Oh you mean you didn't expect Spec Ops spoilers in a thread of a totally unrelated game?!
Captain Martin Walker is Songbird.

So I haven't been keeping up with much of this game. Is Songbird like... an actual bird thing or a person with a stupid codename?
Are Songbirds the new Big Daddy?

We dont know yet...
I think the Heavy Hitters seem more Big Daddy-ish.
Songbird is on a whole other level.

It's a robotic bird-like enemy. It's in the OP actually and it's on the alternate cover (also in the OP).

I assume Songbird is a guy inside a suit.
But according to Levine in a recent interview, if the Big Daddy concept from Bioshock 1 evolved into an analog in Infinite... it would be Elizabeth.

Have you even seen a single trailer? Songbird has been in nearly every trailer. It and elizabeth are the two most advertised characters in the game (not including booker since its a fps).
Anyway, yes its similar in style to a big daddy except there's only one and its elizabeth's prison guard and hunts/searches for her when Booker broke her out.
Still a secret.

Nice. My gamestop is doing a midnight release.

Heavy Hitter = Big Daddies
Songbird = Big Sister with Wings... "Told them not to give them
The last, and only, midnight release I've been to was for Final Fantasy XIII at the GameStop in the mall. We played BlazBlue all night, watched Advent Children, and one of the unusually attractive female store managers dressed up as Lightning and everyone was running around the (empty, after operating hours) mall shooting each other with Nerf guns. Surprisingly fun.
That GameStop got closed down last month in the nation-wide mass-closings.

I've been to a few of them, but the coolest one I have ever attended was definitely Halo 3.
Some dude had a tv in the back of his Jeep and we played Melee, the Dunkin Donuts down the street sold me all of the donuts they had left for $15, and they had a Mountain Dew Rep there giving out free Game Fuel.
The last for me was Halo 4. There were a bunch of kids there and a DJ was playing dubstep and serving juice.
I wanted to eat a bullet.
Ya, Halo is too mainstream. You have to go to one of the nerdier release parties, I guess.

That sounds like the opposite of fun.

I should clarify, I gave the donuts away to everyone there
There is no way to ask that question without sounding like a douche.
Making fun of it in a room with 30 other FF nerds was like MST3K. We were enjoying it ironically. The action scenes are well choreographed and look great on BluRay.

Wtf? Why would you post this unspoiler tagged? I doubt its real but come on man.
That's not what that says, through. It says "We'd recommend you check it out, but its a pre-requisite for Infinite."
Whatever. Big time nit-picking.
So pumped for IGN's Infinite/10 score.
I know you're joking, but this thread is extremely sensitive about this right now. I would recommend editing it before being banned. The mods aren't fucking around after yesterday.

I guess youre right lol. I was like "dozens of donuts AND mountain dew?". I had to ask after watching Sugar: the Bitter Truth.

So what wording/phrases do you all expect from ign's 10/10 "it was okay" review? Im betting on visceral, Ken Levine's finest hour, unhinged, and tour de force. Breathtaking is a safe one too.

Like Bioshock 1, but in the sky!
It's hard to find decent nerd release parties in south Florida. Thankfully my local GS is doing a midnight for Infinite but I doubt many will be there.

Even more stuff happened yesterday? Are some people just biding their time for times like this to suicide their account?

I've been to three midnight releases in my life:
Rage Against the Machine - Evil Empire (1996)
Halo 2 (2004)
MGS4 (2008)
The Halo 2 one was at the EB flagship store at Universal CityWalk, and it was one of the most nightmarish experiences of my life. We got there at like 6PM and were still somewhere around 300th in line. This was before dubstep, but there was a DJ pumping out the most godawful garbage imaginable at the time. There were so many obnoxious douchebags in the crowd, and a camera crew from G4 or whatever going up and down the line blasting a blinding spotlight into our eyes. "I wanted to eat a bullet" sounds about right.
The MGS4 launch was way smaller and mellower, but those days are behind me. I missed the "How old is everyone" posts last night... I'll be 44 early next month. *wheeze*

The game will elevate from a mere shoot 'em up to an Oscar caliber drama.
This makes me jealous.

Seriously, expecting about a 9.0-9.5.
'I talk about the heart-wrenching section where Drake Booker is by himself and completely lost. He's on his last legs, he's desperate, and I'm right there with him. I'm pushing him through the journey at hand and it's clear that it's a game, but as he stumbles, seeks shelter and loses hope, my heart breaks.'

There will be at least three seperate uses of the term "mise en scène," each time used inappropriately.

To be fair, that goes for about 90% of the usage of that term
