Bioshock: Infinite

[c3r1h5]

I've been waiting for this game since the first announcement (LOVE Bioshock)... but some a-hole ruined the ending on IGN in the comments section before it was pulled. Ever since I read it I keep thinking about it as I play. I can't get into the story like I did for Bioshock. It really stinks because it's a great atmosphere. Hopefully I can switch it off in my head.

Have any of you who've played it tried jumping off Columbia? I'm curious if it's possible to fall to your death--if so--they made an elaborate animation or sequence for it.

You can't, you will just respawn where you jumped off.

A few screenshot I took on Steam. I'm using the last one as my desktop.

Pics of my statue..one of the better ones to come with a game.
Next to Mort, size comparison

Those are great pics and that statue looks real nice. Congrats!

Loving the game. Covering every square inch. Just got the shock jockey, and powered up Gondola.
that's my pace so far, taking a long break now and play later tonight again lol

I'm about in the same place. Things really pick up around that point.

I just finished it. Fantastic game.

The Songbird statue looks nice. It looked a lot cheaper in the promo pics, so it seems to look much better in hand.

SSD are starting to look even more expensive to me in the future with all of these PC games coming out with 15+ GB space requirement. This game being 30GB is a shocker!

I just saw the trailer for Battlefield 4 and that will definatly take up ALOT of space. I only have a 240GB SSD and after installing 7 total games since last year I will have only about 45GB left of free space.

I finished the story tonight. Didn't exactly mean to. It just happened. I tried work out the story to understand what the hell the whole thing was about, but I only hurt my brain. This story creates a LOT of questions. My biggest question is whaaa?

You could always uninstall some of the games...

Get an external of a TB, maybe two, and once you finish a game, move it there.

That's too bad. It would've been cool if you had that obvious risk of falling off the floating city. Maybe the first time you did it there could be an awesome POV falling to the Earth sequence.

Just finished...all I can say is holy hell...that is one mind trip of an ending. Wow....so good and so warped at the same time. I love it!

Just beat it, it's bittersweet. Lots of sadness, lots of mind f'ing. Brilliant plot, great job with Elizabeth. She didn't get in the way, genuinely helps to the point I wanted her back to assist me, and I cared about what happened to the characters. Loved it all around.

Rapture cameo was awesome. All in all a fun adventure and sad story like Inception meets Looper.

Good article about the ending. Some things are spelled out, alot isn't. One big thing you may have missed.

Spoiler

When you get to Rapture, Elizabeth explains it by saying it’s another possible universe. Okay, I thought, we’re simply playing in a different game universe accessed via lighthouse, and didn’t really think about it much past that.

What I failed to realize is what she really meant. That Rapture, and really all the events of the original BioShock are direct, alternate parallels of everything that happens in BioShock Infinite, right down to the characters themselves.

The proof that can’t be overlooked? In the original BioShock, it’s made expressly clear that only Andrew Ryan himself can operate the Bathyspheres in the city once they’re on lockdown. Part of the twist of that game as that you can also operate them, and you eventually discover than you, as Jack, are Andrew Ryan’s illegitimate son (or probable clone) which allows you to use them yourself.

In Infinite, you’re operating them once again.

The implication here is that DeWitt/Comstock is Jack/Andrew Ryan .

I'm only at the point of going to find the Gunsmith.
Enjoying every moment and making sure I open all safes and doors, so a bit of backtracking too, to make sure I do that. Find all the gear pieces etc.

For those playing the console versions, how do they look? I know PC will dominate, but don't want to mess with Steam myself

The ending is going to brain **** me for a while. It's 11 am and I haven't gone to sleep yet and doubt I will now. After reading a few articles I feel like I have a really solid grasp on everything now and it's quite amazing. Forget GOTY, this is probably the best video game plot I've ever seen when you finally start to get it all togeather and high in the running for all entertainment media. Ken Levine did a fantastic job with this.
