Pulse Elites are great! Or at least, I thought they were until I finally got my first pair of Astro A40s w/ mixamp last week. I feel like a deaf man who's been healed by Jesus Christ.

Argh. I could be playing this right now but I'm still torn on which version to choose.
I don't want to buy it on PC only to have it look and run like crap on my system.
But I don't want to buy it on PS3/360 and have it look and run like crap on my system.
Where is the fucking DEMO? The first game had a demo.

If you quit, the game mentions at what time it saved last. Just don't turn it off right away. It's a non-issue for me
Sounds to me like this one's more cinematic, which isn't something I'm particularly happy with, though even putting aside AAA concerns the fact that the last part of Bioshock was the least liked while Bioshock 2 was generally considered inferior, despite being both being strong gameplay-wise, is probably why this one's more cinematic (well, I consider Bioshock's end part kind of annoying, so I think that's part of the problem with the poor reception to the endgame.)
So treat it like Dark Souls or something. Well, OK, I guess that can do it, but I'm still not very happy with many exploration based games sticking with checkpoints exclusively. And that's what annoys me, it's great to have them there as a safety measure, but they're not mutually exclusive from hard saves. I actually prefer stationary save points over them, so to me it's like some sort of warped regression when technology should've made it better.

Pfff working out is over rated. Stay at home like the rest of us playing and get fat
Also just passed the part in game where they sing ;_;

For those who ordered at GMG, anyone having issues with activating the game on Steam? Duplicate key errors?

Currently 3 health, 4 shield and 2 salt.
Smooth sailing for me.
No problems here.

Just read from a few people on Twitter that they've only just had their Songbird editions cancelled by GAME (UK) after months of having the game pre-ordered. I'm starting to get worried.
Anyone?

It's the first time for me since the ToS has been updated, last time I needed to do it was with Deus Ex and it was fine then. I'm not aware of anyone being banned for it yet, but I take some comfort in a safety in numbers.. probably several thousand people have done this today. There would be a big stink on blogs if 2K or Valve were to push something like that through. It's not in anyone's interest. My key said "WW" after all.
[QUOTE="God's Beard!";51479226]God, 1999 mode is annoying as fuck. I'd rather restart than get revived by the vita chambers, can you turn them off? Running around with like a hundred bucks when all the vendor items cost like 1200 is frustrating. I'd only restart the same number of times anyway probably, I'm still playing around with the controls and how the game works right now.[/QUOTE]
The economy scales up a lot later you start finding desks full of cash. Don't sweat a few overpriced vending machines.

Same here! Only problem is I'll have to stare at the fucking disc for 5 hours in the office tomorrow. Haha.

I have work from 11-4, staring at a pool on one of the least busy days of the week. I'm going to go fucking insane thinking about the game.

I'm not ruling out putting the disc into my work computer's drive and seeing what happens.
Falling off the side would be really frustrating. I definitely understand why that's there. Aren't the arrows a d-pad toggle?

So I just used VPN to unlock it and I have a quick question. What happens after the game unlocks in the US and can I turn off the VPN and still play after its unpacked?
Yeah, that's 2 AM for me. Sucks
Just played the first two hours, Columbia is incredible. I'm gobsmacked and in awe that such a world exists in video games. Combat is a lot more polished, but to be honest it's not overly different from the original. But Jesus, any fears I had about this game are gone. It's just incredible.
What do you use?
Can you set them as a d-pad toggle? I heard someone mention that and it sounded great for me, since I always use the objective marker to avoid accidentally making irreversible progress while I explore.
So far, I've only fallen off when I acted like a complete idiot, never because of any sort of real difficulty. Feels really unnecessary and cheap because unlike the respawn after deaths there isn't even some kind of explanation.
Yeah, the arrows are on the d-pad. Push down, they light up for a second. It's a nice offer, but in combination with the general ease of the game, it makes it even simpler.

Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
Something is happening that hasn't happened in an age. I'm actually getting ready to play a game at midnight. It's 1 o'clock now and I'm not sleeping anyway because I'm running a fever. Sure, have to go to work tomorrow but that won't stop me from playing a few hours before collapsing.

I didn't see any arrows in the game yet, but the lighting does a pretty swell job of telling me where to go.

Played for about 2 hours. Reached
. Production design is fantastic, music is exceptional, and the vistas are, at times, breathtaking. Seems like a bonafide contender for GoTY 2013. I can't believe people thought this had a chance at failing. I'm extremely impressed by what I'm playing.
PC version, btw.
Is it MGS4 bad?

Jeff Gerstman said the ending was good. Fight Gerstman now.

I heard the ending was either Chinatown-level of awesome or it jumps Bioshock Infinitesharks with so many deus ex machinas it'll make your head spin
Should be fun to talk about!

Anyone figured out SweetFX? I can't get it to work.
Nah, I still love it. If I died all the time, I'd whine too ;-)
