Was bioshock infinite the worst AAA FPS ever made?

[B-Cell_v1legacy]

Hello,

so my friends when i looks into AAA FPS games. theres so many bad ones but not bioshock infinite tier bad. bioshock infinite even got higher reviews than Half life 2 and System shock 2 which is big facepalm worthy.

The game even has worst level deisgn and worst Shooting mechanics in FPS game i have ever seen in very high rated game. I never seen anything good about this game. Game absolutely suck as FPS. "but but its action adventure game.." no its not. its also horrible action game too. if you cant make shooting right in FPS, nor level design whats the point of making FPS game? that is rouge warrior tier game. then theres elizabeth that annoying teenager sidekick. this is easily one of the worst FPS i have ever played in my lifetime. the game is basically tomb raider of FPS genre. even COD and its clone are better than this.

what do you think my friend? are there any worse AAA FPS game than bioshock infinite? discuss.

While I would agree that BI was overrated, it isn't the worst. You have the likes of Warfighter, Killzone 3 and a number of others.

Oh look, B-Cell is engaging in hyperbole.

Anyway, no, it's not. It's not even in the bad category, let alone the 'objectively bad' category.

Obviously the worst FPS is Shadow Warrior. Terrible dialogue, questionably racist, and it can't even get the 'Shooter' part of 'First Person Shooter' right. Swords don't shoot, Flying Wild Pig, you silly bastards.

but warfighter and killzone 3 score no where near bioshock. infact warfighter panned at critics. i do thikn system shock 3 wont score even close to bioshockn infinite which is perfect reason critics reviews hype over quality.

system shock 3 will not release before 2020 i guess. so next year we will be playing Prey and System shock remake

The shooting was functional enough and the story was more interesting that most other FPS games, and that's all I care about really. It was at least more interesting than the endless conveyor belt of gritty modern military shooters that get churned out each year.

But you didn't ask if BI was the most overrated AAA FPS.

Don't go then and immediately do the same -.-"

there is no different between modern military shooter and bioshock infinite. both are utterly scripted cinematic on rail shooters. the difference is bioshock has even worse shooting and gameplay than modern military shooters

I think it's one of the best, actually.

Ken Levine's about to make you his *****.

Bioshock: Infinite is polished and functional unlike a certain other FPS I'm thinking of so no, it's not the worst.

On a gameplay level I'd say it's slightly above the average military shooter because of the plasmids and the sky rail thing. Story is interesting even if it gets a bit up its own arse. Universe is really cool. Plus Burial at Sea fixed a lot of the gameplay issues I had.

It's not one of my favourites but it definitely stands above military shooters and of course it's no Daikatana.

No, the worst AAA FPS is Armourines.

Now I could explain why, but I refuse to put more effort into rationale than the OP did.

Nah, worst AAA shooter ever was the new Doom game.

Most repetitive shit I've ever had the misfortune to encounter.

Walk into room, doors close, shoot some lame easy-mode enemies, doors open. Walk into next room, doors close, shoot some lame easy-mode enemies, doors open. Walk into next room, doors close... etc etc. You could take a fight from the middle of the game and a fight from near the end of the game and I wouldn't be able to tell the fucking difference because every fight was practically identical. Only thing that ever changed was the scenery switching between generic sciencefictionville and generic evil-o-land.

Sweet Jesus it was boring. I was legitimately in danger of falling asleep over my keyboard. But at least I found a skeleton of the Skyrim poster boy with an arrow in his knee LOLOLOLOLOOOOOOL!

I swear the developers themselves even knew it was boring because they give you a weapon that kills everything in the room in one shot and a weapon that insta-kills any single enemy. It's like it was specifically designed for people who can't handle a challenge.

Then to cap it all off they take their game that is supposedly about fast run-and-gun and add an execution mechanic that makes you stand still to watch a kill animation. Turns it into a clumsy, lurching game of stop-and-start. Might as well have added reloading and a cover system while they were at it.

Oh, and not that anyone cares, but the multiplayer was garbage too. Like if you took Halo, cut off all the fun bits and tried to turn the rest into Call of Duty.

Looks like someone's never played Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Also, are you sure you want to throw 'level complexity' stones around inside your glass house? Because I'm pretty sure Shadow Warrior had EXTREMELY linear level design.

Looks like someone's never played Aliens: Colonial Marines.

A:CM is still better then Duke Nuke'em Forever though. For all the deserved criticism that A:CM got, it should be mentioned that its shooting mechanics were very solid and the weapons felt meaty.

Bioshock Infinite was pretty great, imo. Gunplay wasn't amazing but was functional enough. Atmosphere was brilliant, always the series' strong point. Level design wasn't always as straightforward as that pic implies, and was pretty well planned in places. Enjoyed it a lot.

Worst AAA FPS I've played is probably Quake 4.

 

[MysticSlayer]

If you say this, you clearly haven't played any of the recent Call of Duty games (especially the PC ports), either of the post-Airborne Medal of Honor games, any of the forgettable multiplayer-only shooters to release in recent memory (no, that does not include Overwatch), or this little gem

Spoiler

I know BioShock Infinite was a divisive game, but calling it the worst does more to showcase ignorance of the genre than an understanding of the game or genre it is in. Normally I would consider discussing the merits of the game, and there's clearly been a lot of discussion for the last few years about why the game is/isn't good, but the hyperbole here just doesn't deserve that.

i do thikn system shock 3 wont score even close to bioshockn infinite which is perfect reason critics reviews hype over quality.

Is that why Doom scored so high as well?

Care to actually elaborate for once and explain what you mean? Because you seem to do this thing where you throw out outrageous claims and opinions, but always fail to provide any reasoning or facts to back them up.

I'm not sure if you're doing this deliberately just to rile people up, or what.

I don't care at all about the shooting mechanics or how on rails it is as long as those parts function as intended. Gameplay-wise, shooters are utterly interchangeable as far as I am concerned; only the story can make them more or less interesting, and Bioshock Infinite told an interesting story.

Doom scored 7.1 on IGN. Bioshock infinite score 9.7

former is actual FPS latter is not

I am not engaging in hyperbole.

...I'm just lying my ass off.
