As a fan of games like Mass Effect, Deus Ex and Skyrim, would it be worth it for me to get Bioshock: Infinite at this price?

Its different. You don't have real choices or a Open-World. Bioshock: Infinite is very linear with mediocre Gameplay. But the story is great. 10$ is clearly worth it.

If you've played FF7 before, the steam version offers nothing new. If you can get the older PC version cheaper, then it's the exact same game.

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 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.

I also spent a ridiculous amount of time snowboarding. Loved the ghost feature where my brother and I would compete for best times.

Skyrim is immune to your puny gameplay bashing, as it can be modded into all kinds of directions, from Mount and Bladeish combat with timing and 2 hit kills on both sides to korean mmo style combat.

Well yeah. I've definitely modded the shit outta my Skyrim.

Are the DLCs for Dishonored recommended? Or should the game itself for $7.50 enough?

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.

Buy the game for $5 instead.

Also, if anyone's planning on buying Skyrim Legendary, this offer is still up:

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.
