I haven't played any of the dlcs but have some questions. Is the dlc accessible in-game? As in, do I need to go to a specific area to start it? Or can I select it in the menu and start that way? I have 1&2 on steam but no dlc, is the dlc purchasable separately?

You can select it from the main menu, no need to play anything else first. It's a seperate experience from Bioshock 2 proper

Both Minerva's Den and the Burial at Sea DLC are accessed as standalone stories you select on the main menu of their respective base games

Yep, I'll still put the first 5 minutes of BioShock up against any game's opening ever.
There's a decent amount of aliasing but everything else looks incredible. Especially if you're coming from the previous console versions.

Please please please, people who haven't played Minervas Den and Burial At Sea(after you've finished all the games for this one), please play them when you can.
Also, don't play Minerva's Den before Bioshock 2. Because i can almost guarantee you won't enjoy the main game as much if you did.

This is the truth.
The Last of Us prior to the title drop.
Agreed though, Bioshock is simply amazing. Infinite is as well! Made me feel like I was in The Wizard of Oz or something.the_batman

Fuck it, bought it on impulse through psn even though i could get it for 15 dollars cheaper in best buy, or when it eventually becomes discounted. The thought of playing them in 1080p and 60fps was too much to pass.

TLOU is great but I say BioShock beats it by being far more original in its premise, setting, art, script, etc. BioShock is incredibly different than most works that came before it in the medium. It feels so atmospheric and the period art is amazing. We knew what to expect in TLOU setting.The Last of Us prior to the title drop.

TLOU intro is one of the best of all-time but how quickly BioShock puts you in everything and how much of an immediate impact it makes for you to me sets it apart. It still is just as effective.The Last of Us prior to the title drop.
Once you 'know' about BioShock and then replay it the foreshadowing is sprinkled everywhere and makes it just as enjoyable.
Yup...exactly what happened to me. Will wait till tomorrow

Any major reviews out yet? I want to know if I should keep my preorder or not.

^^I'll likely do the same.
Going offline is an option.
im probably just going to wait for it to be fixed, I care about achievements too much lol
I was planning on skipping Minerva's Den since the description made it sound like it has nothing to do with the BS2 main story, but you've convinced me.
Same. It's a tragedy how dumbed down Infinite's gameplay is compared to the original since that came out seven years after the first one.
Not my first time playing either of them, but the only one I have finished is Infinite. I triple dipped 1 (360, PS3, PC) and double dipped 2 (PS3, PC). I don't know why I couldn't stay attentive to the earlier games.
but since they're not re-releasing Infinite on PC I was thinking that anybody who owned the base game would maybe automatically just receive all the DLC as well

Any frame rate comparisons out there? I'd prefer to get this on the bone due to the controller.

Playing on PS4. Smooth as can be, the visual upgrades are very noticeable.

The behind the scenes movie reels are actually well hidden and not highlighted which is a bit of a bummer. I stumbled on the first one inadvertently
on the stage behind where the first Little Sister/Big Daddy appear

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
I have an unopened copy sitting here, trying to decide what to do.
60fps and decent AA for 1 and 2 will probably have me open it.
I'd be a bit more lenient for 3, but i'd still expect a decent port.

I mean, obviously the correct order is release, but since you've played it I assume you mean chronologically? that'd be Infinite, BaS, Bio1, Bio2.

No one taking screens yet?
This physics aren't framelocked to 30 FPS so ragdolls and environment items that get tossed around don't look janky as fuck anymore at 60+ fps.

Game still creeps the ever living fuck out of me and I've played through it so many times. Did the Welcome. That's enough for tonight.
Very smooth so far.
Edit: Just caught my second freeze from pausing the game.
Xbox One or PS4?

Perfect. Played through Infinite earlier this year and wanted to jump into the first two games when this came to my attention.
