So, I just finished Bioshock Infinite. On Hard mode! Yay! [View all]
Why can't more games be like this? Why can't more titles take themselves this seriously, and have this 'mature' a feel and presentation?
The story... my god, the story! No other game has ever held my attention to the plot and sucked me right into the world presented within as this one did. It's easily, easily a cinema-quality tale, with laughter, sadness, hope, fear, and all the sorts of characters that make a story worth telling, and worth listening to. And Elizabeth is the best game sidekick/companion ever, and.... and.... and.... etc., & etc., honorifics and praise, with bells on....
I have to say, Ken Levine is a genius. This is, without a doubt in my mind, the best total package I've ever seen from any game ever.
If you have a PC powerful enough to play this at anything resembling a quality experience, even if you have to dial it back to like 1366x768 in fullscreen/windowed to get the highest quality visuals... do yourself a favor and get this title. DON'T play it on a console, for the love of all that is decent and holy, not unless you have no other option. You'll miss the polish and detail that sets this one a notch above the rest.
But PLAY IT! However you have to, play Bioshock Infinite. It's just THAT good.
