It's funny that we could use these things to understand these BioShock Infinite stories.

ColManischewitz3673d ago

Still think BioShock would've made for a much better RPG series than a shooter series. Imagine if you had real choice!

I like to believe in the circle of violence theory

To me though it's not really a theory, it's something that Elizabeth knows she's doing when she meets Atlas in the end. She knows Atlas is going to kill her but at that time she knows something else aswell when she see's a vision of herself on the Plane...Jack.

Elizabeth accepts her face because she knows that her dying and giving Atlas what he wants, his Ace in the Hole, will bring Jack to Rapture and he will finally end the circle of violence for good, saving Sally in the process as she is one of the Little Sisters he adopts.

It's like Daisy Fitzroy she is told that if she pretends that she will hurt a young boy she will die BUT her death will lead to the end of Comstock....it's exactly what happens to Elizabeth at the end, her death brings the fall of Rapture and saves all the Little Sisters.

I think she feels she owes not just Sally but all of them since she says in the game The Big Daddies and Little Sisters are basically Raptures version of SongBird and Elizabeth...constants and variables fitted for Raptures universe, which I'm guessing Andrew is Comstock, Atlas is Daisy and Jack is Booker.

"The main piece of evidence people bring up for this is Infinite’s ambiguous post-credits scene, where Booker wakes up in his office and checks to see if Anna is in her crib, but the screen cuts to black before we can see if she’s actually there. If you’re feeling optimistic, you could interpret it as Booker surviving the aftermath of Columbia and finally being able to raise his daughter in peace."

I like to think Booker survived at the end of the main game, the original Booker anyway. Elizabeth manages to survive because of a paradox the Lutece twins state. So what about if the Paradox moved Booker into a new/different universe. It could one or two ways in this universe.

1) Anna is there in her crib and he finally finds happiness

or

2) She's not there, it was in his head and something else will happen

With different universes and different versions of characters how do we know we were playing as the real Elizabeth, hell did the real one actually die at the start of the DLC.

What about her dying by Atlas hands causes another paradox and resets her powers....who knows.

I find it funny though she died by a wrench....Jacks first weapon in Bioshock

Also) Fallout 76: Wastelanders (Actually brings some sense to the game) (Should be a standalone offline title)

Where’s Big surf island from Burnout Paradise? And all the extras.
GTA4’s dlc was one of the best ever
Undead nightmare was brilliant My 3 favourites off top of my head great value and great content

toxic-inferno1425d ago

Big Surf Island hadn't even crossed my mind!

I know there are plenty of good examples of how to do good DLC (and that Burnout Paradise isn't the most popular in the series amongst fans), but I remember being blown away by the way that Criterion supported Burnout Paradise. The game grew so much since its original release.

RosweeSon1425d ago

Yeah majority for free as well the island would have been free from what I heard but EA wanted to charge luckily wasn’t too expensive and got time money’s worth. Really enjoyed that game and all the content. A Delorean is always gonna be a winner for me 😂✌🏻

RosweeSon1426d ago

Prey Dlc is currently £6.49 on PSN 59% off think I’ll grab that now haha.

ifrit_caress1426d ago

Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3 DLC was great, Horizon: Zero Dawn's Frozen Wilds DLC was good.

RosweeSon1426d ago

I’ve not got round to the frozen wilds yet I need to soon really enjoyed the base game

MoonConquistador1425d ago

An excellent addition to the game, well worth it.

Tacoboto1425d ago

Not even an honorable mention for Frozen Wilds, shame. Damn that expansion felt and even looked better (artistically - those hot springs!) than the base game.

toxic-inferno1425d ago

Yes, the Old Hunters was fantastic - incredible how much they managed to expand the lore of the game, while creating a short, yet incredibly rich, genuine Bloodborne experience. In a way, it's a shame it didn't receive more DLC, but to have such a successful game and follow-up DLC is so rare that we probably shouldn't complain!

pwnmaster30001425d ago

With the amount of fans bloodborne has, I am very surprise they haven’t made a sequel or more DLC. I’m hoping for a sequel for the PS5.
If Sony let’s this franchise die then it will be a major loss to me.

UltraNova1425d ago (Edited 1425d ago )

Pwnmaster,

It's not up to Sony entirely, is it? From Software is busy with Elden Ring so I wouldn't hold my breath for BB 2 anytime soon.

pwnmaster30001425d ago

@Ultra
I could of sworn Sony own the IP.
Was thinking they can push it or something

toxic-inferno1425d ago

The franchise is showing no sign of dying yet - they keep bringing out more and more merchandise for it all the time!

The Greatest Moments of BioShock

Just some of the scenes that stand out from 2K's celebrated shooter series.

Thatguy-3102949d ago

The guitar part in Infinite!!

Orbilator2948d ago

I can't really pick a scene to be honest. But a couple are when the glass breaks on the bio shock, first time a walk way floats into line or maybe even the first time you see a little sister sticking a corpse with a needle. To be honest though I love them all and look forward to a remaster PLEASE!!

Pastorfuzz2948d ago

Saving all the little sisters in the first one

Yui_Suzumiya2948d ago

Gonna cry once the collection releases. Love this series more than anything.

Relientk772948d ago
