Total play time: 10 hours. Next episode: Sekiro.

[@godofewok8529]

If you do Sekiro I’m doing it too!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Go for it!

[@lewiscarr4004]

when can we roughly expect the sekiro episode Adam??

[@AdamMcDermott]

@@lewiscarr4004 In 5-9 weeks. I have a lot of footage and want to make sure I do the game justice.

[@ConnorStevensonProductions]

I love how you filmed at the old set because bioshock infinite was your 4th video and the nostalgia was hitting hard while watching

[@adrianalexanderveidt344]

That transorbital lobotomy scene is the best cut scene in gaming history.

[@JustLikeJp]

So much passion and time invested into every video you create! You deserve every sub you get and I can't wait to see when you have 100's of thousands! Keep it up for the Irish lads!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Each one is a labour of love. Glad you can see it in the final video. That is very nice of you to say. Thank you. The channel is doing well and the future is bright. I will indeed keep it up!

[@OhYouMusty]

Bioshocks dlcs are gems this one and Minerva’s den 👌🏻

[@lm6827]

Minerva's Den might be the best thing in BioShock period! Comparing it to Burial at Sea is just wild.

[@brookeleah99]

Glad to finally have a chance to watch this video! Since for awhile while I’ve been using data my KZbin app has been locked in restricted mode since my T-Mobile account had parental controls on for whatever reason, which must’ve blocked access to this video but thankfully my dad finally listened and called in so they’d turn them off 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@AdamMcDermott]

Cool. Glad you can watch KZbin again.

[@xithael8709]

Man, I was not expecting burial at sea, or another episode in general for a while. Much appreciated Adam!

[@AdamMcDermott]

You are more than welcome. Also, cool to hear how patient you are.

[@SebCarrasco]

Ending of Part One trophy was EXACTLY half way through the video. If that was intentional, bravo sir!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Pretty cool. That was a happy accident. When editing I don't pay attention to time, just let it flow. Segments and parts are as long or as short as they need to be.

[@Diabetesnofan23]

Ahh! The old setup! Gives off the last of us platinum vibes. Loved the video Adam

[@AdamMcDermott]

Felt appropriate for playing a game with Booker and Elizabeth again. Was fun doing stuff old-school. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@SilentSte]

I love seeing someone have the same reaction to these games as I do. I know some people didn't like the ending of the DLC (as an Elizabeth fan it certainly hurts!) but for me it wraps up the series perfectly. A great video as always.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Yeah, I like the ending too. Cheers, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@pietrowienke2758]

So glad that someone with your passion for true gaming took time to make a special vídeo like this one about a masterpeace like Burial at Sea. Thank You for that!

[@AdamMcDermott]

You are more than welcome. Was so much fun covering Burial at Sea.

[@TheInfamousIceman]

Your videos don’t get nearly enough recognition Adam. Can’t wait until the next video!

[@AdamMcDermott]

That is nice of you to say. Cheers.

[@Creamcheese550]

First time I watched you was your DOOM 2016 platinum you came a long way

[@AdamMcDermott]

I did not have the best of times with DOOM, haha. Yeah, I think the videos have improved over the years too. Now feel comfortable taking on games that aren't difficult, but can have fun highlighting other aspects of them - characters/setting/story.

[@twiggymunson6669]

Excellent video Adam! This piece of DLC is just so.. incredible. Shame that DLCs nowadays are a fraction of what this was. Looking forward to Sekiro - and the Witcher 3! (I like the beard!)

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you. Yeah, few DLCs are anywhere near as good as this these days. Sekiro is now in the writing stage. It is shaping up to be a huge episode. Might be a while until it is done. Glad you like the beard. I shaved at the start of recording The Witcher 3 so the episode will have a progression of time as the beard gets bigger, haha.

[@Deepfry55]

A new Adam McDermott video! What a great way to start my weekend. Cheers from Canada

[@AdamMcDermott]

Cheers from Ireland!

[@Lumpengraf]

I love to see that you like Bioshock as much as I do :D

[@chaosiscoming9184]

I'm working on my 57th platinum now >:) Canis Canem Edit (PS4) some of these trophies may take a while... Well done on your plat brother Adam :) My 58-60th hopefully will be, Dynasty Warriors 9, Days Gone and between Assassin Creed: Vikings or Hogwarts PS4 come April

[@Toga__]

I’m not usually a dlc person, but this made me appreciate the story and game so much more

[@AdamMcDermott]

I had the same reaction.

[@GuyFarruski]

Great episode! Still need to jump on a Bioshock game!

