Fuck yes

I want to hear some more about it, but so far it seems like the only way to play for me.

Alright then.

Game of the year.

No way, I don't player "shooters" for the challenge, especially because i am so crap at them normal difficulty is challenging enough for me. Should I really, really love this game I might try it on subsequent playthroughs.

No, but I'll definitely go through on my second playthrough on 1999 mode.

Same, I rather be somewhat familiar with the game's weapons and systems before I decide to have my ass handed to me.

Seems like a game I'm suppose to enjoy for the atmosphere and story rather than worrying about making the right decisions and not dying.

I'm game.

I don't really like the idea of being f***ed for my decisions without proper knowledge of what they imply...

Meaning, I will not use it in my first playthrough.

I'm all in on this. I need a challenge. If I'm just burning through dudes with little to no consequence where is the motivation to play better? And if there is no motivation to play better its REALLY easy to get bored of a game.

No, I'm too worried about missing stuff when I'm busy surviving.

Yup, 1999 on 2nd playthrough for me as well.

If it's just that you can't re-roll your perks then I really don't see what all the fuss is about.

Nope. It really just seems like a more creative very hard mode, so I'll build up to that.

I'm not really sure yet. I don't want to play this game for the challenge, but the mode does seem pretty interesting.

Nah, I'll get frustrated enough playing it normally.

Usually you have to beat the game at least once to unlock cool modes like this. Props to Irrational for dropping this in from the get-go.

I'll be diving straight into 1999 Mode.

Hell yeah, I really like the idea of making a game "harder" in other ways than increasing enemy health and damage.

I plan to ... but that might eventually turn out to be determined by my platform decision. I played BioShock 1 and 2 on PS3 but with this, I think a mouse+keyboard setup might be the better choice - especially considering that "every shot counts".

But this mode is really intriguing, no matter what!

No, not unless they can promise me that any build is good enough to beat the game (without too much difficulty).

I loved System Shock 2, but I had a really tough time with my initial build and eventually started over using a couple of tips from a guide. The second time I felt like I had plenty of room to customize as I wanted without gimping myself. However, that was a LOOOOONG time ago, and I absolutely do not have the time to restart a game after several hours because I spec'd wrong.

Yes. Hell yes. Oh my god, yes.

Second Playthrough.

I'm gonna party like its 1999.

Not entirely sure; on the one hand, I do enjoy BioShock at its hardest, but I've never been able to experience System Shock 2 before, so I really don't know how hard it is.

Itll be my second playthrough, that ways things stay even more fresh

Probably not at all. Bioshock was a game I enjoyed for the atmosphere, not the combat. While Bioshock Infinite's combat looks a bit more engaging and fun, I still would much rather focus on the plain experience. If I feel like playing it again, maybe?

Probably, yeah.

Depends*, does this game use hit points or duck and regen? If hit points, I think I'll just play it straight/hard and do 1999 on my second playthru.

*I know nothing of the game, on blackout for two reasons:

1. Bioshock 1&2 didn't click with me.

2. Trailer looked too awesome

I think it'd be fun, but I'd much rather experience the game on normal, or at least the first time. I'll pick it up in my inevitable second playthrough, along with all of the achievements of course.

Not on my first playthrough no. Also I don't think he's recommended it for a first playthrough anyway.

Not the first one, no. Probably not the second, either.

Heard anything about New Game+ for this one?

Games sucked in 1999.

I played the shit out of System Shock 2

And the shit out of Bioshock with vitachambers off on Hard.

I can't wait for 1999 mode Bioshock: Infinite

What a weird ass name...

I almost never play a game more than twice, and 1999 mode sounds like an great experience. I'll be playing 1999 from the beginning. If it gets too tough, then I'll go in normally.

I like it when games are painfully difficult. So yeah, 1999 mode for me!

Absolutely. Seems like it's more or less the real way to play the game.

Will 1999 mode give the pc a decent hud that doesn't have big blocky sesame street letters designed for playing on a couch? Or take away streamlined gameplay? Doubtful.

@whyareyoucrouchingspock: The HUD thing I can get behind, but what exactly do you mean by streamlined gameplay? Surely having some narrative pacing isn't killing games?

I'll give it a shot. It would be nice to have a challenge like the "old" days of gaming. Looking forward to playing this on my new rig.

I like to have fun so no.

Fuck no. Bioshock Infinite isn't System Shock. I understand the appeal of it being a throwback, hence 1999 mode, but it's just not at all the way I want to play the game.

I didn't connect with System Shock 2 the way I did because it was unforgiving and stupid-hard to make choices sometimes, it was because of the story and atmosphere. If I touch 1999 mode at all, it will be on subsequent playthroughs for achievements.

I actually think 1999 mode sounds really interesting, although I never bothered with that kind of thing on Fallout.

I may try it, but I just want to simply enjoy my first playthrough, so I'll probably play it on normal or easy the first time around so I can just get through the game and absorb the story before I start frustrating myself.

Yes I will.

This is what I will probably do too.

Nope

I am pretty sure I will not.
