[PC Game] Bioshock Infinite (beware of spoilers)
- Thread starter Bowielee

I assume you're talking about dynamic shadows and ambient occlusion.
So, initial impressions. This game's intro is just as jaw-droppingly rad as Bioshock's was.[DOUBLEPOST=1364275811][/DOUBLEPOST]
And yes, also the post-processing as well. I wish the V-sync wasn't set to 30 fps though. It's either 30 fps or way over 100 with crazy screen tearing. I guess I could set that stuff in my video card's options.
Me too. Oh damn.
I seem to run it fine @ very high settings, though it every so often slows down for a few seconds and what seems seemly random times, then the FPS goes back up.
Oh god... what time is it? What time did I have to be at work? Maybe I'll call in sick, I mean what are they going to do, fire me?
This game is GOOD. And holy shit is it beautiful. My PC is starting to age a little, but this game runs on max smooth as butter, they've done a fantastic job at optimization.
I have a spinny claw hook that sets people on fire while grinding their faces off!

This. Sigh.

Truth man. After Crysis 3 made my computer it's bitch something fierce (while not looking all that good, seriously, it's got good graphics, but it's optimized for shit) I was worried. This game runs at like 12 trillion fps and is jaw dropping."Casually opens Nvidia control panel"
"Looks at SLI configuration"

Ugh, I normally do a normal and hard mode run for games I like and decided this time "why not start on hard mode?". Now I know why, replaying the same section several times distracts from the experience and just focuses on beating the gameplay challenge. Got a couple of hours in before work, loved what I've seen, but haven't even gotten to Elizabeth yet. Tonight I'll tweak my controls a bit and give my current spot another shot or two, then just revert to medium difficulty if need be, come back to hard later.

I know those feels bro.
Just picked up my pre-order. So hard right now...
...to resist playing.
I also got the Season Pass and I'm hoping I won't regret it considering how crappy and tacked-on the DLC was for the original Bioshock.

Goes to show, I don't even remember the original Bioshock having DLC.
Minerva's Den for Bioshock 2 was better than Bioshock 2.
I don't think it got much attention. I didn't even know about it until I was on the PSN store and saw there were challenge maps.
Needless to say I didn't buy them. I think the only game I'd really want challenge maps for is Dishonored.
If anyone can stop playing long enough to answer this without spoilers, I'd appreciate it:
Is the opening game a "watch, don't play" cutscene or is it hands-on like the original Bioshock? If the latter, is it a lot of running and gunning, or just moving for a little while?
Trying to gauge whether I start this while eating dinner.

Hands on, just moving around for a little while, a little moreso than the original Bioshock.
The opening is hands on, with a lot of exploring and introducing you to the world. The run and gunning doesn't happen until a bit after.
You'll enjoy exploring Columbia, it's an amazing place.
Thanks, guys.
Fair warning to someone thinking about getting this game. Did you like Bioshock? No? Don't touch this game with a ten foot pole. Everyone else, touch this game with a ten foot pole.[DOUBLEPOST=1364346742][/DOUBLEPOST]How many psuedo-modern songs have you guys come across done in the turn of the century style. So fucking weird and really adds to how off this world feels. Hearing Tainted Love in old timey style is something else. Every time I come across one I have to listen to the whole thing.
Had to update my bios to install the video card drivers, and now the game crashes occasionally. Turning the video settings down has decreased the crash frequency, but obviously I have a bit more work to do to make it play smoothly. Probably should updat all my motherboard drivers....
Still, what I've played through so far is a lot of fun!
