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

[QUOTE=superstepa;40141055][sp]So if you are the booker from the "screw baptism" timeline wouldn't comstock be a different booker?[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Yes but all the timelines converge at the point of baptism so you're killing every possible comstock by killing the booker who accepts it at that point[/sp]

[QUOTE=Winters;40141061][sp]Yes but all the timelines converge at the point of baptism so you're killing every possible comstock by killing the booker who accepts it at that point[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp] Yes but why are you playing as that booker, that would be a separate character wouldnt it?[/sp]

-nevermind got it

[QUOTE=Hobo4President;40140941]This. The gameplay felt like a chore to me, something I had to put up with to get to more of the story and find the audio logs.[/QUOTE] I really liked the gameplay, if you make full use of the enviroment and zip around on the skylines and such, it's both fun and effective. Setting crows on a group of enemies, hurtling towards them on a rail, then leaping on one and blowing the rest away with a shotgun never got old for me.

[QUOTE=Winters;40141042]What?[/QUOTE] [sp]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_paradox[/sp]

[url]http://puu.sh/2sYZg/1e37de7c7b[/url] Found one[sp]in the area before you board.[/sp] Yay.

[QUOTE=Winters;40139499][sp]Stolen from Rapture[/sp][/QUOTE] So does this mean [sp] they'd end up looking all spliced up? Or do you think the people in Infinite changed something about that to prevent it? But then again they weren't really exposed to it for too long, right? [/sp]

I think it would have been cool to start to see [sp] objects disappear through tears the same way Eizabeth pull objects into her timeline, as a way of showing these other timelines have their own Booker and Elizabeth.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Archimedes;40140993]My thoughts on the vigors and salts; [sp]It could be argued that vigors were only just entering the stage of public consumption and use on a wider scale, considering the city wide event (can't remember what it was though, it's late where I am) that was going on at the time of Bookers arrival. It'd make sense to have the fair as a sort of staging ground for people to try out the free samples, with a ton of salt dispensing vending machines conveniently set up for people to spend money on after picking their poison. The shock jock generators also just seemed to have been coming into effect too in select areas, sort of supporting the idea that this was a new thing. Going off that though, the Order of the Crow blokes and those fire shooting guys seemed to have been further along in their vigor use, but considering the fact that the order guys seemed to have a higher and more seedy place in the social hierarchy I'd imagine they'd get some early access, especially to a vigor that thematically matched their group. Along with that the fire guys seemed to have a part in either the military or police force, so providing a few of your anti-civil disobedience goons and soldiers with the ability to shoot fire seems like a good idea on paper. As for the aspect of mental instability, both parties seemed pretty off kilter. Not as much as the splicers but you could argue that could be either due to the difference in consumption of plasmids and vigor's (injecting and ingesting respectively) or the fact that not as much time and abuse has passed. That's just my take anyway, can't deny salts and vigors were pretty under-explained in the grand scheme of things[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]I'd like to see a DLC that shows an alternative timeline in which Vigor's become widespread throughout Columbia and basically turns it into another rapture (nearly everybody is fucking insane), while comstock attempts to regain control or really, any DLC explaining vigors a bit better would be nice[/sp]

[QUOTE=Moustacheman;40141357]I think vigors were explained as [sp] being stolen from Tenenbaum's lab in Rapture, and that Fink had them redone to be somewhat safer.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]They were, but the side-effects and the change of formula wasn't really explained, it'd be interesting to find out if it makes people go insane like plasmids did[/sp]

One thing I still don't quite understand: [sp]If a person merges with themself if they enter a universe with another of the themselves alive in it, how come Booker didn't assimilate Comstock's memories just by being in Columbia?[/sp]

100% done with the game/achievements. What's there to do now?

All in all I'd like the game much more if it stayed true to the whole racism/religion critique.

[QUOTE=l l;40141598]100% done with the game/achievements. What's there to do now?[/QUOTE] Bicker about space-time continuum

I think I found the [url=http://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/de-lutece.html?aid=307415]Hotel[/url] [sp]Elizabeth and Booker would've stayed at in Paris.[/sp] :v:

[quote=Killuah][sp] Also why do the dead "remember being dead" when in fact it's Booker and Elizabeth changing dimensions? [/sp][/quote] [sp]Totally posturing on my part, but I believe that travelling a tear isn't a physical leap so much as a metaphysical one. That is to say, the matter of the world is moved around by travelling through a tear but it is still the same matter. I feel like I'm grasping at straws here but it's better than no explanation.[/sp] [sp]Watching Steins;gate atm probably doesnt help[/sp]

[QUOTE=QueenSasha24;40142061]I think I found the [url=http://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/de-lutece.html?aid=307415]Hotel[/url] [sp]Elizabeth and Booker would've stayed at in Paris.[/sp] :v:[/QUOTE] So now we know in our [sp]universe the Lutece's open up a hotel.[/sp] [editline]3rd April 2013[/editline] Also with the Vigors [sp]I'm guessing that when Fink or the Lutece's looked through a tear and saw them they probably also saw the terrible side effects so redesigned them to be less crazy-inducing.[/sp]

[sp]The crazy inducing of the plasmids came from stem cells running wild in the brain, it's explained in BS 1, I am playing it right now. I don't see how they could remove that without removing the effect of the plasmids all together. But it's fiction so I'm sure it can be explained. Which brings us to one thing: Fink has to harvest stem cells somehow since they don't have the slugs in Columbia. DLC please: "Finks Wonderful Birth Clinic and Orphanage" [/sp]

I think one of the things I liked most about Columbia was that, whilst Rapture was pretty much entirely fallen by the time you got there, Columbia in [sp]DeWitt's timeline atleast[/sp] is actually fairly... working. Like, people are actually living their lives there happily for a large part.

[QUOTE=Killuah;40142266][sp]DLC please: "Finks Wonderful Birth Clinic and Orphanage"[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]"Now I know some of you might think using the bodies of children to produce Fink Vigors might be a bit morally questionable, but think it through! If we DON'T use them they'll just be wasted! And Jeremiah Fink is not a man of waste, no sir!"[/sp]

[sp]interesting that when booker's wife give birth to their child, she died. in some way same thing happens to comstock, when Anna/Elizabeth is brought to his universe lady Comstock was killed later. Feels like its a constant to "Bookers" life, that his wife will die when their child is born[/sp]
