Then the game came out, and it was just... eh? Like it wasn't bad, it was just bog standard. It didn't really do anything particularly well. Idk. I preferred the original Bioshock cus it was more exploration oriented, and of course Infinite couldn't have that because of Elizabeth. Actually a LOT of the game's problems stem from Elizabeth, and arguably the best parts of the game are the parts where she's not with you.

I kind of hated how in the early showing of the game it implied Elizabeth had all sorts of crazy powers. But in game it was really nothing.

What do you mean? Like at the beginning of the game? The Luteces rowed him there.

Nope! lol

I mean, pieces of that trailer are there. But like that crazy huge multi-leveled area with all the crazy shit going on? No.

That's one of the things you learn as you go through the game, the Luteces made Columbia, of course they know how to get there.

Well... maybe... but Infinite was released in 2013. The next Bioshock game is JUST entering pre-production. 2K just announced a new studio to make Bioshock 4 just this month. So it'll be years before we see a next Bioshock game, if we even see one.

Yeah but like I said, all that's been said about it is they are just getting a team together. In the mean time, the System Shock remake, and System Shock 3 are on the way. lol

Keep in mind, they're doing Bioshock 4, but it's 2k doing Bioshock. Not Irrational Games doing Bioshock. Not Ken Levine doing Bioshock.

Ken Levine only worked on Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite. Bioshock 2 was done without him, and by a different development team, because 2k wanted to cash in on the IP and didn't give a shit about auteur integrity.

So if you loved Bioshock 2 just as much as the other games, it might not matter to you. But if you're like a lot of people and kind of hated Bioshock 2 for not feeling like it actually belonged as part of the franchise, because it was kind of a cynical cash-grab made by different people, then you might not like Bioshock 4 when it eventually happens.

Bioshock 2 is better than Infinite because it's at least fun to explore and play.

kind of an unfair comparison tbh.

few games are gonna compare to the atmosphere and style of the first bioshock.

Except for the story I liked the second game more than the first, but I expected much worse because of the hate.

That might have been the key for you - you went in with lower expectations and wound up enjoying it, while the people who were coming directly from the original Bioshock had high expectations and wound up being disappointed.

The first is easily the best, even with its age. But all 3 are great.

So, Emporia is easily the best level in the game. It's large, open, tons of side paths to explore. It feels like a Bioshock game, how about that? :P And I replayed Burial at Sea Episode 1, and I'm playing Episode 2 for the first time. BaS is a better Bioshock game than Infinite. You have to scrounge for resources. Enemies actually pack a punch. There's tons of places to explore.

Seriously, what the HELL happened to Infinite during development?? Did the actual game shipped to stores just get sloppily put together in the last few months of development?

I really don't like the parts in BaS 2 that retconned BS2.

It felt like they replaced all the actual good parts of the Bioshock 2 story with something boring af.

I wasn't at all a fan of the original Bioshock's art design.

I enjoyed the games well enough, but I didn't like looking at it.

I have the opposite opinion of Elizabeth, she's basically what makes Infinite worth playing at all, because the story makes no sense.
