>Right wingers/chuds hate it because it depicts white supremacy, slavery and Christian theocracy as bad and working hand in hand.
>Leftists/tankies hate it because it depicts violent resistance to oppression as bad and tries to paint a moral equivalency between the two.
>Normal people hate it because it dumbs down everything that people loved about the first two and failed to live up to what was promised in the promotion while also retconning the story of the first one.

This is a game that pleases absolutely no one. What the fuck was Levine thinking?

It pleased me, as it was the first Bioshock I played

'I hate Bioshock 2 how dare they make a better game than me!' Then he shat his pants in toddler rage.

>>738684646
Thats genuinely horrible for you.

>>738684341
I don't think people cared about anything that came out of this game except for Elizabeth and her breasts.

It's a lot easier to beat down the family unit when you represent them as Andrew Ryan and Sophia Lamb than when you try to attack the abstract concept of societal authority itself.

>>738684341
>Christian theocracy
It’s closer to a Mormon cult than any actual “theocracy”
>>
>>738684341
I like it. The visuals are pretty and the sounds are 10/10.
>>
>>738685093
did people really like sophia lamb when 2 came out
>hello andrew ryan here i forgot to mention there's ALSO communist parasites here led by some feminist who completely BTFOs me at every occasion.
just seems like an asspull, they should've make her some random nobody who rose up after he died.

>>738684341
Midwits, NPCs, journos and cocaine addicts were the ones who adored that game.
>>
>>738684341
This is the definition of the overrated game.
gets 94 metacritic and considered by most people today including journalists to be 80-82 material.

Major step back in gameplay. 2 weapon limit LOL
Also proved that Ken Levine is a hack now. Jew slop just like Bioshock 1 but that game was done better than Infinite.

Pinkos that i see talk about it are even more retarded and think it's literally impossible a revolution could turn bloodthirsty and authoritarian despite many historical examples of such

>>738684341
I liked it. It had a nice mood and the gunplay was fun.

>Levine was riding high from Bioshock 1 after critics who never touched System Shock thought it was revolutionary. He thought he was going to make history with the sequel and was going wild with big ideas about how he'd do it.

>Ken's philosophy with Bioshock 1 was "Streamline everything from SS2." This was done by removing things entirely. Remove menus, remove inventory, reduce the numbers of controls, make things simpler at the cost of removing depth. Now it can be played on consoles and endear itself to people repelled by complexity. Bio1 succeeded, so he doubled down with Infinite.

>Development was a complete mess. They couldn't decide what they wanted, things they wanted conflicted, things couldn't be done if they wanted a console release. Promotional material came out with content that was later removed. The story got scrapped and rewritten until the end result was a clumsy patchwork of its different versions. Most worldbuilding never made the final cut. The team spent so long getting pulled in different directions that they never got around to refining the bits they eventually went with.

>The game is already late by this point and Ken's too far up his own ass to see it's a just mess of ideas with some pretty graphics. It's got racism and multiverses, it's got to be deep!

And he got away with it for years because an army of pretentious idiots fellated it.

I think Levine was just trying to warn us what the inevitable outcome of the jews pushing diversity would be

User ratings for it are universally positive across every platform and site

didnt she rise up as things were rapidly falling apart? it seemed plausible enough at the time

WAIT A MINUTE...

THAT CARD!

>>738686524
makes sense. the sky rail thing seemed like it was intended to play a much bigger part
>>
>>738685270
Nothing to suggest that she was communist

>>738684706
There's zero evidence to prove that Levine hates Bioshock 2. He literally praised it.
>>
>>738684341
Levine was trying to depict the flaws of political extremes
Both sides are equally bad and we all must be willing to live with each other’s prejudices to keep a society well balanced.
>>
>>738685224
What the fuck are you talking about
t. Mormon
>>
>>738688926
Not him, but the evidence is that Bioshock's 2 entire plot and the existence of Infinite alongside Burial at Sea can't co-exist at all.
>>
>>738689759
I'd say he's referring to the close-knit polygamist sects out in utah and shit, like the FLDS.

Even the devs were sick of the game by the time 2K gave 6 months to force out a cobbled-together shooter last minute and celebrated the fact that they were simply done with it (DLC aside). The development was absolutely tumultuous and full of Levine's inane bitching, staff replacements and directionless decision-making right down to forgetting they were making a X360/PS3/toaster game with their high-end PC's.

It sucks because they really did squander such a neat setting forever, probably one of the worst cases of concept-to-final disparities in gayming comparable to Destiny's.

Columbia was based and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't

I played all 3 and this one was great. 1 was my favorite because of nostalgia and Rapture was such a cool setting. But the story in 3 was cooler.
>>
I was talking about Bioshock 1 with a coworker and he ended up playing it and loving it.
I recommended trying Infinite, giving him a warning that it's a divisive game online.
He came back to me and was like "Wow, I never expected it to reference this, this and this!"
He's a big history buff, so I figured he would love the historical fiction in this game. He's picking up on references I'll never understand.

The game's lead artist resigned mid-development after Ken Levine cut a huge chunk of a shantytown level out of the game despite the level being given the okay and worked on for a year. The development of the game was a huge mess and it was all in the whim of one man with mood swings.
