A little LttP for this thread - been meaning to make a series of threads about games I played and completed like I did before two years ago.
Might as well start with this game - well I did do Persona 4 for the PS2.

------------
Anyways so I finished Bioshock Infinite few weeks ago on Steam/PC. I did start on the game few months ago but it was placed on hiatus due to the fact that I had to leave the country for vacation and my PC behind :(! But I managed to pick up from where I stopped and finished the game.

Have to say this game was a fantastic experience. I first played this game back in 2013 and fell in love with the atmosphere and artstyle in the game. Unfortunately it wouldnt be until two years later that I would get to play this game.

I did play the first one and finished it last year but I didnt play the second game though - at least not yet ;p.

Also - on top of the environment - the story was just amazing and had to be my most favorite aspect in the game.

P.S. Ya'll can thank Infinite for being the game that got me into Bioshock ;p

Pros
+Main protagonist actually has a personality/character compared to the first two Bioshock games
+The buddy system with Elizabeth is a unique and fresh breath of air to the series
+The setting and environment is nicely done - has a mixture of the dark atmosphere that BS1 had and a unique colorful vibrant atmosphere as well unique to the game
+The DLC consists of two episodes which continues the storyline but with a twst and also contains a arena mode type of mini game allowing you to challenge yourself in combat
+The story adds humor and dramatic story telling compared to the previous games
+Voice acting is fantastic and goes well with the storytelling
+Many key elements from the original Bioshock games come back both in the main game and in the DLC

Cons
-In the main campaign you can only carry two weapons at a time however in the DLC you can carry as many like in Bioshock 1
-Not many mini games in Infinite compared to Bioshock 1 except until episode 2 of Burial at Sea DLC
-Difficulty in Bioshock Infinite gun game combat is easier than previous games
-There are some lazy designs in some of the models such as the environment (i.e. Apples in a basket)

Comparison's sake to other games in the series/franchise
Bioshock (PC): 85
Bioshock Infinite (PC): 93

Great game, if a bit flawed in its repetition. The story was a breath of fresh air but I felt like the gameplay overstayed its welcome by always throwing you in a room/small area with a few people to kill over and over again.
Artstyle was phenomenal and it looked really good overall on PC (aside from some low res textures here and there and low polygon count in some things).

It's probably around an 8.8/10 for me.

Hoping for one as well in the future since the publisher did state they were interested in having developing another one :O
