As JetBlackPanda said: carry on, it hasn't been spoiled too much.
I still don't really know what I'm doing with vigors and such, so I just
tossed Devil's Kiss out from my hiding place in the memorial several times and shot her a bit.
This is on 1999 so I literally cant afford to fuck around.

I made a video review of the game if anyone would like to check it out, I tried not to have any spoilers in it as far as story goes but there may be some related to environments in the footage

I am not slow! I am very busy and all the other things!
Do you have charge aid? If so, you really shouldn't have any trouble. I had charge aid + burning halo + brittle skin and a shotty and took me about 20 seconds. However, I tried once before getting charge aid and that didn't work out so well. That upgrade is pretty essential.

guys since completing Infinite its all I can think about. I haven't felt this way about game for a VERY long time.
I hid in one of the rooms with health kits and used a sniper rifle. Took awhile, but it worked.
I have Charge Aid + the explosvie upgrade for it, electric punch, vampire kiss, blood to salt, and last man standing equipped. Now maybe I just approached it from the wrong angle, but it finished me off pretty quick.
Should I just totally rush in and give it a beatdown?
How do you hide in the crypt and pick it off if its health keeps regenerating? Do you just have to maintain a steady flow of gunfire so it doesnt have a chance to recharge?
This is 1999 btw

I beat the game last night. I really have zero ambition to ever play the game again, which sucks because I would love to experience the story again, like I did with The Sixth Sense, but I don't want to sit through what I consider boring gameplay.
Totally rush in! Hold charge, release, melee or shotty a couple of times. Then repeat immediately when she's further away again. Ignore all the other enemies of course. I only had to charge her 3 or 4 times.
Ok sounds good. I will do this!
Thanks very much, this is just getting underway now. Live call in show.BioShock Infinite And The Future Of Gaming (NPR's On Point Radio - Today at 11:00 AM EST)

The host asked Ken if he feels like you have to shoot things for it to be a videogame.
his response.
there are plenty of games that aren't violent, even without guns this story is violent.

You can most certainly cheese the first one. It's the third one that's challenging. And honestly the last battle is tougher than any of those three battles.
Hook up to the balcony above you when you first enter, grab the sniper rifle and facing the turrets, hook over to the small balcony to the left. Here you can hide behind debris piled up and take out each turret with the rifle. Just need to time your shots so you dont get pummelled.

Yeah the last time I can remember having that feel from a good game is when I beat Red Dead 3 years ago

Is that interview with Ken Levine finished airing? Does it have spoilers?

Bought the digital PS3 version even when I have a terrible backlog, dunno why. Guess I just wanted to support a game that seems to do it's own thing and not to forget very good reviews.
Also apparently it is fairly short game so that is all good. I'll try to play few hours every night to burn through it fairly fast. Got some ''exclusive gear'' from PS+ too, dunno what those are about.

Just finished it, damn that ending blew my mind.
I pretty much loved everything about it. You can argue it's basically Bioshock with a different setting with the novelty of having an AI companion like HL2's Alyx but it's the execution that puts it above most games released this gen.
Art direction is second to none, story and characters are great, soundtrack is heavenly and personally I thought the gameplay was fantastic. Riding a skyline at breakneck speed while giving orders to Elizabeth and going crazy with your weapons and vigors can be intense as hell.
I wouldn't go as far as calling it game of the generation like some people, I'd like to save that title for a game that introduced groundbreaking gameplay mechanics like Portal or Demon's Souls but it's up there.
At the end of the day all that matters is that this is a masterpiece and the kind of experience only a videogame can provide.
Congratulations to Ken Levine and company. Can't wait to see what they do next, the bar has been raised.

I got a curious e-mail today from my usual and trusty retailer...
so they prefer selling physical games instead of digital downloads, no big deal, but in fact the rewards are three Steam digital downloads :lol !!!!! no complaining of course, I know pre-ordering would get you the original Bioshock, I didn't pre-order wasn't expecting any gift and got two games and some worthy DLC instead, ok...

