Neither have I.
I picked up over 20 hours in overtime at work. Earned enough for the season pass, the game, and much more.
Preorder has been placed. I'm ready for Tuesday.

Yeah, it's a joke for sure. I used the avatar for my twitch.tv profile.
Curious, those that completed the Industrial Revolution which side did you tend to give the items to?

I went back and forth but ended up siding with the Founders. Damn commie Vox Populi.

Why the long case?
I don't understand how some people can run through the different areas without looking at anything, or stopping to hear what npc's say. I am so glad I don't play games like an asshole.

Dude the arrow told me to go this way, so if I don't go it's like not how it wants me to play k?

I KINDA get this with such a story heavy game like this, though. Some people might even feel like they're in a race against time against spoilers. Just get the story done, know what happens, then go back and explore everything.

Some people really shouldn't make videos of gameplay.
This dude I am watching literally faces walls while people are talking. I am lucky if he stops and looks at something for more than a second.

Don't even get me started, I saw a video of some guy who said "If you played COD you played them all" and just ran as fast as possible.
So cringeworthy. I just wanted to see what other people thought of the game man T_T
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
I agree with one of the posts before that the game is the most beautiful in the beginning, but from what I have seen so far, there is a lot to look at, and many different people to listen to.
I know everyone enjoys content in a different way, but I don't see the point in buying a game like this, only to run past everything, and click any button without stopping to see what it does. I guess they could play through it again, and take more time, but isn't everything most exciting the first time around?

Hmm, got to the checkout with the proxy for the UK GMG site but it gets stuck at the paypal check out. Any UK gaffers want to make my night 
Would obviously paypal the money first.
Would obviously paypal the money first.Yeah overall presentation is incredible.
I was annoyed for about 5 minutes that this game was such a collectathon. Then I realized that's what actually disciplines me to explore every corner. And the overall experience is much better for it.
The save sustem for this game baffles me. Why can't we just have save files? I tried to start a new game to show things to a friend and got warnings about my last checkpoint being erased.
Now, to find my original progress file, I had to load Chapter, which seems unintuitive. Makes it seem like I'm loading a generic bookmark in the game instead of my actual progress earlier.

If you can't use a controller on PC then I'm going to be frustrated with my purchase.

I went with Vox Populi. I tend to side with the underdog.
*This is referencing the web-based puzzle game in case anyone was wondering.
Wait a minute. You can't even have different save files? What is this, a Gameboy game?
Man, this is so bizarre. So let's say, after you start a new game, won't each Chapter save be overwritten as you progress through the new game?

Doesn't she cut her hair at some point? Or something like that? I haven't seen that yet.
It supports Steam TV thingie, so it supports controller.

So where the hell are people getting the info about an hd texture pack from? Apparently the console version is 6-7gb, how would it make sense that the PC version is 15gb with an additional 15gb?

I am curious about this as well. There are times where I find it difficult to hear the audio diaries in certain parts of Bioshock 1 and 2, and having the subtitles make it bearable. I want to assume it is there, but wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't....
SomeOneInaHat

From videos that I have watched there seems to be subtitles for almost everything, including imagery and advertisements. Though, I believe some of the music is not.
Also I believe there is controller support going by how Bioshock 1 and 2 both supported it. Not to mention a strong emphasis on Steam Big screen mode.
In the pause menu there is an area in which you can relisten to audio diaries accompanied with text. Its the only way I could remember those room codes.

Preload completed pretty quick for me.
Does one have to have played Bioshock 2 to appreciate this? I played 1 and loved it, but passed on 2 for some reason I can't recall.

I'm honestly having trouble making sense of how it works.
We started a new game for my friend, and got to four auto save checkpoints which now show up as chapters under ' load chapter. '
Immediately before the first one in that menu is my chapter auto save from my main play through. It's very unintuitive.
So, at the end of the day, if you have multiple playthroughs going, their chapter auto saves appear to all be listed in one list (load chapter), ordered by whichever was most recently played/autosaved.
It's terrible.
I hope I'm making sense.
Alternatively, you can just hit Continue and have it load your last saved chapter autosave.
And yeah, it would seem the only appropriate time to stop playing the game is immediately after a chapter autosave. You'll lose progress otherwise.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
God, PS4 auto save state for all games can't come soon enough.
I have a subtitle option on. It's only primary character dialog. Background things are not subtitled. Audio diaries are not subtitled. Now, there may be another subtitle option I did not turn on, I'm not in game right now so I can't check.

That sounds shitty, but really, why would you need multiple playthroughs going at once?

Wouldn't you just give them a different profile on your console? I mean, all of my friends just have an offline profile saved on my Xbox.

You don't have to play either to appreciate Infinite. There may be referential items skewed about, but on the whole this game is a kinda sorta a prequel.
Though, I would highly recommend playing through Bioshock 2 and Minerva's Den because I like good video games and hate it when people don't play good video games.
I can't think of a time since i left undergrad that I have had people over to play games with me.

This isn't really confirmation of anything. Got a dev quote or something concrete?

I'm planning on playing through the game at the same time as my girlfriend. I'll be playing hard (or 1999) and she'll be playing normal.
This is actually a pretty important feature for me!
In all honesty, I didn't realize that's how it worked....lol, and I've had a ps3 since day one. Go figure. I basically just hand them the controller and tell them to create a new file, since many games still operate that way.
Would be a pain to quit the game, create a new profile, restart the game. I even suggest that kind of process to some friends and they're just like 'Dont bother'.
Side note: Totally think I just heard an Inglourious Basterds reference.

Well, when your preload is 15gbs and the minmum is 20gbs to play that implies at a minimum that there is at least a little bit more to d/l to play and a lot to play at higher resolutions. I'm sure there are dev quotes out there, I haven't been looking though.

Yeah, it's funny, this thread will fly at an alarming rate, and then screech to a halt, till the Night Owl gaf jump in at 3 am and start it back up again.
I'm replaying Spec Ops: The Line for the 4th time on Suicide, halfway done only started like an hour and a half ago. The last time I played it though was Halloween, so it's been a bit.
