I like the multiverse aspect, but I dislike that Elizabeth is 'looking' for the Booker that becomes Comstock to end him and prevent it all, and while THIS Booker wants to just move on from what happened, and live a normal life with Elizabeth, she insists on showing him what happened, and telling him what will happen, if not him that becomes Comstock, another will. She sets him in motion to hunt Comstock and stop him for taking Elizabeth. And then when he is determined, after being shown everything, she gives him the choice he originally would've rejected, asking "are you sure this is what you want". As if to say, she doesn't want him to go down this path. As if to say, she now, could be okay with a normal life. But obviously, Booker isn't thinking clearly, how could he? He's just been given so much information and is now emotional. He believes it's his path to stop Comstock and save Elizabeth. And so, upon making this choice, Elizabeth steps aside, and allows this Booker to take the place of the Comstock she was looking for, and die as Comstock, stopping the legacy of Comstock from happening...

Something that confuses me is how does drowning the Booker we played as change anything? Shouldn't be Booker's younger self?

Watching this ending never gets easier😭

9:49

The final boss battle, in this case, is getting through all the infodumping.

Reading the comments below, then realising how the DLC pans the story... No.. he isn't the dad. He is the bad guy. She dies. Story over.

I finally after 5 years of letting this game go, finished all bioshocks in one sitting, currently at burial at sea part 1 ... BUT MAN WAS THIS SOMETHING ELSE . I had dreams of it for a straight two nights, this was such a badass perfect ending, I WAS JUST LIKE WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING- THEN I AM IN RAPTURE- THEN I AM BACK AT LIGHTHOUSE. WHAT THE FUCK. PERFECT GAME, PERFECT UNIVERSE, PERFECT CHARACTERS 10/10

Elizabeth is Anna

e

Ken Levine shit the bed harder than a dementia patient

This ending still blows me away after all these years. One of the best games out there. It introduced me the concept of the multiverse without even saying the word.

0:40 this sound used to scare the shit out of me when i was little

1:00 this sound used to scare the shit out of me when i was little

the ending made me cry

Masterpiece

I guess religion wasn't really for Booker.

To this day this still gives me goosebumps...

You know for a 1912 New Yorker, he's taking all these revelations pretty well.

Dumbass ending

I remeber playing this when it came out and abiut halfway through my save got bugged and i figured it was the game that was broken so i never finished it. About a decade later, im sitting around and find it in a drawer and decide to give it a shot again. Once i got to experience this ending and the credits came up i put the controller down and was in shock for almost 29 mins. THIS IS WHAT I HAD BEEN MISSING FOR A DECADE!!!! Incredible twist ending i did not see coning and loved every second of it

fantastic game, I stayed to live mentally in its story and it was fascinating, all the bad decisions, all the good ones, lead to creating reality

It was confusing

:) epicness of angry birds

A city on the ocean floor? What are they doing in Atlantis?

Dffgg

Dffgg

Sddffg

“There’s always a man, There’s always a lighthouse, There’s always a city”

Its shoehorned in a bit but still good. Blah blah blah parallel universes paradoxes plot holes, still was done well, plot doesn't have to be complicated and error free to be compelling

My brother always enjoyed watching me play video games. Luckily, he was over when I finished this one. I will never forget it. I finished it. We watched the credits. Neither of us spoke for 15 minutes. We were absolutely blown away. We couldn’t put into words what we’d just seen. The best ending to a video game ever.

This ending was an absolute mindfuck holy shit

Greatest game i ever played

12:17 You know, other stories will present the conundrum of going back in time to kill someone as a baby before they've even done anything yet. "Would you go back in time to kill baby Hitler?" and whatnot. Booker doesn't even think twice about smothering baby Comstock to death. I know they're preoccupied, but it's almost comical how no one seems to object or call him out on it.

The gameplay sucked big time but this is peak storytelling. The ending is on par with RDR2 and Ghost of Tushima

Would that also mean that Elizabeth was never in Rapture to release Atlas from prison? He never got the chance to start the civil war because Atlas stayed trapped in "Fontaines department store" which was sunken, and used for a prison.

The end of the series take place in the beginning of the series brillant

Winter 2012 really hit different

It’s fascinating to see that once Elisabeth got the full entirety of her powers she became very monotone very indifferent. I think it’s because once she is basically a multiversal godlike being she knows and is almost everything that will and won’t happen human emotions are kinda way down the line for her now

when a story is so deep that it becomes pointless

This ending made me cry lmao

This and the 2013 one were always my favorite halloween tournaments. They tried bringing back the zombie pigs last year but the new level design sucks and just ruins the experience for me.

Its hard to believe that Booker wouldn't have just killed Comstock when trying to get Anna/Elizabeth back, like he doesnt even think to jump through, this game was good but the plot makes no sense when you really think of it

If this were realistic the songbird woulda imploded instantly lmao

imagine if the character during the trip to Rapture goes up the stairs and takes the las plasmid dooming the original Bioshock player lol.

It is a simple concept but complicated as hell

13:15 Booker: "Of course it is. I remember-wait. *You’re not... you’re not... who are you?”* I played this game so many years ago and just now realized one important thing about this scene. I think Booker wasn't referring to the other Elizabeths when he asked "Who are you?" but to the main Elizabeth. Why?… because this is not OUR Elizabeth, because she doesn't have a cameo. That's why Booker is so confused and says, "You’re not... You’re not... who are you?" He wanted to say to her, "You're not my Elizabeth."

He is Lucifer He is Adam No …. I’m both…

0:00 5 Imperial Officers Pigs & 17 Stormtroopers Pigs 0:32 3 Imperial Officers Pigs & 2 Stormtrooper Pigs 1:37 8 Stormtrooper Pigs 2:32 1 Grand Moff General Pig & 3 Imperial Officers Pigs & 4 Stormtroopers Pigs 3:21 7 Stormtrooper Pigs 3:57 4:30 5:20 5:55 6:46 7:43 8:14 8:46 9:24 10:25

This ending makes you can't complain about all of this game’s trailers that seem to have different concepts.

this hits differently after first playing infinite first and then the first bioshock
