The Last of Us came out in 2013... Grand Theft Auto V came out in 2013.. Two masterpieces.... but my favorite game of 2013 will always remain Bioshock Infinite :)
Dominique Deguire only good games,I wish the MCC wouldn't have been broken at launch,and the shit games are carrying over into 2015(I'm looking at you Battlefield Hardline)
When I started bioshock infinite I started the game, and went, woah this game is dark as shit! And then I reached Columbia wow beautiful! First fight, this game is violent as shit! Met Elizabeth, noooo, will this be like Ashleigh in re4, I hated Ashleigh. But no fucking awesome game!
Smeghammer: that was pretty much how I felt...except when the alternate dimensions came in and I saw Rapture briefly I was like ":O" and jizzed in my pants
"okay Ashleigh, stay here I'm gonna go grab that jewel" "Okay Leon" "Okay, I'm gonna.. I'm gonna go just real quick" "I'll be okay Leon" Leon takes one step back: Ashleigh: "Leon help!"
I really wish that Jeremy could talk about Bioshock infinite and the DLC's. I think those ending deserve a bit of a review or a talk. They were pretty awesome.
Andrew Silverman just played the entire trilogy and All DLC’s of Bioshock in order. I personally enjoyed BAS quite a lot. What did you find unlikable about it?
Really wish Jeremy did a spoiler talk for this and for both Burial at Sea episodes. I just got around the Bioshock series this year, and finished Burial at Sea last month, and that ending almost made me cry.
Chris Cartwright she reminded me a lot of Rapunzel,from the Tangled you know ? the girl is stuck in a tower you go there you save her,she wants to live in the real world cause she spent all her life in that damn tower. she's kind,cute seems stupid but she's really smart.and at one point she scares the hell out of the main character by showing her power. xD anyway,bioshock infinite is by far the best game I've ever played. *---*
***** By examination of the internet, and how it works, i see that YOU are the child, as told by your name, the way you type, and the fact that you comment on random comments that have absolutely NOTHING to do with you.
*SPOILER WARNING RESPONSE* I think you're misinterpreting. The time in which Booker is in Columbia in the game is the first time you successfully break the cycle of rescuing Elizabeth. After that, you die in the universe where you accepted the baptism and became Comstock which lead to Booker in that universe dying as well as all other versions of Comstock and Elizabeth. At the end of the game you return to a universe where Comstock never interfered and that is Booker with baby Anna.
Jeremy, I hope you have played the Infinite DLC... It will blow your mind. I finished it and cried. It was such a beautiful end to the Bioshock trilogy and makes the whole thing a timey-wimey, parallel universe filled, creepy toned, action packed, jaw dropping circle
Bioshock infinite is the first ever story to have portrayed time travel accurately, it takes in to account of the grandpa time travel theory and comes up with an alternative with out flaw, also it ties in with the story line so well, the gameplay was above average, but I couldn't get too into it because I just wanted to keep progressing in the story, an absolute beautiful game
Lol, no it doesn't. Elizabeth killing Booker didn't do shit. If she really wanted to make a difference, she should've killed one of the Lutece's parents before they were born, and BTW the "grandpa time travel theory" is not a theory, it's a paradox, and you having a paradox in a story is just dumb.
I don't know if I'd go that far, but I would say it may be the best game I've played this generation. And it definitely has the best story I've ever seen in a video game. Seriously, when I got to the end, my brain felt like it had melted and was dripping out of my ears and onto the floor.
I finished the Bioshock Collection for the first time; I will easily say that Bioshock Infinite is my favorite of the bunch and is definitely one of my favorite games of all time.
While it's natural to compare bioshock to bioshock infinite I think that neither is better or worse. It's like comparing apples to oranges. They both are so different and unique from one another!
While the first Bioshock was a horror game, Infinite is a pulpy adventure game that tells a dark, adult fairy tale. (I'm basically just echoing Adam Sessler & Yahtzee here, but I think they're right)
I admire this game because while it is a step down from the other two Bioshock games in some respects it makes up for it by having two well written characters with great chemistry and one of the best endings in video game history. Whether or not you enjoy those last two elements will most likely determine if you'll enjoy this game and I think that's actually a first in the video game industry.
It's strange the game takes one step forward yet two steps backwards for me, Bioshock 1 although an amazing game, as a shooter wasn't all that great, but what it lacked in finesse as a shooter it made up for in the variety and depth of as gameplay, the psuedo RPG aspect's really fleshed out the game, Bioshock infinite kind of strips it all the way and just focuses on shooting, the problem is the gun-play wasn't too hot, shootouts became incredibly tedious at times, especially wit the ghost'a and the handyman
hey man, with October and covid going on rn. it would be cool to hear your thoughts on the ending (spoiler review) and even ur opinion on the Burial at Sea DLC since they dropped the remasters and how the story plays out in the end. would be super cool to hear ur thoughts on it. :)
Hey jeremy, you are my favorite youtuber/ person who reviews stuff. That being said, I would love for you to make a video on your thoughts on the ending because I love hearing you talk because of the fact that youre pretty entertaining to watch and listen to. I know youre busy but if you make that video, it will make whatever day I see that video. Thank you from a loyal fan
I dunno, i wasn't surprised. If anything it felt like i was left out half-way. It went from quite logical to a total clusterfuck for me. The game was crazy fun tho and very addicting. Loved it all the way. But yeah, the ending. Didn't really grab me. :S Also; Elizabeth - Sidekick/Escortee of the year, every year.
