Loved bioshock infinite, compare it (in a way) with Mass effect 1; Great atmosphere, great story, but with better visuals and gameplay, no open world, more linear than Deus ex. Check the Adam sessler review to get convinced  Its not like Mass effect 1, but from the games you listed it comes the closest. | ||

Well I mean...I see all these people bashing the gameplay in Bioshock Infinite, but the gameplay is far superior to Mass Effect and Skyrim. I really don't understand the hate for Bioshock gameplay, the game is fast and fun as fuck. Sure it lacks strategy, but it's quick and entertaining, not boring and slow like so many "loved" games (DARK SOULS) Play all 3 Bioshocks, they're incredible. | ||

Personally, I'd say it's a game that hasn't aged well - early blocky 3d graphics, overuse of bad (required) mini-games, a story that's part of the faux-philosophy era of writing, and a lot of the weird padding you see from early PS1 games (where devs get giddy with CD memory space) - but obviously it has a following, and if you're a huge fan of the older FF's it's pretty much in the same vein. hasnt aged well? it has beautiful painted backgrounds unique to every scene (unlike modern games) and a ton of perfectly paced video scenes like a movie??? the minigames are short, unique, integrated to the story and not repeated - you steal a motorcycle and get to ride it - you snowboard down a mountainside - you perform a theatre play with a range of interactions - you race on giant chickens in a tournament - you have to combo buttons to slow a runaway train - all of which have ingame consequences????? nobody knows what you are talking about, 'faux-philosophy writing'. maybe you are referring to barret's loss of his hometown and best friend, red's discovery of his father's grave, cid's dashed hope of going into space, yuffie's trials as a young ninja, vincent's pursuit of his past with ghast and hojo, the turks' pursuit of the ancient, rufus' battle against weapon and sacrifice of sector 7, aeris' lost lover and heroic martyrdom, reeve's eventual mutany, tifa's silent struggle with realising cloud's apparent psychosis, and cloud's transcendence as he begins to find and fight for a purpose whilst we discover a frightening, growing insanity lapping at the shores of his mind the fuck is 'padding'? the game is several fold more detailed and filled with unique things than almost any other given game. | ||

Well to be fair he's a fan of well non-linear games ( Deus Ex , Skyrim and even Mass efeect ) where you can straight up ignore your main objectes if you like for ages and still have tons of fun. You can't do that Bioshock Infinite. Depends on how you/he likes to play. And in the exploration sense Bioshock Infinitte , even more so than it's predecessors to be perfectly honest really disapoints . They show you this beatiful world and barely allow to explore any of it. | ||

Yeah, I remember playing the Snowboarding game a lot too. If only the other ones were decent...especially the Submarine one, that was terrible... | ||

Also, if anyone's planning on buying Skyrim Legendary, this offer is still up: For the Americans here, Best Buy has the Elder Scrolls Anthology for $30+tax shipped; if you were planning on buying Skyrim Legendary; this might be an option on the table, since it includes Skyrim + Oblivion + Morrowind on Steam with all the DLC, on top of physical copies of the first four games. (Skyrim is Steamworks, unfortunately, so the disc copy there is just for show.) If you'd like me to help out, my Gamers Club 20% discount applies towards it, so it'd be $24+tax instead. | ||

Ya but are the DLC worth getting too? Because if they are the 13.50 is cheaper on steam than buying game from amazon and dlc from steam. | ||

Also, if anyone's planning on buying Skyrim Legendary, this offer is still up: Dont have a US billing address and I'm paying in SGD rather than USD. SO i dont think I'll save much anyways since the amount i buy with will be converted to US currency. I do however have funds in my steam wallet so that's why I'm considering whether or not to buy the vanilla or the GOTY version if its worth it. | ||

Two of the DLC packs are disposable. Dunwall City Trials are what they sound like - they're challenge maps with no story content. You can safely skip that. The Void Walker's Arsenal are just some ingame items during the campaign - they're nice, but unnecessary. I'd suggest buying the base game first and seeing if you like it. If you do, you can pick up the story DLC separately during a later sale, especially if you wait until past the Christmas sale when they might go down to a lower price point. | ||
