Music spoiler.
Hahahaha. Cyndi Lauper is the Mozart of Columbia. Amazing.
I really wish rockets were stronger in this game.

After having beat this on Hard I'll be starting up 1999 mode. I have a decent grasp on the game and know somewhat what I plan to do. I'll be streaming it at http://www.twitch.tv/krappadizzle if anyone cares to join me. I'll wait about 5 mins and start the new game up.
Bucking Bronco + Charge is the best.

Honestly, I've said this before, but looking back on every vigor other than maybe the lightning bolt, they all have interesting effects on groups of enemies. BB is great because of the super low cost.
Haha, I'll have to try it out more then. Like I said, I have been swapping out but mostly just to keep it fresh for myself, as I'm trying to avoid a Bioshock 1 scenario of beasting on the game with the shock + wrench as that got incredibly dull.
It's just hard to give up one of the two weapons when I have been getting a good groove with both to try to give another a shot for encounters where I don't know what will be thrown at me.
Just finished it.
This is, hands down, the best game I've ever played in my entire life. And I play games since 1980's.
What a story. What an ending. So epic. Amazing gameplay, incredible characters, stunning visuals, oscar winning soundtrack and Columbia. I'm speechless.
Chrono Trigger, so sorry, but step down. Bioshock Infinite is now my favourite game of all time.
I'll play it again, just need some time. Still absorbing the ending.

The vigors are all pretty great, and the combos are awesome, especially when you amplify them with certain gear. Lightning is fantastic against groups; hook it up to Undertow and something like the Storm Hat and good night Irene.
Going salt-heavy is the most enjoyable way to play this game.
No, it's quite a bit further in.
Finished it.
That was.
wow. Though I think I knew part of the twist before hand ,
Will most likely replay ASAP. As of now The Last of Us is the only other game contending for GOTY over Infinite. It will be hard topping it.

Booker being Comstock due to the fact they let Comstock be so mysterious. It hit me around the time Elizabeth changed her clothes.

Cool, thanks.
I think a lot of people got that part. It's just...everything else that is so mind-blowing.

Why was it so hard to sneak up on enemies in this game? Often I'd crouch and move into an area where there were enemies with their backs turned. Then all of a sudden the music ramps up and they all turn and attack me.

Because it's not a stealth game?
I loved knocking bunch of dudes off an airship with one Undertow blast. Oh and grabbing snipers and pulling them onto the barrel of a shotgun never got old. And walking up to a motorised patriot with Return to sender while catching all his bullets was pretty badass.
I'd love to see dual wielding vigors in one of the pieces of dlc.

Dual wielding vigors would be awesome. I'm just discovering how fun undertow and charge can be in my second playthrough.

Genius! I need to do this on my next playthrough.
I have to shake my fist at the person in charge of compiling those files. WHY NO AUDIO FILE TAGS. AUGH.

During the end-game
you can pull all the enemies to you with Undertow, then push them back off. It makes the ship-to-ship battle so damn easy. You never have to leave your ship, unless you'd like recharge salts or something.

How far into the game am I? I just got to
Fink Manufacturing.

That was literally the first thing I did once I got Undertow. I Skylined up to an airship, landed down, threw out an Undertow which blasted them all out into space, and jumped back onto the Skyline shouting "Booker AWAAAAAY!"

Probably about half way.
About halfway.

Oh cool, I'm further in than I thought.
I feel the same way. Once this gets combat heavy, I really start to dislike the game.

I think my favourite room in the game was probably the bit in Shantytown
. Awesome scale, great opportunities to use everything you've learnt up to that point... just a satisfying encounter on every level.
with the two giant turrets and the rails
If you just landed at the docks, then you are about 35% of the way through the game. Not quite the halfway point yet.

Oh, yes that's exactly where I am.
You still have a lot of game in front of you judging from my own progress
getting to the halfway point, like 40 percent ish
I'm so happy some of you do this. It's how I play and part of what makes the "corridor shooter" charge seem so outlandish.
If Call of Duty had Skylines I might actually consider playing it.

Chaining Shock Jockey with Bucking Bronco is amazing.
Bombarding dudes on the ship with the hail gun then turning around to do it again is plenty fun too.

My favorite combo.
There are some encounters that are in corridors though. Mostly in the beginning, which gives off a rough first impression.
Was that a conscious decision, to ease players into understanding the mechanics before experiencing the more open environments?

Honestly I think people are creating a disservice to themselves if they play this game like a regular shooter. Part of what makes combat so amazing is all the options you have at your fingertips. If I finish a combat sequence and haven't used every tear available to me, I feel disappointed in myself. I immediately think "Aw man, I could have done THAT!" My one sadness is that the water pools and oil spills and things like that, if they aren't tears, are really hard to spot when you're zipping around a battlefield and a lot of time if I end up using them, it's completely on accident.
If you play the game like Call of Duty, it's obviously going to be like Call of Duty. But if you play it like Bioshock Infinite, it's a different experience and really amazing. You just have to be in the right mindset.
I get it though, at least early on. The beginning of the game before you start to actually get to skylines in combat seems fairly sterile, and at least when I was playing through it (on hard) it made far more sense to pop in and out of cover while maybe laying out a trap or two. I didn't have the creativity I wanted, partially because of the absence of some of the systems that are just now opening up (I just finished
Lady Comstock's Airship
That being said, skylines are just now popping up in combat. And it's awesome. I think even before the skylines started popping up in earnest, there was a missed chance to at least put some of those hooks up in the sky for players to escape to.
How were people NOT Undertowing dudes off the city? I did the all the time. Very fun in big fights to start Undertowing people away while moving through skylines.
With the range increase UT is a beast. I was using that during a certain airship heavy part of the game like crazy.

Was mostly able to stay on mine and UT dudes on the next ship over.
