I'm going to start by stating the obvious: you should only read this if you've already finished BioShock Infinite, or if you don't mind having the plot hung in front of you in its birthday suit. If you want to experience it first, then bookmark this shizzle and come back when you have.
You're back? Good.
Another thing: if you haven't finished it, then why aren't you playing it right now? Go on, play it. Would you kindly go play it? Do you even row, bro? Do you?
Anyway, as the title helpfully suggests, there may be massive spoilers after this line break.
Hey Poor Player's James Davie Takes Us On A Bio-Shocking Deep Dive Into Irrational Games' Nautical Nightmare.
Gareth, Justin, and Michael at Skewed and Reviewed look at timely and topical entertainment news on their latest show including the latest video game movie and news of another in the works.
The movie was absolutely garbage !!!
BH needs to do better - since Halloween Ends - Exorcist , Freddy is Shyte - STOP IT !!!!
Dead Space recently received a popular remake that was faithful yet constructive, and the original BioShock is also deserving of this treatment.
No it doesn't need it. It was remastered in 60 fps last gen and still looks and plays great. Would be a waste of time, money and resources imo. It's games from 3 or 4 gens back that could use the remake treatment.
The games that need remaking are.
Resistance fall of man.
Motorstorm.
PS5 would produce something special.
There's been such an advancement in tech since the PS3 days. It would be awesome. DAY 1 BUY for me.
I would love this
Expand on the lore
Incorporate Bioshock Infinite and Bioshock 2 plot lines
Add room rooms or maybe even an extra area
Maybe new plasmids
Give Jack a personality and add voice acting, it worked for Isaac. Jack did speak at the start of the game so adding onto that and giving him convos between Atlas or Ryan would be great
Man could you imagine what bioshock would look like in ue5 with full raytracing, phwaaarrrhh.
Actually, the last part after the credits is not an open ending. it's actually quite clever and makes sense.
SPOILERS BELOW:
Since Booker kills himself at the moment of baptism, no versions of himself are born in the form of Cocmstock. Therefore Comstock ceases to exist, yet the Booker who chose not to be baptized still exists. This Booker does not lose Anna to Comstock (since he does not exist) and therefore Elizabeth never exists. Therefore the circle is broken, and the ending is indeed: a happy ending.
With the being said, that means that no Columbia will ever be made (since Cocmstock created it), meaning Andrew Ryan will not see how it failed. Therefore in all permutations of the leftover world, Rapture is still created.
Ken Levine is a genius. This game is absolute art.
I always thought of the ending as open, like Shrodinger's cat. I like your theory about Andrew Ryan though, it's really provocative.
Ken Levine and the team at irrational have done an absolutely fantastic job.
This game has had a bigger impact on my gaming experience than bioshock.
Memories plays a key role. You can't drown the Booker that already knows of the future because that alone would've already changed the future and eliminate everything. You had to be in control of a Booker being drowned with no knowledge of the future for that part to make any logical sense. That's a plot hole because the Booker we drowned let himself be drowned for no other purpose. Whereas the Booker we want would've been ignorant to the future events.
It would've made more sense to have a 3rd person perspective of Booker being drowned while another Booker looks onward to his other self where he notices himself disappearing like the other Elizabeths because the observing Booker now doesn't exist anymore. There had to be 2 Bookers' at that moment. Overall the huge downplay of memories really hurts the ending.
I love the story and game, there are some holes, but like kneon said, once interdimentional travel get's involved it's near impossible to not have any flaws.
But I rest with 3 questions, which are possibly explained in the game that I missed:
1) Why did comstoc need to 'steel' his child from another world. I would think he needed a heir and his wife was infertile or somesting?
2)Why did the twins bring Booker to the comstoc world to interfere?
Again these questions might have been plainly explained, if so sorry.
But my main question: How did Elizabeth/Anne get her powers? If it was because she came from another world at least one of the twins should have had them to, if not the only other thing I could think of was is through experiments, but I don't think I ever heard anything about that and if that was the case there should be more people or devices with the same power.
