Ok who ordered the lemon juice and salt mix? Oh, you sir? Fantastic let me just apply this to your eyeballs as we're about to talk about Lady bloody Comstock.

This spirit-soul-sucker formed the backbone of the true low point of Bioshock Infinite, presenting a challenge that felt like it was 90% unfair and 10% "un-fun". Being dragged from her eternal rest Lady Comstock attacks Booker and Elizabeth with righteous fury, summoning leagues of the undead to battle alongside her.

Now on paper, this sounds like it could be pretty fun right? Acting like a Ghostbuster with violent vigours as your proton packs? Sign me up! However, that joy died in the throat of players when it came to actually trying to put this spirit to rest.

For a starter, she's an absolute bullet sponge, which when you think about it kinda makes sense because have you ever tried shooting a ghost? probably not going to work well.

Secondly, this causes you to run out of ammo fast meaning you'll be salvaging and sobbing as you wait for Elizabeth to throw you a clip or two. and finally, you have to face off against Lady Comstock THREE TIMES, making her a chore of a boss battle that you just want to end.

Ghost f**k yourself.