What's the deal with the save glitch? I just apparently lost 90 minutes of game time and got thrown back several levels despite many "autosaves." Is there a workaround? Playing on 360.
Sorry of this has been asked before!

I see a lot of people having problem with this. When you shut the game off, do you check the last autosave?
I'm on 360 too. Here's what I've been doing: Whenever I come across an autosave I need to stop at, I hit start, go to "Exit to Main Menu." The game then tells me when my last autosave was. Before I hit okay to go back to the main menu, I check what the last autosave was. If it's right (and it has been so far), I hit "A" and go to the main menu. Then I turn the console off.
yeah thanks that was a rather unexpected gift and really valuable, but from the point of view of a collector what I appreciate the most is the reversible cover, amazing compared to the generic standard box art. Worth buying the retail edition.
as seen a thousand times...

No real spoilers that I heard.
That's no glitch, just awful design. Just make sure you try to exit and compare the time it lists to what time it is, it has auto saved on me and not actually counted.

Phew, managed to finish the game before my trip. Can't say the ending blew my mind like so many of you but it certainly was satisfying and original which is more than I can say for most games. Great way to cap the experience and I'm glad I played this, very solid game. I understood everything so don't feel the need to consult the spoiler thread but actually there is one aspect that would be fun to discuss now that I think about it. Maybe I will
Oh man, just saw the vigor combo post...That would have been a blast setting enemies on fire while they are suspended in the air from bronco... The game was so damn easy I just didn't bother with vigors much at all. If I knew how easy Normal was going to be, I'd have just done Hard from the get-go. I played on Normal because I originally planned on blowing through this game because I have too much to play but then it sucked me in like the first game did and I found myself soaking it all in and searching every nook and cranny for loot and upgrades.

Weird; I was playing on 1999 and her health didn't regenerate at all over the 10 minutes or so it took to kill her. I did have to use the hand cannon at the end when I ran out of sniper bullets, though.
To be more specific, I didn't hide in the room with the coffin, I hid in the room off to the side with the health kits.

Thanks for the tips about saving. I think this is a glitch though. In my case the game dumped me back about 4 areas. As I was replaying those sections I saw the autosaves happening, but they failed to register. I'm in mild suspense to see if my new progress has been saved correctly.
Normally I wouldn't really mind replaying parts of a game I enjoy, But it was painful to do all the money and item collection again. Ug.

True, but the checkpoints felt way too far apart for me. Kind of annoying.
Hell, forget checkpoints, just gimme dat quicksave.
Not sure why so many people are having this issue. I played on 360 and never had a problem. The longest I think it going for me was about 20 minutes without an auto save (which mind you I think is still excessive). I spent plenty of time exploring so it's not like I was just blowing through the game either. People saying they went hours must be exaggerating or maybe were just staying in the same area not doing much of anything. I just don't see how people are losing hours of play time.
Well I think he's saying it's a glitch. He's seeing autosaves happening in the areas he has to replay, but they didn't catch correctly or something the first time through.
Ok maybe Im mistaken and it doesnt regenerate. If thats the case, then awesome.
I don't think it regens. Only if you die.
You know, it probably just felt that way the first time because it took so fucking long. lol.

Gonna ask this thread again- how close am I to the end of the game? I think I'm close to the end and if that's the case I'll probably hold off on finishing it until later tonight when I have some uninterrupted free time so I don't have to rush.
That's my biggest issue with the game so far, especially if you're like me and trying to scrounge around every corner getting supplies and junk. You spend a bunch of time exploring and collecting things only to quit and not realize that you just lost a bunch of progress.
I really do not understand why so many recent games have gone to just autosaves and checkpoints, getting rid of manual save slots or quicksaves. Why?
Elizabeth was just taken by the Songbird and I'm just walking into Comstock House.

You have another 2, maybe 3 hours
