This game is a trip. First of all, the controls are very different, in the simplest way, you can aim down sights. It might not seem that important, but it foreshadows the fact that the combat is much more spaced out when compared to its predecessors. For someone who has played both Bioshock 1 and 2 it is BRUTAL, the shotguns are useless, aiming down sights becomes your main method of firing, and you only get 2 Weapons?! and for people who are just trying out the series, it will probably be worse. The reason i say this is because of plasmids, oh sorry, I mean VIgOrS. In the previous games ( istg last time i'm mentioning them), you had a selection of plasmids but could only effectively use 8 or 9 of them, (with the total number being not much higher than that) in Bioshock Infinite they are only 8, which means less expression variety, and some Vigors become basically unusable when taking into account that they cost too much salt and the fact that others are Vital to survival and generally more useful. So that would make it simpler, right? Well, in my opinion, no. Because of the spatious enviorment, the incentive is to use guns, so my question is, WHY DO VIGORS EXIST FOR SUCH A MINOR BENEFIT IF GUNS ARE SO MUCH BETTER, i get that some vigors apply the vulnerable status effect, and shock jockey is very good for patriots, but, i think the game could be easily completed (excluding some vigor puzzles), without the vigors ( with that said the game will be easier if you use them and despite what i portrayed previously, some of them are alright, especially the trap version of SJ).
As for the story, It's very thought out, it takes you by your hand and throws you into the SKYYYYY, WEEEEEEEEE.
Also, i know that, from a lore standpoint the fact that vigors cost more that the plasmids makes sense.
I liked the story, personally the game is really good in terms of the combat, but it's difficult, that's why i recommend it, change of pace from most of the fps games nowadays, and good developed story which if i got into, you would have no reason to play the game.
And, Also Also Also the part where i whine about vigors is mostly coping because my first playthrough was on hard , and it was. Gud geim.
