I agree, that was by far the worst part of the game,
felt like Brutal Legend and was probably just as clumsy.

A giant Skyhook playground and the culmination of your full capabilities in combat. Maximum fun.

Agreed, beat it on my first try and it was intense! I loved it.

I think the Motorized Patriot's reveal would have been a lot more awesome if they hadn't been heavily featured in pre-release trailers/info. Because seeing them as just regular statues in the first few hours, and then you get to the point where suddenly out of nowhere one starts up and attacks you: that could have been a very frightening experience.
Also, about Booker. I liked his (admittedly few) interactions with people at the beginning. But I was a bit annoyed when I was in the
church just after arriving in Columbia, and he kept saying that he needed to find a way into the city. I was like "Screw that, I'm looking everywhere." Didn't seem to do that otherwise, though, so I'm optimistic that things like that won't continue to be an issue.
Up until the head comes off the head too is a weak point.
Yeah, it was a blast on Medium. I was so glad I wasn't playing on Hard any more in the last few hours.
Having to
focus on the ship's core, Songbird's availability and taking down ships made that whole encounter a stressful ordeal and it arguably had the most annoying enemy group compositions in the whole game

-sigh- It's probably close for me to sleep because I'm not sure what I am suppose to be doing / not doing.
After finding the second tear, I'm facing the raised dead and mother ghost bitch and for whatever reason, can't figure out what I'm suppose to do. Kill her? All the dead? Meh. Help me out please

I failed it twice on hard, and was considering just pushing it down to Medium, but fuck that, I had to do it right, can't puss out on the final battle. Shit was stressful, but very satisfying. I really had to use everything that wasn't bolted down for that one.
Difficulty level?
Glad I switched to Medium. Made that entire segment manageable and fun.
Now I'm wondering how much the <Blackwater Bay Spoilers>
the giant Monument collapse is inspired by 9/11. It would make sense, the patriotic fervor that was the result of that terrorist attack, and seeing the city draw together and collectively look up in awe and horror as they watch their monument burning and pieces of it falling is extremely evocative of 9/11.
Haha yeah I agree. Such are the benefits of a total media blackout for those who managed it, I guess.
One thing I love about the Motorized Patriots is how aggressive they can get if you're trying to kite them around an object. At some point they just go "fuck it" and go full throttle around it to meet you.
If there is one fault in the narrative/worldview of this game, and its a similar one to Bioshock, its that I don't really understand the context of everyday normal use of Vigors for regular citizens.
I wish there was a scene where you saw regular people using them in the context of a normal day, or something.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Yep, exactly. On hard it's a frustrating ordeal against awful enemy combinations, each that has an obnoxious amounts of health.
There's basically zero wiggle room and it exemplifies the game's miserable checkpointing too. One early mistake and you might as well restart because you're fucked.
I suspect the hit points on it aren't high enough, especially across difficulty levels.

It's not hard at all. Return to Sender and Shotgun fuck up everyone easily. I played on Hard and didn't die once.

Do not understand the wack ass save system in this game. What kind of consolized shit is this?

Kill her, also, set zombies on fire or electrocute them to melt their bodies. Elizabeth's mom can only raise dead people who are laying on the ground, stick with it.

I think I'll finish it tomorrow.
It's too bad all the destruction in Columbia took away some of the livelier colors in the game. Hazy red/purple doesn't do the game justice.

Oh man, I was fighting a Patriot at one point and was out of Salt and all I had was a machine gun and a sniper rifle. So I was kiting around one of the wagons taking pot-shots at it, and then I hear it whir up and start charging around after me. I turned around and straight up bolted down the street in fright.
They do a good job of setting up Shock Jockey as one that has every day uses. But yeah, I agree the rest would have been nice to have some sort of real world application shown.

Yeah I agree, not sure if the
haze
I beat it first try on 1999, the ship still had about 25% hp left even though there were groups of enemies just blasting at it for awhile.
Yeah, Shock Jockey was the only one where I could see practical use of it in the world made sense.
But stuff like Murder of Crows? Uhhhh
She just keeps saying "Oh my god" after I tear off and fling a guys head fifty yards away. I would figure after the fiftieth time she would be used to it by now.

I didn't actually think about it like that until you mentioned it, but I can definitely see the parallels. The imagery was really powerful, I honestly stood there and looked at the monument burning for a good while before moving on.

Did...Elizabeth give herself a quick haircut when she went in that room to change outfits?

That scene where Booker picked up the (mid-game/Shantytown spoilers)
might have been one of the sweetest/most heartwarming moments I've seen in gaming.
Quite a lovely moment.
guitar and Elizabeth started singing to the little kid
Quite a lovely moment.
just started this. Looks great on my pc, all maxed out. I disliked Dishonored's artstyle and feared this would have had a similar one, but luckly it's not the case. The striking difference from the first Bioshock (shiny and sunny vs decadence and darkness) is puzzling, as I much prefer the latter. Story has potential, and I must admit the racist Columbia is more unforgiving than I thought. Gameplay is typical Bioshock, simple and quick, and exploration seems abundant and interesting. Good game indeed, for now
If Murder of Crows existed in real-life Elliott would probably use it around the Irrational offices.

Charge would be great to do a quick little teleport. And the water/octopus one would be great to grab crap off of far away shelves.
I gotta thank you guys for making a shooter that doesn't make you ads to kill things. I absolutely loved the combat.

Ha, wow. I need to stop huffing spray paint I guess.
All of the vigors would have a very significant impact on warfare.

Charge + a shotgun blast to the face was a great combo for me.

I never bought that. I only used possession on the turrets just to get them off my back.
And obviously on every vending machine in the game.
