Bioshock Infinite
- Thread starter Falstaff
- Start date
I'm guessing spoilers for this are pointless now so anyways. For ghost fights I used upgraded crows to stun and upgraded damage hand cannon to the face. Went down with no issues for me. In the bank I think it took a few reps of that but I just swapped to carbine and 1 shot ghosts while she moved to a different summon spot. Not at that point yet on 1999 though so maybe it changes? Can't see why it would though. Handymen(?) gave me more of an issue. Infinite leap distance motherfuckers. Oh I also had the +50% crit dmg gear. Which I am missing very much on 1999. Sup most trash humanoid guys needing two carbine shots to the dome.
Why would they be pointless now? the game's only been out 1 week, many people are not quite through it yet, especially if they didn't get it on release day and/or like to take their time and explore each area.

Talking about specific boss fights I wouldn't consider much of a spoiler. Talking about the plot (unspoilered) isn't something I'd be too excited about given that the game is still very young by most people's standards.
I just assumed he was referring to spoilering boss strats.
Probably because there were already multiple posts about a "ghost fight" that were more detailed than mine.

yeah, after almost an entire page of all spoiler tags I knew that it wasn't worth it to keep reading so I stopped until I beat the game.

There's been a few people who've popped in to see whether the game is worth the full price of admission or not. I know there probably aren'ttoomany people that fall into that category, but I think the game is good enough that it deserves a little more of a grace period before the spoiler tags are dropped.
On 1999 the ghost fights were easily the hardest encounters in the game for me. The first encounter actually made me reload a couple times because I wasted so much money dying and of course the ghost heals every time you die too so I was fighting an even more uphill battle with fewer bullets/health/salt. When I did finally beat it it was because I used cover, one of the phased in gatling guns, long range attacks, and devil's kiss traps. The bank was significantly easier, but only because of the aforementioned cheesyness of being able to hide in the vault and the stuff wouldn't chase you inside.
The last time you encounter the ghost I killed it without even realizing it. I guess the phased in mosquito kept blowing up the bombs or something. I was hiding like a bitch behind some railing and the scene progressed rofl.

I've been checking the thread once a day or so, skimming it as fast as I could just to get people's impressions without getting spoilers. I'm too old to follow releases' schedules anymore. I actually appreciated the spoilers over the last page or so a lot. Allowed me to dismiss most of it until I finally fired it up over the week end.
---------------------------------------------
I got a question too, and like I said I only skimmed the thread.. Do enemy loots fade? I feel like I often kill a lot more guys than I find corpses for. I do realize that some corpses turn into small chests/boxes (I assume because the textures of the boxes are less demanding). Oftentimes though I get neither corpses or chests. I tend to back pedal a lot. And as quickly as a fat hooker backing away from the Joy Ride trucker. So not that quickly. Anyway - when I get back to fight, corpses and boxes seem to be gone. I never actually "zone out" though.
So does loot fade over time? Or is it based on distance? Or am I plain wrong?

Drawing a corpse takes up visual memory which is needed for other things. Lockboxes are comparatively cheap.

I think I'm almost done with the game. I've really tried looking for everything... I have, I think, gotten about 50 or so of the Voxophones. Where the hell can the other ones be, ugh.
Great game....
Died several times on the first ghost fight in the graveyard. After those, the guys with the giant masks on that were holograms at first were a pita
Great game....

The dudes with the massive horns on their heads have a light that shows where they're looking, avoid the light and the ghosts don't aggro, you've gotta sneak around like a gay teenager living at his conservative parents home.
