New Bioshock doesn't even come close to the quality of the first one imo.

I'm hearing mixed reviews of Bioshock.
If it's close to no.1 then it must be good.

infinite has the most insane ending of any game i have ever played. if you actually understand it that is.

Didn't care much for the story, wasn't nearly as gripping as the first one to me.
I don't get why they got rid of that creepy atmosphere and darkness. That was what got me to play the first two,
so Infinite is just not for me.

i understand what you mean and to an extent i agree, but honestly the ending of the story makes up for the 'creepy' aspect, i wont post spoilers but it tripped me out and made me quite disoriented for a while. nothing will beat the first one tho

there is one major thing with the ending that not many people pick up on tho
(MEGA SPOILER ALERT, DO NOT READ BELOW IF YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED)
(MEGA SPOILER ALERT, DO NOT READ BELOW IF YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED)
basically the bit at the end where you go to rapture, remember in number one only jack (the player) and andrew ryan (founder of rapture) can use the bathyscapes while the city is on lockdown, it is bound to their dna so it is impossible for anyone else to use it...
yet in bioshock infinite you use the bathyscape... while i was playing i didnt realise how significant this was until afterwards..
it leads me to believe that the events of bioshock 1 and the events of bioshock infinite are exactly the same but in alternate universes.
rapture = colombia
jack ryan = booker dewitt
little sisters = elizabeth
plasmids = vigors
EVE = salts
etc
theres an article about this ill link if anyone wants

Nice so far. Liking the graphics and, of course, the choice of radio stations. Hand-to-hand combat is great, but I do feel the game isn't explaining some things properly in regards to story progression and it's almost too easy.
i believe you can change the difficulty levels
This game is way too fucking short!!! Enjoyed the game immensely, but for a sandbox game it lacks unique quests and there's practically no introduction to the other parts of the map. Fighting is mega fulfilling, but I want more of everything!
Now I'm onto Way of the Samurai 3, the third in a series of games I'm a fan of. On first impressions it doesn't look like a current gen game at all, I could still shave my fucking face on some of the smoother parts of these character graphics...

I'm 10 hours into Ni no Kuni and blown away, if you like Studio Ghibli films and you are into deep JRPG's, I highly recommend this game.

I think they had some actual non cosmetic DLC for Sleeping Dogs, if you want something kinda like it check out the Yakuza series on PS2/PS3, think they're up to 5 now though it hasn't made it to a western release.

I only played the first one for like 2 hours, but I honestly don't know how you could prefer it... reasoning?
