This is pretty much me going through Bioshock Infinite and saying how amazing it is. The mind of the subject will desperately struggle to create memories where none exist. Warning: This post contains Bioshock Infinite spoilers; click the "Read More" in the bottom right-hand corner if you want to be spoiled (unless you've played it already; then you can freak out with me). I'm just gonna talk about the beginning and the end because those are the most important parts. Everything in between is just fighting and other little things that I don't remember. On March 26, 2013 the third installment of the franchise Bioshock was released. Bioshock Infinite is set during 1912 in Columbia, and you play as Booker Dewitt who is on a mission to find a woman called Elizabeth (the best character in the whole franchise). Elizabeth is imprisoned in a tower by Zachary Comstock, the Prophet of Columbia, and a giant robotic bird called Songbird. The game starts out with Booker on a boat with two other people - Robert and Rosalind Lutece. Booker is dropped off at a lighthouse, and, although he is supposed to meet someone there, nobody is there but a dead body with a note saying "Don't disappoint us." Booker goes to the top of the lighthouse where a door with three bells is enclosing a room with a "fancy chair" (actual thing that Booker says). He gets into the chair, but it turns out that it's actually a pod-type-thing, and it shoots off into the sky. When he gets to Columbia, there's all of this stuff about "The Lamb," "The Prophet," and "The False Shepherd." Booker sees that he has an "AD" on his hand - which we find out at the end stands for Anna Dewitt aka ELIZABETH'S name (I hate this game) - and then he gets chased around by the police for pretty much the rest of the game. Okay I'm just gonna go back and talk about Anna Dewitt and Elizabeth Comstock. I've played the ending of this game at least 10 times, and that's the part where you find out that Booker is actually Elizabeth's dad. And Zachary Comstock - the Prophet - is Booker from a different timeline. So Booker needs to break Elizabeth out from the tower because she's captured by Zachary (Booker from a different timeline). Booker then gets taken back to when Booker is first given the task to find Elizabeth, this british guy named Robert Lutece is all "Give us the girl, and we'll wipe away the debt," so Booker turns around and gets confused because there's a baby in a crib right behind him (but there wasn't a baby in a crib before). So he's saying things like "There wasn't a baby in a crib before, where did she come from?" and then Elizabeth comes out of nowhere to convince him to give the baby over to Robert. Booker gives it to him; then the door that's separating Booker and Robert closes by itself, and then Elizabeth opens the door to reveal them sitting in the same boat Booker was in at the start of the game. They walk up to the lighthouse then Booker opens the door to see Zachary Comstock, Robert Lutece, and Rosalind Lutece (who are the same person from different dimensions, and they both show up throughout the whole game) trying to get the baby through this portal-type thing. Booker starts yelling at them to give her back, and THEN Booker yells "Give me back my daughter!" through the portal and it's the worst thing to ever happen in the whole game. He just sold his daughter. The very end shows Booker in the river where - in the Zachary timeline - he "cleansed himself of his sins," and 6 or 7 different Elizabeths from different timelines show up. When the priest asks Booker what his name is, one of the Elizabeths says "Booker Dewitt" and then another one says "He's Zachary Comstock," but Booker says really dramatically "No. I'm both." and then all of the Elizabeths drown him in the river so that the millions of Comstocks and Dewitts are all dead; they kill him before he can become either one. It's really intense. I love this game. ***Disclaimer: You do not have to play the first two games in order to understand what happens in this storyline.
