The more I think about it, the more I feel like this game was made just for me. Fantastic art, themes that resonate with me, fun gun play, tons of combat options, excellent narrative, long, exploration focused; it's basically a bullet point list of everything I want in a game.

Nah, the gigantic reveal after the huge reveal before the credits.
O god. Worst thing you can do for yourself is to plowthrough it.
This game is like a good book. Do you ever want to plow through it, or rather enjoy every page?

can I play the original Bioshock without the disk? Or is it mandatory?

No one loving bucking bronco and Shotgun? They were practically made for eachother. I also really like how there are latin phrases along the side of the guns e.g. Memento Mori on the shotgun.
Basically this. Redbox is usually 2 dollars a day? give or take change? I would enjoy it.
I love that combo. Float them up then blast them off of Columbia. The shotgun in general is amazing in this game.

Towards the last 1/3 of the game, I fell in love with bucking bronco + devil's kiss. So good.

While going through theories, I have had God Only Knows and Will the Circle Be Unbroken stuck in my head in an endless loops for the past day and a half now. Love it.
The last thing you want to do is plowthrough this game. The voxophones and various visual stuff compliments the story and builds the world.

Stopped playing for the night, really making myself slow down and enjoy the world.
Story just got really interesting. I'm about 45 voxophones into the game, so minor spoilers regarding to where I'm at:
Can't wait to see how everything eventually comes together.

Right now I'm in the tear where Booker was a martyr for the Vox. Holy shit was picking up a voxophone of Booker himself talking a surreal experience.
Just focus her down, ignore her summons for as much as you can.
I had upgraded charge, which makes you invulnerable and I had a piece of clothing that debuff'd enemies with 2x vulnerability when melee'd
I would shock the group, charge in, and just drop massive damage on her. while her vulnerability and my invulnerability overlapped, then repeated.
If she flashed in and was about to do that explosion attack, I would just charge her and go invulnerable when she exploded.

Just finished this... IMO it's the game of the gen. Only gripe would be how much scavenging through desks and shit that you need to do, it was tedious as fuck.
And yeah probably one of the best endings of all time.
If I had one piece of advice for someone starting it, upgrade vigors and ignore the weapon upgrades. Vigors are the best part of the combat by far.

Yeah, it sort of sucks depending on the vigors you leveled up.

I think I hit a bug or I'm super stupid. Gonna put my question is spoiler tags.
Herp derp, was going the wrong way. This is what happens when I try to play to much video games after a 16hr shift
I got the Shock Jock from Slate and the game tells me to go back to Solders Field. I'm stuck right where Liz can pull the freight hooks into the world. It's not giving me the prompt to jump to the ledge I came in on. Is this the way to go? Am I missing something

It blew me away when I heard the gospel song they were playing in the chapel in the opening sequence. That's a legendary song, and I wasn't really expecting it. Hundreds of country, gospel, and folk singers have covered that song. Johnny Cash even paid tribute to it in a song you can hear here, although technically you could say he was paying tribute to The Carter Family's adaptation of the song, which is itself a cover.
Anway, some random trivia if anyone is interested

I don't think it's hyperbole to say Infinite's ending is the best of the generation. It comes at the perfect time and is incredibly satisfying. The only recent one that can compete might be Portal 2.
Okay, I'm pissed.
First, some back story: Got the game on release date. All three instances of me shutting my PS3 down while the game was on prompted three beeps before my system shut off. No other game I own caused this in multiple repeated instances.
So fast forward to now. I decided to play some Infinite before going to sleep, and I can't even continue my game or load a chapter! The game locks up my system on the loading screen, the last instance of which created a really bad sound from the BD drive. I guess one difference between yesterday and tonight is the fact that I wasn't connected to PSN.
Anyone else having these problems. I can try logging on or deleting my game data to see if it fixes things but I shouldn't fucking have to.

you went the wrong way i believe. after you get Shock Jockey, you should take a right and go back through Lady Comstock's history and exit the Hall of Heroes.

I would not mind a horde mode of some kind. Gimme an killbox with sklines and ramp up the enemies, please. Combat and map design is so good.
Absolutely love it so far. I don't want to know where I'm up to or what is left but I just wanted to add to incredible praise this game deserves. The amount of incredible detail put into this game world is staggering. My favourite moment so far: (very mild spoilers)
Seeing the battle between the factions, and there's a woman sat on the wall singing Fortunate Son. I stopped and listened to the whole song...then almost died because I wasn't watching the fight!
Yea you're somewhere about 1/3
i read that if you play it on easy, you don't get the full ending. i'd recommend playing it on normal if you're not comfortable with shooters, and hard if you are. hard isn't too difficult and dying isn't too big of a deal.
Hard it is then, tyvm.

I pretty much played through the whole game(hard mode) with the Carbine and RPG. Messed around with other guns but wasn't too attached. Same for the plasmids, pretty much only used the crows and possession. I do like the upgraded version of charge alongside the crows, however.
The plasmids didn't seem as diverse as the other bioshock games, though.
Also, there are way too many goddamn lockpicks.

Just finished Infinite just now. I was able to come up with two incredibly far flung hypotheses within 2 hours of the ending
WARNING: DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING UNLESS YOU'VE COMPLETED THE GAME
and just sat there, totally incredulous that I had deciphered the ending. Still, watching it play out, in the manner that I predicted only amplified my enjoyment. God, what an ending
I think this is my favorite game of the generation just for the sheer magnitude of artistry involved in the game. It will be one I will always think back upon fondly for all the awe it's inspired

around Comstock house, I wondered to myself whether Liz was actually Booker's daughter, then I thought, what exactly was keeping Booker from being Comstock? I touched upon it after pondering what the subtitle "Infinite" pertained to, and it was could only be infinite possibilities. So in one of those parallel universes, Booker was Comstock. Also Booker mentions that he had a wife and a child who died during birth, but I knew his memories couldn't be trusted, since I had hypothesized midway thru that he wasn't from Infinite's world, and that memories become muddled when crossing into a parallel dimension as was mentioned by the Lutece's

i think there are some real parallels between Infinite and Nier, both of them are just devastating, but all the more memorable for it

So I really want to get this game however I'm on sure what platform to get it on. Between ps3 and 360 which version is superior in terms of graphics,frame rate,etc? Also, does pc version support 360 controller?
Ya I was a bit slow during that segment
Another question:
when fink is trying to kill booker aka the audition, is it solely because he wants a new head of security? Seems a bit if a hassle.

What does 1999 mode actually change? I almost finished the game on hard but that final battle made me switch to Normal. I wonder if I could manage it on 1999 mode.
