    Some of those splicers are pretty damn creepy. I got pretty freaked out when I first came across a splicer repeating that little bible rhyme. Also, Sander Cohen was pretty creepy too.

    ^ I hate that. Spent about an hour just watching a big daddy walk back and forth, knocking on walls. I finally killed him and another respawned and got her out.

    I love how this game controls. Need to replay the game, play some 'Harvester of Sorrow ' through the hard drive, and go to work.

    Completed it last night, but check out my new user title.

    The revelation of "that" (not spoiling it) is much more creepier than any other part of the game I think.

    Wasn't that awesome? I never realized how often Atlas said that until that little epiphany...

    I think you guys are starting to give away a bit much for the 3 people who haven't played it yet.

    in the plane at the beginning it says "would you kindly not open until..." on the box your character is holding.

    that revelation was quality. i still need to finish the game man.

    There's only one mission left after that. It shouldn't take too long to finish up.

    Wow and also wow.

    I had avoided this thread since the game went retail because I wanted to avoid spoilers. Surprisingly, the thread is mostly spoiler free.

    I know I talked about some of the problems I had with the FPS perspective, but I did like that the game was unapolegitically in the first person. There was not a single cinema that pulled you out of your character.

    This game is art. No area seemed like a collection of tiles that was just there for me to wander in and extend my game. Everything seemed like a place where people used to live and be happy.
    Even hours into it, I would still jump at times -especially when I could play it with Surround on and hear the Slicers walk up behind me but I couldn't see them.
    It has been a long time since a game has made me think. I ponder Andrew Ryan's philosophy, I have looked up the lady whose philosophies he and Fontaine and Atlas are based on.

    I beat the game and got the good ending. Some have said it is short and lame, but I found it fitting and satisfying.

    Damnit, I really want to get this game on PC (I neither have nor can afford an Xbox360), I had a look at the case today, and my computer is nowhere near as good as it needs to be to play it.

    When I got Transformers for PC (£7.50 pre-owned), that was slow and laggy as hell. Why must my PC be so shit.

    Yes, it was. I'd love to get a high quality picture of that wall scene for my background. I guess I'll have to go back to my latest save there.

    And, you just made it even more awesome. I completely forgot about that part.
