Damn, what went wrong? I don't know if it's just me, but I can't stand the fact that you are rewarded for scavenging trash bins. Not only will you find food there, but also money (!?) and other useful stuff. Seriously, why would the devs destroy the atmosphere built by great visuals in such a stupid way?

Anyway, the game feels very simple, as if it was intended to be played on consoles only. To cap it all, when it comes to fighting, it doesn't even matter what weapon you use, everything is damn powerful, ammo is infinite. Is it really a 94/100 (metacritic) game?

You could do the same in Bioshock 1 and 2. But, I agree, it's not as good as the first two games.

Well, the first two had a chaotic environment, so scavenging felt right there.

You would likely love this Extra Credits video. It addresses the odd things Bioshock Infinite does in order to be a "Bioshock" game. I agree with you by the way :)

just finished bioshock infinite and can't recall scavenging trash bins in early game by itself...
|SPOILER|it really started after booker was revealed as false shepard and he had to struggle for his survival and accomplishing his mission to wipe his debts...
finding something valuable in trash bins subsequently in game can be explained that people started to panic because of appearance of false shepard and value of commodities for them totally had been lost...|/SPOILER|
|Possible SPOILER|as what about vigors my thoughts why they weren't so affected on columbia's people is main mission of cumstock to create army of "fishermans" leaded by elizabeth (seed of prophet) to be drown in flame the mountains of man.... that is why vigors are really expensive... and for example possession vigor is kinda cheap, so every columbia's citizen can lead mechanical patriots in future war against sodom below...|/Possible SPOILER|

EDIT: my bad, scavenging trashcans started from begging of game >.<

I think you're trying to say "hey don't call others assclowns when you yourself are one" in a very broken and complicated way. But anyway, like diabLo2k5 said, this game has its' storyline as a main focus of the game's experience. An experience which you've now partially ruined for me. It seems that it's a pretty big spoiler you gave.

Congrats on the lack of understanding, though!

Ok, at least now you've written "assclown" as signature... so now i at least know with whom i am talking...
as for your "partially ruined experience", i just advise you to pay attention to difference between what it might seem for you as huge (big) spoiler and what is actually huge (big) spoiler...
since you hadn't played game so you don't even have a clue about what can spoil game and what not... and yet i am repeating you that there weren't any huge spoilers in my first post

The problem is that if someone does point out whats a spoil and whats not a spoil in your post, then it would be even more visible what bits are the important bits.

Basically, BioShock Infinite is such a story driven game that it is important not to let out any facts about the story (however small) as it all adds up to a great experience. So just add a spoiler tag or something just for courtesy's sake.

lol, I remember my playthrough for both Bioshock 1&2 and had the same thought. Someday I will get infinite and play it.. even if its not as good as the other two.

For some odd reason it also reminds me of that one guy from Police Academy. The one who wondered why someone thrown away a perfectly good candy bar ( that was covered with ants ) into the ground. ( or was it trash? ) Not to mention when Mahoney first met the guy.. the cat using his serial as a littler box... he just flings the .. mess out of the bowl then eats the serial ><

Did you guys played the Elder's Scroll serie before it went to console? Just because you can't tell the difference between a console port and a pc exclusive doesn't mean the op pretend to be a good gamer or anything. Where did he said EVERY games made so far are crap? It's just a fact that consoles are limited and you can't make a gameplay as deep and as fast with a 15 degree thumbstick on a gamepad. This means in a first person shooter game you'll need some help like over-powerful weapons, ease to aim, slow AI etc.. Doesn't mean consoles are bad it just mean certain games are not optimized for pc because they were made to be played on a console. Oh and.. zeppelins are older than a space shuttle, doesn't mean it's better so your "old console better than pc gaming" argument if laughable at best. Just enjoy your games on the platform that you see fit.

"Did you guys played the Elder's Scroll serie before it went to console?"

Ohh you mean TeS 1&2? No, I didn't. I did play (a little) what people claimed to be the best TeS is Morrowind. And guess what? Its on the original Xbox.

