Thanks! I forgot that thing is useful for more than clocking people. :lol I actually looked up more than once but never saw the prompts for some reason. That arrow was trolling me, I kept thinking I was supposed to jump!Look at the ceiling
Yeah, that part was tough for me since I had like one tranq dart left and not enough salts/EVE for Old Man Winter. Luckily I'd got both Peeping Tom upgrades and just sat there waiting for the Houdini Splicers to just teleport in front of me, lol.
Agreed!

I also forgot about the Skyhook at that part
Me too, I felt so stupid. Peeping Tom actually highlights the skyhooks too.
I dunno if it was just me though but I feel like they dialed down the "magnetism" for the skyhooks--I had to be in a much smaller zone for it to prompt me to grab it, whereas in Infinite proper I felt like I was launching myself fifty feet to snag one.

I'm not sure. Sometimes it felt that way but there were others where I could get it to work from a mile away.
This is actually a side effect of ceilings on jump parabolas.
Finished it and can't help feeling a bit sad (in a good way, though) now. It's been an amazing ride here from the first Bioshock to the sequel and Minerva's Den and now it's come to an end. I wholeheartedly want to thank Irrational, 2K Marin and 2K Games for this beautiful experience and wish them all the best in the future.
Ah, cool, and that makes a lot of sense. Good to know I wasn't just imagining things.

Started playing some of the season pass stuff the other day.
Clash in the Clouds:
Having a lot of fun with this. I've been playing this first before going into the episodes. I felt like the combat encounters were a little off in the vanilla game but I'm having a lot of fun going through the waves here. Interested in filling out the museum.
Episode 1:
Being back in Rapture was great, especially since it's before the 'fall'. It's a shame the npcs couldn't have been more organic with their conversations. I had fun though, just revisiting the cold and moody areas under the sea. I wish their would have been some more detective stuff or something going on.
The ending had me laughing but it was cool to see the hints and lead up to it. Elizabeth has sure grown up and her VA has been doing a super job.
Episode 2:
Only played the intro and a section or so after. That intro though and the color. Really cool how
. The story has already gone off the deep end 5 deep ends ago but I'm curious to see out play out all the same.
I'm digging the stealth stuff and it's working surprisingly well with the engine. I think I'm gonna try to do a no kill run so I can unlock 1999 mode or whatever it was called.

Yeah, it's a nice little package.
Mostly the stuff you collect is concept art and models. There are some behind the scenes videos but I haven't unlocked any. Oh, and there are some music samples. It seem a little on the low side but I liked having a big ass model of Songbird front and center.
No voxo stuff.

I just got a glitch at the point where you
The whole area is just black and I can't move, did anyone else come across this and do you know of any work around?
Return to Rapture to put the hair in the tube.

Also, Sander Cohen is such a troll.
I totally expected that jump-scare.

Concept art, models and full recordings of some of the covers. As someone who found the combat in Infinite as pretty tedious, it's less so in CitC because you have such a greater variety of combat options and the skyhook usually plays a much bigger role.

I agree with that. Although I really liked Minerva's Den.

I can't figure out if I'm experiencing a bug or not here. Can someone confirm if there is an invisible, fire throwing enemy on the way back to Fontain's office?

If you're at the part of the DLC I think you're at, then yes, that is a real enemy and not a bug.
It's a Houdini splicer. You should've seen a few already by now.
EDIT: Well, if they're ALWAYS invisible, then yeah, that's probably a bug. My guess is that they're not.

Right, this is why I'm confused. He's always invisible... He's walking across the water below a skyhook near a stairway.

I knew that was coming and it still got me pretty bad.
Respawning enemies in episode 2 is a bit of a bummer. Luckily you can knock them out pretty easily though (dumb as nuts).
I was wrong btw. Apparently there are Voxophones, was a nice surprise.
One of my favorite things to do in this DLC is aerial takedowns in the wide open spaces. Attach to a ceiling hook, swoop down behind an enemy and do a stealth take down. So fucking satisfying.
I reallllllly wish there was a way they could re-introduce these stealth elements in the main game lol, but I don't think it would work too well.
Put in another 2 hours last night and got to the point where you
, and while I don't agree that this is better than Left Behind, it's easily top 5 DLC Ive ever played and it really feels essential to the BIoshock experience, like this is the true last act of the game, in a weird Stephen King way or something.

you need to go to Fontaine's office after Ryan sicks his goons on you

That definitely happened to me as well and it was annoying. You can't shoot him with a plasmid when he's invisible because it goes through him but he'll still alert everybody to your presence. I ended up just having to run through that section and it made me mad because I wanted to collect stuff.

Oh man, I pitched a next-gen BI edition that involved this. It would, of course, have required a ton of work.

Sweet Jesus, I would have loved to have seen a tweaked next gen version of Infinite.
get a pc bruh

98 was the last time I owned a PC.
I was reading that originally the architecture was supposed to me much more art nouveau-inspired but the technical considerations of trying to render a lot fo intricate flowing organic architecture would have been too problematic. Would have loved to see that in the city though (beyond the slight touches in the Emporia areas.
They show up as separate weapons in the weapon wheel.

Yup, just hold down RB button man.
I love how even Elizabeth points out how pointless the ending to Infinite was near the end of the story.
I really enjoyed this DLC. Gameplay was just better all round (outside of that horrible stealth/wall hack combo) and didn't feel so disconnected from the story. Played both in 1999 mode and it felt almost like a survival horror game... Episode 2 especially.
I didn't like the original Bioshock all that much... but this game definitely makes me appreciate the setting and the overall story a lot more. But it's just crazy to me how they were basically willing to sacrifice all the implications of Infinite's ending just to go back to Rapture one last time and basically tell a story that really doesn't even matter in the grand scheme of things.
