Why you gotta be so mean and hurtful?
Everything I've heard about the hard mode is that it increases how many bullets it takes to kill bad guys. I hate that kind of 'hard' mode; I'd prefer to have more enemies, better AI, limited resources etc, but it's easier to just increase baddies HP.
And the combat has improved a bit the further on in the game I got. I can't just melee everybody in one hit now but using Charge and a shotgun for up close and a hand cannon at a distance seems to be the obvious solution for everyone.
It's definitely personal preference, as most people enjoyed Binfinite. I do love good story-driven games. System Shock 2, Deus Ex, Mass Effect, Bioshock 1 etc. It's not that, and I'm not completely hating on Bioshock Infinite, just that there are so many missed opportunities.
My complaints are all with the game design: removing player agency; a completely empty world once the actual game starts; whichever faction I'm fighting feels the same; I'm moved from one scene to another to advance the plot rather than feeling like I'm doing it myself; and levels that involve going all the way down to the basement/back room/whatever and then walking all the way back out with a slightly different scene.
I think it could have been done better and I'm disappointed that the franchise has turned into the M. Night Shyamalan of games.
But it's cool, Ed. We'll always have Fallout.
