I contacted Irrational Games on twitter suggesting they implement a lean system using the left and right dpad buttons. They actually replied saying that they would look into it!

I also revived an old thread about adding a lean function over on the Irrational Forums. Somewhere in that thread I posted a video of an early build of the first Bioshock where you could actually lean which I thought was very interesting. Odd that they would eventually drop it.

leaning would make the combat segments more manageable and less frustrating. As they are now, it's difficult to afford physically walking out in the open due to the unreliability of health being available.

Not odd at all. Bioshock-era Irrational focuses squarely on the mass market. Gotta keep everything fast and simple.

I'm afraid to buy this after the last two. The second one may have been better than the first, but I wouldn't know, seeing as it was so buggy that it consistently crashed on my system after the fifth or sixth level (even after patches), and tech support was distinctly unhelpful - nothing worked even after trying every single suggestion on the net, and 2k was unresponsive. Luckily, I got the game for very cheap. What I did manage to play still had the same gameplay issues of the first. I definitely don't want to blow $60 if there's any chance of that happening again.

I just beat it today and I have to say the game has one of the best epilogues I've seen in quite a while.

tip about the shield ( or rather note to myself ). the moment you aquire it, it gets explained how it works by the lovely luteces (which will go down in my gaming history):
electro-magnetic REPULSIVE field. Which means it deflects bullets but NOT melee attacks - of which there are some pretty hard ones in that game.
A few times I was confused how I was loosing health although my shield never got broken....should have paid more attention.
I am replaying it now in 1999 mode and I just restart the checkpoint, gotta save those dollars for my vigor-upgrades !!!!!
And boy, my eyes are just bleeding from all that beauty and excellence in design. Even though the combat fatigue sets in sooner than in playthrough1 I-just-can't-stop-advancing.
2nd tip: vigors have combos, making them actually do good damage.
1st playthrough I was confused how sometimes vigors just obliterate foes and other times they seem to do nothing without pumping clip after clip into the enemy.
I won't post the combinations but I heard from a friend that if you have achievement pop-ups turned on (which I did not, I turned everything off) it points out when you perform one.

So, equipment is randomized like Bone Charms from Dishonored. Didn't realize that.
