Is this game worth playing at all...?

I played the First two bioshocks and loved them I started playing Bioshock Infinite today and its just meh...I mean it doesn't feel like Bioshock at all.Im on the part right where I kill the big fire-man and the enemies feel to easy and Idk it just doesn't feel right to me,I mean the first two bioshocks were Immersive and amazing,but maybe I should play alittle more?Is the story good at all to continue playing?

No, Jeff's a casual.

.....

Bump the difficulty up? I personally don't care for it much

It's good, certainly. But it doesn't hold a candle to the first one.

Yes of course. Keep playing it. I like it more though than the Bioshock 1 or 2. The gameplay stays fun in this one and the story is just nuts and much harder to see through for me than the other 2.

Its on Hard

It's worth experiencing, yes.

The first hour of actual gameplay (after the long intro) is easily the weakest part of the game for me. Keep playing.

I haven't seen Patrick cover it, so there's no way it's worth playing.

Hahahahah no. No it is not.

It's the best Bioshock game ever made. So, no?

your a bioshock

This might be too revolutionary of a thought, but if you don't like it... maybe don't play it?

Why are people so dependent on other folks opinions? I thought BI was great and I loved the intro, so if you don't, my views obviously don't apply.

(if you have to keep the meme going, at least use the correct form of that word)

This game is great. But you don't have to play it if you don't like it.

ur a word

I'll take it.

You've literally played like 30 minutes. Yes you should absolutely give up on this highly critically acclaimed game in a series that you enjoyed all the other entries in based on the first thirty minutes.

Yes it is.

Play System Shock 2 instead

Did you get to the beach part?

The combat's too easy? Bump the difficulty up.

The game is atmospheric as hell, at least for me. If you're hating it nothing's gonna change your mind.

I thought it was a really cool game. I never did understand all the hate that came down on it.

No, stop.

STOP NOW!

If someone thinks that the combat in Infinite is a slog, man, they've got a rude awakening in store when they try SS2.

Play it on 1999. The combat eventually gets really boring on that mode as well (to the point where I couldn't even be bothered to finish the game), but it was good fun for a couple of hours.

You need to learn how to think for yourself, dude.

"Hey guys, I played this game for 10 minutes! I need to be told if I should like it or not!"

@cloudymusic: Maybe, but SS2 is much less combat-focused than infinite.

Alternatively tie one of your hands behind your back and have another person continuously discuss all the plot holes in the story to distract you.

I hated the combat, but that doesn't mean the game isn't worth playing necessarily. Just set it to easy mode and enjoy the story, which is what I did.

It's a great game, screw the haters.

But it's cool to hate Infinite.

This whole thing took such a dumb turn the game is a marvel it is beautiful, well told, has better combat than any previous game in the series, great set pieces, If you played both Bioshock 1&2 HOW In the fuck would you find Infinite not interesting? Yes there are gaps yes some of the story beats are underdeveloped for some the combat wears thin (Not my experience it got Better as the game went on its not easy) to much of the story context is held in recording boxes.

But there is a Fully realized wonderful universe with a pretty kickass game attached to it and now that the launch is over and everyone is done saying how great it was now its just getting unfairly picked apart over BS.

ADD Version: The game is wonderful finish it.

Yes, play it.

It's cool to hate it. The story has problems with racism, granted. But it's still a no-holds-barred adrenaline fueled thrill ride.

Best game of 2013 so yes.

I like that anybody who dislikes this game has their opinions dismissed with "it's cool to hate it." Because the amount of times it shows up in top ten lists and comes up in discussion on these forums would imply otherwise. Maybe I'll just start retorting with "you just like whatever people tell you to."

Anyway, the game is divisive. Some people don't like it, some people really do. That's fine. But either way you should try to develop your own feelings for it, and identify what you do or don't like about the experience. If you're worried about buying a copy, it'll be on PS Plus (if that's an option for you) next month.

I know! It's too late for me, I'm just trying to help the OP be cool.

I love Infinite. It's absolutely worth playing, at the very least to have your own opinion on it.

Keep going with it. I think Infinite is amazing and "immersive", but yes, it does take a departure from the first two games, that's one of the best things it does.

I really enjoyed it at the time, but a lot of that may have been hype in retrospect. If you know the big twist/have seen the ending sequence, no. Otherwise, it may be worth continuing because the end info dump is one of my favorite game sequences of the year.

It's an amazing game. I don't know what all these haters are talking about.

It was on sale for just £6.24 a little while ago! Seems like it'd be worth playing to find out if it was worth playing!

Obviously dude. If it isn't for you that's cool but its a great game.

No.

Let's see how you get on in the graveyard if you're finding it easy.

@flameboy298: Play on 1999 mode if you want a challenge. If not them just accept that the game on normal difficulties isn't hard at all and its meant for people to just plow through.

I honestly didn't find that area very difficult. But that last fight on the bridge was very difficult (and solely due to that fight, I've crossed off ever going back and playing through on 1999 mode).

Bioshock Infinite is more immersive than the first two Bioshocks. Haha. Play it on the hardest difficulty. It's not an insanely difficult game, but the combat is fun and the story is incredible (no matter what Patrick says...).

That doesn't sound snobby at all...

I thought it was fucking amazing.
