ok I got the sports boost a little less clunkers

sir ilx-a-lot (cutty), Saturday, 13 February 2010 13:34 (fourteen years ago) link

ok i'm into this now. i think it is pretty important to play the first game or you don't understand the significance of being a big daddy and having a little sister on your shoulder.

sir ilx-a-lot (cutty), Saturday, 13 February 2010 14:14 (fourteen years ago) link

just got it. still has a lot of charm in the setting and story and music. graphics look exactly like original i.e. a step behind the newer big releases. i am going slow as possible and playing on 'hard'.

bnw, Saturday, 13 February 2010 19:07 (fourteen years ago) link

this game is unforgiving with the ammo.

sir ilx-a-lot (cutty), Saturday, 13 February 2010 19:51 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah especially with the respawns. be nice if you regen'd even 10% of your health/eve

antexit, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 23:40 (fourteen years ago) link

this has grown on me. those harvesting sessions really get intense as the game goes on.

jeff, Thursday, 18 February 2010 19:16 (fourteen years ago) link

YES! and the big sisters!?

sir ilx-a-lot (cutty), Thursday, 18 February 2010 19:24 (fourteen years ago) link

i've been rescuing the little ones and I didn't kill that woman. it's worked out pretty well to be a good guy i think?

sir ilx-a-lot (cutty), Thursday, 18 February 2010 19:25 (fourteen years ago) link

i didn't kill her either but I killed stanley later. i totally missed that you could harvest twice with each girl and missed out on lots of adam :(

the multiplayer seems really dumb for all the hype they gave it. at least in cod you have to spot the enemy, here they have HUGE RED NAMES above them.

self-important coozen (bnw), Thursday, 18 February 2010 19:57 (fourteen years ago) link

Do you get a shitload of adam if you use the little sister to grab adam from the corpses then tear her apart rather than saving her?

Big daddy fights got less challenging for me once I learned to put prox mines on a corpse and hurl said corpse at big daddy for a one hit kill.

mayor jingleberries, Thursday, 18 February 2010 20:18 (fourteen years ago) link

prox mines? you mean traps?

sir ilx-a-lot (cutty), Thursday, 18 February 2010 20:41 (fourteen years ago) link

i've found it effective to freeze the big daddies and then drill charge them over and over. if you do it right they don't get any attacks on you at all.

sir ilx-a-lot (cutty), Thursday, 18 February 2010 20:42 (fourteen years ago) link

cutty good news I am def getting a PS3 next wk

hi5

i also had great luck using hypnotize on a big daddy to help kill a big sister

sir ilx-a-lot (cutty), Thursday, 18 February 2010 20:56 (fourteen years ago) link

Proximity mines from the launcher. You can shoot them onto any large object and then hurl it at a big daddy for massive damage. All it takes is 3 mines on medium.

I hypnotized a big daddy who basically killed all my enemies in persephone during the boss fight which took the pressure off considerably.

mayor jingleberries, Thursday, 18 February 2010 21:21 (fourteen years ago) link

rok out coz

forksclovetofu, Thursday, 18 February 2010 22:00 (fourteen years ago) link

one month passes...

oh hey just bought this. btw for DORKS the limited edition version is on some sort of secret clearance at best buy for $10 more than the standard.

(hushed confession - that is why i bought this, and the shit you get is super cool, book is awesome, and uh vinyl bioshock soundtrack OK!. also you get the new game soundtrack on cd and some rolled up posters that i even i am too full of self-respect to display in my house.)

game so far seems pretty sweet, much to my surprise. still sweating the multiplayer letdown tho

First and Last and Safeways ™ (jjjusten), Thursday, 18 March 2010 07:09 (fourteen years ago) link

on the downside/upside multiplayer is much better than expected until it CRASHES when i am in first place. bahhh

First and Last and Safeways ™ (jjjusten), Thursday, 18 March 2010 08:14 (fourteen years ago) link

my blu ray disc of bioshock 3 cracked before i finish it. does gamestop have any warranty for broken discs?

shite new answers (cutty), Thursday, 18 March 2010 11:23 (fourteen years ago) link

i am totally baffled as to how they got the multiplayer to look so shitty in that gamestop commercial

First and Last and Safeways ™ (jjjusten), Thursday, 18 March 2010 16:54 (fourteen years ago) link

probably didn't have access to the game and built the animation from scratch.

forksclovetofu, Thursday, 18 March 2010 18:46 (fourteen years ago) link

2k games is replacing my disc! yay

shite new answers (cutty), Thursday, 18 March 2010 18:51 (fourteen years ago) link

ok so 2 multiplayer crashes in 2 days is starting to make me really fucking angry at this game.

First and Last and Safeways ™ (jjjusten), Friday, 19 March 2010 07:00 (fourteen years ago) link

3 now. wtf? anyone else having this problem?

First and Last and Safeways ™ (jjjusten), Friday, 19 March 2010 07:15 (fourteen years ago) link

Absolutely loving the single player on this btw, still early on, but lots of really nice touches (the amusement park level is incredibly well done, nice clever touches going on throughout). its harder than the first one, and big sister fights are INTENSE and thx to the excellent sound design actually pretty frightening in surround sound.

multiplayer is just...weird. very very few people playing it, and yes, like all online multiplayer experiences, you will end up running into the roving gangs of assholes that are into statbuilding each other and get mad when you interrupt their attempts by like i dont know showing up to play an actual game.

First and Last and Safeways ™ (jjjusten), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 19:46 (fourteen years ago) link

cool to hear more good things about the single player. i was unsure about this for a while but i have decided to pick it up soon.

aarrissi-a-roni, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 20:15 (fourteen years ago) link

i should clarify that there is nothing game-changing re:gameplay or environments vs the first one. whats nice is that the new development team seems to have really gotten the feel of the first game and expanded on it.

also looking out the windows at the sea is pretty awesome.

First and Last and Safeways ™ (jjjusten), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 20:18 (fourteen years ago) link

game is awesome

shite new answers (cutty), Thursday, 25 March 2010 02:27 (fourteen years ago) link

Crashes like a motherfucker on 360 tho ;_; I am on my third single player crash at this point

First and Last and Safeways ™ (jjjusten), Thursday, 25 March 2010 06:05 (fourteen years ago) link

And they're full on system crashes too, which is annoying. Save often.
