I hope you know I beat Dark Souls. I'm also one that prefers a challenge...which is why I play on easy as even on easy I get a challenge. The only subversion was Dragon Age: Origins, casual was too easy. I went to nightmare and still steamrolled everyone...I blame my character build.
Yeah, I pre-ordered on PSN and got to download it right away. It's on the disk with the physical version.
You should be the keynote speaker in every "Dark Souls easy mode plz" thread.

Shawn, are you able to confirm if this difference I've experienced is deliberate or a bug please? I got both versions from SimplyGames in the UK yesterday (as I couldn't decide which version to buy <sigh>), and whilst I'm continuing my playthrough on the PS3 it would be good to know what's going on there.
The game is awesome, and zipping around on the skyhook is absolutely amazing.

That reminds me, not sure if there will be any driver updates right before unlock.
Did you do the AMD bundle where the video card comes with bioshock infinite?

Outside the impound when you have to destroy the rockets, before opening the tear that removes the guns.

By no means do I intened to sound like an ass.
But does anyone else see the humor in this?
I make mistakes all the time, and hate it when I leave a word or two out which tends to happen when I'm using my phone.
OT: I should be finishing my Bioshock 2 playthrough later today. I haven't played it since release and it runs so well on PC. I took Monday and Tuesday off of work to play Infinite. Though, judging by the download size it'll be a while after unlock even with the preload. But, I live in Hawaii so it unlocks at 1800 for me which means I'll be able to play around 1930ish after I am done downloading the rest of the game.
Since you have both versions, any conclusive comparisons on graphics?

So is normal too easy? I wanna focus on the story on my first playthrough but I don't have fun without challenge. Would appreciate some input, thanks.
Having very few problems on PS3 too. Superior version confirmed?
Is the game HD w/ no AA like most UE games on PS3?
No, it looks silky smooth!
Considering how there's nothing incorrect with what I said... I think you might be on your lonesome. But thanks for your feedback, we take it very seriously.

I posted a few impressions earlier. I'm no expert but this is what I've experienced in the first 90 minutes on both copies.
360: Barely tears, drops frames with v-sync locked. More aggressive AA.
PS3: Tears occasionally with v-sync locked, doesn't seem to drop frames like the 360. Slightly more crisp in a side-by-side (different AA?).
I need to pick a version, trade the other and play the damn game though

What does the 1999 mode do exactly?
System Shock 2 HD.
You get both credit and cashback? Seems like you pick between the two.

The life of a multi-console owner is a rough one indeed. Been going back and forth between which version I'm gonna get. Currently I'm at 360 lol.
Nah I've had AMD/ATI on my last two computers and I'm done dealing with their drivers. I went with the GMG cash back deal with bioshock,Xcom and civ 5.
Short question: I've replayed Bioshock a month ago, then a few weeks later System Shock 2 and System Shock last just this friday.
I haven't played BioShock 2 at all, just the first 10 minutes or so, right after BioShock, before feeling the "series fatigue" mentioned in the OP.
Should i play BioShock 2 before Infinite? I fear i will "miss" something, not particularly story-wise, but also on the mechanics side.
On the other side, i don't want to experience "series fatigue" again.
Help, guys. :/

I've already canvassed, none are getting it before Monday.
Though if I overlooked a place, I'd appreciate a PM also.

Eh, I've been gaming my whole life. I've just never been brilliant at it. It's called ability or more like, lack of.
I'm pretty much the Titus Bramble of gaming.

BioShock 2's best effort was in the gameplay department. It reconsidered some of the quirks in the original. For instance, ammo switching is instantaneous, and hacking was tied to a real-time reaction mini game. The research camera was replaced with a video device. Instead of catching a single moment, you try to produce a series of destructive acts to rack the highest score. It was a nice change.
The story and level design aren't up to snuff -- all in my opinion, of course. Overall, the corridors were more winding and disorienting. The story was certainly above average, but comes off as an attempt at mirroring the successes of the first game. Some of the side stories tied to the audio logs were nice.
It's not a necessary play, nor a bad one. If you have a little time post-Infinite, I recommend it.
Don't put yourself down so much. You cannot possibly be THAT bad.
I have no idea on that sorry.

I hope everyone realizes I'm being sarcastic.
I only played BioShock 2 through once but I remember enjoying most of the levels as much as the original. Fontaine Futuristics was FANTASTIC.

Going to Gamestop before work to throw down a pre-order.
Still can't decide between Limited or Songbird edition.
Going to grab the season pass as well, so I can get $20 off the limited edition guide.

I am pretty sure you get both because there was no option to pick between the two. It said the cashback will be applied couple days after the game is out.
Brah, no chance they'll have Songbirds left. Try and grab an extra at midnight, that would be your best bet.Going to Gamestop before work to throw down a pre-order.

You can only choose one in the checkout.
Where are you located? On checkout I'm getting the choice between the two (US).
Canada. Maybe I missed it.
In any case it is still the best deal around. You can get the season pass for $4 using the credit.

I would almost be relieved if that were the case. Would make my decision easier. =P

I'm wondering this also.

Why the long case?
That's right.
