Man I figured you mightve already seen it. Even I was like "What the hell is this?"

Is GMG the cheapest place to get the digital version of this at the moment?
I find myself ignoring the world and actual audio and staring at the subtitles way too much when they're there, so I usually try to play without. I find it more immersive!
It's hard to tell after last night where he was defending mass-dumbing down in games.
It was

I saw them all previously, but it just came out of nowhere. Its can be tough to tell whos being randomly sarcastic on here.
And Der, Dax is a chick yo.
Correct. Just as GLaDOS was a homage to Rosey from The Jetsons.
When is embargo up tomorrow? I'm getting antsy.
Yeah sound design in this game sucks. I don't care what other cool stuff you did with the effects or the music or whatever, if when I turn around the dialog volume drops from 100% to 5% your game is broken. This is not how it works in real life! I do not have to face a person to hear what they are saying.
Rest of the game is flat out amazing though. Except for the textures on 360. So awful. Good thing I'm switching to the PC version as soon as it unlocks. Anyone else still waiting for their AMD Never Settle code?

FINALLY got my code my GMG. Preloading now and entered my Fink bonuses code. Time to stock up for the 26th 
Are the textures between the two consoles equivalent?
Happens in way too many games. Really annoying problem that isn't raised to the devs enough.

What's the easiest and risk free way to unlock the game early via VPN?
I used spotflux to unlock Dishonored early, it was as simple as pressing a few buttons. I stayed in offline mode afterwards, just to be sure.
Big difference to me is I feel that I'm playing a standard FPS. I feel, in Bioshock 1 or 2, splicers are hanging around the Rapture and I encounter them but in Infinite, the enemies are placed on my path and wating for me to come. I don't know why I feel like this, level design or my playstyle makes me feel this way, I guess.
So is the majority of this games. It's just this one aspect that's flawed.
Well, the enemies in this game are the 'Police' so to speak who are actively trying to stop you, rather than simple inhabitants wandering around.
Dont fret if you dont finish. There arent any end game in game rewards. You can stop once youve passed level 12 and are awarded the weapon and additional

Sounds like a very specific issue, namely things going quiet if you turn away from them. It is annoying, I've noticed it in other games, but it's not an indictment of the game's entire sound design.
We'll see if headphones make a difference but for right now Im not buying it. Could be hyperbole and/or bullshit. We'll all know for ourselves soon enough anyway.

Stayed offline so Steam wouldn't detect the game or for other reasons?
I'm wanting to get back online after unlocking or not have to worry about being offline.
If you go back online after unlocking a game that's still locked in your native region after using a VPN, the game will "relock" and you won't be able to play it again until you go back in the VPN.
So you want to stay offline if you want to keep playing it.

waaaaaat so the level 59 rewards were just the twitter/facebook allegiance things? bah
Fink had some really weird pre-order bonuses. I suppose extra credits and such are fairly par for the course, but "increased sideways movement"?!?

I'm pretty that your only have to play through the first 12 puzzles in-order to unlock the in-game bonuses.

I dont consider them weird at all. In fact, the Handyman damage vigor and that strafe and backup speed increase one seem like they'd be pretty useful in 1999.
Oh, and here was me about to slog through all 59 of these levels now. Thanks for that.
34 hours here! (UK), Can't wait.

Damn, I stopped playing that Industrial Revolution minigame after 4 rounds. Guess I will hit it up later.

IGN has an annotated guide if you need it, but the puzzles are mostly laughable.

Looking forward to trade impressions with you Andrew. We will eat lots of sandwiches.
just finished it. great game overall with some problems: framerate on console hits unplayable levels towards the end, game focuses to much on uninteresting combat situations in the last third and the terrible framerate doesnt help. strangely, there are some huge open areas with tons of combat options that dont have any framerate issued. must be really bad optimisation or a bug.
if you have any questions, shoot.

The late night discussions will be absolutely balls to the wall fucking insane in here this week. and I mean that in the best, goodest way possible.
Spoiler thread will have to go up on Tuesday.

So with the HD textures, it's a 25 GB game right? I need to know if my poor Solid State has the room
How's the city look? Wasted on consoles, or still interesting to explore (guessing the latter...hopefully)?

I was going to post about not posting it until Tuesday as most of us don't have the game yet but thought it would be too arrogant or whatever. I think it's too soon to talk spoilers. We should just hold it until we can all digest things but Tuesday would have seemed like a better fit for a spoiler thread.
12GB for HD textures? I sure as hell hope the original textures get overwritten.
game looks great, some weak textures aside. its just the framerate in the first hour and last hour (or so). walking around in the city is amazing, much better realised than rapture.
but dont expect an open world city/world, its a linear game like bioshock but it gives you a bit of room to explore (its not a corridor shooter).

This is getting weirder all the time
Definitely, definitely the latter. Don't worry.
My biggest question, to anyone and everyone who's finished it, is does Elizabeth work? Does she ever get in the way, does she react how you expect? Do you care when she's in peril?
Everyone has been chasing doing that right, is this the one?
I've just been replaying the HL2s to get all the achievements, and the amount of times I screamed at Alyx during my no bullets playthru of EP1 was alarming.
