No idea what just happened. The game goes batshit in the last hour or so

Dude you're not supposed to understand it lol it's like beyond human comprehension bro lmao I'm so smart

>travels the multiverse killing every iteration of a mostly good man because of daddy issues
>even killing versions that care for orphans and putting said orphans in danger as bait
Why do people like this bitch Elizabeth? Because she's qt Disney princess daughterfu?

Basically killing yourself in one time line after the event that split the timelines somehow destroys every time line where you and your evil self existed as well as your dimension hopping daughter.

Why?

Because quantum physics or something.

>simp for girl in man game

>she kills you again

Don't worry, Ken Levine had no idea what was going on either.

>We have to kill comstock in every possible timeline
>but there are infinite timelines
>also comstock is booker
>ergo elizabeth murder harem with only 6 (a finite number) elizabeths
Who thought this shit up?

This. They designed a waifu character and then realized they were supposed to be making a video game around her.

Ive jacked off to alot of Elizabeth porn desu

Don't worry, Levine didn't know what was going on as well.

i like both but the left is more tolerable longterm

>game presents a nice functioning society
>I'm supposed to want to destroy it because the founders don't like black people
This made no sense to me until I learned Ken Levine is jewish. It's like expecting a black person to want to destroy Wakanda.

Dude what the fuck!!! what do you mean you dont want to destroy all white society?? fucking racist

Yeah, I really want to aid comstock, but the game with infinite universes somehow didn't have an option for that.

I remember seeing the Elizabeth on the far left in the reveal trailer of the game.
Apparently she was supposed to be mute. Which would've been a good thing since she is the one that narratives that gay plot at the end.

founders as in game or implied? im curious in how are the people attacking the game story as non sense or something since i don't play it

Reminder this game came out at the height of the "you don't need bosses in your game!!!" craze which is why the game hypes up the bird and then you never fight it, I guess to troll the player or something? To be subversive and intellectual? Who knows.
This is then followed by Dark Souls becoming a major influence on the industry and reminding people your game probably needs boss battles if it wants to actually have an impact.

Looking back I can think of few games that have aged as poorly as Bioshock Infinite. It's the hail mary of garbage shooters from the 360 era that take themselves too seriously and try to be an "arty" in the worst possible way. Also the plot is nonsensical garbage when you actually inspect it for more than 10 seconds, but that's not a hot take by any means.

>in the last hour or so.

The story has just too many holes in it once you start to think about it. And not some that could be overlooked with inUniverse logic, but some that just run completely against it.

Lazy writers who want to use time travel in their stories but can’t wrap them up nicely always use multiverse theory as an excuse to get out of being backed into a corner.

See shitty time travel movies like:
Looper
Avengers Endgame

They don't like the Irish either.
But that's understandable.

The biggest shame is the game was finished and they could have released it in a pretty good state, but they decided to delay it and actively make it worse which is why we got the shit we got.

No he knew. He deliberately didn't pay attention to the story because he didn't care. He just wanted as many people as possible to buy the game. He didn't give a single fuck.

>“We went and did a tour… around to a bunch of, like, frathouses and places like that. People who were gamers. Not people who read IGN. And [we] said, so, have you guys heard of Bioshock? Not a single one of them had heard of it.”
>... there are plenty of products that I buy that I don't spend a lot of time thinking about. My salad dressing. If there's a new salad dressing coming out, I would have no idea. I use salad dressing; I don't read Salad Dressing Weekly. I don't care who makes it, I don't know any of the personalities in the salad dressing business."
>"For some people, [games are] like salad dressing. Or movies, or TV shows. It was definitely a reality check for us. Games are big, and they're expensive, I think that's very clear"

god damn bro thats some hollywood kiketalk if i ever heard it

game is extremely dishonest, the first hour was designed to trick reviewers and then the rest of the game is copy/pasted

why are 4channers so edgy?

the rail shit was pretty fucking great.
i remember playing it and having to fight a ghost, not really understanding why this shit even happened in the first place.

The first real thing you do in the game is hear "Wait a minute, that card...".
It began as it intended to go on.

>get handed a note 2 minutes prior
>wate a minute....dat card..

press x to not do racism

>Elizabeth keeps yammering on about how her dad is an evil piece of shit who needs to die (in every single universe) for what he did to her
>he kept her in a luxurious tower because she has magic powers she can't control yet, where she was being groomed and educated to take leadership of the most advanced nation in the world
Elizabeth is Affluent White Girl Who Hates Daddy: The Character

that was to trick reviewers into thinking the game would have puzzles later, same as it tries to trick you into thinking it has a branching story at the beginning

>lets kill these dozens upon dozens of people to get some crate of guns so that the terrorists can help us off this flying city
>we can't carry the guns, let's dimension hop and kill dozens upon dozens of people and also the terrorists
>let's not steal a blimp and fuck off
Absolutely retarded

>filtered by a bad game
whats the problem?

Also a vindictive bitch. That fucking ending still pisses me off. Was I supposed to root for Elizabeth when she drowned me? Was I suppose to agree with her sentiment, despite it making no sense when taken in context of INFINITE universes? How the fuck does killing Booker there stop ALL Comstocks from existing. What about the Booker that decided to be baptized some other day? What about the Booker that functionally became Comstock without ever becoming religious?

