Bioshock Infinite

No way, I don't like it at all. I prefer to hole up in one location and pick people off from afar, and spam with fire if they get too close. I don't care for zipping around, firing all willy-nilly.

I think I'm about a third of the way through the game. Aside from the aforementioned combat overkill, it's wonderful.

The combat is so fucking fun. The sky rail fights? Holy shit. I want DLC for a sky rail horde mode.

I support this idea.

Finished it. Disappointing overall. I wanted to be blown away as some of the pot smoking reviews were. I was not. Gameplay wasn't anything special and the sky rail stuff was more gimmick than fun. Good story, sound and looks though.

If this game was about just the combat, I would have thought it was average at best. It was standard waves of enemies/collect ammo/shoot more enemies type of gameplay. There was such a lack of experimentation in how battles played out that it just didn't grip me like any of the System Shock 2's and Bioshock's before it. To the point where some areas were just downright annoying, like fighting Lady Comstock, twice, and it being fucking stupid and boring. Or the battle on the airships before you board Comstock's craft, which had the potential to be something really awesome and fun, but it just wasn't for me. And I have to agree with Mog, the skylines were cool at first, but once you realize they are basically small circular tracks, and the mechanics for attatching/dismounting/attacking aren't quite as fluid as you would like, I used them more as an escape from danger than anything that was fun or useful while fighting.

On the other hand, the entire world, dialogue, story, characters, yadda yadda yadda, more than make up for it and make the game absolutely fantastic. Not so sure I'm going to play through it again anytime soon, but I was very happy with how it turned out.

I am thinking of doing an all Vigor, no dolla bill run

Agree 100%

I wanted to shotgun Songbird in the face. Bummer.

[sedition]

How much will I miss out on if I go straight into this without playing Bioshock 1 or 2? I have both games, I just don't know if I want to put in the extra 40 hours.

Unrelated.

It wouldn't hurt to at least play the first one to get a feel for the game. The first one was pretty awesome my first time through. The second one, I didn't particularly like too much.