USUVA Aivar It's almost like a mix of Inception (which I felt was merely "ok") and Donnie Darko (fantastic movie, imo). But Bioshock:Infinite, now here's the kicker, actually feels *more satisfying* than both combined. Bioshock:Infinite shows that there is still hope for AAA games.
This is my favorite game of all time. Everything just clicked for me. A lot of people are going to disagree. But I freaking love this game! The combat was great, The story was excellent and the characters are interesting and memorable. The only I don't like is that you can clip through Elizabeth when she hides in combat, but it seems like that is just there to stop her from ever getting in your way.
For me, it was the fact that I couldn't save anywhere, anytime I wanted. That's kinda annoying in this day and age. Aside from that, I pretty much agree with everything you said. Gameplay felt a bit Tarantino-ish to me, which made me feel like a hero in one of his movies (DJango Unchained or Inglorious Basterds). The story felt like an adult fairy tale. I loved everything in this game :)
I will agree with you on the story and the characters, if it's one thing any bioshock game can do well, it's those two aspects. I love the first bioshock btw :). However; the combat got stale real fast, no enemy variety really, and it was a little too easy. But, that's all my opinion. I respect yours just as much.
Yea well there are definitely a few things like that that were annoying, but unfortunately necessary. Like in the begining it makes sense that nobody shoots elizabeth because they are all ordered not to because she is so valuable. But later on in the revolution it kinda took me out of it because white girls and boys were being shot all over the place.
trequor That's true. Look at it this way, though. You weren't allowed (in Bioshock 1) to get the Little Sisters unless you've taken out their Big Daddy's. Same with Infinite. You gotta get through Booker to get to Elizabeth :)
Paradox Acres except that they didnt make elizabeth impervius to anything but ADAM draining. The little sisters can't be harmed because they heal wolverine style and you dont have a chance to drain them without the big daddy shoving his drill up your bum. Whereas in infinite booker just takes off onto some ledge and the baddies just run right by elizabeth. I suppose it could be argued that they ignore her because she ignores them and go to take out the guy fighting them
One of the only games I ever played all the way through in one sitting...yes, Mr. Jahns, I too loved Infinite for all the reasons you mentioned. I will say this much: there is one sequence in this game where I felt ground down into dust emotionally because of the sheer cosmic injustice of what I saw. What made it worse was that I didn't get the chance to do anything about it before it happened. Then...the sequence ends and I felt an...incredible amount of relief, like waking up from a nightmare. And THAT was just one sequence in this game.
How bioshock infinite starts: bring us the girl and wipe away the debt how it ends: but Booker is reallly Comstock from another universe and Elizabeth is really your daughter who lost a pinky that makes her open tears in the fabric of space time while the Lutece twins are really the same person and the black people get their rights!
I just beat this game, like, about an hour ago. It's 6 In the morning here, I'm hella fucking tired, but that ending, melted my BRAIN. complete fucking whiplash GOTDAMN. I can't wait to play the dlc, holy SHIT. A classic.
It's definitely a contender for my favourite game of all time, everything about the experience of the game was phenomenal and you can really see the care put into it down to every minor detail, for instance the song booker & Elizabeth play was actually their voice actors singing and playing the guitar. It's something truly unique and I finished it just wanting more and the ending truly blew me away, even though I was trying to 2nd-guess it the entire way through, I never even got close.
Just finished this game now and holy shit was it amazing! Game of the year (2013)! Wow. Just speechless. Still up for a spoiler review Jeremy? Play it again and make one!
Maybe he got scared by all the angry people online who love to hate this game? Or maybe he was too busy, at the time. Either way, it's a bit too late. (Although I'd *love* for him to do a Spoiler video, even if it's 1 year too late)
I agree. The only thing that i think saved GTA 5's ass was that it was very expansive. I didn't enjoy the story, gameplay was pretty fun, but online was actually very fun...if you have friends.
I played it and it was fantastic! But I would love to play it again because I was borrowing it from a friend so I had to get through it quickly and didn't get the full exoeriance!
This guy nails most of the reasons why this game is such a masterpiece. It's simply a different perspective of the first Bioshock in terms of story and gameplay but I always felt like playing Bioshock 1 when I played Infinite.
All I have to say is the ending BOOOMMMMMM mind blown like for realz I was thinking of it for like two days straight trying to figure everything out. Ken Levine is a genius.
Me too, just finished the game and I was first, stunned but having all these pieces of clues all puzzled in, there is only one thing I could think of: how the hell did the writers come up with the story like this? LIKE, IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO HAVE SUCH AWESOME WRITING TALENT?
+TheRedman790 I think the story/characters are rather beter in Infinite. Some people say Bioshock had better atmosphere, but i really commend Infinite for creating a very good atmosphere in a less convetional way, which would be the Bioshoxk 1 way, dark halls and dead people i the corners type of deal.
+DeepSea King BioShock will always b my favorite because I didn't feel like an outsider looking in. Giving the main character very little backstory and no name made me feel more involved, personally. Played BioShock so much tho I'm definitely looking forward to jumping into Infinite again.
Amazing review of an amazing game. You did a lot of people a huge favour by not talking about spoilers. If you come out with an ending spoiler vid I will definitely watch. The bioshock series is my favourite of all time followed closely by the Uncharted series.
jason m True, but I (and alot of other people) felt like it wasn't really relevant to anything and could have been just a dlc to the first game.The first game and Infinite had a connection to eachother if you played the dlc to Infinite.
