I'll be among the first to say that both the gameplay and visuals were engrossing and of high quality. But then the story comes in. And if it stood without two other predecessors in the arena, it'd be kinda unsatisfying, but passable for what until only recently was a mindless recreation. However, considering how tightly the other stories wrap up, and the fact that multiple endings were on offer depending on how you played, disappointing is putting it kindly. They toy with you a few times, offering up what seem moral quandaries which may have a similar effect. But the only consequence is in whether a character reappears or how a catalyst plays out at that moment. And in that singular ending, what do you get? Something that relies more on assumption than a coherent narrative. Seriously, how does one reach the conclusion that a single incarnation's decision, after the fact, will have an effect on all incarnations? And then there's how the entire tale begins on a flawed foundation. If Booker was wracked with regret, and undertook the ritual in order to gain a clean slate (Slate, huh? Get it? Do you get it?!), why the hell was he screaming his bloody deeds from the rafters throughout his flying city? The main character actually has depth compared to those of the other Bioshocks, but it's more the kind you can get mired in than anything else.
Anyone else *INSANELY* disappointed by Bioshock Infinite?

My biggest and pretty much only gripe is the save function.. If I didn't catch the little save icon (on PC) in upper right, and I have to do something I have to keep at it until I see it.. so you are essentially forced to keep playing in fear of losing progress. Also, its a major pain in the ass to have 2 games played, I was letting my daughter fuck around in the game and its not an easy thing to juggle.
I do find it a little easy, but i'm a older now and don't need to be so hyper-focused to play a game anymore.. started on 1999 mode and it doesn't seem that much harder, granted I know what to expect and can plan for it better.. I do think the protect the zeppelin section will blow big time when I get to it again.
