Buyers remorse thread?
>I paid full price for this dog garbage

Don't worry OP I fell for it too. Oh how these games have fallen since System Shock 2.

Can someone at least say why this Bioshock is so bad ?
/v/ talks shit about every game in existence, it's just silly.
>>337753059
No RPG elements, really bland shooting, dumb pretentious story, all the cool stuff from trailers was removed.
>>337753059
>wahh, this game is too popular
>liking it will make me look like a sheep
>I'm not a sheep, I make my own rules
>Bioshock Infinite sucks, blunder of the year, amirite?
>look how cool I am now
This
If you haven't noticed /v/ has also said good things about all the bioshock games and every game they talk trash about. Remember /v/ isn't just one person.
>>337753059
I thought the plot and the way the story was told sucked.
>>337751876
I also bought this game and had a thoroughly good time with it, because I enjoy video games.
>>337753059
Gameplay was meh, story was ok, characters were really good. Not 9/10 game, but not as bad as /v/ says it is.
I bought the Collector's Edition of Fallout 4 at full price.
>>337753059
They changed everything about it just watch the early trailers than look at the actual gameplay.
probably my worst videogame purchase
Up to the end of Finkton, the game was actually kind if decent. But that felt like a third if the way into the game when it turned out to be 2/3 through. Emporia sucked and we never really got to see the city as a giant floating city.

Are you implying Ken Levine is a dog?

This anon is right, calling him a dog would be a compliment.

Bought last night for $35. Fucking kill me now.
It was $5 on Star Wars day. It's really mediocre
The E3 demo they showed of it looked great. So it's sad to think they delayed the game to make it worse.
>>337751876
Its another /v/edditor thinks he's a free thinking individual for droning off the hivemind on the current subculture he is on
BioShock infinite was a decent game.
>>337753327
Drones thinking they are unique for confirming to a subcultures idea and never straying from it.
>>337754271
>Finkton
>decent
>alternate universe jumping to find industrial gun manufacturing equipment you've seen before and know you can't transport to people who no longer have any sort of deal with you was "decent"
Just fuck my shit up families
>>337751876
They went full casual pandering because they thought they woudn't score sells otherwise
Is what AAA devs do nowadays, just make it easy and write a basic story, mask it with a lot of cinematics
What makes me wonder, why did they feel the need to make a Bioshock game after so long?
>>337753059
gameplay is atrocious, it was so terrible especially compared to its predecessors
>>337751876
Too bad. I liked it.
This is my biggest regret in gaming
>>337753059
>the gunplay was limited and the guns themselves bland
>you can upgrade the guns, but you can only hold two of them at a time and it's common to run out of ammo during fights and have to pick a different gun from a fallen enemy
>after the midpoint in the story new guns are introduced, they work exactly the same as the old guns except they're not upgraded and are now the majority of the guns dropped by enemies.
>regardless of all that, you carry all plasmids, called vigors, at once
>the vigors all work similarly, you have a couple grenades, a couple stuns and a push
>the story manages to be pretty senseless bullcrap even before the game decides to push alternate universes on you
>Elizabeth acts in ways that don't make sense no matter what angle you look at
>Booker acts in ways that don't make sense even if dying in multiple universes has made him retarded
>the story is incoherent with itself in many moments
>the pacing is killed by meaningless wild-goose chases that are somehow made longer by the protagonists being able to warp between planes of existence.
>I could write a fucking thesis on how goddamn terrible one of these goose chases turns out to be
>it has no reason to be a shooter thematically besides for the fact that Bioshock 1 was a shooter
>despite all its massive flaws it still tries to act smug like it's proud with itself

>guns and plasmids/vigors don't change appearance when they're upgraded
>>337753059
It was fun but not for the same reasons the other Bioshock games were fun
I bought Other M on release day.
>>337757851
they don't? I don't think I ever bothered to upgrade anything besides ammo capacity so I can't remember, but I though weapons got little add-ons to their base model.
It reminds of a moment that stuck with me. When you're walking around in the slums, which exist in the white upper class paradise flying city for some reason, a group of people try to mug you. I had a ton of money left over from never having anything to spend it on so I didn't really care to part with it, and the game had been aiming to make me feel sorry for these people, so I expected a choice to appear between shooting them and handing over some money. They immediately opened fire, hardly scratching my shield, and I had to kill everyone.
I get that the game tries to act cerebral on your choices not mattering with all that "constants and variables hurr" shit it spouts all the time, but it was funny to me how little control I had in what happened in the game.

