History YMMV / BioShockInfinite

** Add the Sirens to that list as well.

** The addition of RegeneratingHealth and removal of the HyperspaceArsenal has drawn criticism for making the game [[FollowTheLeader too similar to other FPS games]].

** Thankfully, the furor died down when [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_lLSOkZRgc the actual review]] went online which, despite the high score, dished out [[SceneryPorn pra]][[ArtificialBrilliance ise]] and [[{{Padding}} criti]][[YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle cism]] in equal measure.

*** Levine did some research for the Vox by attending Occupy Wall Street rallies. Make of that what you will.

* [EightPointEight]: "Only" got a 9.4/10 from IGN's exclusive early review.

** The more recent trailers offer a minor example, in that it tends to show Elizabeth in more "conventional" Edwardian-period attire compared to the OfCorsetsSexy look in earlier ones.

* {{Moe}}: Elizabeth's appearance and personality more or less fits this trope.

** There are also the fans of the first two games that flat-out ''refuse'' to play this installment, simply because Andrew Ryan, the Big Daddies/Little Sisters, Rapture, etc. that so defined the other two games are missing in this one, due to it being its own separate story.

* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: Ken Levine has claimed he is aiming to eliminate this, after seeing how prevalent it was in the original ''[=BioShock=]'': active powers ("Vigors") have only a set number of charges (the weakest Vigors have dozens of charges while the most powerful ones only have one or two) meaning the player can't stick with the same Vigor throught the game. Meanwhile, passive abilities ("Nostrums") come in two varieties: "unstable" or "potluck" Nostrums that force you to choose on the spot between 4 random upgrades and "stable" Nostrums that do [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Exactly What They Say On The Tin]]...but are much more expensive, meaning it will be much harder for the player to purposedly create an overpowered build along the lines of the "Wrench Ninja" from the previous game.
** The buttons to pick up weapons, Vigors & Nostrums and money are all different, seemingly to make the player stop and think about what they pick up, rather than mashing A/E/X to loot everything that isn't bolted down, as in the previous VideoGame/BioShock games.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: The game will apparently take on themes such as American Exceptionalism, as well as the racism and xenophobia of the late-19th and early 20th century America. [[WordOfGod Ken Levine]], however, [[http://gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/10/01/ken-levine-bioshock-infinite-is-not-about-the-tea-party.aspx denies]] claims that the game is a thinly veiled parody of the Tea Parties.

*** Levine did some research for the Vox by attending Occupy Wall Street rallies. It's likely that he took the concept and rammed it UpToEleven. Make of that what you will.

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: Oddly, in the form of a difficulty level, called "[[HarderThanHard 1999 difficulty]]", meant to [[GeorgeLucasThrowback replicate]] the NintendoHard difficulty and "once you've made a choice, you can't go back on it"-nature of games such as ''VideoGame/DeusEx'' and Irrational's own ''SystemShock2.''(which was released in 1999.)

** Some previews show that Vox Populi (which have the exact opposite ideology as the city's rulers) are just as bad, so it's more of a TakeThat at political extremism in general.
