Should I buy BioShock Infinite?

BioShock Infinite is a fantastic achievement, there’s no real doubt about that, and as review scores roll in around the 90′s and 100′s, journalists are adamant that this is a product worth putting your money down on. One magazine, Gameplanet, said “BioShock is the most important new intellectual property of this hardware generation.” BioShock is most certainly not the most important new(?) intellectual property of this hardware generation (it uses old technology and hasn’t really revolutionized storytelling in games, it’s merely a good example of it) but it is a highly polished, and incredibly detailed gaming experience.

Personally I find that any game worth 60 dollars isn't worth it, unless it's a collector edition of some kind.

Capt-FuzzyPants4437d ago

If it's worth $60 then how is it not worth it? Your statement contradicts itself.

But anyway, I had no intention of buying it until my friend begged me too. And I'm glad he did. I'm not finished or all that far into it, but the characters seem to be growing into relatable characters that I can care for. It is very well written and presented very well too.

Murad4437d ago

What I meant to say was that if any game that cost a total of 60 dollar isn't worth it. Also, I'm happy for you and stuff, but like I said before,I don't believe any game is worth 60 dollars, the asking price is far too much.

TekoIie4437d ago

How dare you have zero intentions to buy it pre-release!!! You should be like this for EVERY Bioshock game: http://geexels.com/wp-conte...

@Pekolie
Ya.... no. I have better things to do with my time and with my money.

Statix4437d ago (Edited 4437d ago )

I never, EVER pay the full $60 retail price for a game. I can usually find some kind of discount more or less for a game, new or used, if I deal hunt a little bit (at Slickdeals or CAG, for example). I think people that pay the full $60 for any game aren't being smart with their cash (unless they're rich, in which case $60 won't matter too much).

Renting a game to beat it (especially an ~8-hour game) would be smarter even if I can't find a discount on a particular title.

Hell, Crysis 3 and Dead Space 3 only came out recently, and a few weeks later they could be had for $20 to $30.

TekoIie4436d ago

Good for you... But I wasnt actually talking to you which is why I didnt put @Murad at the beginning of my comment to show it was directed at you OR actually reply to your comment rather than someone else's.

"I have better things to do with my time"

You've just made it obvious that you really dont...

Thefreeman0124437d ago

I've redboxed it and beat it in a couple days. Great game, but low relayability so I'd wait till its 25 or so to buy

spektical4437d ago

i'll answer this the way others have answered. If you loved bioshock this game is very much a buy. It is short on the length side and there is no real incentive to play it once you beat it.

Linear hallway shooter, save your money

PhantomTommy4437d ago

Bioshock was a linear hallway shooter. The Half-Life games are linear hallway shooters. These games are all awesome, so is Infinite, buy it.

PS4isKing_824437d ago

If you love great games, yes, yes you should buy it. I'm not a big fps fan myself but bs is an exception. Although if you can't afford it at the moment, I'm sure amazon will have a sale on it soon. They always do. Far cry 3 is already $30 when it was $60 just in November brand new for example.

"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.

Soy668d 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.

gamerz668d 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

Christopher667d ago

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

Soy667d 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.

jznrpg668d ago (Edited 668d 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.

sadraiden667d 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'.
