TheMightyEthan Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 But the game can't fix the drift, that problem is at a lower level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) The CGI commercial was kinda cool in its own way, but Elizabeth and Booker looked different. To me, they both looked older. As in, Elizabeth is this almost-20 girl, but she looks late 20's. Booker has always given me this mid-30's "prime" vibe, but in the trailer it's like he's about to have his mid-life crisis. So everyone can see what I'm talking about, or if they didn't see it before. Edited March 19, 2013 by Atomsk88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I think that might have to do with the pretty big change in artstyle between the game and this. While the game itself has a more cartoony vibe that trailer tried to give it a bit more realism, which for some tends to mean "make the look older" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Wait, is the cleavage going to be there or not?! This is urgent information! A pre-order hangs in the balance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I really like this video. It shows how, with dedication and a willingness to create a genuine personality, you can create a human being even if they only exist in a virtual space.

deanb Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 PS3 version has leaked (scoff at PC piracy problem once more) which means /v/ are filling the interwebs with spoilers. So bit of a warning there. As far as Elizabeth goes, she better be good cos game-long escort quest already docks a bunch of points in likeability of the character.

Mal Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I actually welcome the leak. Doesn't IGN or some other outlet have an "exclusive" review? With a leak, we can get a real idea off how the game really is. Yes, the PC version may have some problems not seen in the console version but if the game is good, I'm sure it can be fixed though some problems shouldn't even be there in the first place.

deanb Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Where've you heard about the PC version having problems? Also if you're really wanting a look at the leak, here it is posted on Reddit.

CorgiShinobi Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 As far as Elizabeth goes, she better be good cos game-long escort quest already docks a bunch of points in likeability of the character. As much has been shown, since I can remember, she can handle herself. I think the design allows you to get into full-on gunfights without you having to worry about her health. She's more of an assist than an escort as she'll give you supplies and use her special power to materialize items from dimensional pockets. Not to mention, unless the game has changed, but we can expect moments when Elizabeth will be taken away from Booker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Where've you heard about the PC version having problems? Nowhere but remembering back to Bioshock 1 and 2, I do recall Irrational having to do some fixes. Nothing game breaking, just annoyances (I seem to recall something about mouse inputs). And I shouldn't have peeked but... I think its fair to say we should judge the story ourselves. We're working off summaries. As for the gameplay, I dunno. My quick peek didn't get me anything.

deanb Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Well the "escorted person gets taken away and now you've got to get them back" is a standard feature of escort games. It's more an issue of the AI that I have. Issue with Bioshock 1 was mainly the whole GFWL stuff (Infinite is Steamworks) and 2 being ballsed up controls and no controller support, but that wasn't Irrational made. I'm kinda hoping those two main issues should be smoothed out come Infinite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Well god dammit Malicious what you said isn't exactly making me feel positive around the story. Oh well the story could be shit but as long as Booker and Elizabeth have a good relationship and dialogue I'll enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 WaS, it made me feel uneasy as well but I'm figuring most serious gamers wouldn't go out and get the leak. Hell, I think those who do are likely to be folks who want their cake after they eaten it (AKA entitled asses). Despite saying that... Would someone kindly give me an idea of the actual game. If it all works outs, I'm game (As in GMG...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Oh wow, I didn't realize it, but the cover of the PS3 version says it includes the first BioShock. Of course I've had that game since late 2010, and got it for cheap too, but at this point as a PS3 owner, you can can own all of BioShock for the price of Infinite. Well, so long BioShock 2 is still free for PS+. As for story leaks, I don't bother with them because you have to experience these things. Take some of the best games, maybe think of some experiences where you've tried to explain them to others, and think about how it sounds. So that first BioShock, you're a guy who found a lighthouse that led to an underwater city. There he finds people who gained mutant powers by a substance derived from sea slugs hosted in the bodies of little girls. Those little girls have giant metal guardians composed of human organs and diving suits. And, like, there's this line "A MAN CHOOSES, A SLAVE OBEYS!" It's really cool in context cause you're beating the guy to death at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/03/22/bioshock-infinite-pc-review And there we go. If you want numbers... 9.4 for consoles, 9.5 for PC. Kind of odd but eh. Edited March 22, 2013 by MaliciousH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I won't have Infinite on Tuesday, lack of Release Day shipping, (I think maybe because it was the Premium Edition) but at the same time I don't have work on Wednesday. Unless I end up having to evacuate town, Wednesday is my day to explore Infinite (for a finite time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Remember all that hub-bub about the cover art? Remember how we got to vote for the alternative? Someone made a post about it on r/gaming, and so the winner was... It was my second choice, though the cover I wanted will be on the artbook (if I ever want it). Thing is, my only complaint about the above cover was fixed: the logo! The preview we saw when voting had the standard Infinite logo that looked out of place, but now it's illustrated like the rest of the piece.

Mal Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 If this sucks, I will for sure wear off pre-ordering. Also preloading is up on Steam. Not like it matters for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
