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

What's with the cramming Infinite down people's throats with those buy-one-get-three deals?

Are they afraid the game will bomb?

So I'm awake for spoilers, but I sleep through old arcade discussion...

You mightve missed the Metroid Prime worship session as well.

And as always Spec Ops has been mentioned.

Picture time!

I'm wondering how the people who loved SS 2 (Doc Suess, Derrick01, others) will fare in comparison impressions with the people who loved Bioshock 1.

Considering this is not a console exclusive, I don't think the review thread will be as big a bloodbath (compared to The Last of Us) if the scores go to 8 and below but you never know.

It'll be fun sitting on the sidelines dining on the schadenfreude XD

It's a AAA console game, I already know what to expect and what not to expect and I'm over it not being as good as System Shock. You should have seen me when Bioshock was coming out though, goddamn it would have been nasty.

Generally the first betrayal game in a series or from a loved developer is the one I react the strongest too. Then after they become dead to me I no longer care about them making streamlined games. Like after Absolution I don't care about the Hitman franchise at all anymore. All they have to do is make a better game than Absolution next time since my expectations will never ever be high enough to expect another Blood Money again.

Oh, and if Shawn Elliot is still reading, I used to keep GFW Radio podcasts on my iPod and listen to them during patrol (along with the other 1UP staples).

I do remember having one earbud in during the middle of a firefight and listening to a 'Heroes of the Web' at the same time. Didn't seem so weird to me at the time, but now looking back it seems rather laughably absurd.

Thread moves fast -- glad I didn't miss this as it's probably the most incredible thing I've heard relating to anything I've done. I'm happy to have helped, happier that you weren't hurt with Heroes of the Web in your ear at the time.

I hope this is true.

I still remember some gaffers claiming that the PS3 version of Skyrim was graphically better than the 360 one when the OT went live.
If there's any major technical problems with this game for either console, i have yet to come across it.

The ps3 version is fine if anyone is wondering. My friend just beat it.

How long is the game?
Took my friend around 11 hours. He's hardcore though

This is getting weirder all the time

Lol@Aussie severs under USA. Geography how does that work!?

On topic, someone said 11 hours to beat. That's pretty meaty for a single player fps these days.

More Crusader Kings 2. Seems to be the only game I can play now in between new releases. I got the platinum in god of war like 4 days after it came out so I'm kind of done with that forever already.

Just fucking wait until we get some down sampling, inject some AA, and someone figures out how to remove the HUD. The Bullshot thread will be sexual on Tuesday.

Oooooh, I'll need one where someone throws Booker off the City

Can't wait

Think I mentioned it earlier. Finishing Vanquish again now, god I love this game. Then maybe finishing TR Underworld.

Knowing work, I may not have time for anything else after Sunday night until Bioshock arrives probably Thursday.

Are there any laptops out at the moment that will run this well? My old laptop has died on me and i'm getting my annual bonus through work soon, would be good to pick something up that I can enjoy this on, otherwise I'll go the console route. I realise that it'll probably be super expensive though. I'm in the UK, if that makes a difference.

Someone was playing it on a Surface here.
