It's crazy how optional it was. I told my friend to explore everything in shantytown just for that incredible moment and he still missed it somehow.

Oh yes. Feels so goddamn good. That's what I did in the fight against
Lady Comstock's ghost zombies. FUCK YOU, GHOST ZOMBIES, SUCK. ON. THIS.
With the Overkill gear, that combo is even better. I love it.
Possession is fucking awesome. Possess a dude and then use Shock Jockey and he becomes a walking tesla coil.
Heavy hitters can also be possessed. It doesn't last as long but it's hilarious and awesome while it does.

I want Booker T DLC. Sidestory where you experience racism in Columbia as a black character. Also, a dedicated spinnaroonie button.
Fuck it, bought it anyway. Went from 2 uses and half a bar of nothing to 5 full uses. Hopefully the suicide counts towards the gear that has a 40% chance for enemies to give me salt so I can become a possessing motherfucker.
I would have just done it and reloaded to test the difference but lord only knows how far back I would be set.
Just finished. Great game.
The final set-piece
didn't bother me that much, but it wasn't my favorite battle. I just took the high ground with a
after dying once and it was pretty easy.
Handymen were brutal and terrifying, much like big daddies in the first.
The ending truly surprised me, in retrospect it probably shouldn't have, but I was just enjoying the ride too much to bother processing all the clues.

Did that and ended up like an OP blinking Corvo. Rarely did I lose health if I kept spamming that.
Possession also turns almost all AIs into a resource, especially Patriots which can gatling gun combo with your vigor stuns.
It's a great investment. Also try shocking patriots right before you possess them. Oops, beaten by Zeliard.

So how much do I have left GAF?
The general combat has become more satisfying with everything unlocked (Bucking Bronco + upgrade + Handcannon, love it) but it has also become almost ONLY shootout to shootout as well. Enemies seem to have received a bump in HP
but new gun upgrades are available as well. My new favorite combo is Carbine/Handcannon.
Got the airship back, Fitzroy dead, now in Comstock's tower I think? Just went through a turnstile that leads to an elevator.

Dammit, I want to experiment more with the combos, but Bronco, Shotgun/Jockey is just too damn good.

Is the Postman choice from the E3 demo not in? Nothing I saw in the E3 demo is actually in this game. Or at least, I haven't come across it yet.

Watched the end sequence, proper finished.

*HandyMan appears*
Oh shit! I'll escape using the Skylane!

Happened to me... when there was no platform beneath me.

I had a Handyman somehow accidentally kill himself when I jumped on a Skyline and he flew over an edge.
Oh man, I missed this one. Where does it pop up?
I love that stuff. I looked up a bunch of the covers on Youtube and they're all great.

Finally finished it... excellent story but the game was nearly ruined with all the forced combat.
Someone's saying something plot-related on the intercom but you can't soak it in because there's a dozen dudes shooting at you from every direction. Other times you're forced to fight before advancing, which I didn't like.
The review scores I'm seeing right now are no doubt influenced by the game's huge budget.

Or maybe people just enjoyed the combat like almost all of us here in this thread?

As in you're stuck on the geometry or do you not know where to go?

Ran into some kind of glitch in the good time club
After fighting waves of enemies (this isnt fun), I enter a door, kill two guys and get to another door where Elizabeth has to unlock it
But she wont because shes stuck in her scared state
So okay
I restart the checkpoint
But now I have to fight those waves of enemies
Man this is fucking dumb. Why did they take away the ability to save anywhere and put this dumb checkpoint system in there
Ughhhhj

Side note but the budget rumors reported on were just that: false rumors from an unnamed source. But just as dev hell became the narrative and stuck, so too will the 200 million stuff it seems.
I know its not what youre saying but as an aside you can
board and manually take down every zeppelin in that sequence.

Ending is pretty neat, but it isn't 999 levels of mind blowing. Just saying. I was wrong in my previous theory, but
Well executed nevertheless.
By the end the combat does become interesting. It is just a shame it doesn't escape the common faults that come with "cover shooter with shield recovery". I don't think 1999 mode will fix that, it probably just makes it more important. All and all, a good game with terrible pacing in parts. 3/5 at worst, 4/5 at best, with me leaning towards the latter. Kind of surprised how much I like it compared to BioShock...
I imagine gears being random isn't really a good thing either. I'm sure that my experience would be quite different, for better or worse, with different gears. Storm + "shock aoe if you overkill an enemy" played a big role in some fights. For example I took down the
no problem all three times, though I think a Crank Gun played a big role for the second fight.
I had a guess what this game would be about way back when it was revealed and they were showing Elizabeth's powers, and it was pretty much the ending (or the twist before the last twist). another "magic city" + "Infinite" title... not hard to imagine.

I guess geometry. I can't turn far enough to even view anyone.
The little thing comes up that says how many I shot and thats it. I cant back up and can only look left and right a little. Is this a glitch?

Just finished the game. I'm... just sitting here processing everything. I've sat here for quite a number of minutes thinking. Overall, I liked how it all came together, but there's just something that's just tearing me apart from inside about the ending and all that jazz.

It's okay, I had a mild stroke after the end also.
I had this awesome bug where I was on an airship as it turned sideways and got flung horizontally for what must have been dozens of miles. I could see the entire city off in the distance as well as the earth down below which was bathed in red from all the fighting going on (it was night). I had fraps running but didn't think to take a screenshot . Eventually I died and when I respawned I was frozen in place.

Yeah, you need to pick up your prize before you can leave.
Quoting for posterity, because this is the proper response to completion of the game.
