Bioshock Infinite - the $200 million 6 hour literally on rails interactive movie with guns thread
- Thread starter Suchy
- Start date
I will play the DLC then complain about it.
Not to mention the PE thread, which will probably reach 1000 before the end of the year and end up around 1500 when the game comes out.

So late to the party. Does anyone in this world (including Ken Levine) have a sound explain to the plot/ending/stinger of this game after this long time?
It's worrisome that MCA likes it. I hope future Obsidian games (if there will be any) will not turn into such too-deep-for-me stuff.
There is enough stuff in this world(like probability theory) make me have headache without contrived fictional story.

Tim Cain liked Oblivion as well.
Obsidian developers have shitty tastes. Avellone and other Obisidian guys already said that when actually developing a game, they prefer to allow for interactivity when possible instead of artsy, pretentious, scripted, linear nonsense.

want an explanation?
it's rubbish nonsense.
Here's an explanation: it's all bullshit. But it's not just any bullshit. It's bullshit that has been cynically designed to sound meaningful to idiots. The idiot's thought process, after finishing the game: "I don't understand any of this, it must be too deep for me. I'd better tell all my friends about how this amazing story changed my life forever, so they don't think I'm dumb for failing to understand it."
Fucking necros.
Let it die.

But wait, I'm curious about how Rapture DLCs will play out! Let's give them two more chances!
Hey meat, don't cross the last of the great old ones here.

It's not crossing, it's pleading.
So, Bioshock Infinite eh?

That is the best description of Bio Infinite, yet. You see when something is bullshit when people talk about it in hysteria.

No. Well, he's hinted at it, but he's taken this very deliberate "oh there's something we intended, but uh, you guys can work it out yourselves, it's more intellectual that way!" stance when talking about it. Conveniently, it seems that to get "answers", you'll need to buy the next $20 DLC.

Now I see where the true loyalties of Codex lies.

Either they Elizabeth kills Booker entirely before he chooses to be saved so Comstock never comes to being or she kills only the Booker who was choosing to be saved and Comstock never comes into being. Latter is likely given the post-credits scene. Elizabeth has her powers because part of her is in two different realities. The twins you see throughout the games are the same person from two realities, and also dead, but not really dead because they also had weird powers from the machines they built.
I think that covers it, basically.

Booker and Elizabeth exist in multiple dimensions, thus the DLC with the two of them in Rapture - this is a standard MCA motif, ie his description of Ravel existing on multiple planes simultaneously.
Elizabeth's relationship to Booker is the classic estranged, sexually frustrated daughter-father pairing Ken Levine loves - and so does MCA, see Annah in PST.
For that matter, Elizabeth's 'true name' IS Anna - a reference to MCA.
Indeed, the central motifs of both BIS and PST are the same - what can change the nature of a man?
Best of all, Avellone, spelled in reverse, is Eno Lleva - slang for awesome Levine.
Conclusion: Ken Levine is MCA.

I see. So everything in game is actually true. MCA and Ken Levine are twins just like Lutece. Which one is the original one in our universe, which one comes through a tear?
