To be honest I don't remember where specifically either. From most of the pieces I do, but this one doesn't really bring up the specific moment in my head. :S
Maybe another GAF-member remembers?

5.5 hours in, finished
, can we agree that there's never been a better game at delivering exposition? Ever?
Hall of Heroes, got Electro Shock from Slade

I started around 8 this morning and finished at 6:30 tonight. Did go out to the store a few times in between.
Not going to lie, I got strong vibes from the opening scene and reminded me of my own baptism. Very humbling opening.
Lol @ "colombia"; would make for a much different game...
Seriously though, Columbia is an awesome setting. Too often game designers feel the need to stuff their violence & gore into a fittingly dark setting, but BI clearly demonstrates that throwing chaos into paradise can be way more effective.
Also, when I originally played Bioshock 1 I can remember almost dreading booting the game back up for another play-session, just because I knew it was a guarantee that I'd be spending more hours in Rapture's dark dreary environment. With BI I'm itching to get back to Columbia.
Speaking of which, time to scratch.

time to get the season pass ^_^
I guess it's pretty similar to Bioshock in that regard. Except maybe Bioshock did a better job highlighting those thematic differences. But there are still areas that you walk into and are constantly reminded that these areas are shaped by the ideologies of the people in charge of them.
Thanks for the correction. And I know Franklin was more than just an inventor, but the game really only references his technological contributions (and even then it's only inferred).

lol, same. I almost had to force myself to stop.
The attention to detail in this game is pretty amazing. I'm two hours in and I haven't even gotten Elizabeth yet. I've been exploring every nook and cranny.

About that, does anyone know if you can turn off that Early bird pack after purchasing the pass? The gold skins are fine but I'm not too fond of getting five infusions for no reason.

same here, I am exploring every single bit of environment before moving on...listening to all the radio diaries and stealing all the supplies. The world they created is very awesome! I wish the main character talked a bit more, he seems really quiet so far.

How about one of you crazy 1999 mode people stream and give us peons a show?
Once you meet Elizabeth, he becomes a lot more talkative.
As I'm nowhere near my PC, my brother's friend brought his copy for the PS3 and I entered the lovely world of Columbia.
I did nothing but walk around for three hours or so- taking in every little detail, interacting with different minigames and admiring a lot of the art. It feels cohesive, and a wonderful introduction to a new city.
The intrigue, the sensory overload, the colors- I can't wait to just get lost in it all.

Not sure I agree with that, with no cover mechanic or anything it's pretty mediocre

If you are particularly intrested in the Founding Fathers, the miniseries John Adams is a great resource and a great show to boot.
Infinite follows along those lines, though I agree it's a bit less dynamic than the original Bioshock. In Bioshock 1 alot of the enviroments were centered around specific characters. Infinite still has those, but there's a lot more 'general' City of Columbia stuff in between.

that's good to hear
I like his voice actorRubbish King
The gift that keeps on giving
ikr
I'm happy it's finished, i think to go any further will only bring up more feels, plus right now i think it's perfect and should end there as the ending was fantastic
The diegetic music is also fantastic. The art and sound complement each other beautifully. You're really doing yourself a disservice if you aren't playing this game on a nice screen with good audio.

I like the old school cover mechanic, the wall stick in games today is annoying and not all that great. In this you have to just back off a little and take shots carefully. I am having a lot of fun on Hard difficulty so far.

Any 360/PS3 compares?

Do you need to play the other games to appreciate this one?
Around an hour and a half in. Oh my god. This game.
Playing a new Ken Levine is an event, not just a new game. This is every bit as exciting, enthralling and just downright jaw dropping as when I first played BioShock.
PC players; are any of you playing with a 360 pad? I played the first two BioShock games on consoles and despite playing with M&KB so far, I'm considering picking up my 360 pad and seeing if that helps me with some of the fumbles I'm experiencing. First person games are usually M&KB only for me but is there a particular disadvantage to playing with a pad for this?

My point was the AI barely uses any cover at all. It's similar to Borderlands.

I will check it out once it goes on sale, never been a fan of that series. I prefer God of War.
No.

So I haven't finished the game so not after any spoilers. But, was it confirmed if Columbia is set in the same universe as Rapture?

Is an official spoiler thread up yet? The one in the OP is giving an error.
That was one of my favorite moments in the game.
No, it was not confirmed.

Damn, killed a guy that's supposed to drop a vigor, but he didn't drop it (although my guys still talks about it). Looked around for a bit then moved on thinking maybe it would pop up as a left the building. It didn't so I moved on with hope until I got to a vending machine where there was an upgrade for the vigor. Went back to check again still not there. And of course I can't load a checkpoint anymore to where the guy is alive so I can try and kill him again. Guess I'm done for now. I don't really want to start over. Shame, it's a pretty good game.
I think the face tech they used in DmC is more impressive than Bioshocks.

yea even on PC Bioshock looks last gen compared to it...the lighting is just sooo good!! and the textures, also dat art style
There's a season pass for this game ?
I don't know (only 20 minutes in so far), but I cannot imagine that it isn't. How can it be a different universe with
the exact same intro as Bioshock 1?
Yes, three single player DLC packs I believe. If anyone got this on PS3, may as well nab the season pass in March to add it to a $50 total so you get $10 back.
