Everything from the moment that you launch from the lighthouse to when the raffle comes to a very abrupt end, is just the most beautiful setup for the rest of the game. I look at it and it gives me all the feelings that I want something I make to give people and it makes me wonder if I ever will. The opening sequence to Bioshock Infinite is so good it almost makes me angry. Additionally, for all the religious framing, there isn’t actually a ton of talk of god, is there? Everyone seems to be more fixated on following “the prophet”, showing just how much more of a cult of personality this is about than any actual religion. Just look at the fact that some of the founding fathers of America are used as pillars and symbols for the people of Columbia, just a few tweaks to the framing of the entire thing and it could be about the fanaticism of politics and the way that some people are willing to blindly follow a leader just because of the group they say they belong to. Sure, it uses the phrasing and imagery of religion as a shorthand to get the point across more quickly, but it really is about fanaticism in any form.
It isn’t really even about religion when you get down to it. The cult of Comstock is one of those elements that when you first play it seems like a pretty overt condemnation of fanatical religion. Knowing that once the story gets rolling I can disrupt these places and quiet the world around me actually keeps me from the bad behavior that some other games might punish. Even when I know that converstations are just going to last a little bit and go silent, I still like to listen to them. Still, it’s something that I have always loved that when I am able to walk around an area with people in it, they’re all doing things, even if it is a couple just sitting quietly together on a bench. Yeah, I’ll admit that this aspect has aged in the years since it’s release, with it becoming more clear where the routines of the NPCs are when they can end pretty abruptly and just stare at you. I have always loved how active and alive the world of Infinite is.
BIOSHOCK REMASTERED TWEAKS ZIP
Maybe someday I’ll feel ready to tackle one of the more extreme difficulties, but for now I’m perfectly happy to zip around the sky shooting everything that moves. I know that some were unhappy with the ability to hold only two guns, but I never found it to be an issue since I didn’t usually use more than 3 in each run anyways. Despite that, I was having an amazing time still and the game play only gets better and better the smoother that I get at it. The first time that I played, Infinite was one of the first first-person shooters that I had ever played, so I was kind of fumbling about with the controls and dying pretty often. It might sound odd that the gameplay is the tenth most important thing to me about this game, but that just goes to show how strong the other elements are because the game-play is absolutely fantastic.
In the meantime, though, I’ve been thinking about what exactly compels me to play the game each year now that the conversation has risen up again in response to the game coming to switch. In fact, my yearly playthrough is currently dangling over me as a reward for when I finish packing to move.
Since then, I have played Bioshock Infinite at least once a year. I finally got my chance to see what all the hype was about when Bioshock: The Collection dropped on the PlayStation 4 in 2016.
BIOSHOCK REMASTERED TWEAKS FREE
I had always heard good things, but thankfully managed to remain spoiler free aside from the occasional picture of a Big Daddy here and there.
BIOSHOCK REMASTERED TWEAKS SERIES
One series that I had always heard about and kept in mind to get around to when I got back into the gaming sphere again was the Bioshock series. I’ve said before that I missed out on a lot of the 7th generation of gaming for various reasons, something that I am still catching up on to this day.
