I think Bioshock Infinite is goddamn awful. Behind some pseudo-intellectual "smart game for smart people" promo, it was an unabashed theme park shooter and accomplished what it set out to do just fine.
The game deserves credit in hiding this complete lack of depth very well between gorgeous, colorful art direction and a steady stream of character upgrades, your attention was diverted away from everything being the same thanks to this constant introduction of new elements. There is hardly any depth to it while one tier over your standard console shooter, it still remains a trite walk forward, defeat all enemies in arena, move to next arena model where every fight plays out the same way, because all you do is use best currently available ability, point gun at bad guy, hide behind cover when in trouble. The answer lies in your own arguments: you say the shooting is good, but you are unable to formulate why it is good. As I said before, the weapons have their own personalities, so the player must think proper strategies for each situations. For example, you need to use Murder of Crows while you're fighting against Handyman since it's the only effective vigor against them. Not to mention that you need to use your vigors wisely, depending on the monsters you're dealing with. Vigors also made the combat even more interesting, although I use Shock Jockey a lot since it helped me to aim their head easily with no counter attack from them. Thankfully, there are various weapons lying around the field, so you can pick one whatever you want. In combat, you need to choose your weapons wisely to deal with enemies. I know that some weapons have poor ammo capacity, but it was nice to have a companion girl who offered me ammunition, healthpacks, salt, and even friendly mechanics from other world. I picked them whenever I have no other options. Powerful and accurate: Hand Cannon, Carbine(#1 favorite), Sniper Rifle For close combat situation only: Shotgun Rapid Firing: Pistol, Machine Gun, Repeater(#2 favorite), Crank Gun Despite the fact that I can only handle two weapons(and a sky-hook), the weapons have their unique personalities, and I categorized them with following characteristics:
In my case, I didn't hate the shooting part of Bioshock Infinite.
