Definitely. DmC had fantastic facial animation, definitely one of the weak points of Infinite.
Still, the environment art. God damn.
You should've seen what the floating section drift tech did when you were on them, let alone when on the barges and zeps. : )

All (?) the vigors can be found in multiple places at different points in the game. Do you know which vigor it was?
I haven't played this yet, but is it as good as Portal?
Only a couple hours in but this game is already blowing away my lofty expectations. I'm staring at every little nook and cranny and they all ooze history and detail. The guns feel fantastic too. Really punchy.
BTW I did not enjoy starting on Hard. Those turrets ruined my day. Medium is much more fun to me for a first playthrough since I just want to explore and take everything in, although the regular enemies are pushovers.

Go to a Mendelson machine and change gear.
How about one of you crazy 1999 mode people stream and give us peons a show?
I don't have the gear to stream or I'd show you something special. Later down the line I suppose I ought to.
Impossible for me to say so far, but I wouldn't be surprised for it to be close. I feel the original was on the same level as Portal and this one compares favorably to the original so far.

I just started the game and I am trying to enter the "Blue Ribbon" when I press X to enter I just stand there with no control or option other than to A "leave" or B "cancel". What am I doing wrong here?
I can't imagine. I didn't even think I was particularly prone to motion sickness except that one time I had to be drugged up with Dramamine on a whaling boat because the boat was like a crazy person the way it was swaying about. But sometimes I have to actually step away from the computer and take a break because I'm getting so sick lol
Anyway, I'm trying to put on my critics eye with this game but you guys really did a great job. So far, with little exception, it really is a splendid production.
Design choice for better or worse. In big environments cowering bots tend to vanish. They also set precedent for player stop and pop behavior, and combat here was never supposed to be about that.
"Leave" means load the next section. Press A if you're done in the current area (sometimes you can't go back).

awesome, I hope the game sells millions of copies world wide. people should buy this game instead of shit like crysis 3 and tomb raider (copy cat game)
I swear every 3 minutes I'm running into some new phenomenal looking room or view. It's like every room is an incredible painting. I'm thinking I've reached the middle portion of the game by now, I'm 5 hours in.
The Hall of Heroes was incredible looking, and I nearly went holy shit out loud when I saw the very first part of Columbia (the church type place with water everywhere). I an see exactly why this took so long to make.
It's like, you see a lot of indie games that look incredible thanks to art design, lots of point and click, or indie platformers, or whichever, but this is a big budget AAA type game that stands with the likes of Journey for endless incredible sights.

Good god. I've played it for a solid 8 hours straight. It's been amazing so far and I can see myself replaying it much more in the future. Elizabeth is a great character. Not just in terms of her personality but what she adds in a gameplay sense.
I'm continuously floored by every location I visit. They are so detailed. My head hurts just thinking how much art they used and how they crafted each environment I've been too so far, so well.
I'm just curious, how far am I?

Just stormed into the factory with the Vox. It feels like I'm quite far in.
The nice thing about 1999 mode is that it mechanically demands exploration and resource-gathering as opposed to just netting you more flashy ways to dispose of weak enemies. The first turrets are even more terrifying though.

I will give you the crysis 3 comment but tr was enjoyable.
Sorry to hear that. You'll start finding that same vigor all over the world for what its worth.

So far this game is really fucking I don't know because I haven't even played it yet. I've literally been cleaning and rearranging my entertainment room all day -- I have this weird thing where when something is either out or about to come out that I'm super excited for, that the room has to be spotless or it'll drive me crazy. Kind of like inviting a hot girl over and having home anxiety.
...I'm getting there though. Soon.

I'm not even out of the tutorial carnival but I feel like the game is already giving me hints that something is amiss... and then there was the quote at the very beginning.
I love the comic relief with the two... handlers, or whatever they are.

I'm PC and played the first 3 hours on a 360 pad.
+ walking around slowly through Columbia feels great and natural on the pad
- headshots matter, so KB+M is definitely better for accuracy
In the original Bioshock when you put on subtitles, didn't they have subtitles on the screen even when listening to audio diaries? Or am I remembering wrong?
Because in Infinite even with subtitles on there are no subtitles during the audio diaries, I have to go into the menu and read the text afterwards.

I enjoyed the hell out of both Crysis 3 and Tomb Raider, but Bioshock Infinite is, thus far, the better game. Still, definitely play the other two. Full disclosure: PC.
I have kept myself in the dark on this game ever since the first trailer, so I don't know a thing about it.
I loved Bioshock 1, but never touched Bioshock 2.
Can anyone tell me if Bioshock 3 will be understandable without playing Bioshock 2? I know Rapture is far away from the sky, but just wondering before I decide to force myself through Bioshock 2 before starting Infinity.

But look at it in the context of this game.

This is getting weirder all the time
I just have to get it out how much this is still sticking with me. Just thinking back over what I've played I have to conclude that this is just the greatest feat ever pulled off in gaming in terms of everything coming together - and the soundtrack deserves a special mention.
Well you can always go to the menu and listen to it again.

I do the exact same thing. I spent all of yesterday evening cleaning while it pre-loaded.
This game is brilliant. I can't say enough about how my expectations have been exceeded in every way possible.
Which quote? I haven't reached the carnival so perhaps it will be apparent by then, but I can think of a few potential memorable quotes from the beginning.
I didn't think about that!

What's the best way to take out a turret? They're really irritating.
Without question, but overall Bioshock Infinite is the best looking game I've ever played.
Possess them and let the enemies handle them.
I use possession and then shoot it.
As I keep playing I still can't really feel anything for this game. It sure as hell wants me to but I really think the linear nature of it and the lack of systems in this game hurt it. I love exploring the world but then I realize all I can find are health/magic restorers, ammo and money. I wish there was an inventory with a lot more things to use and find.

You have to listen, once they get into reloading mode, pop out and take them out with the fire vigor.
