Hi - are the 2 related in terms of story progression? or are they pretty separate games?

 

will i miss out on anything in Bioshock: Infinite if I don't finish Bioshock 2?

 

Thanks :)

Not at all.

Different worlds, different characters, different story.

Bioshock 1& 2 stories have nothing to do with Infinity. No go play Infinity as it is an amazin game (much much better than 2).

2 is the best ! Infinite is not only a bad Bioshock game, its a bad game in general.

Not necessary. Diving right into Infinite will be just fine. It's also very superior to Bioshock 2. You'll have fun with it.

^ Superior in what way ? If you say gameplay then I know you're full of it.

Nope but I can see why some might think so.

If Irrational really were going for a completely different world then they probably shouldn't have included 'BioShock' in the title. Also it claims not to take place in the same world despite Rapture and the lighthouse both making an appearance.

^ Maybe its best not to mention that last part. Its better if people find out that part by themselves.

You can play Infinite, but don't get the upcoming DLC until you play the first two
