I wonder how viable a Skyhook-only playthrough is.
Thanks for the info. I have no problem with two weapons combined with all vigors.
...on 1999 mode

I'll find out in about less than an hour if i have to work on Tuesday or not if I do its ok I can hold out...I think by the time Amazon comes it wouldn't make much difference anyways.

I have a new goal for the year's end.
Opportunity abounds to switch weapons constantly. Ever AI drops the weapon it wields when killed, Tears contain weapons, vending machines contain weapons, the world contains weapons.
Do the weapons contain other weapons? This is important.

This is getting weirder all the time
Shawn, I want to ask, do you have a clear favourite level or moment in Infinite? You don't have to elaborate and say which one and spoil anything at all, I'm just getting the impression for some reason that this is more a consistently good game with no particular highs and lows. Or am I terribly wrong?

I played Bioshock 2 with mostly my Drill and Plasmids. In fact it was the best way to play.

I actually don't understand his complaint. The other weapons in Bioshock were plenty effective.

Your saves don't carry over so I don't see a reason you need to keep the games on the same console for continuity sake. Buy it for PC. I think you will regret it if you don't.
I always just considered Bioshock's super-wrench as one of the most obvious homages to System Shock 2.

Yay I'm off Tuesday at least I have work all weekend even Monday so I don't have to be home just waiting. Besides Tuesday. Just wish I knew what version to get.

I have always wanted to do a wrench only run, but I always end up using firearms.

If you buy it on steam you can pre-load now but I heard that GMG doesn't get their keys until Tuesday.
I went to steam to pre-load it, but it took like two seconds and the pre-load option still pops up when I click on the game. I can't imagine that's right, is it?

Do you know how big the download is? Stupid bandwidth caps and March has been a big month for games.

Tuesday? wtf.
I've heard this Tuesday thing a few places but have yet to see an official source on it. GMG usually starts sending out keys Friday-to-Monday before the release.

Restart steam, the same thing happened to me.

GMG never guarantee pre loads but they usually get it to you before the release date.

14.9 GB
As I mentioned before, I got my Steam key for DmC from GMG in time to pre-load that game. I think this Tuesday thing is just an unsubstantiated rumor, I would be surprised if I didn't have the game pre-loaded by the time it unlocks on Steam.
And apparently a ~10GB HD Texture pack.
Worked! Thanks.

Has anyone here received the AMD Reloaded code yet? Do you also get a code for the Industrial Revolution game?

I don't understand why they wouldn't get their keys early considering Amazon is handing them out today I think.

It won't work right away but yes. You have to wait until 30 days have passed to use the credit on the season pass (according to Tony on CAG).

Man he was talking about some stuff I didn't wanna know lol. I only watched a small bit but I turned it off too fast. I hadn't watched any real trailers since the first one I think.

Wow I just heard about the 2 weapon limit, what the hell? That is super disappointing. How are you supposed to have the strategic elements from Bioshock 1 without lots of weapons at your disposal?
In Bio 1 on the hardest difficulty you would need to set traps, use all weapons to take out multiple big daddy's etc. because you would be low on ammo. 2 weapon limit really sucks, it's less fun.

Well, they've stated Elizabeth can help keep more at your disposal, also you can have the many different vigors available.
Two weapons carried is probably enough for 1999 mode
10+gig high res texture pack.
Did anyone post up Part 2 of Ken reading BioShock Fan Fiction? These are so good.

Hahaha. This one is amazing!!
Where will this be available? Can I pre-load that too, or will I have to wait until later?
Who says you can't run low on ammo with two weapons at a time. In fact, when this happens, you're then forced to find weapons in the environment or takedown enemies in order to grab their guns. As I mentioned before there are many many ways to obtain weapons in combat encounters. You actually have a greater number pf weapons at your disposal.
It will unlock at the same time as the base game and you will download it from there.
So either you play it without HD textures, or you have to wait another 2 hours or whatever to download it. This is how Sleeping Dogs handled it at launch, I remember. Pre-loaded the base game, then had to download the texture pack at the unlock time.
It would be nice to be able to pre-load the HD textures, but Steam just doesn't support that right now. I think it might be time to start thinking about implementing a system like this, seeing as how this texture pack is larger than the vast majority of major releases on Steam anyway.
