Doesn't really matter in the end. It does nothing story wise except to make the player care for Elizabeth.

This is absolutely true. She may as well be one of the ghosty guys from the shitty second Matrix movie.
Reminds me of the infamous Creepy Watson.
I know. It just seemed like a no-win situation, since she's been locked in a cage her whole life and now there's a giant bird chasing her.

WHY WOULD YOU NOT SPOILER TAG THAT
The AI pedestal is more about how she interacts with the world.
Her emotions just by seeing a dead body.
Or exploring a room, and her calling you over to see what it is (some minor things). It's the small things that set her apart.
Yeah, she isn't perfect and has flaws. I agree with that 100%.
But AI partners are hardly ever done in games, and when they are, they are usually incredibly annoying, or you become there "baby sitter" of sorts.
With Liz, she's independent, and aids you (which is a big thing I think) rather than hinder you. An plus, she makes the journey..I don't know..just sooo much more enjoyable I think. I honestly don't love many video game characters, but I think I do with Liz.
But yeah, she ain't perfect. But she's a big step forward in the right direction in regards to those who have similarly tackled an ai partner in there games.
Yeah, I had my Vigor upgraded pretty far, though I pumped most of my upgrades to shield because you take so much damage on hard. As a matter of fact, I think that my playthrough was soiled by the fact that I played on Hard. You basically need to cheese the enemies due to their hitpoints and the damage they dish out.
Ok i need to know something from someone who has finished the game cause this is driving me nuts, I consider myself a completionist in these kind of games and i appear to have missed something. Me and Elizabeth came across
however I am unable to find this, the game has a tendency of letting you need something, find it later and backtrack if you so desire however I feel I have gone too far now to backtrack.
If someone could confirm or not wheher I have missed this item and need to reload a save, id be most gracious.
Some Vox markings inside a tavern and I was alluded to the existence of a book that she could use to decode them
I have just reached the Airship, been knocked out by Elizabeth and been conscripted to get arms for the Vox in return for the ship, since there appears to be no way back to that tavern I believe ive missed the book somewhere

So, can anyone describe what laying a Devil's Kiss mine looks like? Do you still toss it? Maybe I've been doing it right and just didn't realize it? Or does it drop where you're standing?

When you saw that the enemies were bullet sponges why didn't you try switching to Medium?
The game is awesome,I didn't even reach Elizabeth yet but man that stuttering is driving me nuts...I tried all the tricks/tweaks,everything is down to high,disabled ambient Occlusion and it still does it..it shouldnt on my rig...only thing left is to try lower resolutions then 1080p...
You'll see a sticky glob of boiling magma. You can stick them walls (where skylines pass by) or wherever. You might have to upgrade it first.
I think you passed a point of no return. That first code book is pretty close to the words it decodes.
Hahaha that's what I'm loving at the moment. Eavesdropping on strangers conversations has never been so much fun. Quite scary when they start talking about you, like you've just been caught. Just over an hour in and the world has sooo much to it already.

Remember, Columbia = AMERICA.
I really enjoyed finding that and solving that little "puzzle".

Oh! So the pop up that appears when you first get it may not apply until its upgraded? (It shows you button presses for both throw and set trap.)
Also, there's no way I'm even close to upgrade Vigors! I'm at like 600 and the first machine I came across was 1200. Do the machines offer the same upgrades no matter the location/how far you are?
Because dammit if I started it on hard, I'm going to finish it on hard. Even if it's through gritted teeth.
Bad habit, I know.
Yeah, later machines just add more stuff. You always have access to the upgrades you haven't bought yet.
That one's easy to miss. It's in a tricky spot.
The internet, where you cant simply disagree with someone, you have to accuse them of not understanding what theyre saying instead.
I'm afraid youre going to have to at least double dog dare me
So glad I have your permission for that champ
The first one that springs to mind in relation to this would be Bioshock, for all its flaws it felt genuinely novel and creative. Infinite on the other hand feels like Bioshock only lacking any of the spark, the game slaps you around the face with its "message" and the gameplay itself is, if anything, a step back from the original. It seems to be treading the same ground, hence I find it to be uninspired.
You toss it. It's a fiery thing on the ground with smoke coming out of it.
The glob can also be blown up by other stuff, like another another Devil's Kiss.
I LIKE THIS THING WHICH YOU DON'T LIKE
Just scout around where you've already been. Don't move too far ahead or you won't be able to return. There's no quest marker or anything for the optional stuff.
Looks like this is the culprit.
I think I'm about halfway through the game. Really enjoying it. Combat on hard I have no problem with. Enemies don't feel too bullet-spongy and the only fight that really pissed me off was the one with the Handyman after you get undertow. The machine gun is just insane after upgrades too, so I regret switching it out occasionally.
Elizabeth is great and as stated before she isn't perfect but light years ahead of what there usually is. My only real complaint is that her eyes feel a little dead at times when she is idle, like sitting down or leaning up against the wall. But other than that she's pretty amazing for an AI partner.

