@Th3solution Since you say you don't normally replay games as a rule, it probably won't be worth trying to replay either 1 or Infinite. I'd say F! You can finally play Burial at Sea (which I also have yet to do), and if you're still longing for more BioShock after that you can always try 2.
@KALofKRYPTON Alright, one vote for the BioShock combo meal — some of everything. Not sure my stomach can tolerate that much BioShock, but duly noted.
@Tjuz F) was my initial plan as well, as I’m champing at the bit to see what all the fuss is about with regards to the DLC. My hesitation is that full appreciation might depend upon remembering the details of the storyline. I know there is parts of the DLC that go back to Rapture and Elizabeth is a main character in the DLC. As mind blowing and complex as the narrative is in these games, I wonder if I’ll feel lost by jumping straight into the DLC.

@Th3solution Bascially, Burial at Sea ties the two “main” games together really well. If you remember those stories well enough, just play that (or find an online refresher).
Bioshock 2 is fine and mostly expands on the whole Big Daddy and Little Sister thing. It’s fine but much more forgettable than the other two (I had to look at wiki to remind myself of most of the details).
Haha! Alright.
Glad to see @JohnnyShoulder wants me to become a statistic.
And @RogerRoger apparently has a thought outside the box. I can only imagine what that might be. @mookysam is clearly adept at multiple choice standardized test taking techniques. @Thrillho Thank you, sir. That makes sense. I might do the YouTube review first and then do Burial at Sea if I feel confident. Do you remember how long the DLC is? Is it pretty meaty?
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Well I figure the correct answer has to be one of them so you can't really go wrong by covering all bases, right?
Burial at Sea Part 1 is fairly short - around 1 - 2 hours, while Episode 2 is around 6 if you do everything. Episode 2 sees you play as Elizabeth, but relying on stealth. It's really quite good. I'd still recommend playing all of them, but maybe not one right after the other in case you get BioShockitis and burn out.
@Th3solution I'm asking myself a similar question about the series. I don't know whether to replay the original and then play Bioshock 2, or to just get stuck straight into Infinite.
As for your quandary, I'd go for (F). Burial at Sea is DLC, so it'll be the shorter experience, which means there's less chance of getting burned out on the series. You don't want to play Bioshock 2 and then put the DLC for one of your favourite ever games on the back burner
EDIT I've just realised @mookysam has pretty much said what I said, but better, and quicker
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy A kindred spirit! I borderline hate Infinite, finding the story overblown and the power thingys were pointless. The whole game felt like you were being funnelled down a strict path despite the illusion of this vast city above the clouds, with lots to see.
I've not played BioShock 2 either nor the DLC for Infinite. Preferred infinite over the first game as thought it was an overall better paced game. The final third (after the twist) of the first game really dragged for me.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@Th3solution I say this having barely played any Bioshock games, but my ongoing run through the Uncharted series has me motivated to actually go back and play the stuff I keep telling myself I'd like to play again or skipped entirely.

@KALofKRYPTON Yeah, I thought about that when you suggested that I just start at the beginning and play them all - how you are doing that with the Uncharted collection, which is even a bigger commitment with the 6 games. It does sound like you’re really enjoying that. And I have considered doing an Uncharted re-play as well. Since it’s been so long for some of those, I bet I would enjoy refreshing some memories and playing with a new perspective. I guess the time investment is what I shirk from, especially when there are so many new games still left to be played for me.
It’s kinda like when you go to a favorite restaurant, do you order the tried-and-true dish that you’ve had before and you know you’ll love, or do you pick out something new on the menu that sounds good for a new experience — I tend to do both at times, depending on my mood. Usually, the way it turns out, if the restaurant is good enough then everything on the menu tastes great anyways! 😃

Going to put this here, although it’s a bit more general...
There was a time when PS+ gave us Vita games and when I was browsing through my download list Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma caught my interest. I know a lot of you passionately love this series so that’s why I come to you for advice.
Doing research it quickly became clear that I need to play The Nonary Games first. One problem: I really really really want to play this on the Vita but the price is way too steep and almost never goes on sale. The PS4 version is currently on sale (EUR 12,99).
Questions: Does this work on a tv-screen? Could it work via remote play? And worst case: Could I play ZTD first?
@JJ-firl Absolutely no no no don’t play ZTD first. I mean, this is coming from someone who loves the first two, played 40 minutes of ZTD and then had a heart attack over the awful twists and never played it again. Don’t put too much stock in what I have to say 😂😂
