Re: BioShock Infinite

Haven't played a bioshock before but hearing the great reviews and the $20 preorder bonus at best buy swayed me to preorder. Figure such a high review score I'll want to play it sometime in the future and saving $20 seemed like a win.

You won't regret it if you like engrossing shooters with very good stories.

I do enjoy shooters, and I'm always a fan of a good story.

Now i just have to finish Tomb Raider first.

Re: BioShock Infinite

Luved the first game! Second one was OK, but perhaps cause I didn't play too much of it. Can't wait for tomorrow!

Yeah I have 1 & 2 but never played them, but I really want to dive into this after seeing Sessler's review. I'm going down to the wire on whether to prepurchase. I don't usually do it but Tomb Raider worked out well for me, and I've been interested in XCOM and it comes free with the prepurchase.

Exclusive Bioshock Infinite Audio Mode for Pulse – Elite Edition Headset

Tomorrow marks a big day for world-acclaimed studio Irrational Games with the release of Bioshock Infinite, so it’s only suitable that we mark the occasion with something special. For the first time, we are partnering with a game developer to deliver a specially crafted audio experience exclusive to PlayStation. Tonight at midnight, we are launching a new audio mode for the PULSE-Elite Edition Headset designed especially for BioShock Infinite. Better still, it will be free.
Why a custom audio mode? Irrational Games wanted to elevate the dark world of BioShock Infinite to a new level by providing a richer gameplay experience. We worked with them to take advantage of our new BassImpact technology embedded in the Pulse-Elite headset to create a sound profile that enables players to feel gunshots and explosions in a much more dynamic and powerful way.
Engineers on both teams worked together to tie the pulses from BassImpact to key audio elements in the game, creating a more immersive experience as you fight your way through Columbia as Booker DeWitt. We examined characteristics of sounds such as frequency and amplitude as well as gameplay data like attack times, then tailored the strength of the BassImpact actuator responses to complement those in-game sounds. This means that the pulse you feel from a gunshot will be different than the pulses you feel from an explosion. Irrational’s audio director Patrick Balthrop was overheard remarking that the game sounds “excellent” on the Pulse-Elite. You can download the BioShock Infinite audio mode at no cost from the free Pulse-Elite Manager App which launched in December. You can find both on PlayStation Store.

Polygon - 10



Rock, Paper, Shotgun

I really like Polygon, their staff seems to analyse games in the same way that I do.

Re: BioShock Infinite

The big question for me is what if I didn't like bioshock 1? I just thought it was OK and never finished it. This does seem different with more characters and a pace where you can explore a little bit - so I'd love to hear from someone else who didn't REALLY enjoy #1

Normally I'd just get it, but this generation has just pumped out more quality games and I find I"m only getting games I've been pumped about for months more and more and not having time to get into stuff that's not really on my radar in terms of my normal personal tastes

I am in the same boat as I thought Bioshock 1 was just okay and never cared to finish it.

Watching some videos on Infinite now to get a better idea.

I have previously stated that I was never big on either of the Bioshocks, and I absolutely ate this game up. YMMV as always, but this is the best shooter I've played in years (and one of the only ones I've truly enjoyed.)

If you're looking for COD gameplay, look elsewhere. There's still plenty of action in the game, but the focus is more on the characters and the setting, which are nailed.

There's always redbox, if you want to try before you buy.

Not sure why the COD cheapshot was needed but okay.

Some people just can't get into certain things whether it is Halo, Mass Effect, or Call of Duty.

There was no cheapshot, I just said the gameplay is not comparable to COD so if you go in expecting that this isn't your game.

Re: BioShock Infinite

I just picked this up this afternoon and only got about 2 hours in before work but wow, I was into it and can't wait to get back home and keep playing. The game just feels completely different that the first game. I think it's mostly due to the areas feeling a lot more wide open in Infinite as opposed to Bioshock which definitely felt smaller and made that action feel more frantic since everything was happening right in front of you.

I've found normal to be pretty easy so far(a lot easier than Bioshock from what I remember) and saw an article on PCGamer that said to play it on hard but for now I'll probably stick with it on normal since I can already see my self replaying this game at least once so I'll save hard for later.

It's just a great game all around though and I can't wait to keep playing. It looks fantastic and the world just looks so awesome I'm always looking around watching the ships floating by or just watching people and stuff moving around the city. Even if Bioshock wasn't your thing I can see people liking this a lot more than the first.

Because every FPS is "like" call of duty (sarcasm)

Decided to keep it and get to playing it later today.
