I was nothing short of disappointed with the way that the game is a completely different setting, story, and characters than Bioshock 1 & 2 but so much of the game play and the aesthetics from those get carried over.

You do know that Bioshock Infinite is a prequel right?

flip-mode wrote:Nope. Didn't. I guess I need to research game lore now before playing games. That justification does make me feel better.

I mean it sounded like you liked teh gameplay mechanics, game engine and its effects but not the role of the protagonist... Well, at least that what I got from quick look at those many words :wink:
auxy wrote:Well, I'm not a fan. I loaded the game up and within minutes of hitting "new game" I was frustratedly tapping the Esc key, mouthing "yeah I get it." When I FINALLY get control of my character, I watch this supposedly-realistic protagonist fall some fifteen meters onto a stone surface, impaling herself (right through the kidney!) on a bony spike, which she proceeds to yank out like an action movie protagonist. Now, at this point, I probably should have realized what the tone of the game was going to be. I didn't, though, because the game immediately goes into a lot of melodrama in Lara's behavior (movements and what she says) that's fairly appropriate for someone in such a situation. I thought, "well, maybe that drop wasn't as far as it looked, and maybe that spike didn't quite get her kidney." Okay. And then, not even minutes later -- maybe one minute -- they have you jumping and climbing.
HELLO? CRIPPLING TRUNK INJURY HERE? She should be BLEEDING OUT and SEPTIC, not climbing up onto things. (Not to mention all the dirty water and other filth she wades through throughout the rest of the game, with OPEN WOUNDS.) I wasn't aware Lara had Wolverine's healing factor! But okay, okay, it's just a video game, maybe they're not going for stark realism. Move on, through the cave...

I have been debating over getting this game or wait for the price to drop. Seems like this is my chance to get it with out waiting for a across the board price drop. Is it worth getting, even if I have to hand EA some money in the process? I think this is a one day deal so I am going to have to decide later on today.
