I'm not sure I follow, I played it 2 weeks ago at 1080p and everything worked including KB/M without issues.
The port is really bare bones, sure, but the jump in resolution and a solid 60fps makes it much better than the console version and you can add extra AA and AF through the NvidaCP/Inspector that's just gravy (had 8xMSAA + 16xAF)

Aw Yiss! Muthafuckin' Murder of Ravens!
Premium edition preordered for PC, and Season Pass purchased. They are milking us with Season Passes, but I will make a rare exception for this game in order to show my support. Not buying the strategy guide however - gotta draw the line somewhere (strategy guide for FPS = lol).
That one still stings, but I think Levine is good peoples, all things considered. He's been upfront about things like Bioshock 2 having much better combat than 1, and hopefully the inclusion of stuff like 1999 mode is demonstrative of a general philosophy that'll be evident throughout the game. The fewer shackles, the better.
Shit like that makes me sad.

BioShock: Infinite
I already know Infinite is a gazzillion times better than TR. Watch 2K closing Irrational Games if this game bombsWe can't let that happen, we just can't! Irrational doesn't make 0815 shooters, they always make something special and i have no doubt Infinite will be any different. I seriously think this could be the best FPS game this decade.
You realize Tomb Raider pre orders opened up well before Bioshock's?
Its looking like Bioshock's tiers will be complete sometime next week, so you don't have long to wait.
Weird, if I read this right we have the same birthday lol.
I'll wait and see.
Damn you Muffdraul for reminding me lol
Shit like that makes me sad.

BioShock: Infinite
What part makes you sad? The concept of pre-order "rewards" or the 60.00 price tag for a PC game?
I think you'll find several people here saying "both" to that question. Personally, I think Steam asking you to pay $60 up front for a pre-order while incentivizing you to con your friends into doing the same is disingenuous. Gamifying pre-orders to this extent is going too far.
Both. I also got a laugh out of this game giving you the first Bioshock as a preorder reward, a game with a bad PC version.
At least they make up for it with Xcom though. Makes me wish I didn't buy it when it came out.
Aye. As much as I am looking forward to this game I do not want to participate in the pre-order, nor pay full price. I will just add it to the steam wishlist and wait for a sale.
I think that was the good choice. Infinite looks really promising and you got some free games!

No really, did Sn4ke already get to play Bioshock Infinite? How does he already know the game is better than TR? I'm VERY curious.
I mean, it isn't like he's just a blind fanboy right?

Yeah, as well as unused gifts that you've purchased: simply send a ticket to support (you'll need to create an account specifically for this purpose). After you've signed in, select Steam as the product, while for the category you want Purchases and Payments, followed by Pre-ordered Game. As long as your request is actioned before the release date (which will be of no concern as the game is still a month away; even Valve isn't that slow
Edit: As for who can help you get the game for $45, just ask in the Steam thread once you're ready.
Sounds good, I'll try doing that tomorrow.

I won't trust the console version to run well. Will be buying PC version.
Probably right up there with GTA V as my most anticipated in such a long time!
I hope the Tier 3 unlocks do occur, so everyone can play X-Com too.
I have faith in Levine- everything he's done I've loved. The press for the game has been all over the place, but my undying faith in this man will never subside. The ability for the Irrational team to create new worlds that promote such intense exploration... I really can not wait.

Nothing approaches my hype for this game. I am entirely too keen, but trying hard to keep my expectations grounded.
You and me both my man.
I got the special edition guide coming in on the 27th but I only really want it for the little Columbia artifact that comes with it. I'm gonna have to try my damnedest not to open that sucker up until completion.

Nice I preordered it on Amazon for PS3 too should add me on psn - ArisenDragon
It's hard to say as Irrational has been cagey as to whether or not the canon of Bio and Bio2 apply to the world of Infinite. I'd imagine that any references to the previous games will favour Irrational's original -- rather than 2K Marin's narratively misguided sequel -- greatly if not entirely.

The PS3 copy comes with Bioshock 1, yeah?

I just bought one of the AMD cards that'll come with Crysis 3 and this. When I redeem this code via steam, would my copy be considered a preorder or no?
In the US, yes. Elsewhere it depends on the retailer (e.g. EB Games AU offers a download code for the original on PS3/PC, but only for EB World members).

Yeah it does which is cool, I hope it runs good I played BioShock one but for now taking a chance with the PS3 version.

I'm really hoping Levine hasn't presented a false equivalency between left wing anarchist 'extremes' and far right fascism. I have a vague feeling he's sympathetic to libertarian pro-capitalist paul ryan ideas on economic issues even though he's to the left on social issues, basically a Penn Jillette type. Even though Bioshock 1 in many ways was a criticism of objectivism, it felt like there was some underlying sympathy towards the idea of it which is unsettling.
I've been waiting for so long, and Bioshock 1/2 are my favorite games this gen for exploring political/social ideas, but if the left in this game are demonized as Stalinists (like most people in general end up suggesting) it'll ruin the game for me so I'm apprehensive. The story/political side of these games is the most important aspect for me, gameplay is secondary.

The e3 demo impressed me big time (it still does), but everything i saw from the final game so far doesn`t look nearly as good or impessive as the great e3 demo.
I think the game will disappoint me.

I'm not sure if they're part of the same universe. They could easily be. The interesting thing is that Infinite takes place in 1912, where the original BioShock is in 1960. I could see a wink or reference.

Is there a deal for consoles that bundles Bioshock + Bioshock Infinite?
Me want to buy that.
Me want to buy that.
If you're in the US, the PS3 version of Infinite comes with the original on-disc.

Also if you guys want to get BioShock Infinite on PSN you can preorder it and get a free theme and BioShock 1 now it says and you would also get 10 bucks back with every 50 you spend in March. Not sure if this was posted here yet.
