One month from today: BioShock Infinite

Almost certainly. The numbers have jumped up considerably in the last few days.

I think it is rigged.

Grief.exe is right. I have been watching and in the past few days after hats unlocked it has been skyrocketing up. I think before it was going up 2-3% a day and then it started going up 10% a day. No doubt it will slow down a bit once it reaches 50 and then complete 3-4 days before the game releases.
 
Almost 10 days for me.

Yo, overnight me a copy. I want a Euro version =P

KIDDING

I cant wait to fucking get this (thats the protoype, so I'm expecting something smaller, but nonetheless):

what's so good about minerva's den? I've been asking such on the steam thread and I can't get an answer. already beaten it and I dunno, it's classic bioshock goodie, but please direct me to what's so marvelous about it.

- It tells a great little self-contained, ultra-focused story with a perfect ending
- It delves into the philosophy of artificial intelligence in interesting ways
- The nature of and reasoning behind Porter and Wahl's diametrically opposed views on the matter is intriguing, and Porter's musings in particular are always enjoyable to listen to, and often touching
- It's well-paced and doesn't wear out its welcome
- Its combat is more immediately and consistently enjoyable as you get access to a wide variety of plasmids, tonics, and weapons early on, and the new toys and baddies are fun

It's ideal DLC. Taken as a whole I think it's a lot more successful than either of the main Bioshock games. Similarly to some of the better New Vegas DLC like Old World Blues, the devs used the idea of post-release content to take a stab at doing something strange and creative with their setting, and it worked very well.

I guess those two just didn't click with me. I'll probably give it a replay someday and love it.

it's how I work

That's cool I rarely drink but Bucking Bronco sounds cool but that's one of my favorite vigors.
 
I'm so glad that I was able to get a PS3 copy of the Songbird Edition from GS when they reopened reserves yesterday. They seem to be out of them again. I suck at FPS's and I'm super nervous about the fast pace gameplay but I'm really excited about getting it! From the story (we know so far), the art design and the past stories presented in the original Bioshock, I can't wait to jump into the mysterious world of Columbia.
 
So I'm assuming you can be neutral?

Bookers a guy with demons. He lands in this world witnessing two strange factions going to war against each other. He'd be just as neutral as you or I when we first witness situations in Columbia. Not knowing what the hell is going on, but wanting to find out what the hell is going on at the same time. There are definitely choice situations placed to you in the game that seem more morality/integrity based more than anything, but the choices you make for sure have consequences with them.

God damn people will get wasted at that party.

Ill take a Bronco and a Charge pls.

Agreed on all this. Minerva's Den was amazing.

Welcome to the Revolution.
 
Every time I see this I just get upset it's not the actual cover of the game.

But that cover doesnt attract the fratboys and shootbangers =P

In the OT I made a section of shit Ken says that explain things like why the cover is what it is. It's straightforward, to the point and logical as fuck. As always.
 
Neutral in what? It doesn't seem like you would support one side of the war or another. The rebels want her dead and the founders wants her captured. They both seem to be your enemies.

Pure assumption on my part. When watching that E3 demo from last year where you can stop an execution from happening.

Which goes back to what I said about decisions seemingly based on morality (practically personal basically) more than anything.

Just pre ordered on Steam and the original Bioshock instantly started downloading. Glad I could contribute to hopefully getting XCOM. What sold me on Infinite were the Modern Day Icarus trailers. In my 30 years of gaming those are the best trailers I have ever seen.
 
Thread Announcement:

To the one person who said that he'll give me $15 for XCom, can you please send me another PM that identifies yourself because I accidentally wiped my private messages. whoops >_>
 
That's the best i could found for now. I mean it's not a wallpaper but it shows the picture nicely.

I kinda wish this were the alternate cover. But the current alternate is good nonetheless.
 
If people think they're going to receive chastising for displaying a burning American flag, imagine what THAT woud spurn.

The ponies? Who knows. It would probably sell more.

I mean they look so badass. The Purple One is holding a Mauser.

Nope, the other piece of artwork, but I'd like to think of the frothing that would be corralled from enthusiasts if the pony picture was the alternative cover.
 
Yeah upon closer inspection, I dont think the banner requesting rejection of foreign hordes would get the green light from the public..
 
Might as well start a pool.

Ive been waiting for this game since its fucking inception. Im lucky enough to still be able to get this psyched up about releases. This is like waiting for Mario 3 all over again for me basically.
 
We should do these "one month until" threads more often. Of course this one is staying afloat no thanks to somebody's constant posting, but nonetheless it's nice to have a place to discuss the game when the hype is the highest.
