What do you think of the BioShock series?

The first game was of course the best. The 2nd was good but wasn’t nearly the quality of 1. Infinite was fine as it’s own game, but didn’t feel much like Bioshock. Burial at sea was far better than the base game and I’d consider it the best Bioshock content since 1. Although I don’t know, I may just like burial at sea because of this scene and they brought back Fontaine.

I replayed Infinite recently and it's really quite good until the absolutely retarded ending. I wondered if it was as retarded as I thought it was at release and yes, it is.

I didn't hate the ending too much. I understand why people do, but its enjoyable if you turn your brain off. I really liked the antebellum south steampunk setting a lot.

Poor man's System Shock 2 ngl. For years I huffed and puffed at the oldfags who've been saying this since 2007. Then I played SS2, like two years ago. They were absolutley right lol.

The voice acting is so strong that it almost carries it but not quite for me. Comstock and the Lutesce twins are also up there with the best bits of the game. It could have been so much more but that's Ken Levine for you.

The first one was pretty decent...for about three quarters of the game. The last portion after the WYK reveal is a total slog that adds absolutely nothing to the story and is only there to needlessly extend the runtime.

The second one is a guilty pleasure of mine. I am not sure if the first game was even intended to have a sequel, since the gameplay in 2 is pretty damn derivative (Although being able to use weapons and plasmids at the same time is a really welcome addition), and especially by how they had to stretch/retcon the original plot to accommodate this one:

"Hey guys, let's introduce this character that was seemingly pivotal to Rapture but was never mentioned even in passing in BS1 (Sure, Ryan memoryholed her, but it's not like everybody else was giving a damn), who somehow managed to survive almost a full decade on Rapture's equivalent of Alcatraz, completely cut off from the world, on a city that was literally falling apart just a year after the civil war, with zero life support infrastructure, who also managed to capture girls on the surface and bring them to Rapture (But not get the fuck out of there). Also, since the previous game's theme was "Individualism bad", let's go with "Colectivism bad" for this game's theme"

And even in spite of this idiocy, the game manages to be pretty enjoyable. The moral choices and the different endings are decently done, and the gameplay stays good to the very end. Also, Minerva's Den was a pretty nice DLC, far better than any DLC from 1.

Bioshock Infinite is absolute cancer. The gameplay is a complete downgrade, and the story is the equivalent of Ken Levine masturbating in your face for 20 hours. It even managed to taint the first game by association (i.e Burial Under the Sea).