>>337753327
The story falls apart if you think about it for more than 3 seconds and completely destroys any sense of importance your actions had all game with theparallel universe hopping at the end[/spoilers]
Honestly Columbia as a setting was just shittily made when compared to Rapture. Gameplay elements from Bioshock that worked and made rational sense within the universe of Rapture like Big Daddys, Splicers and Plasmids were tacked onto Infinite (Vigors, George Washington gatling man/big scary glowey man, citizens disappear after 5 minutes and EVERYONE IS POLICE) even though they make no sense in the world of Columbia. The actual gunplay is shit, the level design is atrociously linear and literally has rail segments, and RPG elements were stripped even further. Elizabeth as an NPC character is shit, she's just invisible to enemies, and completely invincible? What? This is all just me, and this list of stuff that bugged me in Infinite isn't exhaustive, but basically it seemed to me like they just didn't give a fuck about making sure gameplay features were justified within the setting in such a story-driven game (assuming a small suspension of disbelief for sci-fi elements themselves). Even the setting itself seems like a misplaced attempt at copying the uniqueness of Bioshock's (failed Utopia, BUT REAL HIGH INSTEAD OF REAL LOW THIS TIME :DDD).
>>337755009
Jedi Academy sequel never:(
>>337758673
Holy shit I'm super retarded and forgot to unspoiler sorry boiz
>>337758576
In the first game guns had addons when you upgraded them like when you upgrade the pistol's capacity it had another cylinder attached to the side of it. Same with the plasmids if you upgraded electro bolt they're would more electricity coming from your hand and it would glow more. I forgot if they do that in bioshock 2 I haven't played it in a long time but they don't do it in infinite.
>>337758673
>Elizabeth as an NPC character is shit, she's just invisible to enemies, and completely invincible
this bothered me a lot considering that the enemies main goal was to get her back. It feels like the dev team just heard that people didn't enjoy escort missions and just made Elizabeth a non-entity so you wouldn't feel any pressure ever. She's a free supply of health and money with a ton of audio cues to feed your brain full of endorphin and make sure nobody hated her, but it just makes her pretty forgettable in the long run
Wasn't the end fight just wave after wave of its shit enemies? Then they try to trick you into thinking you played something interesting with it's whimsical explanation of infinite realities or something.
>>337751876
>I bought the special edition
To be fair it was a pretty OK game that was kinda cool visually I guess but the game play was way too generic. Only two guns, the levels felt almost kinda like arenas as opposed to Bioshock 1's levels which were all confined maps, the audio diaries only focused on main characters instead of main and side characters, the story felt way more "linear" then Bioshock 1 which allowed for more back tracking and exploring, the fucking bird was over hyped as hell. That's just off the top of my head. But visually it is a very nice looking game with a lot of style I just wish they didn't make that the main vocal point of the game.
>>337759675
yep, and they tease you with a songbird fight the entire game and instead you get to control him to attack in context-sensitive areas. Then he dies and the plot just shits all over itself
>>337758764
>No more sequels to the Jedi Knight games
>No KOTOR3
>No Battlefront 3
Just end my life.
>>337759513
Yeah, I get that they didn't want to burden the player with managing a frustrating AI throughout the game, but the way they did it just made her irrelevant and immersion-shattering in gameplay, which is a no-no for me when it comes to story driven single player games like the Bioshock series, especially when she's so integral to the plot.
>>337756074
same, though at least when the game wouldn't connect to a server I was able to get a full refund
It hurts /v/, sc2013 could have been good. Could. If the cities were bigger and you could terraform regions then it could have been good. The pain will probably never go away.
>>337755708
The story was shit, but could have been recovered before Daisy died. I mean it was weak, but still passable.
>>337754573
Why the fuck would you ever buy this garbage?
