BioShock Infinite thread VII: I appreciate a lady, who appreciates value! - Games

I was up all night thinking of the plot of this game and trying to make heads or tails. Bravo, Irrational Games, this is the first game to make me think about the plot in addition to the gameplay. Murder of Crows best vigor.

[QUOTE=SystemGS;40138535]One thing that I was wondering about was the [sp]origins of the Handymen? It says in one part of the game that they were pacifists, I know that, so were they "repurposed" to be Handymen to serve Columbia? Whenever you fight one they complain that they don't want to do this and that their heads hurt, so it lead me to believe that they were tortured and grafted into the Handymen suits to serve Columbia when their values didn't fit with Comstock's vision. It's just one of those interesting little pieces of the game's worldbuild that intrigued me.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]There's an audio log made by the wife of a handyman who mentions that before being put int the suit her husband was terminally ill with stomach cancer. There's also a bit of art I remember seeing... somewhere where they showcase a before and after photo, with the before being a man looking ill in bed and the after being a handyman. Life support by way of being an old timey cyborg, I guess.[/sp]

However, this procedure came with the price of having to live within a large and highly disproportional body"[/sp]

umm so can I ask a question is it physically possible to unlock "Heartbreaker" Or is that just a legend because I think in some alternate dimension it's possible but definitely not this one

[QUOTE=Dragoshi1;40138550] Murder of Crows best vigor.[/QUOTE] speaking of crows i needed one an excuse to post one of the murder of crows pictures [t]http://24.media.tumblr.com/cbedd17fd54d095984d30e9a1a003f22/tumblr_mkk6h6Dnlz1qjm1jzo1_500.png[/t]

[sp]You're right. They only appear almost at the end when you have to break Elizabeth out. I also kinda expected them to be sound sensitive so that you had to tip toe around them.[/sp]

The games usage of music is just excellent. My personal favourite has to be [sp] the soul cover of Fortunate Son during the Vox's Revolution.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Sardonus;40138692]umm so can I ask a question is it physically possible to unlock "Heartbreaker" Or is that just a legend because I think in some alternate dimension it's possible but definitely not this one[/QUOTE] The people at Roosterteeth did it (with about 4-5 tries I believe) and I'm pretty sure they used a controller; you just have to be patient, use the handcannon or sniper, and restart if the damage indicator isn't a "critical hit."

Woah, didn't notice this about the ending before. [sp]The door to Anna's room flips. When you give Anna to Lutece in the flashback, the hinges are on the right. When you open the door post-credits, the hinges are on the left.[/sp] Might just be an oversight, but you never know with this game.

I can't not hear Bastila whenever Rosalind speaks.

[QUOTE=Sharp_Shooter;40136321]So how are you getting some of those shots? Is there some kind of way to do the equivalent of noclip that I'm unaware of?[/QUOTE] You have to use Cheat Engine to do it, and it's a finicky thing. PM me if you want the table for it.

[QUOTE=DX_V;40138812]I can't not hear Bastila whenever Rosalind speaks.[/QUOTE] I [I]knew[/I] her voice was familiar.

so I'm shooting up a Handyman desperate to get the achivement lost all my carbine ammo, dash down the stairs Elizabeth retorts "I'VE FOUND AMMO!" tosses me shotgun ammo [I]elizabeth there an infinite amount of universes there is one where there was carbine ammo did you even FUCKING LOOK[/I] Doesn't matter cause the Handyman killed me. Goddamnit this is a stupid fucking achivement.

Undertow helps when trying to get Heartbreaker. Just use the charged version to pull them to you and it'll keep them in place for a few seconds. It gives you enough time to shoot and charge it up again.

[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;40138848]You have to use Cheat Engine to do it, and it's a finicky thing. PM me if you want the table for it.[/QUOTE] ??? You don't [I]have[/I] to cheat. I got it just by playing.

[QUOTE=Smashman;40138902]??? You don't [I]have[/I] to cheat. I got it just by playing.[/QUOTE] No no no, we're talking about using Flycam :v:

[QUOTE=Smashman;40138830]Did you enjoy it because of its odd quietude?[/QUOTE] It fits the theme of that part of the game very well.

Look up the history of the song, it fits even better then. [editline]2nd April 2013[/editline] Muh automerge

[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;40138908]No no no, we're talking about using Flycam :v:[/QUOTE] Oh, my apologies. I just scanned the quote and presumed it was the Heartbreaker discussion still.