Bioshock Infinite is a game that falls apart the more you start to navel gaze at it. If you play through it like your average braindead military game, it all works well enough. But once you stop and look around, you notice how certain assets are way too low poly or badly textured for a 2013 PC title. The idle chatter of the citizens are fine if you are just running past them, but if you listen to their dialogue it's all horrible expositionary shlock. If you bother backtracking for the sake of the sidequests, you notice that while the world sure looks neat and seems creative, it's pretty dull and ordinary from a level design perspective.
haha im at an arcade with elizabeth and she sees a puppet game and goes
"This is the new flawless flintlock, i heard it was delayed THREE TIMES"
oh ken
The art direction of this game is astounding. It's like im back in boshock. The narratives of racism, hating on the irish, it's such an interesting message.

Playing on Normal!
Yeah, I wish Elizabeth wasn't constantly throwing coins at me. It doesn't seem like she's actually helping by picking up coins I've missed, either. It's just on a cooldown and it happens like every five minutes or if I go to a vending machine.
And this girl must have been softball pitching champion of the tower youth team, because she can underhand toss a machine gun directly into my hands from about 100 meters away.

Nonsense. Very few games have such wide open and varied arenas these days. So much use of verticality and mobility - I wish level design like this was "ordinary", so that it would be in more games.

Some of you guys need to spoiler little details. I don't even want to know names and would rather see that in spoiler tags or just take it right to the spoiler thread.

Am I supposed to be able to change vigors? Whenever I get a new one, seems I can't go back to previous ones. I must be missing something.
ViGors? On PC just use the number keys.
Hold down the left bumper/L1/whatever.

On PS3. I see them all in a list, but I can't select them.
I just bought the Season Pass, it popped up in game saying I had the Early Bird DLC.
I got all the other parts of the DLC (skins, weapon upgrades etc)
But it said the 5 Infusions were at the Blue Ribbon Restaurant. I've already done that part, so is there any way for me to get back there?
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Its a difficult line to tow that, between being suspenseful and being boring. "So we'll just give you action!" has been the general consensus now for a while. Im getting used to it.
Lots of options but they can't touch you if you're riding full speed on a skyline, instead theyll shock the line to get you off of it. As soon as they start shocking the line, leap off and attack their hearts. Many vigor combos are especially effective too such as laying a shock jockey mine field and then using undertow to pull the handyman into it. as that stuns him (and the water/electricity combo in these two produces a true stun) shoot his heart. These are just a few ideas.

Zap them with Shock jockey (seems to have a very minor stun effect on them), then shotgun/RPG to the heart. Use the rail systems where possible to maintain your distance from them, they will also waste time electrocuting the rails (at which point you should leap off), giving you a few seconds to unload on them without fear of reprisal. Be careful as on hard mode you can quickly find yourself with very little ammo/cash if a handyman keeps stomping you, whenever you recover he'll also get a partial health regen. Can be pretty hard to come back from if you're against the ropes financially and ammo wise.
Pretty sure I just ate shit in Bioshock.
Technically, it was two potatoes, but they were perfectly placed in an otherwhise clean upscale toilet, surrounded by flies. And I don't think I've seen potatoes anywhere else in the game yet.
Is that another one of Levine's deep messages?
