I believe the ending is the best I’ve seen, and I’m about to begin Bioshock: Infinite. Some people still say skip Bioshock 2, but honestly, I enjoy this game more than Bioshock 1. The way it connects with Elanor, the depth of choices, the combat, and the themes about freedom all make it exceptional. I still appreciate Bioshock 1, especially its messages about liberty and choice, but I find it hard to understand why people dislike Bioshock 2.

Many felt let down because it didn’t live up to expectations. I personally didn’t enjoy it, though I might revisit it for confirmation. I also really disliked Infinite.

I experienced a strong reaction to playing half of Bioshock 1—it really shook me. I won't play it again.

I enjoyed both 1 and 2, but keep in mind Infinite stands alone without connection to the rest of the series. --- If you want something equally great, check out Mass Effect or The Witcher — they offer the best storytelling to date.

It's reassuring to know you're not making assumptions about the stories. After experiencing Bioshock 2, I'm skeptical about how Infinite will deliver on both narrative and emotional impact. I definitely want to give Mass Effect a try, though I dislike the requirement for an Origin account. The ending of the final game was disappointing, but I'm still planning to play the series eventually. For Witcher, I own the first two but need a solution for controller play. It seems gamepad support isn't available.

I tried them using my Xbox 360 controller (2,3). There’s no option to play it with a controller, and the combat feels a bit outdated. The ending of Infinite is still pretty solid, though maybe a bit predictable.

I didn’t expect Elanor to be the big sister I was battling at first, and I thought she’d just follow me all the way through. It turned out to be too obvious. Should I skip Witcher 1? Am I leaving something crucial behind?

They’re all essential to the narrative (you can save progress between sessions to keep your options open). You’ll face consequences early on, which really adds depth.

Are you taking this seriously? That's incredible—I've always wanted that more common in games (I've only seen save transfers implemented in very few). I believe the same applies to Mass Effect, correct? I heard you can transfer your saved character, which really makes it feel like "Oh yeah, it's still me continuing the story." Well, if that's the case, I guess I'll have to adapt to KBM controls for Witcher 1 then.

Seriously, the games are adapted from a book series. If you love the games a lot—like how Witcher 3 took me over 100 hours without the DLC (about 25+ more each)—you can dive into the books for deeper character backstories. Plus, there’s something comforting about moving anything that reacts slightly. Almost every interaction offers multiple options, which boosts replay value. I finished three and immediately jumped into another Witcher 3 game to try a different approach.
