I'm very sorry to hear all of this. We've went through similar stuff as well. It sucks.

Hell, I eat corn out of her ass... Too far?

Pretty slick so far about an hr in.

Just to comment on a few things here. I have 5 games on cart, 10 dl games, and 3 psp games on this 32gb stick. I still have 16 gb free! I don't like the pricing on the memory sticks at all, but this 32gb really has lasted.
So off to try gaulamelee!!!

Hacked!!!

I don’t think the gore has to do with trying to be mature so much as giving the player a clear cut representation of combat.  Gore as used in Infinite makes the combat feel more responsive.  If a person’s head explodes you know instantly that they are dead and you can switch targets.  It may only be a couple seconds different but it’s enough to change the flow and feel of combat.  This is actually something that bothers me in FPS that don’t use some form of damage modeling.

I agree with that 100%.

Ni no kuni.
Tomb raider.
Bioshock infinite.
Those are my picks. To close to call...

Also...as I'm on the throne reading through this thread again...SARCASMISM or not?!? Or am I just feeding banana feces to... Nm.

Even though I'm exhausted I'm going to sit down and play this again for a few hrs tonight. So, ive read numerous accounts of this being shorter than I'm seeing. What's the average completion time? Still really digging it!

and done.  pretty fun game.  at some point, maybe next year, I'll replay the game to pick the choices I didn't take.


I wonder what direction the DLC will take.

I have said this in the past, like Witcher 2, and the ME games, and Fallout 3 NV and yet, I have never gone back. There is always something new and shiny waiting.

Same here. Gaming ADD...

No, everyone, pay more attention to me!  What a bold, discerning maverick I am, forging against the tide of popular opinion to denigrate my betters!  Anyone can score a game against contemporary standards, but only the most cunning of auteurs can transform a game review into a sweeping commentary on industry marketing by holding the finished product up against the fantastical expectations dreamed up while gorging on pre-release spoilers for the last three years.  OVERHYPED ARGLE BARGLE!

Now get out of my way!  I'm off to participate in a panel discussion about the philosophical themes in Bioshock Infinite!  Obviously, every miserable failure of effective world-building and competent storytelling deserves a forty minute deconstruction of the inspirations drawn from Koyaanisqatsi.  I just hope there'll be a good opportunity to connect phrases like "reductive verisimilitude" and "vomit waffles" in conversation so I can underscore the intelligence of my critique without losing any street cred.  Someone stencil "Senior" onto the start of all my business cards!

Weapon upgrades?  Come again?  Durr, I though all the vending machines sold exactly the same thing so I just ignored them!  Even the ones with totally different color schemes and sounds.  Thank god my inability to comprehend basic gameplay elements has zero effect on my opinion or, apparently, my credibility!

Oh, what's this?  "Extremely High Voltage!"  Well, I don't need safety gloves, because I'm Homer Sim-

-Bzzzzzt

I'm confused. Sarcasm?

That or drunk.

Hey, I drink alot! Don't blame it on that!;)

Lol this really isn't helping anyone. It's all over the web! Ill still wait until the details are released about the system to make my mind up. That being said, I've already thought I'd probably lean towards getting the next Sony machine. Needless to say, that feature would turn me off but this asshat makes me,no matter what, not want to support people / companies like this....

I'd say you can consider always on a pretty much guaranteed feature:

No matter the details, this guy is a jackass...

Well. Fuck. 

Easily my game of the year! It's not April 1st Anymore! Crap!

I've been there before with them. I was calm, patient, nice and the bitch hung up on me. I wanted to shit on her car. So, I have no GOOD advice!

I agree since I support the death penalty when folks do something heinous enough to warrant it.

You trust the cops, prosecutors, and people not smart enough to get out of jury duty to convict the right people 100% of the time?

Nope.  But then again, I don't expect infallibility from humans in anything. 

Just because I believe that a guy who raped and murdered a child and has irrefutable evidence supporting that accusation should be put to death, that doesn't mean I automatically believe everyone who commits a crime should be. 

In other words, it's not a black and white issue...no matter how much folks would love to think it is.

I don't see how you can pick and choose who gets the death penalty. Irrefutable evidence gets thrown out 20 years later as technology improves or witnesses recant their testimony. To make exceptions in certain cases (e.g., Jeffrey Dahmer) is to open the door for innocent people being put to death.

So no crimes should be prosecuted?

Cheers to that last post!

I'm certainly interested.

Maybe you should try these guys.

That made my day. Especially when he says... Well, you'll all see. Nearly pissed myself.

Just when I thought I'd play some tomb raider tonight I read this thread... More bioshock infinite I guess tonight! Hard to put down...

Not horrible…but not Thief. 

I thought it looked pretty "thief" to me.   

This thread is dead but the game is FAR from it for me. Anyone else still grinding away to this jrpg gem?

Elizabeth is freakin awesome. Reminds me of Alex from hl2 as far as how well the character is created.

Now that I'm done shooting children in COD, rapture, I mean infinite here I come!!! It's amazing how different and similar this is compared to bioshock. It's the best example of a sequel being great and not being a true sequel. Also a great example of a reboot, when its really not a reboot... Good times!

