Another review that doesn't break the embargo because it isn't a review copy

4/5 - "I’m left a little astonished, baffled, disappointed and amazed all at the same time"

Uh, not sure I understand how these things he mentions here are negatives:

"With future DLC updates coming, Bioshock Infinite is a game that deserves it’s place in Bioshock. It’s not as good as the first game, but miles ahead from the second. Whilst the story continues to baffle and the graphics continue to not render the way you hoped, the strong characters and the astonishing gameplay are what holds everything together. It just makes me wonder where the DLC will go; you’ll think the same upon completion. It’s also a real shame they didn’t decide to pursue a multiplayer, but then again Bioshock 2′s wasn’t exactly pretty."

Similar criticisms to the other reviews. More should be coming soon!

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

It might be up there with the original Bioshock, which got 94 on PS3 and 96 on Xbox/ PC. It's not impossible

Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

I'm playing it since Saturday and I'm 8-10h in. I'm really liking it but it's not an excellent game to me (like the previous Bioshock entries). It would surprise me if it reaches a 90 on metacritic tbh. I bet on a 85-88 average score.

Game of the year 2017 so far:

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
1. Super Mario Odyssey

story based dlc is inherently a flaw the first didn't have, unless the dlc ends up being pointless like FF13-2's dlc, but then that makes the dlc pointless. I guess I'd rather have that be the case.

With multiplayer you pretty much can't win unless you're able to create an innovative great multiplayer like uncharted then it's hard for people to complain. If you don't you get critics criticizing you for an 8-12 hour with little replay value, If you do other critics get you for creating a somewhat ordinary but fun enough if you like the universe and screw around for a while (Tomb Raider)

I know people are like blah blah blah games don't need multiplayer. But if everyone did that you wouldn't have had games like mercenaries in RE, and the uncharted multiplayer etc.

Incoming reviews across the web, so far it looks promising and it may have a high possibility to reach 90 in Metascore and above it!!!

Gamereactor SE just gave it 10/10 and the reviewer doesn't see any other game that could top this in 2013(seems reasonable)

http://www.gamereactor.se/recensioner/96951/Bioshock+Infinite/

Polygon added their review too perfect 10/10 there too!!!

http://www.polygon.com/game/bioshock-infinite/2779

Gamespot scores it at 9/10

http://www.gamespot.com/bioshock-infinite/reviews/bioshock-infinite-review-6405506/?tag=Topslot;BioshockInfiniteReview;BioshockInfiniteReview

Joystiq has it on a perfect 5/5(10/10)

http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/25/bioshock-infinite-review/

Gametrailers video review gives it 9.4/10

Whatever happens from now on I just have one thing to say IG started this gen with one of the highest rated FPSs and they are closing this gen with another one!

That has to be the No.1 recognition of a developer in this generation, the storytelling and the games in their whole are something a lot of developers could learn from in the next Gen.
