It solves everything (most levels are going back and forth through the area in different time periods), and also helps ease along the ruthlessly shoehorned ending. Let's face it, time travel was both the protagonist and antagonist here. Slate is one of the more interesting characters but doesn't feel fully fleshed out. Both Daisy Fitzroy and Jeremiah Fink are shadowbox characters that bleed out of the story as quickly as they pop in. Let's get the big one out of the way, the resolutions to each storyline. And the main reason for the spoilers tag. I would have preferred a little more interaction, hence replayability. You can't change the overall outcome of anything, although watching the colorful, Independence Day style utopia burn slowly is captivating in its own way. There are maybe three moments in the entire game where you feel this sort of weight behind your actions, and they are as superfluous as they are dull. We were told that there would be moments where you would have to interact with citizens on the street, such as pointing a gun at a potential mugger to send him scrambling, or intervening in a local execution (both of which are shown in the same demo). We were supposedly going to 'watch the city fall apart before us'. I want to be as harsh as possible when I say that this was a blatant lie. Expectation #2: Watch the city tear itself apart (pre-Rapture) This is the big one.

It never feels like their main selling point is really taken to its full potential. This fell short on both accounts, the only undulating architecture in the game appearing during the first half, and after you're solidly captivated by the world, these stellar sights give way to more mundane gameplay (street shootouts and interior combat). Later, Ken Levine commented on the instablity of the city, how the tech team had made it pulse with life, and hinted that you'd be able to topple the city around you. After the first demo that was released (which is never shown in the game), we see one of the massive, orange balloons tethered to the corner of a belltower deflate suddenly and the massive structure starts to pivot towards the ground, the bell flying loose from its moorings only to come grinding to a stop inches away from your feet, the cobblestones buckling under its weight and shooting off in every direction. Expectation #1: An actual floating city, complete with physics. No, you could only experience this bittersweet regret if you had watched, in eager anticipation, all of Ken Levine's interviews, only to realize you had just witnessed the biggest cop out in gaming history. What left a sour taste in my mouth wasn't anything you can experience in the game itself. But all of the above are personal opinions and design choices. I thought the tone of the game world would have felt more immersive with the lack of a HUD, much like the first gameplay demo Irrational Games released several years ago. There is no menu interaction to slow the pacing and you're always on the move. Some have complained about the lack of RPG elements (with the exception of gun and vigor upgrades), such as inventory or map screen. While you can tweak it a bit, the shooter formula has reached its apex, and while Bioshock Infinite does improve superficially on both the vigors and the guns, especially in the latter category (gunfire and recoil more realistic), it's really what it doesn't do that the game needed more of. There is this mass illusion in the game industry that each game has mechanics slightly more polished than its predecessors. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Looks amazing on a good gaming pc! Easily one of the best games of 2013! … Expand But if you play things other than call of duty then get this! you wont be dissapointed. It isnt the most serious shooter in the world. If you like bioshock, heck if you love video games get this! The only thing I would say that is apparant in some negative reviews is that if you are a HARDCORE shooter fan that only enjoys photorealistic graphics and games that are similar to call of duty then this may not be for you. You are always finding new abilities and new ways of doing things. The graphics are fantastic(they are not photorealistic, they are highly stylized). If you like bioshock, heck if you love video games get this! The only thing I would say that is apparant in some negative reviews is that if you are a HARDCORE This game is absolutley stellar.
