Is game actually trying to actively sell products now? like to actual gamers?? and not just to parents and grandparents that will pay whatever is going coz they know no better??
Next they will work out a system so that more than one customer in store doesn't create a queue out of the store!!

Started Arkham Knight and finding it a bit dark (in colour) being set at night. I bought this and now wondering if I will like it as I prefer brighter games like Mordor and Mad Max (has daytime). Are these games dark throughout? Cheers

It would be stupid to buy this.... for more than £15. They're still the same BioShock games most of us fondly remember and have already played, the only difference is these are the higher textured PC versions ported on to this generation of consoles.
Though I would like to take this opportunity to thank those less savvy that have paid full price so that more developers are encouraged to trot out gaming gold like this!

I suspect this will be a controversial opinion but i prefer 2 over Infinite... 1 is a classic, undoubtedly, and whilst i think 2's gameplay mechanic's are slightly better than 1's, it's still a 'very close second'... Infinite on the other hand... Some of the narrative beats seemed well off, and i suspect the 'Tear' mechanics were supposed to be more fleshed out than they ended up being (the early trailers gave the impression - to me, and again it's an opinion - that the 'Tears' should work anywhere anytime, like how Raziel can shift between worlds/realms in Soul Reaver). Plus there was a lot made about the Skyhook mechanics, but i found the small networks [per area] to be a little underwhelming... PLUS, some oik [on this site no less] ruined the plot twist, so i'll admit that heavily factors into my opinion... Maybe i should get this collection, and revisit, perhaps i missed something (could have been a bad time for me personally) and my opinion of Infinite will change.
OH... Heat for the price, lol

Similar here - had Bioshock disc still and Infinite was on Games with Gold for the 360 about 18 months ago, so both installed on my One yesterday. Original game now also automatically includes the DLC.

Just to give a different opinion, 2 was by far the worst of the trilogy for me. Some of the gameplay mechanics were definitely improved from 1 to 2, but the story was pretty bland and it had quite possibly the most uninteresting villain of all time. By the time I finished it I just didn't care anymore. Minerva's Den (the included DLC) on the other hand was spectacular. Honestly I wish it had been fleshed out more into a full game.
I do see your point on Infinite, there are just so many ideas in there that not all of them are fully fleshed out to their capabilities, but as an experience as a whole there's nothing else really like it. It's just a really weird game. I'm certainly much happier playing a game that has hit-or-miss ideas in it than playing something that doesn't try to do anything different.
A warning to any potential buyers, I'd definitely recommend that you don't play Infinite until you've at least completed the first game. Infinite would lose its impact quite a bit if you skip it.

Great games, and at the time they felt unique compared to other FPS. But I remember the demo of Bioshock 1 being different from the main game and very unsettling... seeing the first little sister and the splicer body was horrifying. Great experience :smiley:

Without anyone Amazon would still be screwing people, to be real. And still selling bootlegs despite being linked directly to them - they refuse to take them down. Profit it profit people - whether funding organised crime or not - who cares - customers will still buy, Amazon still gets richer, staff still get treated about the worst in the business. But at least it's got an ickle smile on da box, nnaaaaaaww.

As the title for #3 implies there is Infinite amount of realities happening at anyone time, though Infinite's Rapture-centered DLC shows characters in Rapture have been communicating with Columbia across realities it touches upon that the events have occured many times. All very Many-worlds theory, there is no beginning there is no end :man: I think Infinite disappears into itself and tries to be too clever but worth buying for Bioshock alone.
The DLC for Bioshock 2 "Minerva's Den" is also widely known to be better than the main game (that's no slight to #2 either, just its that good).

I think to get the most out of the collection I'd recommend playing 1 then 3 and two standalone. There are some references in 3 that have more impact if you have played the first one, without going into detail.
