BioShock : Infinite
The NON-RAPTURE follow-on game calling itself " BioShock ".
Released 2013
Infinite BS Boiled Down : The makers just copied BioShock, did it badly, with nonsensical technology, and created a misfit to 'America' anything. It had 'over-explained' farcical science/society/history. It WAS a poor Fantasy environment with poor gameplay (and a whole lot of lost potential). Considered by many as a taint on the BioShock genre. There was lots of Talk by the people who made it, but in the end it was just Making a Buck 'milking the brand' (and a FAILZ at that).
Its
- A Super-Duper Flying Police State, with SteamPunk monstrocities, and a weird faux-religious cultism.
- Hardly historic (American or otherwise), nor Nostalgic (Songs from the future extinguishes any nostalgic representation).
- Too much magical and inconsistent fake science. Ludicrous 'technology'.
- Has A Giant Parakeet in a Gimp Suit, pretending to be a Big Daddy. Relegated to Cut Scenes.
- IS a gobble-dee-gook story, hastily restitched together after too many obvious rewrites.
- Is Cloning of the previous games' elements, done BADLY - magic potions 'Vigors' cloning Plasmids without any explanation.
- Has Weak pretentious haphazard Social Commentary, pushed into the Player's face (in between gun battles).
- Looks like A flying Coney Island[1], pretending to be a City (Complete with a purpose built 'poor' people section, and Racist E-Ride attractions).
- Has An incoherent plot, which left most players saying : "Just get me back to shooting things"
BaSx
Burial at Sea ( x episodes BaS1 and BaS2) (DLC for Infinite BS set in Rapture)
A return to Rapture by characters from Infinite BS's Columbia, and incorporating/continuing its bad Fantasy aspects now applied to the environment of the previous two games.
Novel
The Novel called "BioShock: Rapture", by John Shirley, 2011
BS4
The Frequently talked about BioShock 4 - starting based on reports from 2K/Rockstar (Probably after the distaste of Infinite BS's mediocre showing has had time to dissipate).
Ken Levine most likely WONT be involved.
Their has been the usual fan speculation on forums about what it would contain.
- ↑ A famous large old entertainment/carnival park near New York City on Long Island. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coney_Island
- ↑ Estimates of production costs for BioShock:Infinite with other estimates with a possible a further $100 million for advertising and promotional and distribution costs
- ↑ a popular old boardgame meant for 3-5 year olds

Fantasy ? ? ? I Andrew Ryan Reject This !!!
Is not the Player due a proper Sci-Fi game paid for by the $60 Sweat of their Brow ??? The Game Companies say " NOOOOOOOOO ! The players will eat whatever rubbish we set before them !! "
"SO I left the Parasites and created "BioShock: Rapture Reborn" , a MMORPG place where the Player will FEEL they are in a real 'World Under the Sea', and the Players IMAGINATION will Pull The Great Chain !!! ..... "

WHY DO I BOTHER ?
Because I WANT computer games to be better than what we typically get from the Game Industry, and perhaps by pointing out ClapTrap like BioShock Infinite, strong criticisms being voiced might serve to SHAME the makers of such substandard games, and MIGHT cause them to DO BETTER in Future.

Final Disclaimer : I am aware that various Fanbois think any kind of negative or different comments about BioShock makes me a "Poo Poo Head" ( in their minds ), and they feel fully justified in their 'Being So Offended' by my contrary ideas, and for their fervent wish to Silence anyone talking/thinking expressing such things ...
But I don't give a Rodents Rectum about such small-mindedness and slavish infantile infatuation with a game ( or its writers ), Nor for those who merely complain-whine out of their own Attention Whoring mental issues.
