Bioshock Infinite |OT| No Gods, Kings, or Irrational Games

Yeah, the art direction is insane.
Let me mention a moment that isn't really highlighted but for me personally I stood there just going back and forth and examining the lighting and the texture work.
There is a moment early on the game, very soon after you just get the magnetic skyhook ability, where you go into a house that has the game's first treasure chest. But if you start going down the stairs, there is this bit on the staircase where you see a wood texture on the wall and on the stair banister and a window lighting the area, with colors so vibrant and rich that the wood actually takes on a deep purple luster on some of it.
This area impressed me so much from an art perspective that I stayed there some 10 minutes examining it. And this isn't even a major area or moment! It's not even a spoiler to mention it because it's like a hallway in any other game... but my God! The work that went into the art in this game.
Even if everything else sucked, it would be worth a play just to experience it.
DatDude said:Amirox I like you. I like your notion on narratives in video games.
I really want to hear your feedback after you finish the game..and don't skip the credits since there are narrative scenes after them.
To me, Infinite is the great narrative in the history of it's medium.
Playing this on a second playthrough just blows my mind. There is incredible foreshadowing, and there are details in the most smallest places (the music for example).
Plus the ending is just one of the greatest feats ever bestowed in a video game imo.
Really anticipating your feedback when you finish it
Will do, absolutely. Obviously due to the nature of this games narrative specifically it's not worth commenting on the nature of my opinion without finishing it, but I do have some thoughts building. Some good, some bad, about the game's overall story. We'll see where it ends up. I am absolutely glad I got to experience this game though.

Finished my paper.

I tried enabling, but gpu scaling wasn't even listed as an option in nvidia control panel. Might be because I'm outputting to my TV through receiver? I'm on latest drivers. *shrug*, game's over now anyway ;b

I don't know if my computer would handle downsampling considering how bad it still stutters on occasion
I got an HD Radeon 7870 and a top tier processor from 2012 and 8 GB of RAM, and I did all the suggestions in the PC Bioshock Infinite topic but sometimes it still chugs like a bitch. Really frustrating and I hope for a patch

Not going to look at those pics just yet, though I'm still gonna say this is the best-looking game I've played. That was my impression after the first couple hours, and days later, I think it still is. It's a wet dream for any game photographer.
Try the Skyhook fire build I posted earlier, with the 4 gear pieces. I wouldn't necessarily call it overpowered, because melee in 1999 can still be pretty dangerous, but it is powerful and damn fun. On lower difficulties it probably cuts through almost everything.

You're not playing the game, you're just watching old trailers.
holy shit lol
Right now it's considered one of the top 10 highest rated games of all-time. Going down to 93 or lower makes it just an excellent game rather than a greatest game of the century contender.
Yeah, it's pretty dang good. I'll give you that.

Nah, that scene is actually in the game, it's just not same as the old build.
Ya, you're right. I got a bit confused.
Murder of Crows to distract and RPG the hell out of them.

This game has hitmarkers? Never liked those in single-player. Breaks the immersion for me.
From what I've been able to use of the guns, the feedback is GREAT. Much better than BioShock.

gunplay is a HUGE improvement. Lots of fun. I loved getting headshots with the Hand Cannon.
Loved it so much, I'm now replaying Bioshock 1, played it years ago but never finished it .... and I didn't even play Bioshock 2 even though I have 2 copies of it .....
Saw that the 1st DLC for Playstation 3 was just released, anyone know what was included ?? Was it just bug fixing??

I need some help, please(near end-game spoilers)
i'm at the battle on the airship, where I have to use the Songbird to take down the enemy. I've tried it 3 times and they keep destroying my ship. How many waves do I have to go through or is there a trigger point to end it? Is there some trick I'm missing? I took down 7 gunships and it was just overwhelming and I died
That part is actually in the game.
Take down the
giant zeppelins as soon as you can. They are the main objective.

Just keep doing what you're doing. It took a while.
Patriots respawn forever cuz they're dropped by the Zepplins. Destroy the Zepps whenever the Songbird is available

listen to the mad man
Safes -- worth lock picks or are they all just $250 give or take?
They're all random amount of money. Sometimes way less than $250
Yup, all 150-250$. Sure it worth in 1999 mode.
They tend to just be around that. But I tried to explore a lot, opened every door and safe I found and had tons of lock picks left at the end. So it's not much of an issue.

Yes, you can buy lockpicks from Dollar Bill stores later on (I never needed to though)
I always manage to have one too few. :/
But if safes just have money that's okay, I was worried I was missing out on Infusions.

I keep thinking I did, and then I manage to stumble on some barrel or something I missed.
Meh. Last thing I need is reason for this game to take even longer.
