Bioshock Infinite

[Frogacuda]

I think it's more a symptom of not rethinking the elements from the original Bioshock. I think they could have incorporated violence, and even powers, in a way that better suited the narrative, but instead they stuck with what they had already done. There's something extremely excessive about the violence in this game, to the point where a little fist fighting would have made more sense. It's too eager to spill blood in the most gory way possible.

This is all true, although I have to say, the world really makes me want to explore, rather than just murder my way through it. It's not so much the fact that there's violence, but I'd really like more chances to interact with the people in a non-violent way like and RPG, just because well... it seems like that would be fun.

I wish the social and political commentary in this game was replaced by sky hooking dudes in the face.

Everything about this is awesome. Trying to find flaws is just grasping at straws like a dickhead.

Played this game on 1999 mode for about an hour, and I'm stuck.

Right after the raffle. I have no idea WTF I need to do. I'm on some kind of boat. I can't latch on to the rails with the skyhook.

This. Is. Stupid.

You have to try and walk onto Monument Island to trigger something first.

Thanks, I figured it out I think. I still haven't made it onto Monument Island. Still have to make it past that Fireman.

1999 mode is hard!

I just played it on regular hard first run. Challenge is decent, but there are too many consumables all over the place.

I think it was a mistake to use the same currency to pay for upgrades and revives. They should have separated the two, kinda like System Shock 2.

I'm also going to try playing with a 360 controller tonight. I find it hard to juggle vigors and guns and iron sights using just the mouse buttons and k/b.

Weird problem with that. Unlike vigors, you don't have a radial menu with guns AFAIK.

This game is awesome! If it gets better, it's the GOTY so far. The gunplay is good, the enmeies don't respwn all the time (so far), 1999 mode forces you to explore

I don't like having to choose between two guns all the time.

360 controller works great on PC.