Caesar pznco people say that bioshock infinite ties into the original, but it doesn't really, it just goes to rapture and leaves, bioshock 2 WAS in rapture
jason m It feels like you either dont understand the ending of the dlc or just didnt play it full on out. If Elizabeth hadnt done what she did in the final chapter of burial at sea, Jack wouldnt have been able to stop fontaine.
Infinite REALLY is one of the best games ever made. I didn't find it to be over-hyped at all. In fact...Infinite actually EXCEEDED my expectations, and this is coming from me, someone who actually thought that the Original BioShock and it's sequel were kind of...great, not amazing. Now when it come to Infinite...THAT right there is amazing. I am contempt when I say that no form of entertainment, wether it be a movie, song, or video game, has captured me the way that BioShock Infinite has.
Hey, jeremy, long time fan of the channel. When are we getting the bioshock infinite spoiler review? Genuinely feel I haven't seen a better story in any game I have played since and would be a nice throwback.(Retrospectively, your playstyle for this game seems to be the exactly way doom 2016 functions now)
Rapture: super cool underwater city, made for the philosophers, inventors and whoever wanted to stay away from God and country; most where fucking lunatics and criminals, turned the place into an underwater hell hole, filled with crazy experiments Bid Daddies. Technically an underwater laboratory of evil. Columbia: celestial looking city in the sky filled with gorgeous view and technology; filled with racists, religious bigots,giant mustache wearing robot suits and dimension hopping weirdos. Also, the city is a flying fortress whose leader plans to use for his invasion plans. Both are pretty fucked up.
steven shehan ..but Spec Ops:The Line is a *third-person shooter* while Bioshock:Infinite is an FPS. I haven't even played Spec Ops and I know that much, at least.
I beat the game at least a week ago and the ending is still in my head, and the Murder of Crows Vigor is in my opinion the best vigor. I also fell in love with Elizabeth so I totally agree.
When I first seen your blog or whatever, I was like 'This dude is right." I agree with you Jeremy...Awesometacular. I know I spelled it wrong, but is it a sin to watch your video while buzzed...I reckon. I like what you do J.
I have heard all the hate for this game already, and it usually involves people complaining about the story being too complicated. Well, if everything was easy, and obvious mentally, that would be boring as hell. I like stories that make me think. I love stories that completely bend and twist my concept of reality, and this game did just that. I love it.

The hate is pretty much that is a bad Bioshock game, but a good game in general.
In my opinion, the worst bioshock game was Bioshock 2, which I wouldnt necessarily call a bad game in general either but it honestly was weak for my standards of bioshock
Bioshock Infinite is so over rated, i can only see an average shooter. Okay its pretty cool to slide on the rails with your hook but its bioshock all over again, its rapture but in the sky, the graphics are pretty. You can only carry 2 guns... WTF? I give Bioshock Infinite a 7/10 Note: This review is only my opinion
Songbird was actually the Big Daddy style character in this game with Elizabeth being its Little Sister. Also, if you find the right voxophones, it explains why there are so many similarities to various things found in Rapture like plasmids and big daddy's etc. It also explains why there's modern music, albeit cover versions, in a game set in 1912.
For people saying the Ending sucks, it's only because you DON'T understand it. It took me about 3 times to understand everything that happened in the ending, and in a game, that is fucking kickass. The ending is something I have never seen in a game, and would've expected it something out of a science fiction novel. Other than the ending, the gameplay is indeed decent, but it's not the generic shit people say it is, and the characters, you care about them, you kind of feel who they are and how bad they feel about them being oppressed by many different factors in the game. It's my 2nd favourite game of all time, and that will never change.
look no way its as good as number 1 but it was still really good story and fun gameplay as well. and this game shows how how 1 was to be so i like that :)
I thought infinite was just as good as the original Bioshock, they are just different games, the original had a better atmosphere and game world but i think infinite had a better story, an awesome character in Elizabeth and better gunplay... close call but i preferred Infinite.
Rob A Infinite as good as Bioshock 1?? Hmmmm, Bioshock 1 is easily not only one of the top 1-5 games to ever hit the Ps3 but it's also one of the greatest games of all time and it could be placed anywheres from 1-20 on an all time list, Infinite doesn't break a top 30-50 on it's best day, you're comparing apples vs oranges.
Hi Jeremy, If you ever get some time would you mind doing a spoiler review of bioshock infinite? (the best story in a fps game, does that still hold up?)
I feel so alone in my opinion of this game. Not only am I more or less indifferent about the majority of it, but I honestly didn't like the ending. It seems like everyone and their dog likes the ending, and while I can see why people do, I just don't.
I'm with you too man, it's pretty much just like any other FPS out there. The weapons are not that great, the game is super easy espically when you have the women with you, and it's really repetitive.
AVET87 I do slightly disagree with the weapons, but that's only because of the hand cannon. As meh as this game felt playing through, that gun was *FUN*. And I wouldn't say "just like any other FPS", because it did feel different when I took the time to stop hoarding and actually use vigors, but it did still feel lackluster to me.
I put this game down and never touched it again. I rushed through the second half so I could get it done and put it down (other than when I went to look for voxophones, then I remembered why I put it down and never touched it since)
I finished the game An hour ago. the ending of this game will have you question everything you know, you think you know, and everything you will ever know and can know. Confused....Bitch you will be.
One of the best reviews for this game, simple, fun and to the point. Jeremy, you are my favorite reviewer. But I had a slight different experience when it comes to the sky rails, I used them all the time. And that is what is great about this game though, as you can play in many different ways. Still early in the year, but so far this is GOTY for me.
The Bioshock franchise is the only reason I'm considering going into the gaming industry. I'd love to work for people who can create such compelling stories.