[Spoiler]

So after another two hours or so... Holy shit! Awesome story, awesome overall presentation, great audio and dialog. Phenomenal gameplay as well, suprisingly so. Also this came with the first bioshock, which I've played and sold and kinda wanted to play again anyway . So back to infinite...

Spoiler for Hiden:

Its impossible for me to tell how far I'm in a game. I haven't even found Elizabeth yet, so how far along could I be on the high end? I just got the crows.

A simple thing this game has done is been really fun so far. This is what gaming is about to me.

damn! just watched Adam Sessler's review and my graphical is nothing like what I just saw. the gameplay he used was from 360. maybe somehow my son chnaged my settings to 480i

I'll have to check tmrw.

I'm playing on ps3 which seems to look/perform similar. It's not the best looking game ever, but the lighting, animation, art design and some other cool shit more than make up for it. It doesn't look bad.

well i heard Human Flesh......nah,i wont go there    

Might as well say chicken. That's how most people describe not so common meats alot. Poor chickengetswrapped up with all kinds of meats!

I watched this tonight. First time ever, had no clue what was going on, but didn't really want to... AWEFUL acting is what I saw. Just was too over the top cheesy. Maybe it's better than what I saw, and probably better if I knew why was going on... Still, seemed pretty crappy.

We had a pet pig in Georgia. They are definitely as smart as a dog. Knew his name, always wanted to come inside the house, would fall over when you scratched his belly.

Didn't stop me from eating bacon. Even he ate a piece by mistake that was dropped on the floor.. pigs really will eat anything!

See, even his pig didn't care this much!

RC rock racer or trail/crawler?

Axial Wraith
Axial Honcho scx10

fun hobby and relaxing.

ooooo.... I could so use those to chase the cat and dogs so they get more exercise 

Great idea!

The difference is, well different to others. Obviously being desplayed right here. I recently had to put one of my cats down and ill tell you, again, very difficult. So for me there is that difference. I respect other people opinions alot. Another random thought, if I had pet pig Im sure I wouldn't eat pork. Sometimes things are just "how they are". I think one party here is asking questions that I believe the other party or anyone else can't really answer. Pretty simple actually. The sun through the fog so to speak.

Okay enough talk more sleep;).

Wow. Gamespot seems to be the only low review so far, and low it is. Other than one persons opinion, this looks awesome!

Anticipating some interesting responses to this post.  

Anal beads?

You just had to pull that out, didn`t you?

Poor choice of words.

Or A phenomenal choice.

Interesting to say the least.

I've never played Uncharted since I don't own a PS3 and I'm playing Tomb Raider on a PC so I can't compare the two. I will say TR is absolutely a AAA title. I love all the little details in character animation that they put into Lara. When she crouch walks and passes by an object (like say a stack of tires) she'll cautiously put her hand out and touch them - like a real person sneaking would do in order to know where the object is - so she won't bump into it.

When walking in a cave she'll reach out and touch the wall if she's close enough, and when she first gets into water she'll sometimes flick the water off her hands.  I've also noticed that she turns her head when there's something of interest close by. Its clued me into several hidden items during some points in the game. But that head turn is not glaringly obvious, like in some games where the character's head just keeps turning around to face the object of interest.

I especially love the scene

Spoiler for Hiden:

after she's wounded and has to get to the helicopter for medical supplies. Her jumps end up with her hitting the ground hard and her long jump especially feels painful on landing.

And there's definitely a subtle change in the way she does certain things as she progresses in the game. 

Spoiler for Hiden:

The way she walks across balance beams for one - she definitely gets more confident and less "wobbly".

Well 90 percent of that stuff was in the uncharted games, especially number 3. Not a bad thing at all. Just saying you would also enjoy the uncharted series.

Great game.

Thanks guys. Sorry for the slow response time on my part. I've worked every day since. Probably a good idea to keep my mind moving. It just never gets any easier, and as I knew before, but had been proven again. This is a great community and it helps to know you aren't alone. Thankyou.

What's there to say. It sucks. She only had one kidney since birth and it was failing. I've done it before and it never gets any more easy, that's for sure. Lily will be missed a ton. Just a six year old tabby, and a sweet one. Loved to cuddle, slept in our bed every night. She loves to "spoon" with me. My wife always joked that lily got more time with me than she did;). Our other cat, lucky, now isn't sure what to do. Our two dogs are weirded out by her being gone as well.

I just needed to vent and share my frustrations with someone. Six years is nowhere near long enough. We've gotten screwed out of time with other animals as well. One of our dogs also was only six when he passed. Oh boy. Work is gonna suck today. Can't take off. At least my wife could. I can't imagine her doing real well out and about this soon. Feels like my heart has been ripped right out.

I was going to quote something someone said that was funny and comment... Couldn't make a decision. Too many good options. As many around here know, I appreciate anything number 2, and this was a funny read...on the toilet! No shit, I mean no joke...

Poot sounds like one crapped themselves.
The you gotta be shitting me comment was gold.
Just passing it along. Gold as well!!!
The Hawaiian word "hooiaioia" has more consecutive vowels than any other word in any human language.
Nice!!!!

See, this was a chore to pick em!
