Bioshock Infinite: Far From Subtle Final Thoughts!

Game of the Year? Mmmmaaaybeee...

I think the heads tails thing is a hint to the fact that every time you die the luteces pull another booker into that universe (what would explain the office/flat thing) and he makes a different choice than the one before and doesn't die. the list with heads & tails just shows how many bookers got this far, that's my theory at least, but I agree with most of the things you said.

The powers thing at least seem to be internally consistent with what happens with the Luteces when they are "killed". And, the peas and porridge thing could also have other implications. The arc of the story is basically to prevent the creation of Comstock, who (along with the Luteces) enable to tears to exist. It's possible that the universe is trying to fix itself. Part of how the ending 'works' is that, by creating a paradox, the universe wipes out the universes that cause the paradox.

The big reveal that all starts were actually lighthouses, the scenes of desaturated colour, Lutece's daunting requests, the multiple Elizabeths surrounding you as you're being drowned, all the Elizabeths fading into oblivion. All of these things were presented cinematically.

I'm glad you had Fun on Bioshock Infinite Fraser! Keep up those Impressions!

[SoulOfficer]

you know the definition of cinematic! Congrats :3

Not just the UK, all of Europe. We do really appreciate the early shows. I used to destroy my sleep patterns just to watch some of them. I'd do it again to, but 4am hurts. I guess it just depends where you get most your views from.

[GendoRokabundi]

The remnants of bioshock are intentional. It's implied early in the game, and then basically confirmed when Elizabeth and Booker travel there, that Rapture is one of the alternate universes. Big Daddies and plasmids were reverse engineered. However, the salts are the remnant. In the demo (and during the carnival, there is a vending machine) the vigors would be limited use items, instead of permanent powers fueled by a common ammo. That seems like a concession to simplify the gameplay.

[SoulOfficer]

they story, the gameplay, the characters get you in the moment!

[JCBTTV]

I love you so much for the early shows. I seriously waited and watched in to the early hours of the morning.

[LnPPersonified]

I agree with Fraser. While I love twist endings, I only love them if they really contribute to the story and not just exist to be a twist. Infinite totally has that kind of a twist, and it does its job on multiple levels. But I worry along with Fraser that other game companies will feel they need to follow suit in order to compete, and that's just not true. A compelling story can be told without some shocking reveal, and often has in other games. Twists are good, but only if they're rare.

New angle...Feels like a WHOLE NEW VIDEO :3

Yeah early the better for us Brits because it would be afternoon/evening over here. also if you started a show at 8PM it would be 4AM in the UK.

[shellycan]

I live right below these guys in the u.s. and can agree it does feel like summer

[dmaster]

No, the twins have completely lost contact with any one dimension; they're most randomly popping in and out of existences; they learned to steer it a little; but ultimately they have no real control over what's happening to them, and they can't open tears.

[icemelter]

I completely agree that the quantum theory stuff isn't hard to understand. I'm not really that into science and it made sense to me.

[Digikid]

I would personally like to use a mix of time, maybe weekday shows in the morning and group weekend shows in the evening. I don't understand though, Vancouver is never supposed to get so hot as it has for so long.

[BareBandSubscription]

You are. You applied one word as if it was the other. That's why I corrected you. I mean, it's a common confusion of terms, but I was just pointing out they aren't the same.

[Raggedstar]

I notice that I tend to nitpick when I love things too. A game you hate, or didn't want to like, you don't give enough of a damn to be so invested. I have a lot of nitpicks too, but it's the damn 500 character limit...

My GOTY so far, and I don't like shooters usually. It's the way that the gameplay, design, and story go together so well. And despite being a shooter, it's things like the skyrail that make it so much more fun. Sorry, Sly 4.

[floopdoop]

The past parallel universe thing you were talking about doesn't apply to quantum physics many worlds theory, it only splits (on a larger scale) with different decisions, a machine working or not, your cats farting or not etcetera.
Also with the finger split giving her powers I would think that as her finger being cut like that caused the atoms on the cutting point of her finger being in two places at once E.G photon based quantum theory test. that area is very fuzzy so anything goes.

[ScootinFruity]

Love these videos, Thanks for your thoughts Fraser, I completely agree.