The problem that I have with games where you can carry 10 weapons at a time is that ammo tends to be a problem. Say that I like the shotgun in a certain game and I want to use it frequently, well I can't because there isn't enough ammo for the thing because the ammo is spread out across 10 guns. In a game where there is 2 guns, you will pretty much only find ammo for those two guns and never run out, which offers more freedom and allows you to use weapons that you like more often.
Huh. Never really thought about that. Excellent point. (I didn't mind the 2 weapon limit cos I just ran around picking up any guns the enemies dropped, then reclaiming my favourite ones)
I am really glad that you liked the game. After I finished (an hour ago), I went online to read other people's opinions and I was surprised by how many "Bioshock is overrated" articles popped up. This was one of the best games I have played in a long time.
Great review, Jeremy. I adore this game. As soon as I was done, I had to fight the urge to start it over again since I had school the next day. That's the first time I wanted to play a game again immediately after beating it. Story was amazing, Elizabeth is my favorite female vide game character and the gameplay was good and sucked me in
We need your bioshock infinite ending spoiler video. And maybe a bioshock 2 review, but I don't need to know how awesome it is I already know just thought it would be funny.
Picked it up on the steam sale, and just finished it. I thought the gameplay got kind of repetitive and dull after a while. However, the story and setting were amazing, and I look foward to the next game in the Bioshock series.
So far my favorite game of all time. That ending blew me the hell away and I doubt any game has ever messed with people's emotions as much as this one did. It took me a while to understand the ending but I finally figured it out after collecting everything the second time I played. It would be awesome if you talked about the ending :)
Beat Bioshock Infinite as I'm typing this. Please do an ending vid for this game, I loved your Mass Effect 3 reviews :) Can't wait to try Bioshock 1 and 2
The Last of Us came out in 2013... Grand Theft Auto V came out in 2013.. Two masterpieces.... but my favorite game of 2013 will always remain Bioshock Infinite :)
Amen to that, bro.
2014 the year of complete shit games
T-Ray Jones Far Cry 4, Dragon Age Inquisition and Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor are really good.
Dominique Deguire only good games,I wish the MCC wouldn't have been broken at launch,and the shit games are carrying over into 2015(I'm looking at you Battlefield Hardline)
T-Ray Jones
This is a review of Infinite with the hype meter turned off.
/watch?v=VdNhwb7iuI4
This game is not overrated. It was really unique and memorable. I'd just love how the story was put together.
Hyper Mystic Fox I get really tired of people saying this is the best game ever. it's really good but was a definite step down from the first Bioshock
When I started bioshock infinite
I started the game, and went, woah this game is dark as shit!
And then I reached Columbia wow beautiful!
First fight, this game is violent as shit!
Met Elizabeth, noooo, will this be like Ashleigh in re4, I hated Ashleigh.
But no fucking awesome game!
ugh ashleigh
Smeghammer you just reminded me of one of my biggest problems from my youth :C
lol Ashley from RE 4 was annoying as shit lmao. Infinite was awesome though hands down
Smeghammer: that was pretty much how I felt...except when the alternate dimensions came in and I saw Rapture briefly I was like ":O" and jizzed in my pants
"okay Ashleigh, stay here I'm gonna go grab that jewel"
"Okay Leon"
"Okay, I'm gonna.. I'm gonna go just real quick"
"I'll be okay Leon"
Leon takes one step back:
Ashleigh: "Leon help!"
I really wish that Jeremy could talk about Bioshock infinite and the DLC's. I think those ending deserve a bit of a review or a talk. They were pretty awesome.
+Andrew S YES! Finally someone who agrees those DLCs ruined the entire series. I tell my friends that Burial at Sea never happened lol
Andrew Silverman just played the entire trilogy and All DLC’s of Bioshock in order. I personally enjoyed BAS quite a lot. What did you find unlikable about it?
Im still waiting on that Bioshock Infinite spoiler review hehehe
Same...
yup still
A year later!
Yesss 2018
yep same here
Really wish Jeremy did a spoiler talk for this and for both Burial at Sea episodes. I just got around the Bioshock series this year, and finished Burial at Sea last month, and that ending almost made me cry.
GreatSpaceToaster Almost? you're more badass than me, 'cause I was in *no* way prepared for that shit. I mean that was devastaing...
Andrew S I like to think it happened in a seperate reality and then I'm fine with it
Why did we never get the Bioshock Infinite ending video?
Maybe in an alternate universe, man. Maybe.
@@paradoxacres1063 I see all the doors ...
@@I_Just_Like_Neat_Stuff there’s always a man and there’s always a lighthouse
FINALLY. Someone else who thought Elizabeth reminded them of Belle!!
lol same here man.
Chris Cartwright Well Elizabeth is based on Disney princesses.
I thought that was a well-known fact. I meant in specific.
Chris Cartwright she reminded me a lot of Rapunzel,from the Tangled you know ? the girl is stuck in a tower you go there you save her,she wants to live in the real world cause she spent all her life in that damn tower. she's kind,cute seems stupid but she's really smart.and at one point she scares the hell out of the main character by showing her power. xD
anyway,bioshock infinite is by far the best game I've ever played. *---*
while, the resemblance is quite uncanny
Bio shock infinite is my favorite game of all time.
***** None of your business douche.
***** By examination of the internet, and how it works, i see that YOU are the child, as told by your name, the way you type, and the fact that you comment on random comments that have absolutely NOTHING to do with you.

