All the other choices just forced me to second guess myself constantly each time there was an opportunity to buy upgrades. I used the Carbine (rifle) and shotgun almost exclusively throughout the whole game - only occasionally grabbing one of the heavy weapons if dropped by an enemy – and managed perfectly well, particularly as a good aim meant that most heads could be popped from miles away. It's not just the breadth of weaponry on offer, though, it's also that they don't actually seem to make much difference. With all these weapons also each having several upgrades, it's a bewildering array. The standard selection of pistol, shotgun, rifle, RPG, Magnum (in all but name), machine gun and sniper rifle are fine but then we have the Heater, the Burstgun, the Crank Gun, the Volley, the Repeater and the Hail Fire. This one takes a little while to manifest itself but by three or four hours into the game it's utterly fatiguing having to decide which guns to use. Just for NPCs to jostle about or come up with a few stock phrases when you interact with them, and for there to be a little more freedom in where you can and can't go in the game world.ĭrop the weapon(s)! – Reduce the weapon count What's more, games set in wildernesses or in worlds where all you ever encounter are aliens can get away with this but in a game world that is constantly filled with supposedly normal human beings it is completely game breaking. Not to suggest that the game has to be a complete sandbox but the level to which Bioshock Infinite has divested itself of interactivity makes it feel positively archaic. It's not just the NPCs, the world itself is full of forced limits that stop you being able to explore it to any greater depth than standing back and taking in the view. Violence will get them going but aside from that only every now and then if the script is set will stealing invoke a response. Run into an NPC, jump on its head, run into its shop, go behind the counter and empty the register, and you'll got nothing more than, well anything. It is incredibly jarring to be faced with one of the finest looking game worlds ever created then find that NPC characters don't respond to you, except in the most scripted of circumstances. Columbia is a beautifully realised world visually but that beauty really is only skin deep. The single most overwhelming disappointment in Bioshock Infinite's gameplay is how un-reactive the world is. Hello, is it me you're talking to? – Better NPC interaction Spoiler alert: While I don't explicitly reveal any key story elements in this extended blog/feature, many facets of the game are touched upon so those wishing to play the game blind may not want to read on. Rather than follow in the footsteps of the games narrative style, though - I don't want to drip feed the story of what went wrong - I feel a list coming on. But, while genuinely stunning as a piece of art, as a game it is deeply, deeply flawed. Its introspective exploration of player – and indeed human – autonomy in a multiverse is breathtaking. After you get Bucking Bronco, you can use this to both take him out quickly and completely avoid his self-destruct attack.Bioshock Infinite is one of the most stunning examples of game story-telling that I've witnessed. You’ll slow him down with every shot, so make sure you keep unloading on him until he explodes. Early in the game, keep firing at him even once he starts running toward you, since you won’t be able to do much to stop him. Be careful once you have the Fireman near death-he’ll charge at you and then self-destruct, causing big damage while wiping himself out. Once you get used to his methods of attack, bait him into exploding by moving close, then backpedal while firing at him to stop him from throwing fireballs. To take a Fireman out, keep aiming at his head while moving from side to side to avoid the attacks he throws at you. Then, move backwards out of his range to fire at him. You can bait this attack by moving close to the Fireman, causing him to stop and charge up. Before this attack occurs, the Fireman glows brighter and brighter before exploding. This explosion has enormous range, so even if you dodge the initial fireball, run as fast as you can to get away from it! If you get too close, the Fireman attacks with a close-range explosive attack. While these fireballs are slow and easy to avoid, they explode shortly after hitting the ground, damaging anything nearby. The Fireman generally attacks by throwing Devil’s Kiss projectiles at you. They use the Devil’s Kiss Vigor in combat, allowing them to attack you with the fire that surrounds them. These heavy hitter enemies are trapped in iron maiden-like devices that are constantly burning them for their wrongdoings in life.
