Which Bioshock game is your favorite? Give reasons for your answer,

Bioshock Infinite.

I loved bioshock 1. Bioshock 2 was fun, gameplay wise, but infinite is just on a level of its own. I think Bioshock 1 is alot of peoples favorites because it was pretty innovative at the time. I can definitely understand that. However I do believe infinite surpasses it in many ways. Its late or I would go into more detail.

You may need many late nights to discuss (argue) that here cos many, including myself, would strongly disagree. In fact I would go so far as to say Infinite is a Bioshock game in name only.
Not that it's a bad game, just way way way overated.
Like you I'm not going to go into detail, but mainly becuase I'm too lazy.

Both Bioshock 1 and 2 are great games and B2 doesnt get the attention is deserves. Infinite though has got to be one of the most overrated games I have played in a long time, its a shooter trying to masquerade itself to be something deeper than it really is. I remember looking at the E3 verticle slices and was so excited so I didnt look at anything else until it came out, then I played it and was so let down.

There's a good video comparison.

Bioshock 2 in my opinion is the best. The story was grasping, there were plenty of things to do, and it's impossible to say it's not fun to play if you love the pumping action and constant ongoing of the story. Now I can't say all of that is not in Infinite, but yet there was a whole lot more in Bioshock 2. Infinite made up for it through directly buyable upgrades and over-the-top vigors being used. Some elements from Bioshock 2 were even included in infinite, yet, I believe they could have added just a little bit more to the game.

Bioshock is a beatiful game, who gave us an incredible city under the sea. Bioshock 2 is a very underrated game, their combat mechanics are incredible good and his story is really good too.
Infinite have a very good history and a gorgeus world, but their combat mechanis wasn´t good, maybe it´s because they showed us some battles or actions that never could be done in the final version.
But even with this, Infinite shine thanks to Elizabeth, a character that at the end you really care about.

bioshock 2 has long been my favourite of the franchise, although i contend that the first game is certainly more innovative and, in terms of the development of gaming as a medium, important. bs2 has an extra bit of polish, however, and is an excellent continuation of rapture's lore. the map design is also some of the best ive seen in gaming yet.

infinite was disapointing on many levels and i don't really consider it a full bioshock game. it lacks everything stylistically that made the first games so incredible for me - columbia is devoid of the life and sense of functionality that rapture had, and the "social issues" presented (racism, rebellion, class warfare..) are so superficially analyzed it almost enters the realm of parody. even important characters - fitzroy, comstock, the luteces - were little more than personified plot devices. i think the last 20 minutes were incredible, and i enjoyed discussion surrounding the game afterwards, but that alone cannot save the first 10 hours of mediocrity. i rarely like to call something overhyped, but i think it fits here.

I like each of the Bioshock games for different reasons. If you are to compare them all in the end I believe you could actually do a proper comparison with 1 & 2 since they have the same overall gamestyle and location; Infinite simply changed things.
My favorite though is the first one. The plot twist that is shown at the near end of the game, the how it is shown and the breadcrumbs that lead to it (the recordings) I believe are just awesome.
It is a tough fight with Infinite since Elizabeth is a very well made character that just grows on you... maybe if Infinite hadn't been the guided story that it is it would've been my favorite. That's where many people simply hit a wall with Infinite and say it is an overhyped game simply because it is not what they were expecting and refusing to see how good it actually is.

I like the original Bioshock. Bioshock 2 had slightly better gameplay mechanics but the plot was lacking abit compared to the first IMO. I can't really comment on Infinite as I haven't played enough of it yet.

I would draw a line between the first two and Infinite. They take place in different "worlds".

I believe the first Bioshock is the best for me - when it came out I really liked it as I found it very new, very innovative. Also, at some point I felt it was better to play a common human being as opposed to the Big Daddy in the sequel. I know it was not a real Big Daddy, but still... Anyways, the 2nd was also really good as there were some improvements, mainly gameplay-wise (wireless hacking - > darts) and the plasmids were better if upgraded.

Infinite was very different... on the other hand, I clearly saw it was made by the same people (same attention to details). I missed the splicers and the horror elements that came along with the first two and storywise I saw they tried to be a bit more innovative but by the end of the game I had more questions than answers.

As much as I love the original BioShock I think BioShock 2 is my favourite. This is based on gameplay feeling alone. How I feel playing the game.
I agree that Infinite is a BioShock game by name only. It doesn't feel like BioShock at all, it rather feels more like Dishonored. Overall I liked Infinite. As a stand-alone game I thought it was really good. As a BioShock game I thought it was kind of lacking. The only thing I thoroughly enjoyed was the extreme plot twist right at the end that I did not see coming.

infinite's gameplay is very poor, but the story is nice and that didn't kept me from sleeping in some moments. i played the 1st one after 5 years it was made, so it didn't make effect to me. bioshock 2 is the best, because there is the HARMONY of STORY, GAMEPLAY and THE MOST WELL DESIGNED WORLD.

Bioshock > Bioshock 2 > Infinite

If I was allowed to choose from any of the Shock series.

System Shock 2 > Repeat above

Bioshock Infinite was just.... oh my gosh, i couldn't play it, it was just so bad. Bioshock 1 was just soooooo impacting to me, and is one of my favorite games EVER. same with 2! but Infinite... i know it was different, but Bioshock's meaning originates in the underwater metropolis, not a sky city somehow gone missing for some reason that makes no sense, and is also incredibly religious and is totally just... alright. like, nothing wrong was really going on till you, some mischievous 31 Y/O guy with an oversexualized 17 Y/O girl try to run away, then you just practically destroy everything that you walk by. Bioshock 1/2 was emotional, brilliant, insane, scary, intimidating in EVERY SINGLE way, and just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ AWESOME, but Infinite had... none of that. and lastly, i could never aim at anyone in Infinite! it felt like i was playing COD Advance Warfare, but some people would be flying all over the place, others stand still and twiddle there ♥♥♥♥♥ because the NPCs were ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ horrendous in Infinite. everything about Infinite was bad, but if you can aim at the enemies, deal with the glitches, and understand this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ story, props, high five, but i will never understand what drugs you took to play Infinite.

Love the game's concept of the original Bioshock, Love it even more with the new Mechanic (Plasmids in left hand and weapons in right), And love it even more when you can use these powers (Plasmids and Vigors) in a fast-paced Combat in Bioshock Infinite. For the story... I love Bioshock Infinite, for the Horror-survival vibe... i love the Original Bioshock... But i haven't finished Bioshock 2 and still in progress now.
