On which difficulty? I don't think there's any need for the 'right' combination on normal, anything will do.

Playing on Hard?

I'm glad someone else pointed that out. My board looks the same - FYI. I was thinking maybe it was a hint on where to go during the lighthouse sequence originally.

I think normal. Wanted to replay again on hard.

Yeah, I think (up to the point I'm playing) has avoided the problem of the first two BioShock games where you become too powerful and can mow anything and everything down.
Loving combing my vigors. Yesterday I found using Undertow to pull enemies into traps was awesome (Undertow is so much fun, by the way). Today it's using Bucking Bronco and, say, Shock Jockey or Devil's Kiss.

Don't feel too proud of yourself, normal is a cakewalk.
Ok so I'm finally to the giant ass fight on
. I don't think I can do this on Hard. Once the
everything goes to hell. I'm guessing I'm like at the very end of the game though so I'm trying to push through.

Got a question: Does anybody know what Tesla coils do? I can't figure it out.
One thing I like about the combat spaces in this game is that, afterwards, there's a whole bunch of stuff I discover that I didn't notice while I was fighting. Makes me excited for my second run on 1999 mode. That fight in the
was intense.
A good problem I have with this game is that I want to use so many of the weapons that I have a very hard time deciding which to go with. I want to use them all!

I think they sort of act as turrets, though with slightly less range it seems and with electricity bolts instead of bullets or rockets.
They basically stunlock anything that comes near one with continuous electricity. They were pretty useful in a few battles for me.
Send Songbird to take down one zeppelin while you fly up on the skyline and land on the other yourself, where you can go inside and destroy the engine with your skyhook exactly like you do earlier in the game. Then jump back out and fly down to the airship deck like a boss as Elizabeth swoons.

Ah thanks.

Finally at the end. I sure hope you guys are right about this ending, this thing jumped all of Sea World in the last couple hours. It's so intriguing but such a mess and I think really suffers from First Idea Syndrome. Overall though, I've really enjoyed myself a lot.

I thought the same thing for the final 2-3 hours, but the ending really fleshes a lot of that out.
Yeah, some of of those suckers are hidden like no other I guess. I felt like I explored every square inch of the game and yet I missed 10 Voxophones and a few Kinetoscopes =[
About to hit the you-know-who boss on 1999. Thus far the game has been a breeze compared to my first runthrough on hard. Love playing through this a second time.
The only achievements I'm having problems with are the skyline ones. I still don't know what a skyline execution is
When you are on a skyline and fly by an enemy who is also on a skyline you get a button prompt to knock them off. But are you sure you're not talking about skyHOOK executions? There's an achievement for that, not the skyLINE executions, and to do that you HOLD DOWN the melee button on a near dead enemy. They will get a little skull icon near their healthbar when you are in range and they are sufficiently wounded.
There's also an achievement for doing skyline strikes, which is where you target an enemy from the skyline giving you a button prompt, leap off and hit them.

Didn't expect to be thrown into another
Took me a while to get a hang of that combat space, but once I was I was rolling on enemies. Defeated that HM in one go!
HM fight so quickly after you encountered the Songbird very briefly.

So, the baseball. I assume that's a meaningless choice?
The couple will
thanks you and rewards you a gear later on if you choose to throw it at the announcer guy.

It's a variable.
I wouldnt say that.

They do? I don't remember
them giving me a gear, I only remember them saying thanks
also yes, obviously when I say meaningless I mean besides not being a dick
Why did you?
There's a piece of gear on the table next to them.
If you choose to throw the ball at them instead of the announcer then one of Fink's men will be outside of that very same hallway with a piece of gear for you, so it makes no difference what you do from a gameplay perspective.
End spoilers:
It's relevantly meaningless in a story sense, as are all the "choices" in the game, as they illustrate different variables that lead to the same outcome. Hence needing to go back to root of the problem to make a real change.

Oh right, I remember now, I just picked that up as they were talking, lol.
This game is awesome. Getting used to the combat- pistol and shotgun seems pretty effective so far, with

Got my platinum for the game. 1999 mode wasn't really too bad at all other than a couple parts
now I gotta find something to play until Last of Us comes out. *Sigh*
Final form of Lady Comstock and the Handyman battle before you kill Fitzroy,
So she remembers where she came from! *shakes fist in the air*
My friend is going to be lending me the PS3 version for the week.
As someone who has never played a BioShock before, will I be able to play and understand this game fine?
I planned on doing a series playthrough in a few years when I have built a PC, but hearing all the good things about the game, I can't pass up the opportunity to play this while it's still fresh.

Great.
Another question - about how long is the game on an easy/medium playthrough? I'll only have it for 4-5 days so I want to budget my time accordingly

I chose the cage too.
If you look for stuff around 15 hours on Normal. If you are busting through on Easy (don't play easy) you could do it in 8.

I finally after a dozen deaths got past the turret. Now, I'm kinda stuck. I'm inside the building where the police are searching, and after barely fending off the dozens of soldiers, I get killed by the fireman. Question: how in the hell am I supposed to kill this guy?
Use fire or electricity on the reanimated corpses so it burns the body away and they can't be reanimated again. Also a fully upgraded charge is supposed to be great for that fight.
Can someone give me some advice on some of these achievements I have left? I've beaten the game on normal already. I'm about to start 1999 mode. Here are the achievements I have left:
Would I be doing myself a disservice trying to go for all these achievements in my 1999 playthrough? Would I be avoiding a lot of needless grief if I just went for them using chapter select before/after I finish 1999?

Alright, I should be able to manage that. Thanks.
