Why did people hate this game? Yes, the lighthouse puzzle is ridiculous and the veggies are flat, but that's only like 0,001% of the game.

the powers were a lot more fun than the original
I also quite like the level with Slate, all of his dialogue is quite kino
and of course the game is also just all around beautiful and atmospheric

It's probably one of the worst games ever made if you know the whole development backstory. All that is left is a hollow shooter with a gimped story that got shat out quickly because of Ken's incompetence.

Bioshock Infinite has a bad story that thinks it's smart, and it tries to lecture you like it's smart, when in fact it's one of the dumbest things ever made
This game is the equivalent of sitting down for downy's TED Talk

i dont think that is ever implied, quite the opposite really, as the social commentary could be interpreted as explicitly christian its self as it revolves around religious hypocrisy which was a major aspect of Christs teachings
the entire point of Columbia was that it did not operate anywhere near christian morality despite all of the pretense, which is probably honestly one of the most poignant and important critiques it could have made from a christian perspective

thats something you just completely made up, and there is literally an entire portion of the game where the villain of that part is someone trying to murder innocent columbians, which is portratyed as a bad thing

It's not unlikely though. In a more realistic scenario, they would import white ethnicities they'd consider "lesser tier" like the Irish or slavs. It would be whites fighting other whites. In the final product, the fighting parties are more visually distinct from each other.

Bioshock was an immersive sim. Bioshock Infinite was a Halo clone. The fact a game that takes place in a flying city with ziplines everywhere is more linear than a game that takes place in a submarine is fucking insane.

It is indeed thought provoking. I've spent probably hours thinking about why the devs decided to discard so much of what made Bioshock 1/2's gameplay so good in exchange for a lmao2guns dudebro shooter wannabe with not-plasmids so shitty they might as well not exist.

Infinite is the black sheep of the trilogy. You would find 1&2 significantly different, arguably the highlight of the entire series is the DLC for 2. Really you should have played 1&2 then stopped

its been too long to say since i played 2 but it is better than the original from a game play perspective
in 1 the plasmids were much more boring as most of them are shit like basic projectile but firball/ ice ball/lightning bold" etc theres no fun shit like the blink attack from infinite you also can only have like 2 at a time, with eh caveat being that you have all the guns
the other thing is that most the enemies are melee and in your face all the time and it gets kinda tedious fast
theres far too much hacking minigame stuff
that being said the presentation and atmosphere is still amazing an
