Looks like Irrational Games studio is shutting down, so that the core team can focus on games with more replayability (still within Take-Two).
I call bullshit on that one.
Ken probably wants to stroke his own ego even further.

I felt relief and happiness when I realised I did not want Bioshock 2. I was free. After that, Infinite and Thief 4 were even easier to ignore.

Literally just looking at a screenshot, the game turns me away with its mediocrity and bland engine. Same like with CoD or Mass Effect, I feel zero desire to play them. I have ascended.
This DLC is really interesting. Not in a way that will make any of you suddenly like the game, surely, but it really is trying to be Thief all of a sudden, which is odd. How many DLCs try and change the main mechanics of the core game?
The areas are rather small, though larger and less linear than the main game by some fraction. You get an invisibility thing right off the bat which makes difficulty rather low. It's interesting though.

from oxforddictionaries.com
I hope you didn't mean the nonsensical and fake Einstein quote
So, in last DLC...
You play as weak female character (Elizabeth) who tries to understand what the fuck is going on with her
She dies from three hits from regular enemy or two shots, on normal difficulty
She can carry more than two weapons (uh... three, and that magnetic hook, so I guess it's four), including crossbow from Deus Ex
There are stealth elements in game, invulnerable enemies (she can't kill Big Daddy who patrols the area), carpets muffle sound, glass shards make noise like in Thief 4, you can use alarm bolts from crossbow to distract enemies
Lockpicks and turrets are back, and you can only carry very little ammo, and some medkits
...WHAT THE FUCK LEVINE HAS BEEN DOING ALL THAT TIME? If original Bioshock Infinite had at least this level of gameplay, it wouldn't be shit!
Sure, there is quest compass, there are powerful plasmids, and enemies are dumb... but it's not that kind of dumb which was main game. What the f
I don't even
Uh, fuck it.
.....I still don't understand the plot though. Well, aside from obvious stuff which you see on screen (Would You Kindly ect.).

Hardly, imagine Bioshock if it only had 3 areas and mandatory stealth, plus the lock-picking minigame seems to be ass.
Plus story seems shit, its just a attempt to link Infinity to Bioshock that I suppose it does but its more in the line "you die at the end" were apparently the only one not fucked over was the first Bioshock protagonist, everyone else after gets fucked right at the end.
The only plus is seeing how awesome does the first Bioshock protagonist actually looks with his impeccable fashion sense.
The lockpick minigame isn't ass, in fact it barely exists. Press 'E' when the pick isn't below a red pin, it takes like two seconds.
Some of the areas are larger, and the stealth is decent though too easy with the invisible plasmid. I was surprised how many enemies were in water or behind glass though, limiting your ability to sneak up on them. Also despite the areas being rather large and non-linear at times I got the feeling whenever I explored off-the-path that I was in areas I would be sent to directly in the future. Complaints Elizabeth dies too fast seem weird to me, it was billed as a stealth expansion from the get-go. Also I definitely switched to guns a couple times when I was caught and managed to kill everyone alright. I did hate that enemies respawn though, like in all Bioshock games. I like clearing rooms in stealth games and then walking around freely, can't do that here.
Anyway, "good for what it is" is this game's mantra and the DLC doesn't change that really. It's probably more interesting though.
I'd finish it but I'm hooked on Might and Magic X now.
