I've unlocked:
- 500 silver eagles
- 5 lockpicks
- Gear: Handyman Nemesis - deal more damage to any Handyman
- Gear: Sugar Rush - move faster for a short time after you eat a snack
- Gear: Fleet Feet - you won't slow down as much when you back away or sidestep
- Another unlock which I have not done

Ive got my stash ready to go, and another little treat up my sleeve, but its no hallucinogen. Cant believe you tripped during Bio 1. I wouldve been losing it (in a good way though)
I would be interested to see how the society of Bioshock Infinite would treat drug possession.
Serious thought. This Industrial Revolution game is actually surprisingly effective at "bringing me into the world" of Infinite. All the government propaganda and shit, this is fantastic.

Ok, I've been following the thread, and I see a few people from Irrational here, and I'll repeat my question..Is anyone in the internets who could give me impressions of the Move support of the game? I only hope that after the ending of the exclusive review of IGN some info will pop here or somewhere..

I plan to do this...no matter what
I'm envisioning a giant room full of play testers divided up between "control" and "nearly out of their effing tree" groups.

I wanna put this out there....though I know I'll get raged on.
Not every game needs mp. Many would agree this game surely doesn't. I remember Ken Levine in an interview stating that the game was essentially finished...and they were trying to get the mp to work for about a year. In the end it was scrapped. I believe Ken was quite vocal about the failing.
My question - how does a company with so much talent and support from their publisher fail to implement good mp?
Are we to simply accept that bioshock & mp just won't work? Bioshock 2 mp was marred by technical issues. But wasn't bad. Maybe just me but I enjoyed it for what it was. With a hope that it'd be improved on for the sequel.
Now, I fully accept that a game sp shouldn't suffer at the hands of resources being spent on mp. Recent Tomb Raider mp is not very good...but it was done separately from the sp with separate resources and dev team. No hindrance on sp.
So...will I love Infinite? Surely. Will I miss the potential that mp could've brought? I think so.

Anyone reserved the Premium Edition on Amazon. I hope them not listing release-date arrival for it is just a glitch, I really don't want to have to wait for Thursday. I know Metal Gear Rising didn't list release date arrival and it came on tuesday, so I'm holding out hope.

The only thing I'm not liking about industrial revolution is that it tries to make you pick a side without really knowing everything that is going on.
I want to do this and just ride the skyline for hours and hours. I'm still interested to see how the skyline actually works as if u can just travel for hours on it exploring or if it is just tied to small areas for combat.
Yeah, that or "Sure, the single player experience is great but with all the cool new weapons and abilities you unlock I can't help but feel the absence of an online death match mode is a missed opportunity."

Yeah, I just went with the Vox Populi because the name sounded cooler.
He said something in one of the Rev3 interviews. It just didn't work out. It doesn't matter how much talent/budget you have, but if the idea doesn't work out or is not executed well enough, there's no point? kinda like what happens with ideas that are cut in development.
Hey, Levine's reading creepy fanfiction. Why not YouTube comments?

I mentioned that before, I have no fucking idea why I'm choosing what I'm choosing. Just kind of going with it.

Just FYI, you get Facebook/Icons wallpaper faction sort of stuff(I don't remember exactly) when you beat the Fink manufacturing game. All the in game unlocks are the very early levels. I put everything into Vox and got Vox related icons.
Probably. I vividly remember the meltdown after Uncharted 3 got an 8 somewhere.

I hate that games are released on Tuesdays. I'll be at work while everyone else gets their grubby fingers on my new Bioshock 
Without really knowing anything about the process Irrational went though, just from looking at the combat in Bioshock Infinite, I can tell a lot of the combat is designed around using powers that change behaviours of enemies, be it making them friendly or crazy, or taking their guns away etc.
As soon as you replace AI with human players, these mechanics probably don't really work. Are you going to allow an opponent to use an ability that takes control away from you? That would be really annoying and probably really exploitable.
I think FPS's with "just guns" are well suited for multiplayer but I can see BI's combat really not working out.

Sadly, I have most of my vacation days tied up this year and I need to reserve some for when I'm actually sick in the unforeseen future
Just drink some orange juice and be a man about it, there's Bioshock to be played.Sadly, I have most of my vacation days tied up this year and I need to reserve some for when I'm actually sick in the unforeseen future

And it totally deserved it. It's still a good game, but not in UC2's league, IMO.
I didnt want to say it, because I knew someone else would and I agree.
I think in hindsight almost everyone would agree with this. With all the comparisons made when Tomb Raider came out, that much was obvious.

I've been avoiding all trailers.
edit: Oh boy now we are talking about the 7/10 scale. I wish a 10/10 scale was actually a 10/10 scale, but people treat 7/10 as average instead of 5/10.
He makes Andrew. seem like a normal fan.

How many details do we have about Elizabeth?
Like do we know if she has a personality or is she going to be a clone of like every single little Macguffin girl ever? See: Dishonored, Bioshock 2.
