GostHacked Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Not sure how far I am along in this game, but I would say that this thing is damn near perfection as an FPS goes. I've never seen anything more surealistic and fantastic as what is portrayed in this game. In the opening moments and when you end up getting to Columbia, I must have spent about 90 minutes looking around the place. The visuals are stunning, the ambiance and soundtrack are incredible. Everything is perfect. We have seen WWII shooters done over and over, same with futuristic shooters, and paranormal ones. But this ... this ... is .. something else altogether. Surreal is a good description, but to me , it seems to just go way beyond it. I think I know what this game is based on in some fashion. But it was only when I got to a certain part of the game (trying not to spoiler anything) that I realized what was going on. Ever watch an old movie from the early 1900's called Metropolis? Yeah... Also heard that it has elements of Ayn Rand's novels in it too. But have not read anything by her to compare. But then there is another element of duality which is playing out quite well and works with the whole concept. I think I am more impressed with it considering I did not know much about it before hand. I had played Bioshock 1 (awesome) and 2 (skippable) and was taken by complete surprise as to what was going to take place in Infinite. The story is quite good, the voice acting is some of the best I have heard in any game. And the visuals just make it that much better. Hats off to the team at Irrational Games. This is a winner and a contender for game of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmy Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm not usually into shooters, but I loved Borderlands and Borderlands 2, and I might give this a shot as well. -k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GostHacked Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Well I managed to finish this up last night. My position still stands, the ending was a bit anti-climactic, but overall fantastic. When I played Halflife 2 I said it was the best movie I ever played. Infinite has edged that out of my top spot. Also Borderlands 2 was pretty good. I did not play 1, as I was thrown off by the cell animated look of things. But after some time, the visuals worked very well and I end up really digging it. If you are into some scary creepy games ........ Amnesia :Dark Descent Condemned: Criminal Origins Hopefully your PC can handle Bioshock Infinite as they really tweaked the Unreal engine and added in some of their own lighting and AI code. Not often do I contemplate and less that I actually have, playing the game again just as I finished, but I think I am going to play through this again.
