Bioshock: Infinite

at first you're not really sure what to expect, the whimsical and silly enviorments and olde time british people, the writing and dialogue...you're like...is this shit? idk yet...

then after an hour or two you realize the writing and narrative is trying WAY TOO FUCKING HARD to be 2deep4u and "really makes you think" the nonsensical plot and writing, the multiverse paradoxical universes, all that shit is basically really lame and dull as fuck. not to mention the whole time you have a woman sidekick fapbait character who pretty much only exists so young 20 something beta males can self-insert themselves into the shitty bad universe and feel like they're with their cute waifu the whole time. fuck this game is really lame.

the combat and graphics are OK. thats it. the graphics are WAY TOO OVERSATURATED making the whole game look like a childrens drawing, but there is some decent lighting and shaders here and there. the combat is your standard modern fare, hitboxes, ironsights, crouch behind cover, multiple enemy types, you have powers you can use  but i didnt really give a shit i just wanted to shoot guns. the powers felt underwhelming and not that cool, even while upgraded.

basically its just really annoying how you get 5 minutes of combat, all in between walking up to pointless shit and spamming F to get resources (corpses, loot etc) walking up to environment objects and hitting F then waiting 20-40 seconds each time as some shitty dialogue or animation plays, over and over and over. everything FREQUENTLY gets broken up into dialogue moments, where you just stand there like a prick listening to the "SO DEEP MAKES YOU THINK" writing and it just makes me cringe. the game just trys so hard to be philosophical and preachy it falls flat on its ass and its just a pretentious trite piece of shit. it gets annoying.

its apparently like a 15 hour game, but i beat it in 6 hours. lol? not sure what the fuck everyone else did, but i just wanted to shoot shit...

theres really not much great about this game, its not awful because the general gameplay and combat is sort of fun, but the overall plot/narrative/preachy bad shit that keeps breaking up the gameplay really is quite sickening.

by the way the city in the sky setting is 'infinitely' worse and less enjoyable than the underwater city of bioshock 1 & 2. just saying. WAY LESS ATMOSPHERIC.

6.0/10
