I got portal vibes when i met Elizabeth and i got warm fuzzies making that connection.
I really do appreciate you answering the questions I have. Thanks a ton.
I think I'll hold off on this thread until I start playing for myself. Unless my will is weak, which it probably will be.
Yeah the game really turns the typical fetch quest bullshit on its head. The narrative goes to some crazy places.
Metacritic user rating are totally worthless. There are always some legit reviews, but the majority is just 10/10 greatest game ever, or 0/10 worse game ever.
That, and the barbershop quartet singing "God Only Knows" were really nice touches. The sound design in general is pretty outstanding.
We'll have to add this to the "super-duper secret easter eggs" section of the wiki.

Wonder how much Irrational spent on song licensing.
Ya, Metacritic is a really wonderful source for concise gaming criticism.
Ah, the opinions of thirteen year olds.
My GOTY remains AntiChamber so far, but Bioshock Infinite is doing its thing. Definitely going in the top five of the year I'd say.

Yep, everyone felt it there. pacing hit a fucking wall and there isn't enough relevant narrative being said. Like the whole main story was forgotten for a few hours and then back into it. Don't give up
game gets awesome after right till the endThis apparently has issues, according to some PC users. Not sure how far back those posts were, but yeah, it isn't a smooth or working process afaik. =/

What's worse is 3 fuckers agreed with him :/ Definitely little kiddies or dudebros.
Also I hope the game sold well, from the buzz on the net it seems to be VERY popular

All this Cyndi Lauper talk means I'm going to be real disappointed if Time After Time doesn't play during the credits.
Welp, this should be in my mailbox tomorrow. Gonna be a long day at work.

Ouch.
Damn shame this song wasn't used in commercials for this game like "Under the Sea" was for BioShock.
I think I hooked on the "twist" early on with some observations I made in another thread about certain music in this game before Infinite released, and I definitely think I figured it out with the <OPENING AREA spoilers>
stuff. I'm super early but I think I got it already.

Remember when Nirolak posted that thread last year about people leaving Irrational and everybody panicked?
Yeah.
I told you fuckers you had nothing to worry about.
Infinite is easily one of the finest games this generation. Real talk.
The "debriefing" section
is utter poetry.

And then when they delayed it ("It was delayed three times!") they were polishing a turd.

Just had a CTD that lost a half hour of progress. This Checkpoint System is a legit complaint.

Took me a while to realise it. but that's only a tiny piece lol. you're in for a shockYikes you think THAT'S hard? wait till the last level.
tips for the fight
I used bucking bronco to fire at all the minions in a line to get them all in the air, then fireball them so they all die fast. Then wail on her with a gun

Columbia is soooooo awesome. I'm loving the game right now, it's been years since I played Bioshock all the way through, but I don't remember constantly being wowed like this. At
and it just keeps getting better.
The Hall of Heroes
haha we'll see. There's really only two or three scenarios I can think of that fit with the clues I've found already so early in the game, so if none of those are it I'm really going to be weirded out lol
If we're going to end these GAF backlashes once and for all, we'll need to
drown these threads before they're ever made.

Luckily I'm that far in at least but definitely spoiler some of the locales even. I'm pretty sensitive to some details like others are as well.
And yes, game is definitely getting better and better or at least keeping the high way up there. I'm impressed as hell with this.

The look of this game is something else. Especially as you get further in. Stunning art.
Really love the world and its story, kinda wish the game wasn't a shooter. Feels like something that had to be there, rather than being integral to the story.
I know a lot of people won't agree with me on that, and it's not like I dislike the gunplay, it's just that I love the interactivity of the story, but all the fighting creates a weird dissonance.

You're still pretty early in, but I had similar musings early on. The game does a build to the reveal way more than Bioshock 1 did. When it hits you'll think you're ready for it but you really aren't.

Well I finished it and while I love it to death, and one of the best games of this generation Bioshock 1 for me is still the better game.
I'll do a more in depth write up later. Maybe I'll just edit this.

Wish I had known that. I had tons of trouble with that fight and I was only playing on Hard. It didn't help that I was playing a berserker-style. Shotgun, Hand Cannon and lots of melee with tons of damage boosting apparel. Ultra-aggressive. Tons of fun.
Speaking of which, after finishing the game you unlock 1999 mode (without having to use a code), but I don't see an option for it. I assume it's when you start a new game, but I don't want to risk deleting all my checkpoint data until I know for sure.

So I played the timed trial on PSN. Serious question here, is this game a corridor shooter? I've never played a Bioshock before and I could've sworn this series was more RPG-like.
It's a story driven arena shooter, most of the time. If it weren't for the story and the captivating environments to explore, it would be a relatively average shooter.