[@livmeaden3089]

Instant click when I saw you uploaded this - love the game, love the commentary, love the commitment 🥰

[@AdamMcDermott]

Cheers. I'll always have a soft spot for Bioshock.

[@mrbungle3310]

I recently finished the story with burial at sea,it was a bit of a mess,but still liked the story aspect of it,and the worlds of Colombia and Rapture are always immersive

[@AdamMcDermott]

Understandable thinking the story is a bit of mess. You are not alone.

[@garystringer2582]

I'm with you - the Bioshock games are God tier for me. I did use a glitch to achieve the platinum with the original mind. 😅

[@justinbezaire8115]

One of the most genuine dudes on KZbin. I believe you should have 20x the subs. But no one else does this, so I'm glad that this channel exists

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you very much. The OG look felt appropriate doing the Bioshock Infinite DLC. Nice little throwback.

[@BongoHunter]

It's always a pleasure to watch your videos Adam. After seeing how atmospheric the games are, I'll definitely have to play them.

Congratulations. I'm honoured I inspired you. Don't worry, I plan on covering PS6 games.

[@gmattimoe]

Love to see you revisiting the world of Bioshock again, Adam. A wonderful swansong to the series. Keep an eye on the horizon for Ken Levine's (head writer of Bioshock series) new game Judas or maybe the remastered System Shock coming to PS5 soon for another dip into that style of world. Brilliant episode, cheers

[@AdamMcDermott]

Yep, I'm keeping a close eye on both. Very exciting.

[@xphoenix1400]

Love the beard You should try growing it for the rest of the year and see what happens

[@AdamMcDermott]

Cheers. The beard will be around for another while but I'll be trimming it after that. Personally prefer stubble over full beard. However, the beard will be back when appropriate like God of War Ragnaork.

I need to replay this so I can "hopefully" give 1999 difficulty a shot. That's the only thing I need to do, oh and do it without using the dollar bill machine. 1998 difficulty in Burial At Sea got really dificult when you go back to Columbia.

Yeah, the hardest difficulty can be tough.

[@dylan-6362]

Awesome cannot wait. I started sekiro too, let's just say I know this will be harder than Bloodborne imo

[@AdamMcDermott]

Best of luck with Sekiro. I found Sekiro overall easier than Bloodborne because no boss was as difficult as Watchdog of the Old Lords in the Chalice Dungeons. That's just me though. Don't worry if you find it difficult, there is a steep learning curve.

[@dylan-6362]

@@AdamMcDermott yeah, my goal is to have this game done by the time you have the episode out. I'm stuck on the first boss. Bloodborne was somewhat difficult for me. I feel like sekiro will be harder for me though. But Lawrence was the hardest boss for me in Bloodborne as a whole.

[@AdamMcDermott]

@@dylan-6362 The episode won't be done for a while so you have plenty of time. Lawrence was so tough. The first proper boss in Sekiro can be tricky.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you. I'll have a video out this week Replaying Spec Ops: The Line with a beard too. Then I'll go back to shaved until doing God of War Ragnaork.

[@wayne9583]

I'm not usually one for DLC as I kind of still see it as a rip off but this for me is an exception. Probably the best DLC with an incredible ending. Have only played on this on PS3, will definitely replay but on the PS4 versions some day. Great video as usual 😊

[@AdamMcDermott]

Yeah, it is almost like getting another Bioshock game. Excellent DLC. Cheers. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@joshuatucker4380]

Congrats I only did first episode

[@FrenchFries2]

I'm so glad to see you take a dive back into Bioshock Infinite. Also, when you make your Sekiro video, will you be putting any advice on how to beat bosses? I'm currently stuck on a boss right now that I literally put 5 hours into it, and I still didn't beat it, I actually quit the game for the time being, and moved onto something else. Honestly, it made me prefer the more defensive style of Elden Ring since you have shields, and it seems a lot easier than Sekiro.

[@AdamMcDermott]

I suppose there won't be any explicit advice, but I will show how I beat some bosses. Trial and error and figuring stuff out. Episode is recorded by the way. I do post-production on one episode during the day and record the next in the evening. What boss is frustrating you?

[@FrenchFries2]

@Adam McDermott It's Genichro Ashina, I can get him to the second phase, and even sometimes, the third. It's just his attacks on those two phases that feel unpredictable to parry/block/or avoid.

[@MrThelonicus]

These games are such gems, I replay them annually and I sincerely hope Levine does it again with Judas.

[@AdamMcDermott]

I have a fond spot for them too. Cautiously optimistic for Judas.
