Great game but not as good as Bioshock 1.

ShadesMoolah4040d ago (Edited 4040d ago )

I think it would be monumental for a sequel to top the BioShock original, so long as it's close to as good as the original, with all the refinements over the years incorporated, then we should have a truly special title. I have still yet to fire Infinite up as well!

More importantly however, it better be shit loads better than BioShock 2; I consider that gaming's equivilant to film's Unviersal Soldier sequels.

Bioshock 1 is far superior.

It had/has better atmosphere. Just walking around and seeing the Big Daddies and Little Sisters alone makes it better.

Infinite feels more like a generic shooter, it has boring enemies and none of that special something that made the BioShock 1 memorable.

There is too much(as usual)hyperbole from the gaming "journalists" Way too much praise. I was let down.

I just replayed Bioshock 1, 2 times, once on Survivor.
After going through Infinite 4 times, once on Hard, 4 on 1999, I have to give it up to Irrational.

To me, Bioshock: Infinite is the new bar for FPS games that are riding a storyline as a backbone.

Graphics, sound, characters, story.
All well done in my eyes and after getting all the achievements and fully understanding the story... my time with Infinite has to come to an end.
In about 6 months to a year, I will revisit the experience and appreciate this definition of well-crafted interactive art. :)

Top 10 Rarest Xbox 360 Games That Are Worth a Fortune

"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.

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.

gamerz273d 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

Christopher272d ago

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

Soy272d 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.

jznrpg273d ago (Edited 273d 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.

sadraiden272d 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'.
