I'm not terribly far into it, but it has its moments. It's not anywhere near Bioshock in that respect, but there is an overwhelming sense of something weird going on. I guess I would liken it to the creepiness of a clown compared to a zombie, if that makes sense.

Just finished the game. I'm with Dave Lane on the ending. Meh... My husband and I just kind of looked at each other and then dove into a conversation of "What?"

I love the 80s music they've got in old vaudevilley sounding music, btw.

What is 1999 mode, anyone? Just a hard level or any cool things?

Comparing it to Bioshock or System Shock is just stupid. It's not meant to be a freaking scary movie put into game form. Get over it.

It's like an Insane Mode.

I've been playing it for a week or so and it is really pretty good.
I had given up on 1st person shooters after COD pretty much killed it off.

It's a good game. However, my disc also came with the first Bioshock. That one is a creepy ****er.

Again I will reiterate if you want a good story check out I Am Alive, it came out last year. It's the bomb, of course I should mention it reminded me of Mirrors Edge although scary which was one of my favorite games last decade. :D

I got into Dead Space and beat all three I think I'll do the same with this franchise. I took a long hiatus from gaming for awhile so it's good to catch up on some of the great franchises I missed out on.

Finished it Tuesday night. Really enjoyed it, probably the most gaming fun I've had since Deus Ex: HR

Yes, lets not compare it to it's predecessors. :rolleyes: Why in the world should we compare star wars 1 to star wars 2? That wouldn't make sense would it?

I just got that a month ago on 360! Haven't played it past the first part when he gets rick rolled by that enhanced guy before he got 100 million dollar man'd. I also got Dark Souls but I've been too busy can't sit down and enjoy either of them on a constant basis.

You compare everything but the atmosphere as I've noticed everyone on here fell in love with the heart pounding dark atmosphere of the previous games. A little child could tell Infinite is NOTHING like those others in atmosphere. So that can't even be compared when you're already biased on it. But hey let's not think objectively here. Why would anyone do that? Living life subjectively is the tits!

Ok... I just beat it. Now then, my question here is.

WTF WAS THAT SHIT ALL ABOUT?

WARNING DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED THE GAME!!!!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Awesome ending. Awesome narrative; one of the very best I've ever seen in a video game. Stupendous job of balancing thematic concerns with narrative. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the final battle.

Finished it on hard a couple days ago and started 1999 mode last night. Holy balls what a game. I loved the first two and had high expectations for infinite and it some how exceeded them.

Something that is helping me with 1999 mode: sniper rifle. Stay away and take off heads.

I used the hell out of the sniper rifle on my first play through. That, the dragoon looking hand cannon and the carbine. If you fully upgrade the SN is shoots fast as hell. Those three weapons made medium difficulty a cake walk.

Just finished infinite.....put me down for someone who really enjoyed the ending. I like movies and endings that dont necessarily answer every question directly....so I enjoyed it.

I'm sad now though......as I feel I'm saying goodbye to an old friend.

Guess I got to wait for DLC.


I do have a question about a certain scene that was in the trailer, but I didnt experience it during gameplay........but I'm not sure how to do the hide-spoilers thing.

It's a pretty dramatic scene from the trailer though....if anyone recalls what I'm thinking of.

Is there certain scenes that dont happen or happen, based upon the decisions you make (this first time through, I'm not in 99 mode)

I haven't played it and I can say with certainty that it was just to market. If you're talking about the TV spot obviously it was to market but if you're talking about a trailer with gameplay in it, then the wiki said it just wasn't put into the game.

I finally got around to playing this. It's definitely not comparable to the underwater versions. Totally different feel.

I loved the story and having a companion during the game. Elizabeth was an awesome character.

There were a couple of vigors I never even used. I really like the fireball, electricity and possession.

I wonder what the DLC's will include? If they don't involve the main characters then I'm probably not going to give a poop.

I liked infinite but I had more fun with 2.

I got to a certain point and stopped playing. The gameplay was quite good, but like borderlands, became repetitive.

Still a worthwhile game to suck up some time.

I got this for Christmas and have put quite a few hours into it already. I'm really enjoying it. It doesn't have the same "creepiness" factor as the original, but very good anyway.

This will be free on PSN+ in January.

What is PSN+?

Something thats not free.

This game was underwhelming for me. Not as good as hyped. They showed stuff as gameplay and took it out. I beat it and traded it in

Guru, where can I find a list of upcoming free ps+ games? If there is one

A really kickass service on Playstation 3, Playstation 4 and Playstation Vita that you pay $50 per year for and you get tons of quality games every single month at no extra charge.

picky pickyLMAO

Oh. I'm a computer gamer. The only console I have is a Wii that I never use.

Do they add the new games on the 1st of the month? I just joined PS+ in December, and I notice the new games are not on there today, and was not sure what day of the month they update the lineup.

No, the add a couple each week. Usually on Tuesday nights. Once you have them you can play them forever as long as you remain a member of PSN+.

