Three years after BioShock 2, the franchise returns with literally lofty ambitions.

Played for 15 minutes so far, it looks nice, haven't really got into it yet, later on I'll grab a couple of hours straight on it 😉

Got it installing at the moment 🙂

Really looking forwards to this one. Was probably a little bit young to really enjoy/appreciate the original BioShock, so here's hoping!

So how old are you now?

The first Bioshock was a great deal better. Following the book/story very closely when it was released. Exploring and unlocking the story. The new one is just too narrow minded for me. As exploring really only gains you some ammo, health/mana, and power up items. Nothing really special about it compared to the first one that had a great story line. Just about all of the audio tapes was rubbish, the little movie clip boxes was just bad. And the more you played, the more it seemed to be a rinse and repeat game play.

I like games that have replay value. Finding stuff you missed the first go around is a great thing. This one really has nothing to keep you coming back for though. It is nice to see something different though. Just wasn't for me. Again this is just my opinion, I'm sure some will get angry about the post.

Havent finished it yet, but I'm really enjoying it. I like the fact that its different graphically, and the game itself (without being an ogre on pc resources) is great looking.

My impressions so far are okey. Game is good and fun, i dont much like the graphics though. "Handling" is okeyish too for first person shooter, nothing as good as BF3 or CoD

How can't you just love the graphics in this game? Might be one of the best looking game I have ever seen, it's so pretty! I also think comparing BioShock Infinite to BF3 or CoD is like comparing Age of Empires to Neverwinter Nights, it's just not meant to be the same thing.. Everyone is entitled to an opinion though!

I really love this game, I haven't finished it yet but I find it just as entertaining as the first BioShock even if Infinite is just a tad more linear compared to the first game in the series.

I can understand why some people may not like the graphics; they aren't for everyone. That being said i love the style of them so love the graphics themselves. That being said when it came out i did notice a few problems, many of which were fixed with the latest driver download

Aye, each to his own. It has a "signature" artistic style which i dont much care about, although i do like the 1920's style, like its on Fallout and other games.

Havent played much a bit more 2hrs though and the story is just starting to unfold.

P.S

The first Bioshock game was a real "shock" in the game, the title was just awesome in so many ways.
