BioShock Infinite Isn't BioShock 3

Irrational Games' BioShock Infinite feels like a pretty terrible BioShock game, but it's entertaining anyway when you're swept up in it.

Bioshock Infinite is one of my favorites having a city float in the skies is just as good as a city under water. The DLC has some bugs to it but I enjoyed it. And who is to say that Infinite is Bioshock 3 it could simply be a side story until Bioshock 3 comes out.

"BioShock Infinite Isn't BioShock 3"

Hhhhh obviously not, since it's called Bioshock Infinite

Neonridr1208d ago

Infinite is just part of the entire Bioshock universe. It doesn't need to be a specific number in the series.

There is always a lighthouse, there's always a man, there's always a city.

FinalSpero1207d ago

It is a great Bioshock though. And my personal favorite of the series. Just because it isn't in Rapture doesn't make it bad.

The setting is amazing aesthetically, but everything else wasn't very Bioshock. First 2 games can be pretty repetitive gameplay wise, but the world building is something Infinite lacked big time. It's themes were also poorly done and it was all over the place as it kept its generic FPS pace. With that said if Kevin could come back and make the game that he first talked about i would love to see it

So not saying the first two games are on a Deus Ex level, but the combat was 5x less repetitive to Infinite for me. In Bioshock you could tailor your build to be plasmid or weapon, or melee or hacking. You had actual moral choices to make that actually impacted the game (especially in 2). The second game in general has really fun combat, even if the story is lacking.

I never felt those games went as far as they could, but Infinite definitely doesnt. Two weapon limit, no choices, reliance on long cinematics and a linear story.

I have the bioshock collection and I've been meaning to get into it sometime. I just wonder when I'll have the time and if it'll live up to the praise it gets.

B68W1206d ago

You and me both. I've started the original Bioshock a couple of times and then get sidelined and forget where I'm at but it was fun when I was playing it. Infinite I bought years ago standalone and played it straight through, I thought it was a fun game with it's own charm, I think you'll like it.

Top 10 Rarest Xbox 360 Games That Are Worth a Fortune

"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"

1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.

I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.

gamerz296d ago

Me too. Here's the best I can do:

El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76

Christopher295d ago

Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.

Soy295d ago

It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.

jznrpg296d ago (Edited 296d ago )

Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.

sadraiden295d ago

Fallout 3 and Bioshock Infinite are the rarest games of all time.

8 Best Games Set In A Multiverse

One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.

However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.

While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.
