Well then. Apparently you didn't play Bioshock. Did you use a google search to develop your points here?
I own both Bioshock 1 and 2 on steam, Bioshock 1 I pre-ordered and played on day 0 (and by day 0 I mean day -2 because in the UK while you could pre-load the game on day 0, you couldn't actually play the game until 2 days later!)
Purely from memory the FOV fix via the ini file failed on several occasions, during level transitions, during zoom in/out of the weapons, possibly with re-load of saves, it was a fucking mess that presented nothing but problems throughout the entire game. In fact if I remember correct the ini tweak was only possible after the patch, pre-patch I think we had to use the FOV fixer exe from WSGF - I distinctly remember Ken making a public announcement to the fix author that if they stepped forward he'd buy them a graphics card for their service.
The mouse acceleration was most definitely enabled pre-patch, again I'm not sure if that was fixed in the patch, either way the patch was something like 12-18 months after the launch (inexcusable). If you're claiming the game didn't have extremely strong mouse acceleration on at launch then I think it's probably you who hasn't played the game! No it wasn't windows/driver acceleration.
I'm not sure about GFWL, it might have been Bioshock 2, I'm struggling to remember I've not played either in a long time, I vividly remember having several game breaking issues with GFWL and Bioshock, it's possible you're right that it may have been the sequel.
I'm not a "bandwagon" hater, in fact I'd describe bioshock generally as a "flawed masterpiece" which is a phrase I nicked from someone else years ago. While the game was very good on a lot of levels it was also frustratingly flawed, the FOV and Mouse acceleration issues while trivial to some are actually headache inducing and are pervasive throughout the entire game.
Furthermore FORCING the UK/EU gamers to wait 2 days before they could play, despite actually having the game pre-orderd and pre-loaded, sitting on their hard drive ready to play was inexcusable.
It is possible to take legitimate issue with these kind of problems without being a "bandwagon hater", and if they've fixed all of these things with Infinite then GREAT, it will be a day 1 purchase for me without a doubt
