Random question time: Is the story complicated and hard to follow?

I doesn't come close to Tomb Raider.

Yeah that's true, I just remember Atlas giving you a rundown of the infamous cronies of Rapture (Sander Cohen and the like).
Also, I really missed the visual modification of the weaponry after upgrading it. It was cool seeing your gun get crazier as you upgraded it.
It's a pretty deep and complex story yes.
Not really, I understood it perfectly with only a few lingering questions which were explained in spoilers thread. We played 999/VLR, this is nothing.
(Impressions on it, not really spoilers)
Sorta yeah. Its batshit insane...but it makes sense when you start to read about it.

Haha....nice! I was actually going to bring up both 999/VLR. How does the ending compare to 999? Just as mind blowing for you or not? No spoilers please.
Totally mind blowing. It's well done.

Charge + Brittle Skinned + Coat of Harms = Holy shit
Feels like I'm playing a Vanguard in ME. Was the Vigor inspired by that at all?

This is probably one of the best told narratives in gaming right now.
What makes Infinite narrative such an amazing feet is that it's soooo easy to fuck up, and have more plot holes than swiss cheese.
But it doesn't. It's all told incredibly well. There's foreshadowing galore, and just incredible little plot details as well.
This is a game that warrants a second playthrough simply because there's just so much to find/and miss/and just take in.
So to answer your question: No it's not complicated to understand. If you rush through it, than perhaps, yeah.
But if you take your time, it shouldn't be. An if you do find yourself lost, than the spoiler thread pretty much has all the ending details nailed down at this point, so we would always be willing to help you understand the plot more.
But yeah..Complex? Perhaps, but in an intelligent way (similar to some great film or novel). Hard to follow? Hardly, unless you rush.
ROFL. No option to change that?
I feel like it was partly inspired by the drill dash in Bioshock 2.

goddamn. this game is some next level shit.
Boy, this game gets a little crazy. All of the
, so I am guessing I am near the end. Will polish it off tomorrow.
supernatural stuff and backtracking through the ruined city fighting Lady Comstock's ghost, hordes of enemies and looking for the three tears was a bit tedious, but it thankfully picked back up some after that. I am at Comstock's airship now

Oooooh this is pretty exciting. Seems like this might rival 999/VLR when it comes to excellence in narrative.
It's up there
If you liked 999 than you will love the fuck out of Infinite (narrative wise)
Bucking Bronco is like the best vigor.
Toss them bitches in the air and shoot them down. Combine that with the chaining gear and chaining upgrade = float city

Yeah, after watching the GB quicklook, I figured I would be using crows for most of the game because of how cool it was. Not so.
I've been using a machine gun/carbine combo. What I like about the game is that it's not forcing you into using certain weapons. Early on, it was putting so many rocket launchers around that I felt like I had to carry one with me because something big was coming up. But the regular guns are more than capable. It really lets you use what you want.

Haha, just found the (pretty hefty spoilers)
!
Certainly better than Tomb Raider in that regard.
Magical Melodie's store with the Cyndi Lauper tear. Add Everybody Wants to Rule the World to the covers list
Certainly better than Tomb Raider in that regard.

Everyone who has finished the game has described the way the ending effects most people perfectly. I just did, had a decent amount spoiled, and my jaw was still on the floor. Fucking awesome, Shawn/Ken/Irrational. Thanks for making this exist.

How many of you fellas on the 360 version played with the V-Sync off vs. on? I'm playing with it off, and I'd like to turn it on, but I don't want a bunch of laggy input. Does it get bad?
Haha, be careful.
I'm playing with it on. It doesn't seem that laggy honestly
Glad to hear you liked it.

About to take a stab at what I thought happened, it's really easy to get until literally the last 20 seconds of the game.

You've got about an hour left.
Not far now.
If your feeling tired, just start a fresh play through tomorrow. Would probably be best enjoyed that way.
Sounds good. Anxious to see what happens.
30-45 minutes, the last actual battle sequence is pretty damn tough, might take you a few attempts.
The ending nukes the fuck out of Bioshock 1 and 2's ending.
I rented this from Redbox yesterday and am trying to plow through it as quickly as possible. I couldn't believe that it seemed to include Bioshock, so my curiosity had me click on it and... now I've been sitting here for an hour installing Bioshock when I just want to play Infinite :-/
Really? cause Bioshock 2's ending was pretty damn good. Pretty sad as well
To be fair, Infinite's ending pretty much nukes any games ending, ever. Like i'm not even exaggerating, this is how superior infinite ending is.

Just finished up a couple of hours ago. Definitely my favourite shooter of the generation, and probably ever. The step up in gunplay from Bio 1 is amazing, and the narrative is definitely one of the best I've ever seen in a game.
Now to start another playthrough.

Yeah but how will the DLC play out? Unless....*runs to spoiler thread*
