nothing
it's the best game in the series

it had bioshock in the title but it wasn't a bioshock game

it came out when people were getting bored of shooters with spastic, mindless enemies

obligatory

It was called Bioshock Infinite even though it didn't take place underwater. Bio means water, they should've called it Airshock instead.

shit story
shit gameplay
shit cast

nice but edgeless setting, taking the easy way when we know that pitchford originally wanted to make it more radical in regards to every single aspect.

Comparison between early trailers and the actual game, the announced scope of it that was never reached, irrational games being dissolved by pitchfork because he said it had grown far too large and the adjustments to the game made because of complaints of company workers for "insensitivity of feelings" that had become public show how much this project struggled and it shows.

They kept scrapping and changing shit so much that the early previews were completely different from the final product. The gameplay turned out dull and the story wasn't any good in the end. Fuck Ken.

I liked it. Honestly it came out during a drought so critics inflated the score calling it a masterpiece and all that. Sup Forums as you know is contrarian as fuck so there was a knee jerk reaction that still exists to this day. It set out to be a mix of CoD style games which were big at the time and immersion sims, it did a pretty good job at that. It's my least favorite in the series but anyone who writes it off as a bad game is just a Sup Forums tryhard

C'mon. I genuinely felt like it was a waste of time and a bad game after completing it. I avoided this fucking place around release due to spoilers and shitposting. I'm thankful that I didn't spend a dime on the game. I worked at a vidya store back then and checked out the first used copy.

They totally rewrote the story just six months before release, and had to stitch together a whole new game.

MAAAAAAAAAAAD

>Aeroshock

ftfy

>Bio means water
Are you retarded by any chance?

they rewrote they game like 6 times throughout development

It wasn't a full version of the E3 trailer.

Yeah, what if we got both versions? Sort of like a Director's Cut or "The Lost Levels"

Are you easily baited by chance?

>being this new

>let's put a linear corridor shooter and a hub-based nonlinear one into the same game!

the failures were worth the best waifu ever made

This. It was one of the few games that I regretted spending time with.
I pirated it just to show Sup Forums they were being contrarians and are blowing things out of proportions, but as it turns out the game was even worse than Sup Forums made it out to be.

It has no idea what it actually wants to be.

It's not really an RPG anymore like System Shock 2, or RPG lite like Bioshock.
If it's just a shooter it's not a very good one. It looks like they're going for a run and gun swashbuckling type gameplay but then there's a ton of shit that undercuts that, like half the tears being bits of cover etc.

Honestly it's like bits of 10 different games that they've kind of stitched them all together

Ambitions rose, deadlines approached, ideas were cut, ambitions died, Ken survived

They completely remade the game in less than six months in order to hit deadline.
It should have been delayed for a year and a half.

I liked it too, had fun, played it a few times. I still recognize that it's a flawed, stunted game that could have been MUCH better than it was.

i wish they stuck with booker's original voice actor

Who was it?

This was the worthy successor that Bioshock Infinite never was

fucking everything your a dumb bitch if you think infinite is a good game. Play something good instead this surface level shit jesus christ

Bland, run-of-the-mill guns and gun-play. The combat feel is the most important thing to me in games, and this is Infinite's biggest let-down when the other two games did a decent job at this.

Essentially the same spells as the other two games (whatever they're called in Infinite, they're spells in all but name obviously).
Absolute try-hard character design in terms of Elizabeth to try to make you care about her. Her personality is 2d and uninteresting, people only care about her because of their dicks (although she has spawned some high-fucking-quality porn).
Shit-tier story. Time-traveling/dimension jumping is lazy writing and full of plot-holes.
And there's a shit ton of back-tracking that is blatantly there to pad the game length.