Can i ask why you are all ganging up on me? I have done nothing mean to you. if i have said anything, you were probably the one to initiate it.

one of my favorite games of all time
if The Last of Us didn't show up, this definitely would have won the GOTY
*SPOILER WARNING RESPONSE*
I think you're misinterpreting. The time in which Booker is in Columbia in the game is the first time you successfully break the cycle of rescuing Elizabeth. After that, you die in the universe where you accepted the baptism and became Comstock which lead to Booker in that universe dying as well as all other versions of Comstock and Elizabeth. At the end of the game you return to a universe where Comstock never interfered and that is Booker with baby Anna.

Jeremy, I hope you have played the Infinite DLC... It will blow your mind.
I finished it and cried. It was such a beautiful end to the Bioshock trilogy and makes the whole thing a timey-wimey, parallel universe filled, creepy toned, action packed, jaw dropping circle
Bioshock infinite is the first ever story to have portrayed time travel accurately, it takes in to account of the grandpa time travel theory and comes up with an alternative with out flaw, also it ties in with the story line so well, the gameplay was above average, but I couldn't get too into it because I just wanted to keep progressing in the story, an absolute beautiful game
I don't know if it's accurate (don't know much about sci-fi), but it was *brilliantly* portrayed and executed.
Lol, no it doesn't. Elizabeth killing Booker didn't do shit. If she really wanted to make a difference, she should've killed one of the Lutece's parents before they were born, and BTW the "grandpa time travel theory" is not a theory, it's a paradox, and you having a paradox in a story is just dumb.
Bioshock Infinite is easily the best game I've ever played. Period.
Thomas Hansen Exactly. Infinite is fucking amazing but it isnt even in my top 5 of all time.
Thomas Hansen Opinion.
I completely Agree, I have been playing games my whole life and Bioshock infinite is my favourite game f all time.
I don't know if I'd go that far, but I would say it may be the best game I've played this generation. And it definitely has the best story I've ever seen in a video game. Seriously, when I got to the end, my brain felt like it had melted and was dripping out of my ears and onto the floor.
have you played The Last Of Us?
After finishing this game I couldn't stop trying to figure out the ending for months
I stuck to the Shotgun and the Hand cannon the whole game!
year 2021 still waiting for a bioshock infinite spoiler review... i need one.
I finished the Bioshock Collection for the first time; I will easily say that Bioshock Infinite is my favorite of the bunch and is definitely one of my favorite games of all time.
i need your spoiler talk of the ending dude
Is it wrong to say that I like this game more than the first Bioshock? I mean, I love Bioshock a lot; I just tend to lean towards this game a bit more
i also loved this game 10 times better
I agree
So do I
It was a masterpiece, it had some fantastic writing. Too bad the next one is gonna be shitty because they're giving it to some guy and not the creator
@@TxxT33 Theres gonna be a next one?
While it's natural to compare bioshock to bioshock infinite I think that neither is better or worse. It's like comparing apples to oranges. They both are so different and unique from one another!
While the first Bioshock was a horror game, Infinite is a pulpy adventure game that tells a dark, adult fairy tale.
(I'm basically just echoing Adam Sessler & Yahtzee here, but I think they're right)
And yet both are fruit :D
Quite tasty fruit, too :)
i absolutely loved the story. the ending made my head go BOOOOM!
"Minds are made to be blown."--R. Crumb
If you thought that was mindblowing, check out the DLC, "Burial At Sea" Parts 1 and 2.
I admire this game because while it is a step down from the other two Bioshock games in some respects it makes up for it by having two well written characters with great chemistry and one of the best endings in video game history. Whether or not you enjoy those last two elements will most likely determine if you'll enjoy this game and I think that's actually a first in the video game industry.
It's strange the game takes one step forward yet two steps backwards for me, Bioshock 1 although an amazing game, as a shooter wasn't all that great, but what it lacked in finesse as a shooter it made up for in the variety and depth of as gameplay, the psuedo RPG aspect's really fleshed out the game,
Bioshock infinite kind of strips it all the way and just focuses on shooting, the problem is the gun-play wasn't too hot, shootouts became incredibly tedious at times, especially wit the ghost'a and the handyman
The7thDraconian the first Bioshock had one of the best endings in video game history
legend has it Jeremy is still editing his spoiler video ...
I've played a lot of games and this is my favourite :D
Bioshock infinity is one of the best games I’ve ever played
2013 games are so good compared to 2014
hey man, with October and covid going on rn. it would be cool to hear your thoughts on the ending (spoiler review) and even ur opinion on the Burial at Sea DLC since they dropped the remasters and how the story plays out in the end. would be super cool to hear ur thoughts on it. :)
2018 and still waiting for Bioshock Infinite spoiler review. Please Jeremy. Make it happen!
it's not gonna happen get over it
Hey jeremy, you are my favorite youtuber/ person who reviews stuff. That being said, I would love for you to make a video on your thoughts on the ending because I love hearing you talk because of the fact that youre pretty entertaining to watch and listen to. I know youre busy but if you make that video, it will make whatever day I see that video. Thank you from a loyal fan
Yeah. Still my comfort FPS game at most times.
Just finished the game...Holy fucking shit jesus...that was one of the best endeings ever! I just can't get it out of my head
I dunno, i wasn't surprised. If anything it felt like i was left out half-way. It went from quite logical to a total clusterfuck for me.
The game was crazy fun tho and very addicting. Loved it all the way. But yeah, the ending. Didn't really grab me. :S
Also; Elizabeth - Sidekick/Escortee of the year, every year.
