harryisonfire Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Okay, so I was late to the party on this one. I'd never played Bioshock before, I'd obviously heard a lot about the series and how great they are, but I'd just never got round to buying them. Anyway, I saw the Premium Edition of this for 30£ so I decided to get it. Probably one of the greatest gaming decisions I've ever made. This game is amazing, I mean it's a fucking masterpiece! From the start to the end I loved the gameplay and visuals and everything about the city and Booker. The story, I mean wow, the story is incredible, like one of the best I've played, hands down. Elizabeth was just so easy to get attached to, and I really loved Booker's character and really enjoyed playing as him. The combat system is really good too, with some awesome weapons to go with it. Anyway, I finished the game about an hour ago, and holy shit, what a beautiful ending. I had my mouth wide open for the whole last chapter, just taking it all in, seeing how all the pieces clicked together, trying to understand the whole different-world-and-time thing. Only was it when I reached the final scene, and the credits started rolling, and at first I was like 'what'?, when it hit me. I understood it. And I cried, man. Then there was the short scene after the credits. Fuck, talk about cliffhangers. Downloading the Clash in the Clouds DLC right now, and really looking forward to Burial at Sea. Sorry guys, I just really needed to write and post this after my incredible experience. What a great fucking game. Definitely going to get Bioshock 1 & 2 now.

The Great American Savior Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 You're spot on, Bioshock Infinite is one of the best games of this generation. However, I don't think it tops Bioshock. So definitely get Bioshock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMeeks Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Great game, Story wise I still feel the first Bioshock is the best though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryisonfire Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Great game, Story wise I still feel the first Bioshock is the best though Quite a few people have said that to me, guess I'm just going to have to try and see for myself.

Terminator Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Great game, Story wise I still feel the first Bioshock is the best though I'm the same, BS 1 is great apart from the ending, 2 sucked in all areas and Infinite almost tops BS 1 .

Just ordered the BioShock 1 & 2 Rapture Edition off Amazon for 25£. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 That's a good buy and you get a bonus DLC for BS 1 that lets you look at all the abandoned concepts for the game . The Museum DLC is exclusive to the URE but it has no trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHoodHunter Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 BI is very solid but doesn't come close to Bioshock 1 which is easily one of the best games ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrippyPBA Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 lol I may be the only person who actually enjoyed bioshock 2 :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dz06lt Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 lol I may be the only person who actually enjoyed bioshock 2 :\ Its not that people didn't enjoy it, the first one was just so much better, it was impossible for them to match it. My biggest issue with 2 was that you are a big daddy yet you are weak as shit, I understand the game still needed to be challenging however BD's are so powerful the weakness they gave the player in 2 was a joke.

RoldokBio Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 lol I may be the only person who actually enjoyed bioshock 2 :\ No honestly your not, i love Bioshock 2. Plus it is still a VERY well supported game online STILL, which is probably the most surprising thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solstice Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I only played Bioshock 2 from when it was free on PS+ but have been wanting to pick up Infinite since. I really want to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol you do have a point with that. Remember how powerful Rosie was with the rivet gun? Rivet gun in 2 is like...6 shots to kill a splicer :/ The story wasn't as good as 1 but still enjoyable with cool new characters in the rapture universe. A couple of the levels were excellent (Dionysus park sticks out especially) It did get kind of repetitive having to do so many little sister gatherings. The idea was great and I enjoyed it but they overloaded us with it. Glad to hear the multiplayer is still kicking! I may boot it up and play it some this month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainteal Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I played Bio Shock 1 and 2 a few months ago and was blown away at how awesome they were. The original game was amazing! Bio Shok 2 was not nearly as good as 1, but it was still an awesome play. The multi player grind in 2 was pretty nasty, but I have to admit it was still fun to play at least. One thing I loved about Bio Shock 1 was how the game was a bit older but didn't feel dated at all. Do yourself a favor and get to it on playing the earlier incarnations of this series! I finally got around to getting Infinite this week and I am LOVING it so far. It is tight. I totally feel you on having to get on here and proclaim the awesomeness!

GTA was far from any "average joes Goty" this game while good cant even compete with its originator. Honestly for early 2013 releases it wasn't even best game of the quarter as Tomb Raider is superior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished this on my medium play through and was blown away with the closing of the story. Great game across the board. GTAV was awesome,. but I think this one takes the cake in my book.

TrippyPBA Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Haven't tried Tomb Raider because most people I know told me the game was terrible. Not very true to the original Tomb Raider style. Also said it was very short….hmm maybe ill have to give it another look. Saw it for $20 new at target recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its not the same old tomb raider, that's why its so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
