Just finished. Damn. Amazing game. Even though I kinda saw part of the ending coming, the way it played out was just beautiful.

That's insane

Extreme Angle 04-05-2013 06:16 AM

Not hidden music, literally just used to get some eerie ambient sounds in. A girl on my course did something very similar for her horror game...

PrettyCool 04-11-2013 11:32 PM

Im playing this game right now

Fignuts 04-12-2013 01:23 AM

About an hour in, and I've been slack jawed the whole time.

Just wow.

RP 04-12-2013 12:05 PM

Do i need to play the previous game to understand this one?

Shadow 04-12-2013 12:18 PM

No. It's completely separate story.

I'm on the final homestreach with my game. Just a bit more to do then...back to Skyrim. I got a Dragonborn to kill.

RP 04-12-2013 12:55 PM

Fuck you Shadow

Shadow 04-12-2013 02:37 PM

For giving you an answer without spoiling it at all?

Yeah fuck me too...almost signed off as my other online handle.

Shadow 04-13-2013 12:38 PM

And beat it.

Damn that ending.

Extreme Angle 04-13-2013 06:04 PM

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
Ill make you so sure about it

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you...

Crazy.

Fignuts 04-14-2013 04:03 AM

Finished it.

I have no idea what to say.

ClockShot 04-14-2013 09:56 PM

Fired this up finally and played a good hour.

Love it so far. Eye candy like you wouldn't believe.

Just one question: Are there save points across the game that I'm missing and/or a save from the options menu? Or is it strickly autosave points? Wanted to jump off then it told me last autosave was like 20 minutes ago. So I kept going until it saved again.

Could have remembered there was something you saved your progress at in the last 2 games.

Ermaximus 04-14-2013 10:19 PM

Just autosaves. No save points so you pretty much have to force save everything.

VSG 04-14-2013 10:28 PM

Saving this till I get my 27" 1440p monitor. Should be coming in tomorrow :cool:

That's my only complaint about the game. Despite I autosaved in the final act of the game, when I loaded it up, I went back to the Comstock House again.

It only loads up after you complete the mission, that's what I noticed.

ClockShot 04-15-2013 07:36 PM

Newman and Redford make an appearance? Heard some of the music from "The Sting" during the loading screen and it got me wondering....

Chavo Classic 04-16-2013 02:57 PM

Very good article on the Guardian website about the game: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...ical-reactions

Quote:

In taking the game seriously, I want to be as clear as possible: BioShock Infinite uses racism for no other reason than to make itself seem clever. Worse, it uses racism and real events in an incredibly superficial way—BioShock Infinite seeks not to make any meaningful statement about history or racism or America, but instead seeks to use an aesthetics of 'racism' and 'history' as a barrier to point to and claim importance. BioShock Infinite presents a veneer of intelligence—with wholly unexplored and mystifying asides to complicated concepts like Manifest Destiny and the New Eden—without ever following through. Without any deeper exploration of these ideas, BioShock Infinite's use of American history and the Columbian Exposition is illusory, and already puts the lie to the claim that by engaging with these themes, BioShock Infinite is the place to find substance in mainstream videogames.
In hindsight, I have to agree with this. There are elements of racism included for no other reason than to get the player to notice and applaude the game for being cotroversial. It doesn't add anything to the story and is exacerbated when

SPOILER: show
as soon as the Vox get hold of weapons, they start brutally murdering the white-dominated upper class, and Daisy attemptis to murder a child


If the designers were trying to replicate the tone of America in the early twentieth century, overt racism was one of many avenues they could have taken.

VSG 04-18-2013 03:43 PM

Holy fucking shit! I am so glad I waited till I got this monitor, this game has to be one of the best looking things ever.

loopydate 04-18-2013 08:07 PM

FINALLY bought this today. Got the next two days off and no plans. Life is good.

