There's also a "remake" planned of Ultima Online, apparantly - creator of it already raised over 1mil in the kickstarter.

Yeah, Shadow of the Avatar. I was never really that into the Ultima series, so I passed.

Re: So anyone interested in Bioshock Infinite?
Friend of mine bought it on release day and I watched him play for about two hours. Most of that time he spent exploring the fairgrounds so I didn't get spoiled on anything. Picked it up last Friday and beat it on Hard last night/this morning. Holy shit was this a fantastic game. It grades out at a 10/10 before you're even halfway done playing it.
Started 1999 Mode tonight and it's gonna be tough until I get the Hand Cannon back. Also there is a trophy for never using the Dollar Bill machine which makes the masochist in me smile but the trophy hunter in me frown. Can't be any harder than COD: World at War was on Veteran... and if I had to give that game a slogan it would be "Wanna hide? Here's 5 grenades. Wherever you move, we will throw 5 more. Choose wisely."

This time I'm applying all Infusions to Health first, then Salts. On my initial playthrough (Hard mode) I spread them around pretty evenly but can already tell I'm gonna fuckin' need max Health and Salts for 1999 Mode. Been whoring out Possession real hard so far.
Also the Winter Shield gear is straight hax and I look forward to getting that back.

Re: So anyone interested in Bioshock Infinite?
Trainwreck2100 Yeah, Siren is pretty fucking difficult to take down. Found a nice little barrier glitch for the graveyard fight where her zombie minion dudes won't come near you but she will. But I found that after like two hours of raging out over that fight. Other two fights weren't that hard, gotta upgrade the Charge vigor and spam that at her (grants brief invincibility) then when you're up close use anything super powerful. I was running Shotgun and Hail Fire for the latter two fights.

didn't do that, charge plus brittle bones gear, plus that gear that sets your melee targets on fire, plus the shirt tht shocks you opponent if you get melleed. Fight over in less than two minutes

Yeah, spamming Charge at her was a game changer. I just beat 1999 Mode... all trophies unlocked... boss status. This game is easily Top 5 all time in my book. Final fight on the airship, the first set of Patriots that launched in glitched out at the back of the ship and didn't even move. Probably would still be playing if that didn't happen.

beat that final fight on the second try, lost the first time only because I had no idea they actually went after the core. Posession + full salt + possesion for less= game over. Bought possession for less when you get shock jockey and that's the only time you can get it that early in the game. The only hard part for me was the 2 handyman fights you have to do, and once i figured out you only had to run around shooting them it was fairly simple

Re: So anyone interested in Bioshock Infinite?
I didn't have max salt, but had like 8/10. On my 1999 playthough I went for full health first and then alternated between shield and salt for the rest of the infusions. Maybe that's where I fucked up. I found 1999 Mode more challenging than I anticipated, usually when I see people on game forums complaining about shit being hard I just think that's an impatient person who's trying to run and gun too much but it was a tad tougher than I thought it would be.
Dunno how you did that last part in two attempts though. Ridiculous. You got my respect for sure.

Re: So anyone interested in Bioshock Infinite?
I bought the Ultimate Rapture Collection after playing this and just 100%'d the first two games. BioShock was good. The 2nd one wasn't bad, but the analogy I used was it's like going to a new restaurant and ordering your favorite dish. The cook does a bad ass job and you really enjoy it, so you decide to go back the next day... only the cook working that day didn't go to culinary school so it wasn't as good. You still got a plate of some of your favorite food but it sure was better yesterday.
imo fwiw tbh Infinite was like over nine thousand times better

Re: So anyone interested in Bioshock Infinite?
Playing it again on Medium because I bought the season pass the other day just to save some dough on the DLC. Pretty dope getting 5 infusions at the beginning of the game, and the gold skins on the pistol & machine gun.

Re: So anyone interested in Bioshock Infinite?
I liked it more than the first Bioshock. It's a damn shame I didn't start using the shotgun until late in the game, because shotgun + Return to Sender + Rising Bloodlust + Overkill + Bullet Boon = Super Happy Fun Time.

Upcoming story DLC trailer. Horde mode add-on DLC is already out but it's not anything too amazing. This on the other hand...fuck yes.
