No, there's far worse out there (such as, and I'm not being facetious here, Shadow Warrior). But I'll admit that I vastly preferred Bioshock 1 & 2 over Infinite. It just felt too goofy.
Was bioshock infinite the worst AAA FPS ever made?

How can you make a topic like this when Daikatana, Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens Colonial Marines all happened?

Seriously, though. Around here, hating popular games, especially if they're first person shooters, is par for the course. With how portions of this community react you'd think games like Halo, Half-Life, and Call of Duty were not only the most overrated garbage to ever grace the industry but also creatively bankrupt banes on human existence.
There is also a difference between "Things I like" and "Things that are objectively good".Kibeth41 said:
I didn't like it. I'd go into great detail, but I should have gone to bed 3 hours ago so I'll just post a couple of analyses that I like.
I'm really hoping he's completely serious about it all. Somehow, it would just be far less entertaining if he made these threads, and the flurry of snark and vitriol they invariably provoke, on purpose.MysticSlayer said:
As for BioShock Infinite, I think it's alright. It's a good-looking game with some interesting and fun story beats and characters, and some serviceable gameplay and mechanics. Unfortunately, it also suffers from some disjointedness between all these parts, making it IMO the weakest in the entire Shock family.
Still far from the worst AAA fps ever though. Anyone claiming that hasn't played many.
Sorry, but you are either blatantly trolling via a clickbait, or saw three or four games at most, or absolutely unable to make actual logical conclusions. If you did not like BI it's OK, everyone has an opinion based on whatever reasons, but seriously, worst AAA FPS? Like, seriously?B-Cell said: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.
I'm wondering if that's partly (or perhaps solely) the reason why he makes these threads.ZombieProof said:
I'm still waiting for an answer to this, btw.SolidState said:
I don't want to put words in someone's mouth, but simply going by past experiences with the OP here, I think the general 'reasoning' behind his views here can probably be boiled down to "ironsights = bad, m'kay."SolidState said:
It would certainly explain why he thinks BI and modern military shooters have anything remotely in common. (Seriously, find me a modern military shooter where I can fire murderous crows from my wrist.)
Short answer, no.
Long answer, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
There are a few reasons for that. First and foremost, it is, in fact, a first person game in which you shoot people. It accomplishes that goal right off the bat. Second, it is, for the most part, technically sound. I don't know how many glitches and bugs you found whist playing the game, but I found little to no real bugs or glitches, so it's a functional game. That's another one. Third, I found it to be incredibly fun as well. I liked the gunplay and the powers were pretty cool as well, even if they were just all a different form of "kill that guy over there." Fourth, and probably the most important, calling something objectively the worst thing ever is an inherently false statement, as nothing can be objectively subjective. So, let's round this all up. It's truthful in its gameplay, it's functional, I found it fun, and you're attempting to label it with a logical paradox. But, what am I saying? B-Cell is going to ignore this and continue to justify to themself exactly what they think regardless of what anyone says.

You're not gonna want to hear this, but Infinite is my favorite game in the Bioshock series by far.
Come at me bro

Shhhhh, don't tell him that. You'll shatter the glass house. As per worst, no, no not even close. Over rated, sure. But it functionally works. As much as I hate Battlefront, it works.Johnny Novgorod said:
Have you seen the latest Homefront man? That game barely fucking runs, let alone has anything worth calling gameplay. Bioshock Infinite was fantastic. While the actual shooting and powers were simply refined versions of the original BIoshock, Infinite had a story and world that was really unique for FPS these days.
But maybe you prefer generic Military Shooter Duty #3147.

In all seriousness though, I liked Infinite a lot too. Way more then the majority of people here. It was, admittedly, flawed, but what it did do well, it did really well. The world was visually impressive (A welcome reprieve from the interesting, but claustrophobic Rapture), the characters were more 'in your face,' and I actually liked Booker, Comstock, and Elizabeth a lot, and felt invested. The gameplay wasn't nearly as deep or balanced as Bioshock, but it was serviceable and enjoyable enough.
Still, wouldn't say it was my favorite. But I still felt like it was a worthwhile romp.
At this point, as a consequence of the nigh endless whining about the shooting mechanics and pedantic hand-wringing over quantum mechanics, Bioshock Infinite might actually be one of the more UNDERRATED games of the past several years.
In a genre that includes stuff like Daikatana, Duke Nukem Forever, Haze, Darkest of Days, Colonial Marines and The History Channel game, to think it is one of the worst is laughable.
You are the kid that says the worst/best movie ever is the last one you saw, aren't you?

Careful, using the 't' word is the reason my post got a warning (no really that was the entire reason).RedRockRun said:
Apparently my use of that one word is more damaging to the Escapist forums/ community than what B-Cell's doing; I'm so terribly sorry for apparently letting everyone down.