Cool. Thanks for the info. Do I have to leave the games on my PS3 hard drive... i.e. if I delete a game to make room, and want to play it again later, can I re-download it since it is on my playstation download list?

As long as your are a PSN+ member you can delete and redownload as often as you want. Even if your membership lapses for a few months the games will still be there when you re join. Its a great services.

Cool. That is what I thought, but I wanted to make sure I was correct. I bit the bullet and bought a year when it was $29.99 in November, and then I got a year for Chirstmas as well. So i am set for a long awhile. I have downloaded some games, but have not had time to play during the holidays. Looking forward to getting into it more in the new year. Thanks for the info!

Bioshock 2 was great. It gets a lot of hate for whatever reason. But I think Infinite is a masterpiece and I wouldn't consider Bioshock 2 a masterpiece.

Bioshock 2 is average at best because, gameplay wise, it lacked all of the delicate pacing and atmosphere of the first one. It is far below average -- terrible actually -- when it comes to the story and themes. It's a bunch of heavy-handed false equivocating. Gross.

Just a reminder...

Is Puppetter and Lone Survivor any good?

Looked for BioShock around 1 am last night/this morning but it was not on there yet....hopefully it will available when I get home tonight.

Just finished Infinite and all I can say is wow.....incredibly awesome game.

Question, since I got the game through Playstation Plus, can I still buy the DLC...or do I need to buy the game first. Does anyone know if the Playstation Plus versions of games work with separately purchased DLC?

Now I am thinking of buying the first Bioshock...which version is considered the best...PC or PS3? I noticed Steam had a Bioshock HD for 20 bucks, I will probably wait for their next big sale if the PC version is the best way to go.

Played a couple of hours of the first Bioshock. Meh.

This bioshock was very meh. 2 was awesome!

2 is my favorite bioshock. Infinite sucked IMO

I loved Infinite, but it is the only one I have played. Why is 2 your favorite?

For the record, 2 was universally panned and 1 is considered to be one of the benchmarks in video game storytelling. Of course everybody has their own opinions, but the aggregate would seem to indicate Bioshock >>> Infinite >>>>>>>>>>>>>Bioshock 2.

Dude, go back and play the first two Bioshocks. Rapture is such a better setting than Columbia.

I've never understood the hate for Bioshock 2. Maybe it was because the storytelling in the first one was so top notch that almost anything was going to be a letdown after that.
It's funny this thread popped up tonight because I'm in the middle of going back and playing the first two. The original wins as far as storytelling, setting, and creepiness factor...but I've enjoyed the game play in part two a little more than the first.

For the record, I thought Infinite was cool, but it's such a departure from the first two that it almost made me feel like it was a different game.

I probably judge 2 too harshly just because the original is a top 3 video game experience for me. If Infinite followed 1, I'd probably have just as low of an opinion of it. Though looking at scores, it's clear that I'm not the only one who felt let down by 2.

Yea, you're far from the only one. Half the gamers I know despise the game. I believe you nailed the reasoning too.....it's not a bad game by any means, it just was a decent sequel to a grand slam of a game. Most gamers look at the original Bioshock the same way you do. I think part 2 was doomed from the start due to how magnificent the first game turned out.

That is what I had read, so I was surprised to see someone cite 2 as their favorite. I plan on playing the other two....just keeping my eye to get them on sale for a cheap price.

I enjoyed all three. 1 and 3 are both probably in my top 10. While yes, the settings of infinite are quite different than rapture - I felt infinite's story and character-building returned to the level of 1.

And as of last night, I have a new game in my top 5.......just finished Last of Us.

What an experience!

Last of Us is sitting on my shelf. Not sure if I will play that next. I have Last of Us, Beyond Two Souls, Injustice, Uncharted 2 and 3 that I want to play.

I must still be on a Bioshock high...because I would probably start playing the first one if it was sitting on my shelf.

What would be a good price for the first two? I wanna say my local Wal-Mart had a 2 pack of 1 and 2 for like 20 bucks.

Yup.

Bioshock was really incredible. I was sucked into that game hard core. Bioshock 2 was borderline turd stain. I neglected to play Infinite for a long time after being so disappointed with 2.

I think I saw that same two-pack for 20 bucks as well. a good deal.

I've never felt/cared for characters in a video game like I did in Last of Us.

Infinite was awesome, and I really liked the story and ending. But Last of Us puts you in the middle of a movie-quality experience. It was amazing.

I think the problem with 2 is that you really didn't feel like a Big Daddy when playing which hurts the concept of the game.

Infinite just didn't seem as fun to me

It's been a while since I last played the first one or Infinite. I liked both games even though I'm not into FPS games anymore.

Anyone else playing Burial At Sea: Episode 2? I started it yesterday. It's kinda hard. This from someone who beat the main campaign on 1999 mode. I'm playing this on normal and it's kind of a bitch. Maybe I'm just rusty?

And also...it's awesome so far.

Just finished Infinite. Pretty cool game. That ending. ....mind ****.

What is that? DLC?
