The 8 Dumbest Things About BioShock Infinite

IGN - BioShock Infinite's superbly crafted city of Columbia - rife with expertly written characters and one of the most intricately woven stories this medium has ever seen - is a place of sheer genius. Except for when it makes no sense. Here are the eight stupidest things we noticed while playing the otherwise brilliant BioShock Infinite that stuck out like missing pinky fingers.

The only thing dumb here is this article...

Maybe it is all just memories of Bookers trip? Or the twins did everything to help him. By the 123rd trip, shit got really crazy...lol

HebrewHammer4022d ago

It's not really an article, just satire.

Conzul4022d ago (Edited 4022d ago )

Agree.
I love everything about Bioshock Infinite, but this article is spot on. That stuff was pretty dumb. But it's lighthearted, ya know? They gave it a 9.4 already, there's no way they're gonna start bashing it.

HebrewHammer4022d ago

Haha right? I actually thought those images were pretty humorous, particularly because some of them had never even occurred to me.

grailly4022d ago

I thought this piece was bad and stupid because it just doesn't make sense...

1)ok, fine
2)ok, fine
3)ennemies use powers to
4)what does a flying city have to do with paying for hot dogs?
5)there are no crows in vending machines
6)yes, that's one of the themes of the game...
7)the cita is not made out of baloons
8) booker isn't always on fire...

I'm not saying I refuse any criticism on BSI, I criticize it quite a lot myself. But if you're trying to make a joke, it should have at least some sense to it.

dedicatedtogamers4022d ago (Edited 4022d ago )

The game has received way too much praise, to be honest, when it suffers from some real flaws. It's good to poke fun, even if you love the game.

Besides, I already played Bioshock 3. It was called "Dishonored". Bioshock Infinite feels like a spin-off in comparison.

HammadTheBeast4022d ago

I don't think we played the same game. Bioshock Infinite completely dominated Dishonored in terms of story and quality. Dishonored actually felt like pre-Infinite.

Hydralysk4022d ago (Edited 4022d ago )

Dishonored was Bioshock Infinite if it focused on the mechanics instead of the story.

Dishonored's gameplay was great, but it's story was pretty forgettable. Infinte's story was great, but it's gameplay was pretty forgettable.

Kurt Russell4022d ago

I was disappointed with Infinite, the game was good, the story excellent... but for what ever reason I didn't care for the cast of characters like I did the Bioshock the 1st. I will certainly try out Dishonored after reading your comment though :D

The only thing that I would nitpick about the game are the moments when Elizabeth reacts to corpses with horror and disgust. But then, a second later she is leaning on a desk right next to the body like it's nothing at all. That did kind of took me out of the experience a little bit. Aside from that though the game is great and I loved every minute of it.

Not only this article is lame, but it's also mostly inaccurate.

brodychet4022d ago

Fishing for hits. Save your time people, just pictures of the game with lame captions.

For example: Picture of Elizabeth (Hates when you kill people, gives you ammo) --- Even though she accepts the fact that you kill people after the first combat encounter '^'

soniqstylz4022d ago

And that it's not built on balloons (well, it is, but that's not how the city floats).

RedSoakedSponge4022d ago

im not saying youre wrong in the slightest or anything, but why are they there then? :/ confusing lol

soniqstylz4022d ago

"..The most prominent of these technologies is the system of quantum mechanics that allows Columbia to remain aloft. Although most buildings feature balloons, propellers, and reactors, these devices are only ancillary to Columbia's flight. Rosalind Lutece discovered a method of indefinitely suspending atomic particles in mid-air, the "Lutece Field", which her colleagues lauded as "quantum levitation". Lutece reasoned that if an atom could be suspended, larger objects such as buildings could as well. Columbia is the end result of Lutece's work...."

"And yes, we know it's a video game at the end of the day. Relax and have some fun". Did anybody read the article and not just look at the pics, chill people, its just a fun article lol, found it quite funny lol and yes I enjoyed the game

Top 10 Rarest Xbox 360 Games That Are Worth a Fortune

Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”

"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"

1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.

Soy264d ago

I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.

gamerz264d ago

Me too. Here's the best I can do:

El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76

Christopher263d ago

Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.

Soy263d ago

It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.

jznrpg264d ago (Edited 264d ago )

Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.

sadraiden263d ago

Fallout 3 and Bioshock Infinite are the rarest games of all time.

8 Best Games Set In A Multiverse

One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.

However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.

While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.