"Just because you can't tell the difference between a console port and a pc exclusive doesn't mean the op pretend to be a good gamer or anything. Where did he said EVERY games made so far are crap?"
Here he did "as if it was intended to be played on consoles only." or do you mean OP as OP I replied to? Might want to read his comment again.

"It's just a fact that consoles are limited and you can't make a gameplay as deep and as fast with a 15 degree thumbstick on a gamepad."
more like 180 degree, ever used one? It uses more directions then you think then just N,E,S and W.

"This means in a first person shooter game you'll need some help like over-powerful weapons, ease to aim, slow AI etc.."
Never played a shooter on console did you? You can turn all those things down. Its called "Difficulty" PC has it too. And also all/most games have an option to turn off aim-assist, might want to try that before jumping into conclusions.

"Oh and.. zeppelins are older than a space shuttle, doesn't mean it's better so your "old console better than pc gaming" argument if laughable at best."

LOL, I NEVER said that Consoles are better then PC (or the other way around). Just saying that its retarded to blame Consoles for different gameplay since thats bullcrap. Might want to read posts better before commenting, ok?

"Just enjoy your games on the platform that you see fit."
Finally something we can agree.

Even tho I agree with you, the opposite has been proven true several times so far. Some/most just keep the weakest hardware in mind and do a direct port to the rest, we may not notice it but i'm sure many games scrapped specific things because of those limitations.

(like the dashboard cam in GRID2, the devs blamed the console hardware limitation partially)

Would rather blame the devs/publisher for being lazy by doing direct ports then actually optimize the game for every platform.

BTW, weren't there racegames on consoles with DashCams?

Comment has been collapsed.

I would rather blame the devs/publisher too but... Consoles sell way more copies (in the short run) so they dont give a fuck about us. The publishers think we should be happy to even get a shitty port :(

And yeah there are other games with dash cams, I just gave this as example because the devs partially blamed consoles and said they could use those hardware resources somewhere else, just like most probably do (even tho it doesn't matter on PC..). Why invest time if the majority (consoleusers) cant use it? It's easier to not do it for all. I learned to accept that we're only a minority for them :P

Ah well, it's a vicious circle. They release crappy ports, we dont like to buy crappy ports, they are mad for not selling enough. :(

The game has interesting characters,very good story,appealing graphics,beautiful city design and good voice acting.I think those compensate for the combat and those loopholes that can be found.The combat is not bad..it just doesn't live up to the game's other characteristics.And loopholes can be found in a lot of games/movies/books too.So overall...it's a good game play it.

So true. It's like they suddenly found they have problem called "gameplay": they made nice world, they have nice vision of humanity etc., but suddenly someone remembered "hey guys, there's nothing to do here", so they put quite basic shooter elements that fits like gastank and sugar.

They should have scrapped fighting and go TellTale way of just telling tale, leaving gameplay to bare minimum.

They lay it on heavy too, from the get go (i.e. as soon as you get off the boat) they have you scavenging for coins, it's totally atmosphere breaking. That wasn't my biggest complaint though; I thought the combat was boring, the story was trying way too hard to be too clever, it was very derivative of what has gone before it leading to constant deja vu and a pretty dull game. The graphics and sound was nice but that's not enough to make a good game IMO.

How about not paying attention to metacritic at all? How about actually reading reviews to see what weak and strong points are?

Comment has been collapsed.

When game has metacritic 94, that means nearly every review see it as another gaming milestone, so why bother reading them, as nearly all will say the same...

Reading reviews is good for games that are metacritiqued at less then 80, maybe 85, as that means it doesn't only get 9s and 10s, so there are chances for more opinions.

Oh and here I thought I was the only one that didn't enjoy it :P, It felt very Liner the fake choices was annoying the combat was alright most of the time but sometimes boring and I didn't like the ending, I really liked the story other then the ending and setting though not sure if thats enough to make up for the stuff I don't like.

The scavenging was annoying I tend to search everything I possibly can just because it annoys me to think I missed something.

Definitely not one of my favorite games I've played this year but one of the best looking for sure :P

The game is completely linear, you can't make any choices that matter, and once you've seen the ending - what's the point in ever seeing it again?

It's like Spec Ops, a game which I really loved and enjoyed, but I doubt I'll be replaying it. There's just no point.
