If a person has such a good experience with a game that he feels it is easily the best game he has ever played, he is free to state his opinion. Why would you assume he gets paid for it?


Who gets paid to make posts on forums anyways? lol....

Where in that post did I say people were getting paid to make posts? Sorry, try again. Which, btw I was still completely correct with the points I made about IPL . Anyways, pm me if you want to continue this ridiculous debate because I just know you would love to get me banned again for derailing threads.

Clearly I couldn't have just finished the game and really enjoyed it, as it offers something I have not experienced before. Clearly all of the people giving it such great reviews are all paid.

I don't think most people would call it 'a mediocre shooter', but you're entitled to your opinion. And don't worry, I'm not mad, but both of your posts do come off as insulting. Perhaps it is just due to a lack of understanding of the language on your part.

Mediocre is your opinion, not objective fact. By insinuating he was somehow paid to put his opinion on TeamLiquid, you're basically saying you think his opinion is wrong and no honest person could possibly have it. That's probably why he is "mad, son," even though his response is just as hostile as your original post, which just makes you a U MAD BRO troll.

There was no point to your original post other than to rile him up. If you don't like the game, give us something more than "YOU LIKED IT? LOLOL" in subtle troll-speak.

On-topic: I'm only about 2 hours in, but enjoying it so far. Reminds me of the fun I had playing the original Bioshock in 2008, but I'm not sure (yet) why people are putting it head and shoulders above that game aside from the obvious differences between a 2013 game and a 2008 game. It's possible that will change as I finish it up though.

Finished in 14 hours on hard, and will most likely give 1999 difficulty a go.

Loved it to bits, some fights can get a little messy, personally I hate the handyman fights. Otherwise the combat gameplay is pretty smooth and has an awesome feel, but that's hardly why I'd praise the game.

I was very hessitant with buying at fullprice but after reading a few reviews I got suckered in, not a single regret however.

wow now the shitstorm is coming.... ^^....i just had a suspicion and asked a question. because sadly forums are full of such hidden and false "advertisment". i never said its a bad game...just nothing special. and yeah thats my personal oppinion, but even if my oppinion would be something like "a great game" i would have asked the same question to him.
and you all act now like he just said "i like this game" ....short reminder it was "easily the best game ever". and i just thought its suspicious....nothing more

If it's mediocre then what other fps are you playing lately that are so good? CoD? Ken Levine games offer a level of maturity and sophistication that is severely lacking from the gaming industry as a whole. Gliding around a floating city that is bursting at the seams with creativity is a lot of fun on its own, but there is an attention to detail and very high quality writing that is rarely ever seen in this medium.

The Gameplay feels just really bad compared to BioShock 1. The artdesign and graphics are pretty awesome, but I hate the Shooter-Mechanics.

yeah accuse me of being a cod kiddie or like im a guy who doesnt know shit about shooters....very nice of you....well lately im not playing any shooters at least i only give em a try for 1-2 hours. and because of what? because most of them are mediocre stuff....nothing really special like the half-life series or the first bioshock (because the first was awesome and something "new"). the only shooter who really got me latley was far cry 3 (but only the story line, everything around that was boring shit)...i hope that was enough random information for you....

There was no point to your original post other than to rile him up. If you don't like the game, give us something more than "YOU LIKED IT? LOLOL" in subtle troll-speak.

On-topic: I'm only about 2 hours in, but enjoying it so far. Reminds me of the fun I had playing the original Bioshock in 2008, but I'm not sure (yet) why people are putting it head and shoulders above that game aside from the obvious differences between a 2013 game and a 2008 game. It's possible that will change as I finish it up though.

wow now the shitstorm is coming.... ^^....i just had a suspicion and asked a question. because sadly forums are full of such hidden and false "advertisment". i never said its a bad game...just nothing special. and yeah thats my personal oppinion, but even if my oppinion would be something like "a great game" i would have asked the same question to him.
and you all act now like he just said "i like this game" ....short reminder it was "easily the best game ever". and i just thought its suspicious....nothing more


If it's mediocre then what other fps are you playing lately that are so good? CoD? Ken Levine games offer a level of maturity and sophistication that is severely lacking from the gaming industry as a whole. Gliding around a floating city that is bursting at the seams with creativity is a lot of fun on its own, but there is an attention to detail and very high quality writing that is rarely ever seen in this medium.


There's a level of maturity and sophistication missing from shooters. Other elements of the games industry are doing just fine.

If anything Bioshock Infinite just compounds this. The elements which don't involve shooting are interesting and relatively sophisticated. However you're then tasked with trouncing through an interesting place, breaking into private property and massacring its inhabitants as part of the 'shooter' element.

In Bioshock this wasn't as much of an issue, the inhabitants were homicidal maniacs, here they are just racist, or at least implied on a societal scale, that says nothing of the individuals you kill with astonishing regularity. Infinite is different, sure there is an altercation at the start, but that just feels crowbarred in and you 'defending' yourself by killing 2 guards in a very brutal fashion gives perfectly reasonable justification for everyone else to want you dead at that point, so beyond that you're killing people who are perfectly justified in attacking you (especially when you break onto their property waving a gun), you're the bad guy at this point.

Now I'm only a short way through, so maybe there is some kind revaluation which somehow contextualises everything but at the moment I feel that the game is crippled by its shooter elements, not in any mechanical sense, but in terms of story, atmosphere and especially 'sophistication'.

Really for me this game completely fails to make shooters sophisticated. Spec Ops added a layer of sophistication to shooters, but it did so by pointing out the absurdity of what you were doing in the game, Bioshock just tries to pretend like this isn't the case.

It's still a great game though, I just don't really understand why people think its some kind of shining star in terms of depth atmosphere and story, it could've been, but it shoots itself in the foot and most people just want to ignore this. Each to their own I suppose.

anyone know if the cage vs dove choice makes a difference? Everyone I know has picked cage so far...

There are some references to the cage towards the end, I'm wondering if the dove ended up any different


It does not matter as all the choices lead to the same end.
