Quicksaving on consoles was awful the last time I played Bioshock 1/2 with chambers off. Unless there's going to be a dedicated button for it like Mass Effect 3 (of all games too lol) then I'm disappointed.

What was so bad about it? Quicksaving is convenient as fuck as long as you remain level headed about it.

On consoles it is not a quick process in comparison to pc. Mass Effect 3 assigned that useless select button for quicksaving and that was one of the few things it got right.
 
I dunno man, the first two Max Paynes nailed down quicksaving pretty damn well on the OG Xbox.
But the last two bioshocks did not. This is why I'm hoping the process is painless for infinite. This complaint is mainly for PS3 just in case the 360 version handled it differently.
 
I'm not feeling the hype for this game that I once did, but I think part of it is that I'm having trouble understanding that this game really is just two weeks away from releasing. It seems such a long time ago that I felt so jacked for this after it was first revealed. Now, just two weeks. I imagine that when I start playing this game and exploring the world, I won't be able to stop. Both BioShock games just clicked with me like that.

The shock and numbness is natural man. My suggestion is to stick with us for comfort. We have warm blankets and bread.
 
im torn on getting the ps3 for move or pc ver for graphics.

Cheaper
Better pre order incentives
Better controls
Better visuals
Higher resolution
Higher framerate

Is there even a question what platform to get it on?

Did you burn yourself out by watching and reading too much preview material?
By playing through the prequels?
 
I really hope this game ends up being awesome. This thread has made me feel a bit depressed about the game but hopefully the reviews will say otherwise :)
 
I have no problem with a CG one. The debut trailer to Infinite and Bioshock 2 launch trailer are amazing!
 
BioShock: Infinite “will live long in the memory of gamers”, says publisher

Speaking with MCV, the publisher’s UK marketing boss Simon Turner said, “BioShock Infinite is like no other shooter out there.

“Not only does it demonstrate the technical quality that gamers expect, but the story and characters invite you into a world so rich and immersive that people will be talking about it for a long time to come.”

Now, I know what you’re thinking right? ‘Of course the publisher would say that’, but as I recall people still talk about the original BioShock a lot to this day, and it frequently makes best-of lists around the web. So maybe, just maybe Ken Levine and company can repeat the feat?

What do you think?

Meanwhile, Irrational is teasing the BioShock: Infinite launch trailer by way of a screenshot. It shows a Handyman about to whale on a hapless fool. Check it out here:
 
Steam would be your best bet, I think. You should be able to sell the TF2 items for around $10 at the least, and I'm sure you wouldn't have trouble finding somebody willing to purchase your copy of XCOM for the very same amount. $10 in Steam Wallet funds + $10 in your PayPal account = Season Pass. If you hit up SalsaShark, he'll be able to get you the game for $45 as he lives in South America (don't worry, it's not region-locked).



The credit can't be used on the Season Pass:

Thanks for the info! I will pick it up on steam.
 
I liked Colma but no way its happenin. Again, in Colmas case.

I mean, it's crafty, but it's stupid. This game deserves much more than some clever toilet humor for its thread title.

You have to admit, it's a valid question.

Maybe a Vita Chamberpot?
