I find it odd to see such pessimism towards a game like this. Its fair to say that the gameplay might not have the visceral feel of say a Killzone or COD game but its far from being bad. The thing is is that games like Bioshock Infinite have so much going for them that having an area or two that is weak doesn't make the game bad as a whole.

I value games that include strong stories and interesting enviorments to explore, which is why Bioshock Infinite seems like an immediate purchase. Plus ya know what, I think the gameplay looks fine. That stuff on the skylines looks awesome. Simply exploring the world looks fun as well.

Watching Bioshock Infinite reminds me of games like System Shock 2 and Deus Ex (makes sense seeing as they're all first person RPG's) in that the gameplay is notably weak but the rest of the game such as the narrative is very strong. Its a shame you lot can't appreciate games like that.