You know what the funniest part about it is, past me? I STILL haven't gotten it outta my head.
USUVA Aivar It's almost like a mix of Inception (which I felt was merely "ok") and Donnie Darko (fantastic movie, imo). But Bioshock:Infinite, now here's the kicker, actually feels *more satisfying* than both combined. Bioshock:Infinite shows that there is still hope for AAA games.
my favorite ending to a game ever
This is my favorite game of all time. Everything just clicked for me. A lot of people are going to disagree. But I freaking love this game! The combat was great, The story was excellent and the characters are interesting and memorable. The only I don't like is that you can clip through Elizabeth when she hides in combat, but it seems like that is just there to stop her from ever getting in your way.
For me, it was the fact that I couldn't save anywhere, anytime I wanted. That's kinda annoying in this day and age.
Aside from that, I pretty much agree with everything you said. Gameplay felt a bit Tarantino-ish to me, which made me feel like a hero in one of his movies (DJango Unchained or Inglorious Basterds). The story felt like an adult fairy tale. I loved everything in this game :)
I will agree with you on the story and the characters, if it's one thing any bioshock game can do well, it's those two aspects. I love the first bioshock btw :). However; the combat got stale real fast, no enemy variety really, and it was a little too easy. But, that's all my opinion. I respect yours just as much.
Yea well there are definitely a few things like that that were annoying, but unfortunately necessary. Like in the begining it makes sense that nobody shoots elizabeth because they are all ordered not to because she is so valuable. But later on in the revolution it kinda took me out of it because white girls and boys were being shot all over the place.
trequor That's true. Look at it this way, though. You weren't allowed (in Bioshock 1) to get the Little Sisters unless you've taken out their Big Daddy's.
Same with Infinite. You gotta get through Booker to get to Elizabeth :)
Paradox Acres except that they didnt make elizabeth impervius to anything but ADAM draining. The little sisters can't be harmed because they heal wolverine style and you dont have a chance to drain them without the big daddy shoving his drill up your bum. Whereas in infinite booker just takes off onto some ledge and the baddies just run right by elizabeth. I suppose it could be argued that they ignore her because she ignores them and go to take out the guy fighting them
I'm glad you want to talk more about it because I'd like to hear you talk more about it.
One of the only games I ever played all the way through in one sitting...yes, Mr. Jahns, I too loved Infinite for all the reasons you mentioned. I will say this much: there is one sequence in this game where I felt ground down into dust emotionally because of the sheer cosmic injustice of what I saw. What made it worse was that I didn't get the chance to do anything about it before it happened. Then...the sequence ends and I felt an...incredible amount of relief, like waking up from a nightmare. And THAT was just one sequence in this game.
Same formula, different story. Constants and Variables.
How bioshock infinite starts:
bring us the girl and wipe away the debt
how it ends:
but Booker is reallly Comstock from another universe and Elizabeth is really your daughter who lost a pinky that makes her open tears in the fabric of space time while the Lutece twins are really the same person and the black people get their rights!
that guy looks like the guy on the game cover
RACISM
spoiler tags are one step closer to the cure for cancer
AND RASISM
I just beat this game, like, about an hour ago. It's 6 In the morning here, I'm hella fucking tired, but that ending, melted my BRAIN. complete fucking whiplash GOTDAMN. I can't wait to play the dlc, holy SHIT. A classic.
It's definitely a contender for my favourite game of all time, everything about the experience of the game was phenomenal and you can really see the care put into it down to every minor detail, for instance the song booker & Elizabeth play was actually their voice actors singing and playing the guitar.
It's something truly unique and I finished it just wanting more and the ending truly blew me away, even though I was trying to 2nd-guess it the entire way through, I never even got close.
loved this review, much better than all other reviews on youtube, or even the internet
Review the Burial at Sea dlc's Jeremy.
PLEASE DO A SPOILER TALK OF BIOSHOCK INFINITE! EVERYONE HAS PLAYED IT NOW! PLEEEAAASE
I'm playing it now.
Just finished this game now and holy shit was it amazing! Game of the year (2013)! Wow. Just speechless. Still up for a spoiler review Jeremy? Play it again and make one!
Possibly the best story for a game I have ever seen. The way it played out was perfection.
Ever played The Witcher 3 or any metal gear solid game?
+Teebz 1000 both. Just like the way infinite played out.
+JoNoGiOg fair enough so.
I love it when you review video games...great to see you share your love of the hobby!
Where's the ending review?
Maybe he got scared by all the angry people online who love to hate this game? Or maybe he was too busy, at the time. Either way, it's a bit too late. (Although I'd *love* for him to do a Spoiler video, even if it's 1 year too late)
this game was so much better than gta 5
I agree. The only thing that i think saved GTA 5's ass was that it was very expansive. I didn't enjoy the story, gameplay was pretty fun, but online was actually very fun...if you have friends.
Can't really compare. Two different games.
No question dude
Ummm....no.
Correct
I played it and it was fantastic! But I would love to play it again because I was borrowing it from a friend so I had to get through it quickly and didn't get the full exoeriance!
“Beach Boys acappella “is the greatest sentence ever spoken.
This guy nails most of the reasons why this game is such a masterpiece. It's simply a different perspective of the first Bioshock in terms of story and gameplay but I always felt like playing Bioshock 1 when I played Infinite.
All I have to say is the ending BOOOMMMMMM mind blown like for realz I was thinking of it for like two days straight trying to figure everything out. Ken Levine is a genius.
this game is the reason i play video games
Truth be told man.....truth be told
It renewed my faith in AAA games.
