Same! But I did give BioShock Infinite a try but I just couldn't get into it. Time to give it another go.

BioShock Infinite is terrible. Play the first one, it's decent.

Its' the only one not fucked by Blind Squirel in the collection, tho
Since they havent touched it at all
For the other 2, I highly recomend playing them on their original form.
The "remaster" has a bunch of missing visual effects, changes made to the artstyle, botched audio quality and etc.
They go on sale for peanuts these days

Infinite is the only really good one.
the first one is a slow shooter that wears the dead skin of an immersive sim to hide its shallowness.
the second one is basically the same but again, and with a worse atmosphere.
Infinite is a good shooter that doesn't try to hide it's only a shooter. but it has good gunplay and fun abilities... the first 2 games have worse gunplay.
so if you want to pretend you are playing an RPG but are in reality just playing a mediocre shooter then play the first game... if you actually want to play a good shooter play Infinite

Infinite a good shooter? In what universe?
Yes, the first one is not a good shooter neither it's an immersive sim but the story and setting is quite unique and compelling.
If you want to play a good shooter go play Doom. If you want to play a good immersive sim go play Prey.
On a side note Bioshock is one of the most overrated franchises in gaming.

Bioshock needs to be in a Hall of gaming fame if its not already.
If Epic store could just fix the library list so its fast and not pulling thumbnails from the web it would speed it up and make it not horrible.
If they could do this one little thing for me then I would spend more time using them.
Browsing my list of games in my Epic library is currently a oddly slow endeavor.

This was the last update I remember hearing from him https://www.neogaf.com/threads/ken-...ised-but-unsurprised-by-his-new-game.1627538/
There was also a Jason Schrierer (I think) article about how it's hard to work with him and he keeps changing his mind and rebooting the game blah blah blah but there were no actual details on what he has been working on all this time.

Is it a joke? Just about the most political big profile games ever.

Compared to most people I guess, *I HIGHLY RECOMMEND* you play the remasters for Bioshock 1 and 2. They improve the visuals quite a lot, Bioshock 1 gets a lot of features on PC which were previous console exclusive and they run better.
By default, they don't have EAX available, but it was always poorly implemented IMO. Sound reverberated like you were constantly in a cave, lol. And the "lack in visuals" people complained about was basically some early Unreal 3 wet looking surfaces now being a different material, in the very 2 minutes of the game and nowhere else. Aside from that both games look significantly better in the Remaster.

Amazing games. I've been playing the first one through on Switch again for the third time, so good.

I played Bioshock remaster last year since I got it for free on steam at some point, having owned the original since release. Seemed perfectly fine to me. Wouldn't turn my nose up at it if you have never played the game before.

They were $9 a couple of months ago on Xbox. Got 'em there.
Adding the EGS versions to library as well.
They're great game.s
Play it with a cheat/trainer enabled just to experience it, and it is decent enough.

Ok, but it was free on PS+. I'm pretty sure it's on GamePass as well.

Bioshock always reminds me of the 360 glory days. The work MS was doing getting high quality third party exclusives was plain crazy.
Mass Effect
Bioshock
Dead Space
Lost Plant
Dead Rising.
EA and Capcom going balls out for Xbox. How the world has changed.
That's why I'm glad to see more studio acquisitions by both Sony and Microsoft. The more unique game experiences on both consoles the better.

Yeah, the whole Bioshock Collection is ten bucks when it's on sale on the Xbox, but ten bucks PER GAME when it's on sale on PSN :/

I might actually be able to finish the game for once. I absolutely hate the controls on controller. I imagine that it is way easier to get a grip of them on PC.

You actually help them by having an account and logging in to claim the free games. You're now an "active user" that they can use to misrepresent their popularity to publishers and investors.

Me taking a free game every single week and spending nothing on their products is hurting them far more than the one active user is helping them.
