They should let you leave and then you get zapped with a laser by the shopkeep when you return. Worked well in Link's Awakening. There were some stores that I just never went back to.

You know... I actually interviewed at Irrational before, and even spoke with Ken Levine a few times (we're both Vassar alums), and I always felt I was a good enough writer to be a part of their team. My time with Infinite so far has me wondering about that "good enough" part. 
Subtle in places people wouldn't expect... bombastic in others... but thus far incredibly human. I'll be laughed at, to be sure... but as a disabled man I spent a lot of my life at odds with, and fighting religion. Some of the themes in this game... i'll admit i've already had a tear or two.

Shot gun feels way better this time around. It's like they did what they wanted to do from the original, but changed it just enough to actually make it feel like it has a better punch. The old one just felt so rickety. Weapons in general just feel a lot more competent this time around.

So, the game is out in stores in Australia, and i'm on my way to work. Awesome.
In any case, will finally fire this up when I get home 10 hours from now. It's been great lurking this thread. Here's to 20,000 posts, OT2 and beyond!

He went to Vassar? Poughkeepsie strikes again.

Damn. I thought the Bioshock 1 shotgun was pretty satisfying. And the Bioshock 2 double-barrel definitely upped the ante. If I end up being disappointed by the new shotgun, it'll be your fault!

It seems like a silly complaint, but I really don't like the cross hair on the new one.

I think the problem with it was the sound. I'm not sure. It's still very similar, and quite distinct in gaming.
Shout out to Irrational for making a flawless PC launch. It was worth the extra wait if this is what you were fixing.
I'm also super critical of shotgun crosshairs so I can understand. The stretched one for the PS3 version of Crysis 2 annoyed the crap out of me. It was supposed to be circular but it was oval.
Sign off steam. Vpn it. Sign back in. Play.
Woo, I closed that window just in time. I avoid launch trailers like the plague. They're usually filled with spoilers.

I assume the cross hairs from the original gameplay vids are long gone and totally revamped? They were kinda subtle and almost hard to see, and slightly baroque.
Enjoy watching this until midnight, Andrew.
Sign off as in exit Steam completely, of course.
And choose a server in Korea, as I did.
So I wonder if
I love how they use
Just awesome, hope there's more of that.
the audio logs/movies are missable, or if there's a point in the game where I can return to get them. I got a key for a sidequest a while ago, but the objective's now gone from my list...
I love how they use
pop songs in this setting. So far I got Beach Boys, Tears for Fears, Cyndi Lauper, ...
Haven't done these at all yet. Had no idea you can.

Hey, alright, shipped from Gamefly. Might actually get this Wednesday.
I have to get through this, Etrian Odyssey 4, and Fire Emblem by April 23rd. The lady awaits her copy of Dead Island: Riptide
If I can pull this off, it'll probably be the first time I've beaten 5 new games in 4 months in probably 10 years, heh.

Can't wait to find out how/why those things in the second spoiler are popping up.
So Shawn I'm wonder why IG opted for a checkpoint system rather than a manual save system? I understand why it may not work with 1999 mode, but I liked manual saving...

Broke down and preordered the PC version today. I'm sure it'll be unique
Oh I have been. And I will.
Damn,
I reaaally wanted to know what that key opened, guess I should've double backed
Already a reason to replay this
VPN unlock worked for me. I've only seen the first 40 minutes, then I started feeling queasy and stopped playing. I guess I'm just not made for third person perspective games.
I loved what I saw of the floating city: impossibly bright and cheerful, such a contrast compared to the Bioshock games. Love the artwork and the period posters, but the character models are crudely drawn and animated. I finished Tomb Raider a day earlier, that game looked stunning, a true next gen game. Bioshock Infinite clearly isn't. It can look beautiful but you get the impression that the game is running on an enhanced (but dated) Bioshock 1/2 engine.

OKAY, damn you guys. You guys are tempting me. My Newegg order hasn't shipped yet, and I'm getting antsy and want to play this NAO. Thinking about just buying this full price from Steam.
What time is it suppose to unlock?
Are the PC requirements crazy? My PC is crazy old, last new game I bought was ME3, and I can play that game pretty well on medium settings...

Try changing FOV in main menu. A low FOV often makes me feel sick and strains the front of my head.

If I buy the boxed PC version do I still have to download the texture patch?

Just me or is the "launch trailer" the weakest of all the trailers released so far? Still so hyped for this game though. Need to finish Revengeance and Gears first tho
