Captain Falcon Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks for that, that is cheap! Can't quite decide though, because I think I'd like Infinite to be my first experience of such a world/gameplay. Suppose I could just look at playing the first two afterwards though! I guess it depends how different the games play. Sometimes you play a game that is a sequel and then try to pick up the prequels only to find the advancements in gameply you got with the recent game make the other ones harder to swallow even if they were lauded as brilliant at the time. I'm currently facing that as I make my way through the first Deus Ex game after being blown away by Human Revolution (which if you haven't got, you desperately need to!) - I can see why it was so highly rated but it feels a bit dated now. Obviously these being closer together reduces the change for such improvements but it is still something to consider. Plus, if you play the first game and hate it, it's not like the games are going to be so radically different that you would love a follow up. Especially given a day one purchase for Inifinte will cost you more than the double pack though it's price will come down over time quite quickly I'd imagine like most other games do. You could always try holding out for a BioShock Trilogy Edition but it looks like they are trying to make a clean break here so I wouldn't hold my breath. It's up to you dude. I'm merely presenting options here - I'm not providing solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Man, I tried that too. The original Deus Ex is a pretty damn hard pill to swallow these days. I don't believe the original Bioshock will ever feel that way though, because a lot of what was worthwhile about that game came from the ambiance and the environment. System Shock 2 still plays pretty well these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 If you Pre-Order the PS3/PC version at Shopto you get the original Bioshock free via a download code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwarf Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'm pumped, going by the Twlight Zone-ish trailer I posted and all of the in-game world I've seen, I can only see it being awesome. Actually wish I'd not looked at so much footage now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 PS3 & 360 versions are £34.98, you basically get a free crap T-shirt included (it's £26.98 for PC). Free digital downloads of BioShock 1 if you pre-order a PS3 or PC copy. http://www.thehut.com/elysium.search?search=bioshock+infinite That seems to be the cheapest of all the major UK online retailers. Any advances, you let me know! Columbia trailer part 2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V. Amoleo Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 The first, and exclusive, review for this is out now. IGN It's from IGN and they're the only ones allowed to publish a review before release. Take from that what you will. There's still a part of me worried about the quality of the game. Why are they practically giving it away in the pre-order bundles? Why are IGN the only ones allowed to publish a pre-release review? Not that I have much choice about getting it now. As soon as they added X-COM to the GMG bundle I bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 9.5 from IGN for the PC version? Even if it's not as good as they say, surely that'd mean worst-case scenario it's more of an 8.5... but review scores are only a rough guide in any case, ShopTo have taken the money for my 360 version so I can't wait to play it for myself.

V. Amoleo Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I mostly think it will be an excellent game. After all it's back to being developed Irrational Games unlike BioShock 2. I'd have been more worried if the actual review didn't seem to lend itself to such a high rating. Personally I'm hoping GMG will send out the serial keys early so I can pre-load the game through Steam. The minimum specs required for the game mention 20GB of HDD space so it's going to be a hefty download. Edited March 22, 2013 by V. Amoleo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbob Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 From the sneak-peak trailer they show on teh 360 dash (the ones in the little boxes), it does show the lighthouse from the 1st game (if that means anything). I believe their will be some connections to the 1st game, like seeing some characters before they've gone completly crazy or similar. Still, coming on Tuesday so not long to wait and see for ourselves now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I pre-ordered the PS3 version at The Hut with that incredible grey fitness t-shirt for £34.98 Pumped. I didn't even get on with the original BioShock but everything about this looks incredible, the detail and everything about Elizabeth's animations is awesome. GIMME!

dwarf Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Hmmm, I think I can wait because I'll have all that Plus stuff to download, including the latest Motorstorm.

Cube Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 If you get BioShock 2, be sure to get the Minerva's Den. It's better than the game itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindFreak Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 10/10 from Gamereactor.eu It's shaping up to be a great game. I'll get around to playing the first one soon I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
