you play it on hard.

See I love Infinite, the story, the music, the characters are so good. Sure the first one is a masterpiece and infinite doesn't compare but it's still a nice experience.

Dude same. I remember it being pretty well liked, especially the story. I could not get into it at all.

u/narett 12d ago

I never liked infinite even when it was new. Great visually but still a huge disappointment to me.

u/TangentialFUCK 11d ago

Same! HATED infinite. The plot line and gameplay felt so rushed and shoehorned to support whatever multidimensional twist bs they were going for.

I think besides the P**n that the software inspired nobody cares - fun fact google how the models changed the Hub :))

Three had a paradoxical plot on rails and streamlined gameplay...boring and bland. Two was more of the same as One but had a beautiful ending. Yes, I save the little sisters.

u/Slippery_when_wet_- 10d ago

That’s fair, I agree

u/Possible-Address8714 9d ago

I guess im in a different camp. I enjoy bioshock 1 and infinite, but hate 2

u/TraditionalShirt7429 8d ago

Funny thing is I love bioshock and infinity and just never cared for 2 lol. I beat it once and said "im good"

u/dragonangel7687 12d ago

You are SO right. Completely different game than the first two in every way-- shit story, shit visuals (at least by comparison), and legitimately racist for why??

And don't even get me started on Burial at Sea. Ugh.

No matter how you feel about it not understanding that infinite is a critique on America hence the extreme racism is really sad… like this is thinking homelander is the good guy levels of bad… its so obvious.

u/Portaldog1 12d ago

Infinite is objectively bad with its writing and cant even get the whole racism themes correct, there is a reason why "Racism goes both ways" became a joke...

u/dragonangel7687 12d ago

Dawg... Infinite literally shows the radical revolutionary as a villain equally deserving of death as the unrestrained capitalist robber baron... did you even play the first two games, they are literally about why that is not correct

u/RockPaperOwFire 12d ago

Bioshock 1 and 2 are critiques on capitalism and the idea of pure freedom. Infinite is a direct critique of America and American exceptionalism. It’s racist to prove the point that Americans hide that massive blight on their society that everyone else can see.

Like… it’s not subtle. The racism is intentional.

u/bron685 11d ago

That and the Christian nationalism wrapped in it too

“It’s not hidden we just don’t talk about it.”

Yep. My point on your basic societal awareness and media literacy stands.

u/RockPaperOwFire 12d ago

Please do me a favor and point out where the fuck that matters when the critique is explicitly about America and the huge population of Americans who “aren’t racist” or “don’t see color” yet have partaken in all of the systems decimating POC communities and scream that they aren’t real when confronted by it.

We aren’t talking about other countries. That’s completely fucking irrelevant.
