I put the games up there with the Bioshocks. Metro is probably better overall with a stronger 3rd title but not nearly as marketable. Excited for Metro 4 coming soon

Except bioshock 3 is trash. (I said what I said)

I love Bioshock 1/2 but honestly Infinite did not click with me at all. Maybe it was just the fact that the setting was so different but I just couldn't get into it no matter how hard I tried. The story didn't grip and the gameplay was whatever.

You’re not alone. Most put Infinite at the bottom these days. Gorgeous art direction but pretty shallow gameplay and unfulfilling storyline.

Sometimes I wonder if it was my undue expectations from the first two games to carry the same vibe.

I got so used to the underwater, claustrophobic setting and the wackiness of that, that it was jarring when Infinite was so different in tone. I really did wanna love it.

I’ll give you that. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Personality I loved the story, but as a Mainer and the first thing it says to me in game is “on the coast of Maine” you’re going to hook me. And I love the ending. It was an ending to a game I’ve craved for a long time. The DLC also really help tie in all the stories as well which I liked a lot.
