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

- Start date
Just put in a couple of hours on my second playthrough. Just love going through and seeing things with a different set of eyes. It's great. I can see myself replaying this so many times. Great length too.
Going to wait and see what the DLC consists of before I think about getting a season pass. If it's story content, I'm happy with that but if it's some shit like challenge rooms... count me out.

Was there ever any explanation why scenes like in this gameplay-video from 2010 or this one from 2011 weren't in the full game?
Oh and I'm seriously impressed by the job that the voice actress of Elizabeth did. Top Class voice acting!

when those scenes were made, the rest of the game was still only fetal, as far as I can piece together. The writing wasn't finished, the scenarios weren't set in stone, etc.
Irrational seem to start off by making flashy-prototypes as a target, then they build a game to match it. I could be totally wrong, an actual Irrational employee probably knows better.

YES! Found the last copy at a redbox nearby...can't wait to play it! And Gamefly shipped me Luigi's Mansion 2 earlier...good day today 
That's great to hear.

I also really enjoyed having to make challenging choices about which weapons to upgrade and, which of those powers I could upgrade. I mean, the difference between "Automatic rifle a and Automatic Rifle B" was pretty damn difficult!

Regarding the 2010 trailer, one thing I found neat (late-ish game spoiler-ish):
When you head towards Emporia, and you find the room where the Vox have put up all the scalps on the board, one of the scalps is labeled Saltonstall, the guy you see/fight in the 2010 trailer. It was a nice little nod to people who were paying attention/remembered the original trailers, even though that character was apparently cut from the final game.
As for the 2011 trailer, I think that was the most disappointing thing that wasn't in the game. That entire sequence was what sold me on the game in the first place and made me super excited for it. Still, what we got was pretty amazing in its own right. I'm just hoping the DLC has those types of sequences in them.

I bet Elizabeth feels exactly that way about me at this point.

NOOO! I rented the PS3 version and noticed Bioshock 1 on the XMB so I clicked on it and it's installing...(12 GB) HOW DO I UNDO THIS FOR NOW!?
Oh well, free game I guess

You're about 2/3 into the game, so I'd say you have about 4 hours left.

Shield and salt. I would do something like a 60-40 or 70-30 split with your infusions depending on which you like more.
Shield is much more useful than health I found.
Awesome! I thought I was almost done.
Just wait until the end!
I invested in salt and shield
At (late game spoilers/possibly final level?)
This shit is too much especially when I turned around and
I was already on the edge of my seat dodging the other ones in a building. I mean this entire story...stories within stories within stories.
or should I say on board comstack's ship
This shit is too much especially when I turned around and
a fucking siren was behind me screaming and shit

I maxed out salt before I touched the other two and don't regret it.
I'm yet to hear anyone justify why they'd bother upgrading health, other than making the game *slightly* more challenging.
Bahaha this is hilarious since I'm assuming you haven't beaten the game. Finish up!

Just finished. Oh my god.
I don't know if this was a glitch, but I was disappointed when (mid game spoilers)
What was supposed to happen here?
I was taking out an airship right before the second handyman, and when I blew up the engine and tried to jump off in a fancy fashion with the sky hook, I died instantly and was loaded back on the ground.

I fucking loved that part.
Especially since the whole "turn around to find a creepy enemy right behind you" thing happendd a few times in Bio1. Infinite tricks you into thinking it won't happen then right near the very end, BAM! Scary-ass motherfucker right behind you Bio1 style. Infinite knows exactly what the player is expecting and how to subvert it.
Okay, it just seems like the laser on my PS3 is borked. Fuck. :/
I deleted all game data, and save data. Seemed to work well enough, then the same problem occurred today. Tried to put a Blu-Ray movie and Uncharted 2 in, nope.
Just a quick question that I wonder if someone could help me.
I want to buy the season pass ( would be my first knowing it would be nice SP DLC ) however my wife would like to play the DLC as well. We both have profiles on the one 360, but if say she purchased it, Would I have to purchase it again to play the DLC on my account or would it work like normal DLC across both accounts, as long as her profile is on the console?
Thanks.

Fucking amazing.
Alright, Hall of Heroes area warmed me up to the game a lot more. Very nice enivoroment and the combat is finally expanding. Tears so far are fun to mess around with, and Elizabeth handing you ammo and medkits is pretty great.
However, I do already have a gripe with that. There are tears to open up multiple med kits, but Elizabeth seemingly doesn't grab them off of it to throw to you if she can't make one herself. Some light action commands would have fleshed out the potential here a lot more.

Do you start finding new gear fairly early in the game? This damn Sugar Rush thing from the flash game is driving me crazy, and unless I'm mistaken I can't unequip the frigging thing.
Yeah, you do.
I complained about that in this thread too. Shit was annoying as hell.
Lol, how far are you? I wasn't liking it much for awhile but I'm getting into it now.

The combat is alright at the beginning, but really opens up to amazing once you get to Elizabeth. If you haven't reached Elizabeth yet, keep pushing and it gets so much better. If you're past Elizabeth and still don't like it, well, there's no hope sadly.

Did you try assaulting your enemies with a flock of flaming crows?
Yeah, that's what I just finished up. Within the hall of heroes the game puts in the tears and stuff, along with the bucking bronco which is a good one two punch kind of deal. I've atleast enjoyed messing around with it now instead of feeling pretty blah on it all.
Even having Elizabeth, it took awhile to finally get her to do things relevant to combat. The pacing in general just seemed too slow to me, even if I understand them trying to not overwhelm the player.

Played earlier and saved just after I got a chance to use the skylines. Great mechanic! I played around on them to get used to the controls. Saved at the part where you

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
Okay I picked up the PS3 version. I like the look of the reversible cover... but I have small problem with it.
I don't understand how a game cover even makes it to press without a spell check.
At least it's not on the scale of Revelaitons, but still.
Anyway, on to the game!

It's not even so much Elizabeth herself that opens up combat options, but once you get her you just have more options in general. The first section there's like...two vigors and two or three different guns. After Elizabeth you hit Skylines and have more options vigor wise and there's all sorts of weapons scatted about in combat.
Best melee-related gear I've gotten:
30% chance of possessing an enemy you hit with melee. That shit is awesome.
Started a second round to see what I've missed and to play with the vigors a bit more.
Thought I'd play for a few minutes, but couldn't stop before I'd played another 2 hours.
I think I enjoy it even more this time around. I realized I really hadn't taken advantage of the vigors enough.

I might have missed it in the special thanks section or something, but completely axing Nate Well's name from the art credits seems fucking crazy.

Man, I've just died and lost a shitload of money to same handyman like 15 times in a row :/
EDIT: WTF this is seriously ridiculous. I've lost 1000 coins and have no shot at killing him and am about to just lose 1000 more if i keep respawning!
EDIT 2: Well apparently he disappeared or something cause I killed the remaining enemies in the area and now I'm progressing with the story without ever killing the handyman.
