Ken Levine says BioShock nearly went nowhere and was almost canceled: "We can't make those games because they don't sell" (www.gamesradar.com)

I really didn’t care for the changes made to Bioshock Infinite to make it appeal to a wider base. I got maybe a third into it and stopped. Loved Bioshock 1 & 2 though.

I have to disagree. Personally I liked that Infinite felt fresh. I loved 1 and Infinite. I didn't get too far into 2. It just felt like 1 but worse.

Ya 2 felt like the panburger partner of BioShock

i started and abandoned 2 so many times. i just play like an hour and keep thinking "is this going anywhere" before uninstalling again

I don’t disagree, but I still liked it much more than Infinite. I didn’t care for the art style of Infinite, the social commentary didn’t land for me, and the guns weren’t fun to use. I know a lot of people liked it, but it wasn’t for me. It’s been a long time so maybe I need to revisit it.

I pirated it and still felt ripped off. When people were praising the nonsense plot when it first came out it felt like I was taking crazy pills

The fact that they both sides'd a slave uprising got buried in that 2deep4me multiple timelines bullshit

I really didn't care for the changes made to Bioshock to make it appeal to a wider base. Loved System Shock 2, though.
