Bioshock Infinite (1999 Mode) - Part 1

Bring Us The Girl, And Wipe Away The Debt

I fixed it! Ah, the age old method of uninstalling it and reinstalling it, gotta love it.

There's always a lighthouse

1999 Mode is no joke. The game becomes seriously difficult when you have to balance managing your money (which you lose $100 of if you die) and making every last bullet count in a gunfight. Granted, I haven't seen any of the "this or that, not both" choices that were promised, but I'm still early in the game. I haven't even met Elizabeth yet, which is where the game starts to pick up.

There's always a man

Playing Infinite again has made all the feelings rush back, and it's pretty incredible. I could play through that opening multiple times in succession and be blown away every time  It sets the scene so perfectly for Booker's time in Columbia, from the casual elitist remarks you hear walking down the street, to being egged on to pelt an interracial couple with a baseball for winning a raffle. It brings the idea that you are in 1912 to the forefront and makes it so much more believable.

There's always a city

Despite the frustrations of 1999 Mode, I can see my third trip through the floating city being my favourite.
