Bioshock: Burial at Sea - Infinite spoilers?

Omaeka · 19 Dec 2013 at 23:02

One of the lucky few to grab the season pass for the price of a kebab n' chips, I'm not far into Infinite (at the place where you are looking for the shock plasmid thing, armory or something) and was wondering if Burial at Sea had any spoilers for the main storyline? As I'd like to go back to Rapture but will have to wait until Infinite is beat if there are spoilers.

Cheers.

I haven't played Burial yet, but I can't see how there couldn't be spoilers tbh. Definitely finish Infinite first anyway, BAS is only about 2 hours long from what I have heard.

How much did you get it for? I need dem DLCs!

Was hoping it would be an alternate storyline just using Booker and Liza, 'cause I'm getting seriously bored of Colombia and Infinites general PG13 vibe now. Prefer Rapture by a long stretch but oh well, good job it's a sexy and fun game eh, so I'll push on. Cheers.

£3.99.

Yup.

Lucky you

Yeah, I still need to get the season pass as well. I am looking forward to playing it again when the second part is released. I will play through the main game again first of course!

I played Bioshock a few weeks back for about the 8th time, and got fairly far in to 2, though found it a struggle. Need to get back to that.

They're pretty awesome games tbh, it's a shame they don't trade the linear, shallow gameplay for fully sandbox, open world RPG experiences. Not Borderlands kind of pseudo RPG, but like TES or something.

Infinite spoilers aplenty come the end...and it won't make as much sense as you play through at times.

Definitely finish Infinite first before you go for Burial at Sea.

I concur, definitely finish Infinite before you play Burial at Sea. You won't understand Burial at Sea at all if you don't finish Infinite.

There will almost certainly be some spoilers but, infinite? I doubt it.

Makes delivering a finely-crafted story virtually impossible though, so it could never really happen. There's a reason why the best storylines tend to be in linear games.

They could still endeavour to make it more like System Shock 2 in presentation, gameplay and not ridiculously dumb story though. I am happy to suspend disbelief if required but I can't suspend incredulity.

I really wish I could wipe my memories and play Infinite again for the first time.

Same here - though without the playing Infinite again part.

Never played SS2 so I don't know, but I enjoyed the story in Infinite. The best storylines in games (e.g. this, The Last Of Us etc) have all been linear, it's just the way it tends to have to be.

Generally speaking, I agree with you (regarding linear storylines at least).