We never got that spoiler video 😭
And never will
Me too, just finished the game and I was first, stunned but having all these pieces of clues all puzzled in, there is only one thing I could think of:
how the hell did the writers come up with the story like this? LIKE, IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO HAVE SUCH AWESOME WRITING TALENT?
Really love your reviews, Jeremy. Glad I found you!
Could you make a video about burial at sea please?
first time i played the game....THIS IS IT! this is what i wanted... and i'm not a big fan of FPS...
Original BioShock is still the king IMO but Infinite was fun. Hope the rumor if a remastered collection for ps4 is true.
+TheRedman790 I think the story/characters are rather beter in Infinite. Some people say Bioshock had better atmosphere, but i really commend Infinite for creating a very good atmosphere in a less convetional way, which would be the Bioshoxk 1 way, dark halls and dead people i the corners type of deal.
+DeepSea King BioShock will always b my favorite because I didn't feel like an outsider looking in. Giving the main character very little backstory and no name made me feel more involved, personally. Played BioShock so much tho I'm definitely looking forward to jumping into Infinite again.
+TheRedman790 But he did have a name. It's Jack.
TheRedman790 You like RPG kind of deal, thats fine. if you like fallout you probably didnt like the last installment too much
all 3 for 10$ on steam
Wasn't a bio shock fan but when I played this it's now one of the best games I've ever played
Amazing review of an amazing game. You did a lot of people a huge favour by not talking about spoilers. If you come out with an ending spoiler vid I will definitely watch. The bioshock series is my favourite of all time followed closely by the Uncharted series.
If only he did a bioshock 2 review
I honestly wouldn't count that as a bioshock game, at all.
Caesar pznco why not, all 3 games were made by different people, so I think it would be fair
jason m True, but I (and alot of other people) felt like it wasn't really relevant to anything and could have been just a dlc to the first game.The first game and Infinite had a connection to eachother if you played the dlc to Infinite.
Caesar pznco people say that bioshock infinite ties into the original, but it doesn't really, it just goes to rapture and leaves, bioshock 2 WAS in rapture
jason m It feels like you either dont understand the ending of the dlc or just didnt play it full on out. If Elizabeth hadnt done what she did in the final chapter of burial at sea, Jack wouldnt have been able to stop fontaine.
Infinite REALLY is one of the best games ever made. I didn't find it to be over-hyped at all. In fact...Infinite actually EXCEEDED my expectations, and this is coming from me, someone who actually thought that the Original BioShock and it's sequel were kind of...great, not amazing. Now when it come to Infinite...THAT right there is amazing. I am contempt when I say that no form of entertainment, wether it be a movie, song, or video game, has captured me the way that BioShock Infinite has.
Being a fan of the bioshock,series, I say this game was better than The Last of Us
really like your aggressive review, and straight into the point!
Hey, jeremy, long time fan of the channel. When are we getting the bioshock infinite spoiler review? Genuinely feel I haven't seen a better story in any game I have played since and would be a nice throwback.(Retrospectively, your playstyle for this game seems to be the exactly way doom 2016 functions now)
If Jeremy Jahns says the game is good, it IS good:)
Rapture: super cool underwater city, made for the philosophers, inventors and whoever wanted to stay away from God and country; most where fucking lunatics and criminals, turned the place into an underwater hell hole, filled with crazy experiments Bid Daddies. Technically an underwater laboratory of evil.
Columbia: celestial looking city in the sky filled with gorgeous view and technology; filled with racists, religious bigots,giant mustache wearing robot suits and dimension hopping weirdos. Also, the city is a flying fortress whose leader plans to use for his invasion plans.
Both are pretty fucked up.
Yet they're some of the best worlds in gaming, especially Columbia. It's so fucking beautiful.
Duke
There's no denying that. Both are visually stunning.
Wrong ....Spec ops: the line was the best story ever lol
The best FIRST PERSON STORY.
Different story, different genre.
there both first person and there both shooters ......
steven shehan ..but Spec Ops:The Line is a *third-person shooter* while Bioshock:Infinite is an FPS. I haven't even played Spec Ops and I know that much, at least.
your right ...my bad i was thinking of another fps that is alot like spec ops ....my bad lol
I beat the game at least a week ago and the ending is still in my head, and the Murder of Crows Vigor is in my opinion the best vigor. I also fell in love with Elizabeth so I totally agree.
When I first seen your blog or whatever, I was like
'This dude is right." I agree with you Jeremy...Awesometacular. I know I spelled it wrong, but is it a sin to watch your video while buzzed...I reckon. I like what you do J.
soooo... spoiler video?
lol
I have heard all the hate for this game already, and it usually involves people complaining about the story being too complicated. Well, if everything was easy, and obvious mentally, that would be boring as hell. I like stories that make me think. I love stories that completely bend and twist my concept of reality, and this game did just that. I love it.
The hate is pretty much that is a bad Bioshock game, but a good game in general.
In my opinion, the worst bioshock game was Bioshock 2, which I wouldnt necessarily call a bad game in general either but it honestly was weak for my standards of bioshock
Bioshock Infinite is so over rated, i can only see an average shooter. Okay its pretty cool to slide on the rails with your hook but its bioshock all over again, its rapture but in the sky, the graphics are pretty. You can only carry 2 guns... WTF? I give Bioshock Infinite a 7/10 Note: This review is only my opinion
and not many people asked for it. But I do rekon what you said is accurate in some respects
love these game reviews your doing now, super entertaining
Songbird was actually the Big Daddy style character in this game with Elizabeth being its Little Sister.
