It's OK. It's competent. Once you get used to some of the eyecandy it's nothing that special.

Story of many modern AAA games, to be honest. A lot of them have (what used to be) mid-table playabilty at best.

i think you are right, there is a lack of playability. shooting same character models with same gun and same map. its mindless. hell i played terraria for 100+ hours

The game stand or falls entirely on your relationship to Elizabeth. If you're not invested emotionally, it's a better than average shooter with a decent plot, but not as good as bioshock 1.

If you are, it's one of the best games ever.

Well... personally idk about that yet... but I do keep telling her to change clothes.

Personaly i think it's one of the best games i played for a while. Not concerning the gameplay - i quite dislike games where enemys and oneself can be hit by a lot of projectiles - but the story is just awesome. Especialy the end i liked. It took me a bit less than 20 hours for the main campaign.
But it had flaws for me. I didnt play on for some weeks but the beginning impressed me so i gave it a try and played on.
Maybe you're just saturated with gaming at all. That's normal when they are saitisfying enough, especially when getting older* when priorities begin to change (in the end of the second life-decade ppl begin to change the point-of view from hedonism to pragmatism and gaming makes no pragmatic sense [Thats what already Aristoteles recognized concerning friendship]).
Give it time and it might come back.

Another possibility is that you are kind of ill. You can observe that on higher animals too: (mental) sickness, or insecurity takes the will to play; healthy adults (eg dogs and cats) like to play theyr whole life but not all day anymore.

* It is even normal for children. When i was young i didnt play sega/snes all day even if i could. rather just one or two hours or on rainy days. And that's not because the games were worse (but most not as addicting, cause not as causual but thats not the main reason). It is rather natural. Teenagers are special cases, beeing much more depended to feelings and deciting only with them.

Did you try Bioshock 1 ?

I bought the tripple pack, the first minutes were quiete impressive and I was looking for the story but the shooting gameplay itself was quiete a let down after 3 hours already. Reminds more on a too easy colorful lollipop shooter and everywhere drops ammo or whatever. Will get back to Infinite after I finished Bioshock first.

Anyway, I started playing Bioshock 1 and I was a lot more hooked, because the amtosphere is just better and more exciting, the AI is more dangerous and interesting, you can interact with the game more i.e. throwing around stuff with telekinese- melteing ice - setting oil on the ground on fire. Overall just more gameplay options.

Hacking is big in Bioshack aswell, either secret areas/safes or robots and turrets.

The problem with Infinite is replay value, wich is fairly low. Sure, people talk about 1999 mode, but I played and... it's boring.
I was expecting new enemies and player tactics, new ways of using powers and weapons and instead what you've got is soaking bullet enemies with OP weapons and at the same time, weak player powers and weapons.

I mean, WTF people? This is the actual notion of "difficulty"?

One thing I liked about Bioshock 1 and 2 is that you can chose about using weapons, powers or a combination of the two. I played the two Bioshock trying this, only using weapons, only using powers and mixing the two, you can play the way you want.
Infinite on the other hand has a very restricted type of gameplay: you have to use powers, is extremely difficult beat the game only using weapons for example.

On the other hand the story is fairly good in my opinion, I really love it.

Bioshock 1 and 2 are verging on unplayable on modern OS's. Even if you manage do stop them from crashing, the audio bugs just put me right off.

Infinite gave me no issues and was the first Bioshock game I played. Having played through 1 I do miss the fact that you can keep more than 2 guns with you and the Plasmid/Vigour system has been dumbed down a a bit since 1. Also missed the hacking.

As a shooter though (and I'll likey get shot down for this) the gameplay in Bio 1 at least felt a lot more tedious to me. Most of the splicers go down in one shot (on normal at least).

The characterisation in Infinite is much better too. I enjoy the interaction with Liz, and like the guy above said, that makes or breaks the game for the player really.

I replayed Infinity many times. In my opinion it has very good gameplay, therefore big replayability.

It has one of the best stories and great gameplay in my opinon. Your lost for not playing it.

Your opinion.

I originally played the game on the PS3 about two years ago, and boy did the graphics look terrible in comparison to the PC version. I didn't find the game too appealing either, to be honest. But my roommate suggested that it's a really good game and that I should give it a try. Took me a while to complete it because I simply wasn't interested.

Well now, I just completed a game the second time, but on the PC. I must say that I instantly found myself hooked to the game as soon as I sat down and took my time with it. I guess maybe the graphical quality, perhaps the smoothness of the gameplay soaked me in? I also noticed that 2nd time around, the story seemed to make a little more sense than on my first playthrough on the PS3. Maybe that's another reason why I found myself heavily interested than before.

Opposite for me. I don't think I used a single vigor in this game (unless the story forced me to). I found plasmids to be much more useful.

Bioshock 1 was boring for me. I have forced myself to beat the game. And now I love this game and will play it again with pleasure. Not because it is fun and addictive, but because it was a great experience for me. And Bioshock Infinite is not exception. So, yeah, this game is boring. :)
