No, everyone experiences the same story. Those few little choices have no impact.

Yep. An awesome thing.
it was to show imo that regardless what you picked you still would have ended up where you did in the end. Infinite possibly yet only one ending
The game is a lot more meta then a lot of people realize. Especially the ending
Ok I have question about the chapter select. So I started it on 1999 and it's a tad bit difficult so I was wondering if I could load a chapter I just started from the chapter select and change the difficulty. I went to try but it immediately brought up "this will erase your auto save" so I didn't proceed. Can any one help?
Jesus Christ there is another
fight?
This is such ridiculous bullshit on Hard.
what a cheap way of making a "hard" enemy . fuck this game is really dragging on now I just want to finish, am i close to being done?
lady comstock
This is such ridiculous bullshit on Hard.
I walk in, low ammo, no ammo near me, shes spawning infinite amounts of pinpoint accuracy drones, shes a bullet sponge and vigors dont do jack all against her

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
The ending almost felt like
a commentary on sequelization. Omni-Elizabeth felt like an author surrogate.
Get through it. You're almost there.
Fairly close. Don't worry, the point you're at is the most tedious part of the game, and frankly I wish they would've
just had it as one fight. Having to burn her minions so they don't respawn is clever, but three times is too much.
Parts of it, yes. The art direction, environments, music, beginning, the over all story and ending were great. The core gameplay... not so much. There were too many times the game dragged on and too many annoying enemies slowing down the narrative. I definitely agree with Evilore that the game should not have been a shooter.
a few hours to go at least.
Yeah the last couple hours were like yeesh.
The fact that the mechanic is repeated 3 times is insulting. That game is way above that kind of padding. It's baffling that no one called them out on that internally.
That was the first time I turned down the difficulty. It was too much bullshit and the enemies were a little too precise and too cheap. The only other time I turned down the games difficulty was at the end. So a big heads up on that. Everything else was doable even if it is all bullshit.
It did. It all felt very self conscious. I liked it a lot, because it's something you don't see much in games and it's almost like a "hey lets look back over the years and hash it out".

I feel that the game took a nosedive gameplay wise after
Fitzroy dies and the enemies you have to fight become the Vox
I agree with this completely.

I really wish the game was heavier on the skyrail traversal. I wouldn't have minded some light platforming or something. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if DLC fulfills my wishes.
anyone?
I literally have no idea how it's supposed to work.

A couple hours, maybe even three
Really? Oh wow.
I just beat the game a little while ago. All I can say is holy shit, what an ending. I had to read a bit in the spoiler thread to make sense of it all, but it's very satisfying once you realize how it all fits together.
Negative, no option for difficulty.

Yeah, you aren't gonna finish it today without rushing it and trust me, you don't want to do that.
Can't you dial down the difficulty from the start menu?
Choose a chapter and just change the difficulty when you start. There's no other way as far as I know.
I did it for the final battle, but I loaded the chapter before, just to be sure I had enough ammo since I was stuck there for a while.
ok so i beat it after a half an hour of frustration and all my money and ammo drained.
walked around from point a to point b aimlessly for what felt to be forever...
edit; so i died once, going to finish for the tonight on this terrible terrible note. these types of scenerios are why I often just give up with games and they become a part of my backlog. It's a shame. We'll see if I can suffer through the rest of this game tomorrow

ONLY TO REALIZE I HAVE TO FIGHT LADY COMSTOCK FOR A 3RD (AND SEEMINGLY MOST FRUSTRATING) TIME

Yeah that last fight was a bitch, because there was nowhere to hide and take cheap shots.

Murder of Crows/Devils Kiss combo. It massacres her underlings quickly so you can focus on her.

Nvm someone explained it.
That fight's not as bad as the second, IMO, because you can call in a mosquito.
Just beat it! I felt since
the entire story would
I am still processing what happened in the end, but I don't understand the hatred of it, it's an amazing ending. I want to shake the hands of the art design team, writing staff, and punch in the face whoever thought it was a good idea for us to
one of the voxaphone recordings I found of lutece
be about something relating to infinite possibilities, universal constants.
fight lady Comstock 3 fucking times.

Lady Comstock's ghost all those times was probably the low point of the game for me. Not sure if I was doing something wrong, but there's nothing worse than invulnerable minion enemies.
Wont be able to finish the game until tomorrow night, if not Sunday, but i stopped at
From what I understand, thats the start of the endgame.

I can't remember the last time I felt like this playing a game. But it truly feels like I'm witnessing/experiencing a true classic of the medium as its released.
Hand of the Prophet
Late Game Spoilers: The scene where
Elizabeth is in the shadows and grabs your hand, and reveals herself to be 80+ years old and standing in front of 1983 New York which is currently burning/under attack was mind bogglingly amazing. Just an incredible reveal.

Played it on Hard, didn't know you could
burn Lady Comstock's minions...
I must have died dozens upon dozens of times on the middle of the three fights against her. I had 8 shots in a shotgun and 2 shots in a heater, dudes started pinging me as soon as I approached the circular vault door. It was trial and error trying to use the rush vigor to hit the lady and pump close range shots with the ammo I had.

I just finished the game on hard and am in complete awe of the total experience. It definitely does what a game should and keep escalating all the way to the end. There were a few niggles, such as those outlined above with a couple of the later boss fights but it's easily going down as one of my favourite stories of the generation and one of my favourite games of the generation. I didn't agree with EvilLore when he said that it shouldn't be a shooter, but it's definitely a worthy pinnacle of the current generation in terms of guided single player experiences.
Game took approx 12 hours on hard.

Okay wtf is up with the lack of carbines. I dropped mine and now I feel like I'm stuck with this stupid ass machine gun until the end of the game
Okay. Looks like it's time to play an hour or so tonight, and finish it off after work tomorrow.

Fully upgraded machine gun is the best!

I thought the machine gun was lacklustre, and upgraded my carbine to hell.
I don't know if the game does this on purpose but I found a load of carbines and not so many machine guns. The machine gun with the 70 round magazine is unbeatable easily hammer anything, couple it with the sniper rifle and you are set.
I thought the machine gun was lacklustre, and upgraded my carbine to hell.
I upgraded both of these and carried them around pretty much everywhere. The upgraded machine gun was pretty strong and accurate in short bursts, although not as good as the carbine.
Ammo for both got got scarce in places - places where there wasn't really a way for me to upgrade the weapons I did have ammo for, despite having lots of cash. Next play through - upgrade shotgun early.
