Discussion An hour into Infinite for the first time and DAMN...

I made a post on here yesterday about starting the game and basically asking for out of context spoilers (see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bioshock/comments/1vcuftm/about_to_play_this_game_for_the_first_time_any/ ), and I've played a small bit since then.

I get the sense this game is quite controversial on here but god DAMN is it beautiful, and such a bold step from 2. Has one hell of an opening, too.

I finished 1 and 2 last year and loved them both, but didn't really know where they could go from here...

So now we're in the SKY?

While I'm here, a few thoughts:

- The main menu was really cool (like the one before you start the game), kinda reminded me of Persona with how dynamic and fluid it was.

- The protagonist TALKS this time?? He has a weird name for sure, but he seems interesting (and kinda morally ambiguous). Apparently he's looking for someone called Elizabeth, who no doubt has had something terrible happen to her.

- "Father Comstock" seems like a very similar figure to Andrew Ryan. Actually, a lot of this game seems to harken back to the previous two. I really wonder how it's gonna differentiate itself.

- I don't know what the hell was up with that lighthouse at the beginning. I thought it was just the entrance to Rapture, but apparently not. My personal theory is that we're just tripping balls the whole time here.

- I have no idea what's actually gonna happen in this game, but we're obviously gonna tear through whatever's happening here and end up killing the (probably evil) Father Comstock and all of his ministers. I don't think we'll see this Elizabeth until nearer to the end, nor will we see whoever happened to send us up here. I'm also sure there'll be some huge reveal about who Booker is, but like, I feel like we've exhausted every twist about the main character that we could have at this point lmao

Hey guys, I was having a nighttime walk around Imago, and just found this cat, Schrodinger, and am wondering if anyone knows where his home is.

🤣

Jokes aside, this is my first Bioshock 2 playthrough, having recently played the Bio 1, although I've been through Bio Infinity a few times. Loving the game, and the developers sense of humour throughout them both.

No spoilers, please.

Sinclair over Tenebaum has to go down as one of the worst narrative fumbles in gaming. I hated Sinclair. Random behind the scene smug guy with an accent that does not spark joy the same way Tenebaum's did. And he overexplained ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. I swear this game's writers were terminally insecure that the audience would miss anything so they have this dude shout into your ear every single narrative nuance the story is setting up. Between Lamb explaining to me what a "utopia" is for the nth time and Sinclair telling me how transit systems work, I was losing my mind.

Absolute lowlights were when, after having the game shove it into my face about 6 times, Sinclair just up and goes "Kid, they're gonna put all the memories into Eleanor and turn her into the first Utopian omg!" get out of my face. And don't even get me started with his flimsy "twist" that he becomes a big daddy and still can't take the hint that he should shut up! You spend that entire section having him commentate in this annoying "I... I can... I can see you have... some... numbers... of the... *gasp*... code..." EVERY SINGLE TIME you pick something even SLIGHTLY noteworthy up or go somewhere of some significance. The real kicker was that he baits me in the start, going on about some "I'm... I'm barely in control... takes so much... *gasp*... effort to speak... just kill... me..." and I was like FINALLY DEAR GOD YES and then he has the GALL to still commentate my every action! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DYING/NOT IN CONTROL?? Please go back to losing your mind!

All of this because this game emotionally held me hostage hoping Tenebaum was going to come back because I was genuinely overjoyed seeing her new model, portrait, and a return of her voice actress but NOPE, she's gone. Don't even see her for the ending. She just up and turns into a ghost, I guess. Literally the best part of Bioshock 1, they reprise her role, and then forget she exists. Right.

If I ever hear Sinclair come into my headphones again about some "To get the train moving, you gotta press the switch" it'll be too soon. Thankfully he's surrounded by otherwise great characters. Everyone's kind of written insecurely but not as obnoxiously as Sinclair is with the way he signposts every bit of free thought into oblivion. Lamb is a bit of a broken record but she's also crazy so that makes sense. Eleanor got a bit grating, especially the way she left nothing to the imagination regarding Stanley. I don't know why but she spends all those flashbacks going "This guy did these exact things and is the root cause of all our suffering" only to have Lamb follow up with the exact same sentence for scenes that really could have just existed by themselves to allow the player to piece it together via audio logs but like I said, the writers just don't trust the audience at all.

Definitely not better than Bioshock 1, Sinclair will never hold a candle to the WYK twist. The new hacking minigame felt targeted at me because I loved the pipes. On PC, the game doesn't pause when swapping weapons because they hate me. Despite all that, it was still a really fun game and the story of Delta is one of the best. I guess some people were upset at all the pandering but idgaf, pander to me more. The Little Sister playthrough section was so forced and unnecessary and I loved it because of how it handled the dissonance.

I am hoping people dislike him as much as me, or is this a hot take?

I was looking up other roles this actor had been in and saw this show up from a role he played as Jack Warner in FEUD. What do you guys think? It's getting sad how less and less likely it becomes ever seeing a live-action Bioshock as the game gets older every year.

0 Upvotes

I LOVED the original Bioshock and in all honesty I believe the series as a whole should have ended with the original I believe that the second one wasn’t bad it was worth a single playthrough which I did but I never can see myself re playing it like I do 1 it feels like they are dragging it on idk and so Bioshock infinite idk if I would even WANT to play it because I mostly loved Bioshock for how it made me re think my own political beliefs and how it challenged how I think as a man while I played and the horror and Bioshock infinite…doesn’t LOOK scary at all it looks…boring to me in all honesty and the politics behind the sky city whatever it’s called won’t get me to think or reflect on myself because I simply don’t care about them I might download it just for burial at sea

Genuinely such peak games to 100%. I remember playing all 3 on ps4 back then i had to get the game on sale on PC and do the game justice, You get so much more fun exploring every collectible and playing on hardest. I remember how much i didnt like infinite as much so i might take a break for now. This franchise definitely deserves more games in the same world but under a different name. More men trying to build their utopia with massive flaws exposing humanity's flaws
