Rented this from Redbox for a couple of days.
It feels exactly like Bioshock but with less to do, a worse location and worse characters.
Kind of got bored with it and stopped playing. I'll probably pick it up sub-$20 someday.

Just check out the ending on youtube. You won't have missed anything but way too much combat.
I really like the setting so I'm not sure what Mzo's on about. I guess it's technically less interesting than Rapture but it's still a billion times better than what we get in virtually all big games.
It feels like they wasted the setting on a mostly linear FPS though.
Most of the interesting bits about the setting are up front anyway. The rest often feels like dressed up combat arenas.
The best parts are before you get your guns and plasmids vigors, the stretch where you can't use them, and when you're done using them. :-/
Columbia > Rapture
Fuck water
Columbia is a surprisingly dull place for a floating city. The skyrails are neat, but they don't play into the gameplay nearly as much as I expected. Sure, you can shoot enemies, but you have to slow down to do any real damage, and that means you'll just get pelted. While handimen can shock you right off of it. Otherwise, it might as well be Call of Duty with airships in place of helicopters and UAVs.
The reveal of Columbia was nowhere near as cool as the Rapture reveal. The jump from exploration to mass homicide is so instant and jarring, Darmonde and I were both like "what the fuck just happened?"Quote:

Also regenerating shields and only two guns, fuck you so much. I can't wait until we leave that shitty fad behind.
The best bits of Bioshock Infinite are all at the very end and the very beginning. The middle is kind of a meh shooter.
Even though I agree, I *really* like the "Ascention... Ascention... Hallelujah" part.Quote:
