Just being slightly picky - but at the very start "from the makers of the highest rated first-person shooter of all time" ?

I'm near positive Half Life 2 has that honor.

They're level on Metacritic for PC (96 out of 100) but the 360 Bioshock is ahead so I guess they're entitled to the claim.

Achievements (minus story-based ones) are out.

150 gamerscore on the 1999 mode, so at least two full play-throughs if you want the 1k/platinum.

Hopefully difficulty ones stack, I'm sure they will but played a few games recently were it wasn't the case so I get suspicious when I see those :pac:

Quick question...I have the songbird edition pre-ordered from amazon.fr. My concern is will the game be in French?

Dunno how I missed this but the PC specs were released last month. Also as it is shipping as 3 DVDs I am guessing it will be a huge RAGE/Max Payne 3 sized download in the order of 20-25GB. :eek:

Super excited about this.

I pre-ordered Ni No Kuni, was shipped the Friday on release and had it the following Tuesday on the free super saver delivery. So could be middle of the next week.

Gamestop are pretty good for getting you games on time. Or Gamesnash.

Don't go near the likes of Zavvi if you want it on time.

Gamesnash don't seem to have it listed on their site. Where is everybody gettin their copy?

kilfeather94 · 05-03-2013 9:12pm

actually, xtra-vision seem to be selling the Songbird Edition. Not sure if it's still available though. http://www.xtra-vision.ie/bioshock-infinite-song-bird-ps3.html

LiamKK1982 · 05-03-2013 11:14pm

Well this is the first game I have pre ordered from the PS Store. Payment won't be taken from my funds until a few days before release and I can pre download it on the 22nd. Also got Bioshock 1 as a pre order bonus, downloading it now (all 12gb of it).

Pushtrak · 06-03-2013 10:50pm

I'm thinking of ordering it off amazon.co.uk, the premium version, for £55. The Songbird version is fairly expensive, isn't it? I need to get a new phone soon, so not going to spend the kind of money the Songbird one was asking for.

Gamesnash have it here for 49.99 http://gamesnash.ie/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&zenid=ibbl73h5fc9f4idt5o3a2vc9v2&keyword=bioshock+infinite&x=0&y=0

I got a few games off them a day early, the rest on release day.

I'm a bit skeptical of this. Will be waiting for some reviews. Bioshock 1 was class. Never played the 2nd one but have it in my download list from PSN so should give it a lash at some point.

Red Crow · 07-03-2013 3:09pm

Bioshock 2 was class as well.

Ah it was a bit disappointing. Nowhere near the first game. But, then, it wasn't Irrational at the helm.

Anyway, this one is good having played it for 4 hours, but I'm not 100% sure it's going to be the game some are expecting

Did you get a review copy or something? it's not out til the end of March.

So it doesn't really play like Bioshock 1 or 2?

It's a sequel though. The first game is always going to be the best. I thought it was a very good game. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Played a slightly less than finished version at an event last month (the stuff that was missing I wouldn't have had a chance to see in the time i was playing anyway apparently)

It's hard to explain really. It's a good game, the level design is solid, the visuals are lovely (except i'm unconvinced by the frame rate) and the setup and story i played is decent... there were just too many enemies to shoot in the face at any given time really - and some of them are REALLY bullet spongey

cloud493 · 07-03-2013 4:00pm

I've been playing bioshock 1 and 2 on the PS3, and there are some serious frame rate issues./ More so in 1 than 2, hope thats not the case in infinite.

COYVB · 07-03-2013 6:10pm

I wouldn't say there were any issues with slowdown or anything like that, as such, really. It's more that the whole thing didn't feel like it was running as smoothly as I would have liked. Technically, I remember reading that it DOES actually run around 60FPS, it just doesn't feel anything like it. Perhaps it's just down to slightly jerky animations or something

The PS3 version is apparently worse than the 360 version.

And for BioShock 2, things had improved over the first, but here's more specifics on that: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-bioshock2-face-off-article?page=3

BioShock 2 is a great game. It isn't as good as the first, the story was a lot better there, in my opinion. They did add some nice gameplay elements to it, though. They really didn't need to add multiplayer to it.

Doesn't look system demanding at all! pretty game but no where near Crysis 3 level of detail and scope, i'm sure the finished product will run very well on a average pc with medium settings.
Can't speak for xbox360 and ps3 as far as i'm concerned those systems are relics!
