I did actually start to wonder if Suchong was a little more insane than Cohen, but I think it was more a case that Suchong cared nothing for anything other than success. Cohen really was just as mad as a bag full of frogs...
I would dearly love a Bioshock game set in pre-disaster Rapture, one where all the fruitcakes are still free and active, where you could see the gradual degeneration of splicers, the fall of Fontaine, etc. That really would be fun...
Suchong is a mad scientist type where as Cohen is just simply bonkers. Hard not to admire the style in which he goes about his madness though.
I always wanted to see pre-disaster Rapture and having caught a glimpse from BaS, I want that even more now.

Talking about it clearly affected my ability to spell. Absolutely loved walking through Rapture in all its glory and the whale swimming by the large window was great.
I could never call an artist like Mr Cohen by his first name. That was a great scene though. I was more taken by his make up, almost to the point of influence!
I liked the nice audio log by Suchong where he mentions the difference in how to apply vigors compared to plasmids. A minor point and not even something that had crossed my mind but I do like attention to detail like that. Still, not as good as his last ever audio log in Bioshock where he learned the link between the Big Daddy and the Little Sisters was working.

I knew you'd love it! Isn't Sander (yes, I'm on first name terms with the great artist) completely mental? I do like his taste in facial hair though...

Infitine finished and Burial at Sea started. What can I say, Rapture in all its glory is just wonderul. I've danced for Mr Cohen but he wasn't so impressed by my moves.

BaS it is then. I'm not so fussed by the Protector Trials in 1 and 2, I prefer story expansions. I do try to find everything, I'm just perhaps not very good at it.
Some of the audio logs in BaS are real "Oh, that's why..." moments. Some are also incredibly well hidden.

Clash in the Clouds is really just arena fighting, it's the combat elements of BI without story or distraction. I found it highly entertaining for quick bursts, ten minutes or twenty minutes of full on mayhem, but it doesn't add anything story-wise.
Go for BaS straight off. It's a real revelation! But word of advice? Try to find everything, otherwise you'll blitz through it in 4 hours and get very little from it.

Oh I totally agree on the story. Infinite does have a lot of plus points and I rather like the Lutece twins popping up but there is just something about Rapture and its inhabitants for me. When indoors in Columbia you can forget you are in the floating city whereas you never really get the chance to forget you are under the sea in Rapture.
Rellay looking forward to Burial at Sea. Should I dive straight into that one or do the other expansion first?

I rather liked the racially charged undertones of 3, the subtle, dark underbelly of such an outwardly enlightened city, so I thought the story was far smarter than the other two. Plus the game mechanics just feel a lot slicker and better implemented, so for me it played out much better.
You are so going to enjoy Burial at Sea though...

I think Bioshock Infinite will be complete tonight and then it is onto to the DLC. Definitely the weakest (if that it is the correct term to use) of the 3 for me now. As much as I like Elizabeth, Rapture has more atmosphere.
Over 9 hours on Forza Horizon 3 and judging by my progress stat, I've barely scratched the surface. This is going to keep me out of trouble for quite some time.