VSG 04-18-2013 08:12 PM

I am so sorry for the console guys if they are playing on what looks like medium graphics quality on pc. Also, seems the great music/sounds are very compressed on console and sound worse :'(

loopydate 04-21-2013 09:44 PM

Holy Christ, what a game! The original was my favorite game ever made, but this just surpassed it with ease. I've never wanted to restart a game immediately after finishing it before, and - if I didn't have to get to bed - I would restart tonight. I could write a novel here, but I think I need to decompress first.

VSG 04-22-2013 12:16 AM

Finished this earlier today- DAT ending! Really considering buying the season pass for the first time ever.

You damn well know they're the same person VSG. It's pretty much cut and dried that the only difference between the two is the fact that one's got tits and the other doesn't. Stop being a boob.

Fignuts 04-22-2013 01:22 AM

I'm sure VSG's manhood has shrunken enough now that three of us have challenged him on this manner. I think we can all leave him be.

Shadow 04-22-2013 02:45 AM

Right.

Talking about non-spoiler stuff, the city itself is just amazing. The details that you get make it one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. And the fact that the weather gets worse as you go through the game make it amazing as well. Just little details like that are what makes a good game.

Ermaximus 04-22-2013 02:42 PM

A single chromosomal difference.

Extreme Angle 04-22-2013 04:27 PM

Bought the Art of book off of Amazon. Some crazy stuff in there I hope they do for DLC. There's a Toy shop and stuff with some crazy motorized patriot like enemies!

According to a LinkedIn employee profile, the first upcoming DLC pack is being planned to include a new AI companion character for the game.

Quote:

Twitter user @supererogatory first discovered the update to Michael Shahan's LinkedIn profile. Shahan is a Senior Animator at 2K Games. Under the heading "BioShock Infinite DLC1," he mentions "Providing animation and R&D for a new AI companion character."

......YEEEEEEEEE!

ClockShot 04-30-2013 04:52 PM

Just wrapped this up a couple minutes ago

SPOILER: show
Didn't care about the ending. Stupid dimension hopping. Kinda bummed out it wasn't a happy ending. The trip back to Rapture was nice.


Now just to speed run 1999 mode and this will be done.

ClockShot 05-01-2013 03:12 PM

Started '99 run today.

Any pointers/advice from those who are in the process or have completed it?

Other than "don't spend alot", "sniper rifle is your best friend", etc.

Pick two weapons you are most comfortable with and only use them. Upgrade them, and them only. For me it was the Sniper Rifle and the Hand Cannon as both are pretty much 1 hit kills. Upgrade the shit out of your vigors. Use possession on every vending machine you can, even the dollar bill ones. Use Elizabeth to warp in help every chance you get. Use possession on firemen and Washington's anytime you can in a big clusterfuck fight. Also, UNDERTOW, UNDERTOW, UNDERTOW!

VSG 05-02-2013 06:57 PM

I would say just choose 2-3 vigors to use and upgrade, cash is so fucking important. For me it was possession, Murder of Crows and Devil's Kiss. I used Charge and Undertow as is at crucial times though. Also, that piece of gear that gives you 70% melee immolation and that other one that restore full health upon death are priceless.

VSG 05-04-2013 10:31 PM

Caved in and bought the Season Pass from GMG for $12. Really hoping for a "Little Sister" AI companion or something like that.

Shadow 05-05-2013 12:57 PM

So utter retarded and can't do shit?

Seriously Elizabeth might not be very useful when gunning down the hoards but at least she's not a god damn tower defense that just sits there and doesn't do shit. At least she can open up tears to aid you and throw you ammo and supplies.

VSG 05-05-2013 04:55 PM

I am sure they will find a way to make it more than just a stupid "protect your companion" thing. I remember an article where the makers clearly said they did not want Elizabeth to be another liability because everyone knows how much that sucks.

Ermaximus 05-06-2013 11:03 PM

Elizabeth > Ashley from RE4.

ClockShot 05-09-2013 10:51 AM

Just about at the end of my 1999 run. Just gotta crawl through the last 100 yards and that'll be the end of it.

VSG 05-09-2013 11:20 AM

That last fucking tower defense mission is ridiculous on 1999 mode.