>game goes out of it's way to present a highly racist society in a fictional 1912 setting
>is modest enough to never call anyone niggers

And once again, Matthew was right

Yeah no one really knows what happened. SHame really, game was gearing up to be a classic Bioshock game until they started time travelling and the plot went to shit. I basically don't forgive them for retroactively ruining Bioshock 1 and 2 with the Infinite DLC.

Oh boy, did you play the DLC? It shows that it didn't kill all Comstocks, and she's been killing them off herself. You play as the last living Comstock/Booker. She learns that he's been looking after an orphaned girl and uses her as bait to lure him to his death, gloating to his face as he is violently killed in front of her.

This is the heroine of the series.

Jesus fuck, so the DLC basically invalidates the game's ending? And also does the same "kill Booker and feel good about it" shit again?

To me the biggest glaring problem with the game is right after you lose that big airship to the Vox and they say they'll give it back after you get them their guns. Why doesn't Booker just say "fuck this place", find Elizabeth and just grab one of the thousands of smaller boats docked everywhere? Why is he so fucking determined to get back to the airship dedicated the dead wife of Comstock, that has a scheduled flight plan and sticks out like a sore thumb if trying to escape on it? Keep in mind their first attempt failed because Songbird finds them, so why would doing it again be any different? That airship is slow as fuck whereas those smaller boats zip around like nothing and they're fucking everywhere in Columbia, making it easier to blend in while escaping. But nope, he sticks to the agreement even though in the loading screens he straight up says Fitzroy is not to be trusted. So why bother helping them if he knows he's gonna get screwed over and his mission is just get Elizabeth and take her away from Columbia? He's actively working against his primary objective by doing this because all he's doing is bringing more attention to himself and Elizabeth. This story is fucking retarded.

Actually no. Booker remained Booker in infinite timelines. Booker became Comstock in infinite timelines. Comstock's nuts dry due to time traveling so he steals Booker's child. Somehow at the end of the game in OP's pic Elizabeth manages to take the Booker you finish the game as to the moment all infinite timelines are decided.
How? Why that specific moment? How does it work with a Booker that's gone through the events of the game? Why does it kill all Bookers and all Comstocks but there exists a Booker in the post credits scene? Why did Rapture Comstock survive? Why did another Comstock in the second DLC also survive as we visit his Columbia?
Fuck Ken Levine and fuck Infinite. The original story, whatever it was when Booker and Comstock were different people, Elizabeth wasn't his daughter and he was voiced by based Stephen Russell would've been miles better than the dogshit we ended up getting. "muh consoles" isn't even that big an excuse as both BioShock and BioShock 2 are far better games. Fuck I'm mad. What a piece of dogshit game, and even to this day it and TLoU are pandered as the best 2013 games with a deep and emotional story. Fucking kek.

Care to cite that? Much as I want to rip on Ken being the aloof nigger he is there needs to be proof

And why help the Vox when he can obviously slaughter his way to a ship? Helping the Vox or not doesn't change the fact that he has to be a murderous war machine, so why not cut out the middle man?

>genuinely surprised the game depicts the violent black revolutionary leader Daisy Fitzroy as being a vicious, vengeful psychopath
>DLC completely retcons this and turns her into a saint and martyr
That shit ruined the only part of the game that came close to being nuanced. It was like the devs were apologising for having the audacity to depict a black character in a negative light.

Infinite didn't know what it wanted to be. Bioshock 1 and 2 have straightforward themes. Bioshock 1 was objectivism to its extreme and Bioshock 2 was collectivism to its extreme. First Columbia was all about American Exceptionalism even showing Lincoln being viewed positively in Columbia because it was supposed to represent the best of American civilization not be a city of racists. Comstock was a separate character with no beard and one of the themes was going to be technocrats vs Luddites which makes no sense because why would these people willingly go to Columbia if they reject technology? Then you had it become the people vs the government when they had that scene in early development of Booker stopping the murder of a postman for simply being a part of the government. Then 6 months before release the whole story is scrapped again and we ended up with the mess we got now.

That's pretty much what I said in my post. Ignore the Vox, grab one of the smaller ships and slip out easier.

>Lincoln used to be worshipped
>in the final game there's a sub-faction glorifying John Wilkes Booth as a saint for killing him
What a mess this game was

I know, it's stupid. Columbia comes off more like a Confederate wonderland than something made during Reconstruction.

Pseud supreme

I would kill for a BAS elizabeth clone harem

after playing i read the wiki and it makes sense except for the idea that drowning booker would kill comstock in all the parallel worlds, you are never given the impression that the multiple worlds thing works that way

>Reminder this game came out at the height of the "you don't need bosses in your game!!!" craze which is why the game hypes up the bird and then you never fight it
No Songbird battle but they made us fight Ghost Mom 3 times in a row. They must have changed their minds about bosses at the last minute.

I know this is my autism, but if they were really going for that reconstruction/pre-guilded age aesthetic then they should have filled Columbia with anti-Catholic propaganda. Instead it's just niggers/chinks/kikes. Lame.

If I were a girl I'd main this aesthetic

Probably because just making a spooky ghost fight is a lot easier than designing one for a massive flying steampunk mutant bird. What a waste
