Bioshock: Infinite

[bori]

I didn't realize that this strat might be a possiblity, but has anyone tried multi-grabbing enemies with the Water move, and then pushing them off the ship on the final boss? I was pulling multiple enemies at once with that Pull move (even Patriots), so I could beat them down with rockets. After the fight was over, I was thinking..."I wonder if I could have pulled near the edge...and pushed them off?" (Cheap tactic if it works, I know). Anyone care to give it a shot?

I dont know about pulling the patriots and pushing them off. But the strat i used basically had me rocketing pats while shoving anything off the upper ledges I could. Never thought of pulling the pats up and then shoving them off. It would have to be a well positioned pull though cause it can be tricky at best shoving the normal mobs off the side.

I basically shoved everything I could off from down below and then used the song bird on the ground between zeppellins and only killing the barge that had a rocketlauncher, the rest just drop off mobs and its worthless to songbird them.

woo got my Platinum trophy just before Game of Thrones came on.
Yay Platinum #30. Been a few months since I got any new ones. Games kept coming out. Persona 4> Dead Space> Revengeance> Tomb Raider> Bioshock> Dragon's Dogma.
After beating Dragon's Dogma I'll probably try the Platinum for it again then try for Revengeance then Dead Space then Persona. Fuck Tomb Raider Platinum and their retarded annoying multiplayer trophies.

been thinking about grabbing infinite, but i've been told by a few people that i should play through the first game before tackling it. any opinions? as implied, i haven't really touched the series at all, the whole ayn rand angle kind turned me off from it initially. am i gonna be missing anything substantive by playing this first?

there's a few nods and winks but nothing of terrible significance, Infinite stands on its own perfectly well.

that said the original Bioshock is one of the greatest games ever made and while its gameplay is undoubtedly weaker its narrative + atmosphere + storytelling remain Infinite's equals.

as to Rand, thematically Bioshock is a sustained critique of the self-righteousness of philosophical certainty and the ethical principles of objectivism. the fundamental tragedy of Rapture is that it is a dying city torn apart by the intractable fanaticism of its founder, namely the egoist imperative of living life entirely for one's own self-interest and under no circumstances compromising that self-interest on behalf of others.

Bioshock is not some kind of libertarian wet dream, the game's most prominent dialectic argues forcefully and repeatedly that Rand is a jerkface and depicts her utopia as a nightmare

I disagree about not having to play bioshock 1, but I can't say any more then that. By the end of infinite you'll have many questions though, and playing (don't even have to finish) Bioshock helps to answer some.

Just finished getting the Platinum. Used the strategy from the vid I posted and finished the final fight on my first try with 0 deaths Honestly.... this is probably my favorite game of this generation.

Just started the game the other day. Doing first playthrough on hard, what vigor and stat upgraded should I be focusing one? I've been putting the few I've gotten so far into shield, but dunno what I should be focusing on

[Cichy]

vigors is w/e you feel comfortable with, lots of ppl say their favorite was murder of crows + devils kiss combo, I used the shield and ram charge for most part. Stats I found shield was the most beneficial one since it auto recharges unlike hp.

[Dominico]

First playthrough I used Shock Jockey + Devils Kiss. 1999 mode I used Possession + Charge. For infusions I capped shield then alternated between health + salts.

[Xerlic]

Upgrade shield and salts first evenly and then health last like said above. For upgrades I'd do Possession, Devil's Kiss, Murder of Crows and Charge for Vigors and Carbine, Sniper Rifle, RPG and Shotgun for weapons. Hard isn't really that hard though, so just upgrade what you find enjoyable imo.

Would I be able to play/understand this without having played the other 2? I have a big gaming backlog and it's a much easier sell for me to fit in one awesome game than it is to sit through 2 games so i can play a 3rd.

[Katlan]

I never played the other games and completely understood Infinite. There are easter eggs that you will only get if you played the other two games, but thats about it. Like each game started at a lighthouse, always a red chair. Small things like that

Theres one moment where you feel WOAHSHIT if you've played the past games, but thats about it.

This. But I want to stress that if you play Bioshock, you won't feel like you're being forced to sit through it. It is an amazing game in its right, even though its five years old. I certainly thought of it as the best of the trilogy.

There's another cool little callback if you listen to the voxaphones.