Also, if you find the right voxophones, it explains why there are so many similarities to various things found in Rapture like plasmids and big daddy's etc. It also explains why there's modern music, albeit cover versions, in a game set in 1912.
For people saying the Ending sucks, it's only because you DON'T understand it. It took me about 3 times to understand everything that happened in the ending, and in a game, that is fucking kickass. The ending is something I have never seen in a game, and would've expected it something out of a science fiction novel. Other than the ending, the gameplay is indeed decent, but it's not the generic shit people say it is, and the characters, you care about them, you kind of feel who they are and how bad they feel about them being oppressed by many different factors in the game. It's my 2nd favourite game of all time, and that will never change.
everyone has crush on Elizbeth!!
look no way its as good as number 1 but it was still really good story and fun gameplay as well. and this game shows how how 1 was to be so i like that :)
I thought infinite was just as good as the original Bioshock, they are just different games, the original had a better atmosphere and game world but i think infinite had a better story, an awesome character in Elizabeth and better gunplay... close call but i preferred Infinite.
so true
Rob A Infinite as good as Bioshock 1?? Hmmmm, Bioshock 1 is easily not only one of the top 1-5 games to ever hit the Ps3 but it's also one of the greatest games of all time and it could be placed anywheres from 1-20 on an all time list, Infinite doesn't break a top 30-50 on it's best day, you're comparing apples vs oranges.
dude i didnt say it was better lol
and oranges are better then apples lel
Hi Jeremy, If you ever get some time would you mind doing a spoiler review of bioshock infinite? (the best story in a fps game, does that still hold up?)
Hey. I get its a busy movie season and all but can we get that bioshock ending video? That would make my dreams come true
I feel so alone in my opinion of this game. Not only am I more or less indifferent about the majority of it, but I honestly didn't like the ending. It seems like everyone and their dog likes the ending, and while I can see why people do, I just don't.
I didn't like it either.
I'm with you too man, it's pretty much just like any other FPS out there. The weapons are not that great, the game is super easy espically when you have the women with you, and it's really repetitive.
AVET87 I do slightly disagree with the weapons, but that's only because of the hand cannon. As meh as this game felt playing through, that gun was *FUN*. And I wouldn't say "just like any other FPS", because it did feel different when I took the time to stop hoarding and actually use vigors, but it did still feel lackluster to me.
I didn't like it, but it was good and interesting
I put this game down and never touched it again. I rushed through the second half so I could get it done and put it down (other than when I went to look for voxophones, then I remembered why I put it down and never touched it since)
I finished the game An hour ago. the ending of this game will have you question everything you know, you think you know, and everything you will ever know and can know. Confused....Bitch you will be.
I thought it was pretty straightforward. It's simple quantum mechanics
Everybody loves everybody ? You did noticed the racism right ?
One of the best reviews for this game, simple, fun and to the point. Jeremy, you are my favorite reviewer. But I had a slight different experience when it comes to the sky rails, I used them all the time. And that is what is great about this game though, as you can play in many different ways.
Still early in the year, but so far this is GOTY for me.
JeremyJahns would you kindly upload that video of the BioShock Infinite ending?
Hey, Jeremy.... do review of Burial at sea 1 and 2 ......
The Bioshock franchise is the only reason I'm considering going into the gaming industry. I'd love to work for people who can create such compelling stories.
The problem that I have with games where you can carry 10 weapons at a time is that ammo tends to be a problem. Say that I like the shotgun in a certain game and I want to use it frequently, well I can't because there isn't enough ammo for the thing because the ammo is spread out across 10 guns.
In a game where there is 2 guns, you will pretty much only find ammo for those two guns and never run out, which offers more freedom and allows you to use weapons that you like more often.
Huh. Never really thought about that. Excellent point.
(I didn't mind the 2 weapon limit cos I just ran around picking up any guns the enemies dropped, then reclaiming my favourite ones)
I am really glad that you liked the game. After I finished (an hour ago), I went online to read other people's opinions and I was surprised by how many "Bioshock is overrated" articles popped up. This was one of the best games I have played in a long time.
hey Jeremy that ending video will really help think you can make it eventually
Great review, Jeremy. I adore this game. As soon as I was done, I had to fight the urge to start it over again since I had school the next day. That's the first time I wanted to play a game again immediately after beating it. Story was amazing, Elizabeth is my favorite female vide game character and the gameplay was good and sucked me in
Jeremy!!! Still waiting for that Bioshock Infinite ending talk...
really wish you made a video on the ending. Would if loved you intake from it all.
We need your bioshock infinite ending spoiler video. And maybe a bioshock 2 review, but I don't need to know how awesome it is I already know just thought it would be funny.
Another great review Mr. Jahns. I think you deserve more views.
Bioshock Infinite, I thought had unignorable flaws but that's just my opinion
Picked it up on the steam sale, and just finished it. I thought the gameplay got kind of repetitive and dull after a while. However, the story and setting were amazing, and I look foward to the next game in the Bioshock series.
That description for Elizabeth was spot on XD
Can you talk about the ending? It is really complex and is better writing than what hollywood can produce sometimes
So far my favorite game of all time. That ending blew me the hell away and I doubt any game has ever messed with people's emotions as much as this one did. It took me a while to understand the ending but I finally figured it out after collecting everything the second time I played. It would be awesome if you talked about the ending :)
Beat Bioshock Infinite as I'm typing this. Please do an ending vid for this game, I loved your Mass Effect 3 reviews :)
Can't wait to try Bioshock 1 and 2
