Bioshock Infinite
« on: 2015-02-20, 16:02:43 »
HOLY SWEET MOTHER IN HEAVEN!!!
This game blew my mind.

I've played many great games in my time, but none has affected me nearly as much as Bioshock Infinite. Everything from the characters and story, to the setting and music. The graphics are incredible, the gameplay is immersive and fast paced (it is extremely linear though), the subtle themes, motifs, and details are mentally stimulating, the ending will have you in tears and begging for more. It's definitely a game that requires at minimum 3 play-throughs for a full experience.

Now go and play it!

I enjoyed this one quite a lot as well. It's one of the few that creates a completely new, bizarre, and yet strangely believable world in a very immersive way. It's definitely worth a play-through.

I definitely think it looks a lot brighter and less creepy than the first two Bioshocks.
Ill have to try it out.

It was a lot of fun; I found the voice-acting to be particularly superb.  The repartee between the two main characters was not only natural feeling and believable, but I found myself actually paying more attention to the discourse than some of the more eye-catching parts of the in-game world.  I usually don't go in for that period, but it was interesting.  The story was engaging, although mostly unrelated to the previous installments in the game series.  Nice twists and turns in the story too- even if it felt like I was being led to the conclusion.  Well, it is linear, as Baron de Magnan said.  All in all, a great game deserving of its high scores.  :)
