Bioshock Infinite

Bulletstorm is great all around up until the big dino battle, then it's just killing time to the end. Much like Bioshock, someone told them the game was too short, and the last third is pure filler, where even the story turns into a shitshow.

It's like games are regressing, even for console games.

But we have to get the game out of the way to make room for the Art.

I beat this in two days when I rented it, and a few weeks later my brother gave it to me for a birthday gift. I opened it that night since he wanted to see what the game was about but I haven't touched it since. I'm not thrilled with the story (and like Bioshock 1, it's only as interesting as your first time through), so I'm wondering if the 1999 mode and finding all the non-essential nonsense makes the tedious combat better? Or should I just get my $20 pittance from selling it?

Find a local mom and pop to trade it in, they usually give you really good prices (even if it's in-store credit).

The combat is so standard that I don't think 1999 will do a damn thing for it. I wrestled with picking between medium just to plow through or 1999 to hopefully make it more interesting, but after going with medium I think I made the right choice because I would be super bored playing through any of those areas more than once.

I should maybe also get back to it one of these days.