ClockShot 05-10-2013 07:59 PM

YO ADRIAN, I DID IT!

1999 completed. End wasn't so bad. A few notches easier than the last part of Mass Effect 3, imo.

He sued the show and the judge pretty much told him he had no case.

They have been rotating 4th bidders in lately. Nabila, Ivy, those strange twins, Mark (before he killed himself), and these 2 greasy looking mooks.

the one brief scene in the end inside Rapture. Just never got my question answered if Elizabeth is somehow related to Sophia Lamb...

Shadow 05-20-2013 12:57 AM

She's not. She's from another universe.

DAMN iNATOR 05-20-2013 02:07 PM

Really wish they would've done some sort of tie-in with the other games though other than just

, but oh well.

Ultra Mantis 05-20-2013 05:50 PM

They did, listen to the voxophones. All of the tech designed by Fink (including Vigors and Songbird) is actually Tenenbaum's work that he copied by watching her through the tears

This first DLC sucks balls but the other 2 sound fantastic.

Ermaximus 07-30-2013 05:11 PM

I don't see the need nor want for almost every game these days to have a "horde-esque" wave based mode.

The 2 Burial at Sea dlcs are subtitled Episode 1 and Episode 2, but no, I don't believe they will be.

DAMN iNATOR 08-02-2013 10:30 PM

Also can't believe I still haven't started a 1999 Mode playthrough yet. :-\ Should probably get on that before Grand Theft Auto V takes over my life.

The 2nd part of DLC: You get to play as Elizabeth!!!! O___O *dies*

If they do, I wish they'd do it in a 3rd person view.. That'll be great.

XCaliber 08-25-2013 11:28 PM

Finally got around to finishing this game the other night and I thought it was fun but I still prefer the original game which is why I'm curious to see what the DLC brings as I hope it clarifies a few things.

VSG 11-13-2013 02:55 AM

Burial at Sea Part 1 came out today. Great visuals and starts off in Rapture at the peak of its glory. It was awesome just walking around before all the mayhem begins. I played around an hour or so, apparently only 2-3 hours of gameplay so I recommend getting season pass on discount elsewhere and saving a good 40-50%.

VSG 11-17-2013 07:11 PM

No one else played this? Finally got time to finish this and the ending was pretty awesome albeit "sadder". Fits very nicely with the whole BioShock Infinite world.

Ermaximus 11-18-2013 12:08 AM

I'm working on it man, chill.

The Rogerer 11-18-2013 06:23 AM

I enjoyed it, and yet I don't know if I'd recommend it rationally. I have a lot of affection for Bioshock as a series so I was happy to be back. I knew it was going to be short but I still felt surprised when it ended.

Shisen Kopf 02-08-2014 11:47 PM

I done beat this game today. Woooooo!

Emperor Smeat 03-25-2014 05:13 PM

The second episode of Bioshock Infinite’s Burial at Sea add-on will require two downloads on Xbox 360 due to its size, according to developer Irrational Games.

Irrational added that the total size of the DLC will be between 6-10GB depending on the platform.

For those wondering exactly when the DLC will be released: Xbox 360 owners can download it from 5 a.m. EDT, it will be on PC between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. EDT, and on PS3 between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. EDT. PS3 owners in Europe will have to wait until tomorrow.

Jesus thats bigger than most full games.

VSG 03-28-2014 05:23 PM

Played through the second DLC today- a lot bigger than the first one and a ridiculous ending as is expected from the franchise. They did a great job tying up Colombia and Rapture as well as the end of the series to the start of the series. I won't say any more but it is definitely worth the playthrough.

Ermaximus 03-31-2014 11:27 AM

Just got back to Columbia. This DLC is crazy good though.

VSG 04-02-2014 11:59 AM

The ending was particularly satisfying for me, even if it was an expected one.

Ermaximus 04-02-2014 03:02 PM

That ending makes perfect sense, but for a minute there I thought they were going to go a different route with it.

VSG 04-03-2014 03:36 AM

Ya- that's pretty much it. Good, logical albeit expected ending.
