I've never played it, I liked the 1st one but just never got around to playing the others.


First one was great. 2nd one just felt like expensive DLC and Infinite was just a big let down to me :(

Yeah i didn't buy the 2nd one cause it looked like more of the same to me. Got infinite on ps plus but never bothered playing it

Good. Even a bad Bioshock game like Bioshock 2 is better than 95% of the crap released nowadays.

Well, weren't there like sub-2m subscribers back when the game was offered? And not all would've downloaded the game so that's probably another 1.5m at most.

Wasn't it offered in February 2014 or later? There were a good million of PS+ subscribers before the PS4 launch, but that number quickly increased due to the online multiplayer paywall. By March 2015 there were already 10m subscribers, so basically every other PS4 owner has PS+; so the absolute minimum at the time of Bioshock Infinite should be 3m subscribers.

Yes, and how many of the new Plussers do you think downloaded Bioshock: Infinite for their PS3 after recently having bought a brand new console? Bioshock: Infinite didn't release on PS4.

I'll just go with your suggested rate of 75%.

Too high, since the increase was almost exclusively due to the release of PS4. The subscriber count doubled (or close to tripled?) in a short time. I don't expect them to have dloaded B: I

2k talking about the importance of Bioshock before E3, a new game announcement incoming???

Bioshock 1: 2007.
Bioshock 2: 2010.
Bioshock Infinite: 2013.
Bioshock 4: 2016???

There's a pattern of having a new Bioshock game every 3 years.

They most likely included PSN Plus in that number.

Didn't even realize it was included with PS+. That'll certainly push up the number.


Keep in mind that this was in the early PS4/late PS3 days of PS+, so the amount of PS+ subscribers would've been considerably lower than it is now. It'll stil inflate numbers of course.
