yeah its kinda weird that someone would act like Bioshock infinite is the type of game where you go around slow and take your time when it definitely is not lol.
Series' like fallout (3, new vegas, etc.) or elder scrolls (oblivion, skyrim, etc.) are games that you take slow and take your time reading things. They have an open world with tons of side quests that relate to the main story and your choices make a difference. Another example would be the Mass Effect series.
Bioshock infinite is actually the opposite. You have very little choice to explore, and most rooms contain little more than health/ammo with the occassional (and forgettable) upgrade.
There's no real sense of urgency or anything either as health kits, ammo caches, and super inexpensive shops (to buy supplies at) are basically everywhere. Without the arrow to tell you what direction to go its pretty easy to get lost and go in circles too seeing as basically every area you go to is just a rehashed version of the same colour schemes and design types in each "new" area lol
This is one of those games that casual gamers that have beaten maybe 2 or 3 games in their life, see as a masterpiece because it was so linear, easy, and simple (and therefore fun for the casual/unskilled gamer). The don't realize what a game can offer these days, so they think this makes the cut as a masterpiece since they did not often feel frustrated while playing.
If you find this game boring, it because you know games and have seen it all before too many times. There is nothing in this game that warrants a second playthrough either. That is basically blasphemy as there isnt even an online element to it.
The story is forgettable too. If a game cant pull you into the story without having to find, stop and listen to audio files, then its done wrong. It means they added the story as an afterthought.
There are elements that trick casual gamers into thinking this game is unique. Like the underused skyline. It is barely used, and you could go through the game and only use it a dozen times, but the fact that its there, tricks noobs into thinking its "fun" or "unique" lol.
