Drewstein69 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I got mine today when EB opened up and I didn't realize, at least on the PS3 version, the Original Bioshock is also included I had beaten it before on my 360 but since that's not red ringed, I'm stoked to be able to play through it again on my PS3 "We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." -- Charles Bukowski Link to comment
RisenPhoenix Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I didn't preorder it, but I plan on picking up a copy after work today. Contemplated stopping by during lunch, but then I went out with coworkers instead. I cannot wait to get home later tonight to crack it open.

fortysixtwo Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 It looks awesome but I am also in the poor camp at the moment. Link to comment
Raikas Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I thought about picking it up last night, but I'm too busy to do a rush playthough, so I figured I'd wait.

Drewstein69 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I actually just beat it this afternoon and no worries, I won't have any spoilers related to it. Aside from that, it was an amazing experience and I highly suggest that if you're comfortable with FPS's, play it on Hard. It's a challenege but a worthwhile one. Also, just what gets addressed in the game and how the story itself unfolds, I know that it'll be on my mind for awhile, even moreso than the original Bioshock but probably just as much as System Shock 2 "We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." -- Charles Bukowski Link to comment
stevembk Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Ill look into it when it gets a little cheaper. I like like the bright colorful graphics ive seen compared to the darker first 2. I will being playing Dragon's Dogma until the Level Cap on Borderlands 2 gets raised next tuesday.

Drewstein69 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 About 12 hours and I played on Hard so Normal may be an hour or so faster "We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." -- Charles Bukowski Link to comment

sumdawgtwigg Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 It's kinda grabbed my attention but I was not a huge fan of the original game. I tend not to like games that are as dark as Bioshock. So maybe it's the bright colorful graphics that got me interested. lol "It's always the ones that don't do anything that try to bring you down" - Henry Rollins "There is no meantime, there is only now" - The Ditty Bops Trail Blazing Elf Ranger Sumdawgtwigg Level 3 STR-3 DEX-4 STA-4 CON-3 WIS-5 CHA-2 Fitocracy My Game Blog DO IT CHALLENGE!

RisenPhoenix Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I started playing the game last night on Hard.... then wimped out and put it down to Normal/Medium. I figure once I get a better grasp of the mechanics I'll replay on Hard. Also, I don't want my deaths to drain any more money out of me and prevent me from buying any Vigor Aides.

Drewstein69 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Also, I don't want my deaths to drain any more money out of me and prevent me from buying any Vigor Aides. I can understand that logic fully, especially with the deaths I had hahaha. I offset it by focusing only on a few Vigors to upgrade, mainly Murder of Crows and Shock Jockey. I used Possesion occasionally but mainly did those 2, and combining them helped a lot as well "We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." -- Charles Bukowski Link to comment

Drewstein69 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Yea, the ending is something...I'm not going to post any spoilers out of courtesy for anyone who hasn't played/completed it yet. If there's enough interest, I suppose there could be a topic made in the forums about the ending itself cause yea...there's a lot to talk about haha "We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." -- Charles Bukowski Link to comment
WordSmith Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I just beat it yesterday. It's definitely worth a playthrough. I still have the first two so I'll be adding this one to my permanent collection. Lvl 1 Human RangerSTR - 2 DEX - 2STA - 2 CON - 3WIS - 2 CHA - 4"The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny."

RisenPhoenix Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I can understand that logic fully, especially with the deaths I had hahaha. I offset it by focusing only on a few Vigors to upgrade, mainly Murder of Crows and Shock Jockey. I used Possesion occasionally but mainly did those 2, and combining them helped a lot as well I've pretty much focused on Vigors at this point. I maxed out my salts, and throw vigors around generously. I have enough salts that I can do a good chunk of damage before breaking out my shot gun, and by the time I need to fall back Elisabeth throws me some additional Salts. I tend to use Crows/Shock Jockey or Bronco/Devil's kiss as combinations, and then switch things out as needed (like possession for mechs and patriots). I ended up buying the season pass this weekend, but had already passed the point where I could get all those infusion bottles. I'm thinking the next play through will be on Hard/1999 mode though, so they'll come in handy. Hopefully I can beat the game this week...

Teros Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 loved loved loved the first bioshock. didn't really like the 2nd bioshock. got maybe halfway through infinite but I was having a hard time (understandably since i didn't upgrade anything because I wasn't sure what to choose.). Once I try out the 4 games on my gamequeue at gamefly I'll probably re-rent it and beat it. Link to comment
