Do you get anything for that? Or is it just a new detail? What if you choose the other option?

just finished it on hard. Final playtime was right at 14 hours.
The story was incredible, especially the beginning and ending; however, the game in between wasn't all that great. It was good overall, but the pacing was off. Some of the design decisions with the combat and feeling like you need to scavenge everything were misses. The game had some stellar story-based moments...lots actually, but i didn't have much fun actually playing it. I think i liked Bioshock 1 more.
8/10

What part where you turn around?
No, I don't think you get anything besides some dialouge. The place is empty if you pick the other option.

Help!
I'm towards the end of the game (maybe) in a
and I can't seem to do anything, there are two buildings that I want to get into but I can't. Do I come back here and something else happens because of video game magic or is there a way in and I'm just not smart enough?

the story will dictate when you come back there. It's weird, because I ran over there myself with Elizabeth before going to the gate, and considering what you find there, I was like, "Uh...this is kinda important Elizabeth say something!"
"Want some money?" *flips coin*
:lol

I had the exact same reaction.
The Boys of Silence are easily the most creepy looking enemies in the Bioshock franchise.
I don't remember getting scared at anything in this game, I really hate jump scares too. Maybe it was because my FOV wasn't completely cramped.
Oh man oh man this game is sooo good. It kind of annoys me though that there is a massive amount of upgrades in the game, and the game gives you very meager currency to buy them. (anything that is over $1000 is BS)
Right now I just got to
How far am I roughly through the game? Also without spoiling anything, are there multiple endings like the original Bioshock?
Right now I just got to
Downtown Emporia.
It's good to hear it picks back up. It's actually starting to feel like a bit of a slog. I'm totally OCD about these kinds of games, so I feel compelled to explore every corner of every area, and it's starting to feel a bit predictable. Enter new area. Clear area. Collect loot from bodies. Explore area for more loot and locked areas. Move to next area. Repeat. I miss the Metroid Prime vibe of the first Bioshock where it felt more exploration driven rather than combat driven.
I'm about 7 hours in (on Hard) and am at
Finkton Docks.
Just one ending. You're like, I guess 70%?
Where your at now is kind of the meh part of it. It's like a sub plot that is still part of the main story but mainly fluff.
That said your a little or 50 percent done I believe
Good to know. I'll keep powering through and look forward to it hitting those high highs again. The first two hours are unbelievably awesome. If it can hit those notes again, then this really is a game for the ages.

i'm kind of upset that i finished this game in 10 hours, but i guess that's partially my fault. i didn't think i was rushing, but i could have been exploring more, maybe? either way, i'm not disappointed, i just feel weird about 10 hour games. nevermind i'm not upset.
The part where you turn around
I've just finished it...Stay tuned??
Haha I came here to post that...holy shit, I'm taking a 5min break on gaf to wait for my heart to come back to normal haha.

I feel like a good way to tell if you rushed is to see how many voxophones you got.

oh, good idea! let me go check.
EDIT: i got 55 voxophones. i listened to them all. i had never opened the menu to check them until i just checked. in fact, i couldn't figure out how to open it using my keyboard so i plugged in my keyboard and hit the back button. how many are there total?

My brother and I couldn't stop laughing for a solid 5 minutes after we screamed like little girls, I had to pause because I couldn't concentrate.
The part where you turn around
No jump scare has ever gotten me to do anything more than blink suddenly until I got to that part. I literally jumped out of my chair and screamed, "FUCK!" when that happened.

There are 80 so not too bad, I got 72 on my first play through.

So can I show my brother in law the start of the game without blowing up my game? My guess is I will just load the chapter I'm on and go from there it will remember my voxs I've collected and stuff?

Yep, you rushed it. There are 80 phones to find.
No, I don't think so.

10-12 hours seem to be a pretty standard finishing time for this game. If you're getting 65+ Voxphones, you're slow, bro

You don't have a memory card (any USB stick will do, just about) or cloud saves? (Assuming you're on Xbox which is probably a mistake.)
JetBlackPanda
Member
I do have a USB drive where are those saves located?
people who finished the game said all Voxs are saved. i dunno what happens if you didn't finish it.
can't you start a new game in a different save slot?
JetBlackPanda
Member
are you playing on console? i'm playing on PC and i sorta remember that when i start a new game there were 3 save slots or am i imagining things?

Just create a new offline profile/account (on 360) to safely see the start again, Make sure you sign into that before you boot up the game.

Sorry I should have specified I'm on PC.
Also I just clicked new game and it says it will overnight my last auto save.
Lack of PC game profile support strikes again.

Wtf guys is this for real??

Not the first or the last time it will happen really. PC games with no profile support and one save slot are not uncommon.
hell, you could do manual saves in Bioshock 1 for CONSOLES. i have no idea why they changed that.

Ok well if I start a new game will I lose all my progress? Or can I choose the chapter I'm on later?

Graphics in the PC version of this game are incredible. not so much the rendering techniques, its the way the visuals are coherent and so well integrated into the world you look at. such a visual treat and makes me think alot less of other games with fancier rendering techniques.
