First Season Pass I have ever purchased. Thanks
Hoping there's DLC that expands on the Luteces a bit.
Also, a really underrated area (or at least, an area not talked about enough) is Fink's place with the golden statues of himself:
I plan to go and take some shots of that area myself, focusing on the room with the diorama of the zeppelin whirling around, and the tall arched factory windows.
More amazing panoramas from Steam community -- same cluster of buildings, but different angles and different times of day:

Link to them, please?Neiteio go into the 2013 High-Res PC screens and look at Neoenigmas shots. They are breathtaking.

Well, it -is- the amusement park district!There are no less than 11 ferris wheels in the first picture.
I took it to be more symbolic than anything. Kind of a "at that moment, Booker remembered he was drowned at his baptism" thing. Elizabeth/Anna would need to go to every branch where Booker attended his baptism, so they had to do a lot of drowning.

Absolutely nothing. Which is the point
It doesn't change anything. I think it's presented in the same way as the coin flip, showing that constants and variables, undoubtedly, lead to the same end.
Well, that could've been handled better, then. Almost everyone I've talked to wonders what it changed, and no one realised that it didn't change anything and "that was the point".
The coin flip works because the result (being heads) is immediate. With the raffle prize choice having a minor impact later in the game with a similar mode of decision making, one would expect the brooch choice to be the same.
Bioshock takes place in 1959 or later (some time after the New Years' 1958 (that is December 31, 1958) riots)
Hmm ... I really am still hesitant on it. When can we expect it all?
Three different self contained stories, an hour to two each doesn't seem like something I can really get immersed into and has the proper narrative/gameplay beats to make it worthwhile experience. Of course I have no idea if its self contained or not, if it will be released episodically like a shpw ala The Walking Dead or if Levine even is working on it and whether or not it feels forced by 2K or simply fillery.
I dunno. Just a little pessimistic here.
Wow, I've been going through these the last five minutes. Amazing stuff. :OJust start on this page and go back:

Actually it takes place in 1960
Did the final fight where you control the Songbird kind of peter out for anyone else? It started out with all kinds of Zeppelins and landing craft flying around and the Songbird wrecking shit. But then at the end of it there were just a few guys on the deck coming up from below a few at a time. And then it was over (and Elizabeth got stuck on the Skyline and I had to restart the checkpoint to get her to go the bow).

P.S. Who's going to be our Elizabeth =(
Yeah you're correct. I just meant it was some time later than 1959.
Saw this gif on Reddit, it's pretty cool (and game me a Wizard of Oz vibe):
I like it was taken in a more subtle approach, than HERE GUYZ LOOK WHAT WE ARE DOIN!!!!
You actually had to think, for once. An that's what make Bioshock Infinite narrative so great. You actually have to think and infer rather than everything having to be laid out for you in a nice little pile.
There's a difference between being subtle and constructing sequences in such a way that they can be misleading.
In case anyone was wondering where the intro baptism scene came from

How was it misleading though?
As I explained, it's a very similar style of choice as the raffle target selection - left or right, one or the other, with the effect of that choice manifesting itself later on in the game in some way. It's pretty clear what happens with the raffle choice, so anyone would naturally expect the brooch choice to act the same. There's no indication that it's not, so why wouldn't it? That's where it's misleading.
It was pointed out elsewhere that the brooch choice is closer to the coin flip in that it's meant to highlight the futility of choices, but it doesn't work, because the result of the coin flip is immediate and clearly makes its point in a way the brooch choice doesn't. Plus, there IS no choice to make with the coin flip - Booker always chooses tails and the result is always heads, just make that point even clearer.
Has this been discussed
-Who was the dead body in the lighthouse?
-Why did the twins bring Booker back at all?
-The twins only notice the scar on his hand once they pull him through, there was no way they had time to create a whole campaign around "look for the false shepherds scar."
What happens during the raffle scene if you decide to throw the ball at the couple?
1. The lighthouse keeper, who was killed by the Luteces since he was an obstacle that Booker would have to face. Also, got the message across to Booker that the people he was dealing with meant business.
2. They brought back Booker for redemption. The whole game is about Redemption, and in this case the Luteces felt awful for what they did to booker, and so wanted to correct it.
3. Don't know what your try to ask with the 3rd question.
EDIT: Also who was the arch angel that comes to Comstock/Booker? Are we to assume it was a Comstock from another universe or him just using the machine?
People were saying pages ago that it was Old Elizabeth
@2 it doesnt seem like the Luteces give a shit about what is going on around them...they were like the Cheshire cat, poking and prodding to see what happens
@3 How did everyone know to look for Booker's scar and have posters up and everything for it, if the even the Luteces didnt know about it until he was pulled through

One more: Real vs. Game
A ton of this game was reminiscent of other media. I was thinking of putting together some comparison images. For example: almost all of the posters are based on real WW1 propaganda, as is much of the racist caricatures.
I think it will be shocking how much of what we saw wasn't too disimilar from what actually occurred around 1900.
Once quick example: That Fink poster
