They agve the game a highly respectable and not all too shocking 9.4 on consoles and actually gave the PC version 9.5. Making it THE version of the game to get it would seem :cool: 

In all seriousness though it was obviously going to be a very high score and not at all surprising

Considering I would probably only be able to run low settings for this game, I still think I better off getting the PS3 version, so whatever still very impressive on all fronts.:P

this game sounds like exactly what the franchise needs. bioshock 1 was the pinnacle of last generation, but 2 felt underwhelming to say the least.

Well if you guys played the previous Bioshock games you would know that it's a trust worthy franchise of quality :) I think this one might have been almost fair ;3

KarateeeChop

Yeah, 2 was a bit underwhelming. But that's because it wasn't made by the same people. Ken Levine and Irrational games made Bioshock, then 2k wanted a sequel, so they had one of their in-house studios make it (2k Marin, I believe). Irrational and Levine had little, if anything, to do with Bioshock 2, and have been working on Infinite since before 2 launched.

well while i never played the first two games (the setting really didn't appeal to me), i know of its quality (i don't live under a rock, after all). i'm still thinking if i should get it now or just wait for when it's cheaper.

I think you would enjoy it. Seems like the kind of game you pick up and really enjoy right to the end. Although IGN did say it feels a little padded in the middle which I am not looking forward to

I'm going to wait for more reviews and people's reactions before I do anything. 

Quite an evolution from the horror of System Shock 2 to this.

I'm not buying mnay games on launch day this year but the ones I am buying are mostly PS3 exclusives, and there are so few retail exclusives(1? lol) coming out on 360 I wanted some games to play for it. I'm also buying GTA V for 360 and with that one mostly to play with Eroica and Animal unless they decide to get PS3 version then I will too.

Umm... I guess I'll pick up a digital copy from Amazon. Bioshock Infinite + XCOM: Enemy Unknown + $30 2K Credit = Win. Will use $30 2K Credit on the Season Pass. LOL

i'm pretty sure i'd enjoy it. i'm mostly interested in the setting and the relationship between booker and elizabeth. thing is, i have a lot of games to play. NEW games, that i've just bought. so it might be wiser to just wait until it's cheaper.

I kind of do regret it now that I found out that how much better the PC version would be out of the box, but I preordered the Song Bird Edition long before I knew that.

I'd say there's probably little point in spending the money to pick up Infinite at full price if you haven't at least played Bioshock 1. I don't think the stories are connected, but Bioshock is just way too good. One of those "must-play" games. And it'll be a great introduction into the style of the Bioshock games. 2 is also a great game, but skippable, if you want to save time. It wasn't made by Irrational, and it shows. The introduction of dual-weilding plasmids and guns was fantastic, though. Totally how it should have been in the first one.

Maybe, you can see how actual gamers react to it too. And that's basically what I wanna see too, I actually dont' care about the gameplay side of things, I know what to expect. I just wanna see the world and walk around

i see it the other way around, TBH. if infinite captivates me enough, i'll give the first one a try. it's bundled with practically every pre-order bonus anyway, and i could get it for a few dimes if i don't buy infinite at launch.

He does have a point though. As a Pc gamer its' pretty sad when multi plats dont look better on PC than they do on 7 year old consoles.
