I'd say there's only a few fights at the back half of the game that require a specific pattern.
most notably the final battle on the airship, and to a lesser extent, the Siren fights

Not something you need to worry about in Infinite. There is one section in the game you could classify as creepy and it's more tame than any of the games you mentioned. It's only about 10-15 minutes long anyway. Ends in a jump scare.
The game is more wide open than the original which removes a lot of the tension.

No, much later in the game then that.

The Winter-Shield gear is a fucking godsend in 1999 mode.

POV in this game makes me feel like I'm super short. Were those PA announcements joking or is Booker really like 4'9" lol
Not sure if this has been posted, but regarding Songbird's
. I'm guessing that they're simply
.
alleged appearance during BioShock during the scene with the guy and the piano... Well, I'm just going through my first play through and I heard Songbird (or at least the exact same sound effect) in the Tea Garden.
recycling the sound effect and it's nothing more :/
really? i rarely used it. not a big fan of hopping off and on those Skyhooks.

Obviously. I don't get how this "theory" is a theory at all.
Welcome to the other side! I finished it last night around 2AM and have been mulling over the ending (and story as a whole) ever since. This one is definitely going to stick with me, one of the best stories I've experienced in a video game in quite some time.

Oh, I never got tired of dropping down on guys with a skyline-strike. Any excuse to use those things (the skylines) even more was fantastic.
Any other advice on load-outs, weapon/vigor upgrade paths? Just got to

My game is starting up in a Twilight Zone-esque window mode on PC. It's not completely windowed, but not completely fullscreen either. A variation of the two. The taskbar is not visible and the right side is fine, but the top and left side are in windowed mode. It didn't usually do this, only started a few days ago. Before that it was fine.

hmmm... 10 hrs in... still not really getting combat. Having a hard time against those cyborg bald guys... :/
And things tend to love being 'immune' to vigors
Been mostly using force lift and lightning, shotgun and sniper, but mostly with what ammo I can find.
And is it just me, or do enemies sometimes monster closet spawn? I'm pretty sure guys attacked me from behind, where they shouldn't be able to.

Shawn combo. Though I replaced one of the perks in it with Brittle Skinned. Absolutely wrecked shit on my 1999 playthrough.

I love that that's its name now! Sounds good. I just have to find a few gear pick-up points and reload a few times, make sure I'm getting the items I'll need.

How do you get the eight vigors achievement?

Do you mean the combo one or just the one for getting all eight vigors? EDIT: I guess it's for using all eight of them, not just collecting all of them.

Finished my 1999 run. Last battle only took me two tries. All about managing your best resource.
1999 mode allowed me to enjoy the combat a lot more than on my first go through. Performance can sure drop on the 360 though, which is a shame especially considering the game took so long to come out.

I hate that depressing feeling of knowing i will never produce anything that gave me half the thoughts, emotions, or thrills i just experienced after finish some sort of entertainment, be it a book movie or game in this case.

1999 mode update. UGH. That group of Vox outside of
is INCREDIBLY difficult. It's just that one section that I feel like is broken/unbalanced, even on other playthroughs.

So what are the big changes in 1999 mode? I'm about half-way through my 1999 playthrough and it doesn't seem perceptibly different than hard. I get that running out of money means you go back a checkpoint instead of revive, and that you can't use nav arrows, but I didn't have those in my hard playthrough either.

Recommended setup for tackling 1999 mode?
No consequences whatsoever.
As for your position, just a teensy bit more and you're done!
I accidentallyI hope there wont be severe consequences for doing it (?)pissed off the hungry mob kicking the vending machine in the slums and had to kill them.

This game is amazing!

Hand Cannon (headshots kill all standard enemies in one shot, and it does insane damage against the big boys) and a knock back weapon of your choice (shotty, volly gun, etc) will carry you through the end of the game pretty easily. Level shields and salts exclusively, as your health bar is worthless. Make good use of return to sender and possession for an easy time against standard foes, and use undertow to make the big boys entirely trivial. Really all the game's difficulty stems from spawning enemies behind you to catch you off guard and spamming medium-long range hitscan weapon wielding enemies to chip you out. The former is pretty much negated on a second run, and the latter can be alleviated via exclusive leveling of shields and heavy use of return to sender. Early-mid game you're going to have to get a bit creative with some of your plasmids to avoid the hitscan chip damage, but really if you know the spawns the game is incredibly easy even on '99 mode.
can you even progress without triggering the next enemy spawn in that area by picking it up, is my question. i believe there are gates blocking progress, but i may be misremembering.
but more than it being purchasable, i know other vigor bottles are likely laying around somewhere.
idk.

Return to Sender eh? Hmmmm. Never used it on my Normal playthrough.
So, handcannon and shotgun. When is the earliest you can snag a handcannon? It's going to be a while before it shows up, IIRC.
Hell, you can even sequence-break the part where you need the Possession vigor on the fair earlier (meaning you can skip getting Possession completely there) and yet the game compensates for this by allowing you to buy Possession later. Pretty awesome.
nice. i'm gonna have to try that in the fair next time.
Return to sender is the best vigor in the game, really. It absorbs all incoming damage for a few seconds on press, and on hold absorbs all incoming damage until you let go, then lets you toss the damage back in the form of a giant grenade back to the enemy. On normal where you can essentially never die unless you try to, it's usage isn't that warranted but on '99 where all the hitscan chip can kill you pretty fast in conjunction with the big boys hurling projectiles it's a godsend that can mean the difference between being out a couple hundred bones and ending the fight virtually unscathed.
When the game gives it to you, akaik. I subsidised my shotgun with the carbine until I got it on my first run, but upon playing the pc version (where I got a free season pass due to gmg shenanigans) and getting a free damage upgraded pistol to start the game I've noticed that it makes a pretty great little substitute until I can get the hand-cannon again.
Really though, the hand-cannon is the best all around gun in the game due to its sheer versatility. It's range is as far as you can shoot it, and its damage output is out of this world. I would also recommend grabbing the volly gun, too. The game gives you a surprising amount of ammo for it considering it's utility as a high-damage weapon, and it can seriously end entire fights with a couple rounds if you can corner some fools with it.
Just curious, but what do you mean by that?

Speaking of voice acting, fans of Persona4 should find it pretty hard to feel immersed with Booker. Can't help but to imagine Kanji every time he opens his mouth :\\\\\\\\\
