1, 2, Minerva's Den, Infinite, and Burial at Sea

1 and Minerva's Den were my favorites. Burial at Sea redeemed Infinite slightly in my book.

What's wrong with Infinite? Is it a story issue or a gameplay one

Only thing I haven't played is Minerva's Den. Looking forward to playing that when I replay the trilogy. Heard tons of good things.

Really the only thing you have to do is boot up the first game, watch the intro, go down the elevator to rapture, then turn the game off because you've already gotten the maximum possible amount of enjoyment and don't play any others.

I think Infinite's great. Story's pretty great and gameplay's still pretty dang good.

I don't like to just poo poo opinions, but Infinite REALLY seems like one of those games that just became cool to hate on.

A lot of stuff from the trailers did not make it into the game. Story kinda got too convoluted near the end.

I personally didn't enjoy the shift in tone from Rapture to Columbia. They took away the weapon-wheel from BioShock 1 and 2 and left you with having to choose between weapons more often. Vigors weren't as interesting to me as plasmids, though the Vigor combos were definitely cool to work with. The removal of real choice in the game, not even having the Big Daddy/Little Sister dynamic, also hurt it imo.

I'm not saying that Infinite is a bad game. It's a really good game. It just doesn't really feel like a BioShock to me until Burial at Sea returns to Rapture. To me, BioShock is synonymous with that city.

Yes. I've also memorized dialogues of Andrew Ryan and Atlas.

Really enjoyed Infinite, but 1 and 2 are the kind of games where I play for a bit and think its cool, but never really get around to picking back up again.

I'll probably get around to playing them at some point.

I bought the games like 2 years ago but never around playing it so it's part of my backlog >_>

Maybe I should try those games after I beat DOOM

Infinite is just worse in every way (except graphics and character interaction) than the first two.

In gameplay Infinite had 2 weapon corridor gameplay and took away saves, health packs on person, meaningful choices, hacking, randomized gear compared to the tonics you can plan out, and vigors that are nowhere near as fun as plasmids.
The story begins with high potential even after it gets into alternate dimensions and timelines which are always hard for stories to do right but then it quickly forgets all the conflicts it originally has in favor of focusing on Booker's relationship with Elizabeth and then cops out and just throws it all away unresolved so they could have a the whole game never happened ending (which Burial at Sea then retcons anyway.) It also has the "universe revolves around the protaganist" mentality such that Booker's coin flips are somehow always the same yet an entire man's wife and life circumstances can be changed with no problem.

Like, it was still an okish romp the first time through but looking back it really was ridiculous.

I'm trying, but maybe I'm too late to the party. it doesn't seem like this groundbreaking game when you play it for the first time in 2020, because so many of the elements have been stolen from other games now.

There must be a clever name for this phenomenon. Like the Superman effect or something. "Superman is a boring superhero, because he was the first superhero".
