Oh God, this tip would really have made things a lot easier for me. Can't believe I didn't think of it myself. I was always in such a rush to wrench them once they got zapped.

The Frozen Blast plasmid wouldve worked too =P

I wonder if there is going to be any sort of upgrades or tonics for your SkyHook? The wrench in Bio1 had some great tonics you could use with it. Using it to freeze foes was awesome.

I only ask because I dislike the camera system, and rather not deal with it again.

The audio logs are...completely illogical, but they do add texture to the world, and I can still move around the world while they're playing, so they're cool.

I might be crazy but I faintly recall reading that the audio logs in this one actually stop the action rather than playing in the background. Possibly because Liz and Booker have a lot dialogue that is triggered by exploration that would either overlap or be omitted if a diary was playing?

I agree that what they add to the experience is worth the goofy conceit that people record monologues and they end up in the toilet or wherever.

I do hope they didn't remove the
quasi time travel stuff. I really, really dug the "tears for fears" tear section
from the 2011 demo. I hope they take that even further in the full game.

Normal first playthrough for that Ken magic and gawking at the sites and a second on 1999 mode to stroke my e-peen. Probably the only big game I'm excited for this year.

What shops do you mean? :) I might be interested if they offer the English 360 version.

Edit: Nevermind, found a shop and it's too expensive and there's no info if it'll have English voices. I can wait a week.

Dunno if this was mentioned but if you pre-order the digital version from Amazon you get XCOM for free and $30 2K Games credit.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009SPZ11Q/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Pre-order "BioShock Infinite" and get "XCOM: Enemy Unknown" Free + $30 2K Games Credit + "BioShock Infinite: Mind in Revolt" for Kindle + "Industrial Revolution Pack"
Click to expand...

someone find out if the credit can be used on the Bioshock Infinite Season Pass

Also, in the E3 2011 video,
Elizabeth opens a tear to the 1980's, where 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' by Tears for Fears is playing in the background
Click to expand...

Every time I think I'm not sure that I actually want Infinite, I think about this video. I'm dying to know what the deal is with all this.

Also, if someone could tell me, (Feel free to spoiler tag if you feel it's appropriate,) does Elizabeth actually wear the blue outfit from all the art? Seems like she's been in a different outfit in the last few things I've seen on the game.

Got a code for this and Crysis 3 Hunter Edition with my new graphics card. Pleasant surprise but I don't know if I should sell it or not? I enjoyed the first one but I honestly don't see why everyone's so hyped for this...am I missing something besides "its a new bioshock game"?

I think the
anachronisitic stuff[
in Infinite is the most interesting thing about it. It allows the game potential to expand in directions that most FPS titles can't. Toss
overt racism
on top of that and you've got yourself one hell of an interesting cocktail

I assume the xcom code will come via email?

I bought the game before it hit 100% on the last tier, but I assume they're not going to screw the people over that helped get them to that level..

I'm surprise this thread isn't like the Skyward Sword thread where if you don't show a physical copy before release date and had impressions you were banned.

There are a lot of passionate fans.

Some are waiting for the second coming of SS2 (it's 1999 mode is supposed to bridge that gap) but a lot, including myself, love the art style, story telling, the world building and atmosphere that the same (ish) team created in the first Bioshock.
