I love how this game's story can be really confusing and deep with a lot of twists and turns, and yet somehow, you still get to feel everything you are supposed to feel. Elizabeth's loneliness, Booker's regret, the way their relationship reflects a father-daughter relationship, and how they are both what they have been looking for during all of their lives. It's amazing.

It does not make sense that he does not know the phrase

He is the perfect tragic hero In this game. A man not worth saving but a man that saves others. It proposes the perfect question to the player. Is Booker the hero or the villain?

Something I absolutely love is that the bird and the cage are one and the same. On first glance, without context, the bird represents freedom as opposed to the cage's prison. But the songbird is Elizabeth's cage. There is no meaningful choice in this moment, all player choice is an illusion that leads to the same outcome. As is a major theme of the franchise.

This game does world building so damn well. I remember in the city you came across a music shop with a tear in it and you could hear music from 60-70 years later playing through it, and the voxophone had someone telling the musician how great this music he was making was and where he gets such great ideas. The phonograph in the shop happens to be playing "everyone wants to rule the world" in a 1912 ish rendition. Fantastic game.

[@titanhunter1554]

For People wondering what the problems of the game are: it has a lot topics and directions But nothing is fully fleshed out. Time Travel, Dimension Travel and Multiverses are all part of the Story. The Devs also could not make the game they wanted because they were limited by the technical capabilities back then.

Easily one of my Top 5 games ever. The first time you see Columbia is something to never forget. One of the best and most beautiful settings in videogames of all time.

I never understood why having a new updated unreal engine while the first two games used unreal engine as well. They completely got rid of all physics in Bioshock Infinite.

[@micdoge1566]

I’m seeing these comments that Infinite has a bunch of problems but like what problems does Bioshock infinite have? The story is actually good and if your sad “spoiler” that booker dies well he actually gets a happy ending because he was stuck in a infinite loop of either becoming comstock by excepting the baptism or becoming booker by not excepting the baptism living with his guilt and inevitably selling his daughter. but since in the end booker chose to die breaking the loop, comstock would never have existed so booker would of never sold Anna/Elizabeth so Booker wouldn’t have to live with the guilt of selling his daughter. This is proven by the post credit scene. Besides that, the gameplay is phenomenal with the inclusion of the sky hook and the tears with the weapon variety. If you think it’s too easy than play a harder mode 10 out 10 game just like the first. The second was also really good I just think it was really just the first game with different characters though. The dlc well wasn’t the best was actually really creative and I liked the stealth aspect.
