This game's gameplay sucks

[himmatsj]

Most uninspired shooter I played in recent times. Or in fact, in all time! Amazing graphics, so so story and poor gameplay is my rating of the game.

I would agree that the combat is extremely repetitive. The realisation of the world is excellent, but I feel the game is let down greatly in other departments.

I posted a short review that clearly represents how I feel about the game. I agree the world realization is The game's strongest point.

Review text:

Just an OK game. Very overrated I feel, especially looking at the game's metascore. Graphics really are amazing, and the outdoor environments with crowd simulation is the best yet in a game.

However, that's the only thing that stands out for me. Story is so-so. Kinda lazy if you ask me actually. The gameplay meanwhile is just uninspired. Very repetitive, lacks intelligence, and felt like a chore to play all the way through.

Overall, it is not a bad or poor game, just not amazing as the reviews would overwhelmingly suggest. However, if given the choice again, I would not buy this, so it is a Not Recommended verdict from me.

You're still here?
God, you're stubborn. You're sitting here and b-hurting about B:I for about a month already. So much attention for a "mediocre" game you bought to "stress-test your GTX750".

How many "this game is overrated" discussions do we have now?

9001.

I think that finally it´s a shooter, so it could be a little repetitive, but you have more options while fighting than conventional shooters.

[yomegonightcore]

agreed, completely

I liked it

I'm n my 4th playthrough right now, I just don't see where the hate comes from, it's as if you are all describing a totally different game, or this is some big joke that everyone is in on. We ARE talking about Bioshock Infinite right?

Oh man. I'd advise that you stay away from the discussions.

I did a playthrough with as much melee as possible. Columbia's Finest DLC can help a lot with turning Booker into an endless Falcon Punch dispenser. If you think sniping from afar or cover-shooting is boring, try varying your tactics. That's what gear is for.

Also read Robert Brockway's excellent "5 Awesome Flaws in The New 'BioShock' Game"[www.cracked.com]. It adresses some of this thread's complaints very well.

definitely a step back combat and mechanics wise from the previous bioshock games. I don't know what the big deal was.

Well using a keyboard, melee was tedious. Needing to hit V...meh. Maybe it was better with a controller or gaming mouse I don't know. But the default setup surely sucked with respect to melee.

): I liked this game but whatever just opinions

How would you make it better? It's the more enjoyable shooting engine for me.
