Bioshock Infinite: I Love This Game - SPOILERS AWEIGH.
That's operating under the assumption that all Bookers are dead, not just the Comstock ones. The way I figure it, Booker already knows he's Comstock, and he's made the conscious decision to stop himself. I don't think they kill a…

We can reconcile him to his past acts by forgiving him. That's what forgiveness is about. Reconciliation, to my mind, is about repentance and forgiveness. The person who does something wrong repents and others forgive them. Booker is already de…

That's pretty much where I'm at, too. If you are both the person who destroys New York and not, the person who fathers a daughter and doesn't, why are you bound to this one act all of a sudden? Also, no, forgiveness and death are not …

It's because the ending is really about an utter lack of forgiveness. The future is known, knowing it changes nothing, and you must die for it.

See, the fact that Booker returns to the beginning is what makes it hard for me to think about his death as an act of atonement. Atonement is about living with a mistake and making right. Bioshock ends with Booker dying to never make the mistake in …

So there are infinite Bookers who have fathered infinite Elizabeths? And there are likewise Infinite Comstocks? If that's true, how can this be about atonement, personal or otherwise, when the events you are trying to forestall are bound to occ…

I'm willing to give them credit for the gloss they throw on it at the end of that sequence. I also liked how angry and sad the ghost was. It took a while before I read tears as dimensional rifts and not "tiers." I was so enamored with…

I was fine with the ghost of lady Comstock. What was lame about it?

I was kinda hoping 1999 would function like new game plus that carried over your existing abilities.

I want to do more sneaking around and play with more ammo scarcity. I think it might even be fun to be limited to the use of Vigors.

Doing that with it is certainly a mistake.

I was really excited about the total lack of chaperon missions in the game. Then I had to chaperon an entire zeppelin.

This particularly egregious when you're fighting the Vox. She's right there, guys. You can see her.

I'm not friends with anyone who would try to shame me for not changing my avatar. If someone had commented, I would have allayed his or her concerns by removing their ability to view my profile.

That sounds pretty frustrating, Goki. Can't wait for it to happen to me.

I used shotgun/hand cannon for the whole game. The hand cannon was pretty much a sniper rifle that was easy to shoot at close range.

I want to go back and play the game with the bronco/ram combo. I lived for so long without the knowledge of the power wheel. So, so long.

What the fuck does any of this have to do with Video Games? Make a typewriter thread and have this pointless conversation there. Xcom is good.

If you played her on Dominion she was a kill machine. I think she's probably a little over powered now. Mantra and Q is nuts.

Dude. The one Descent game I played would have been a lot different had we known that.

My favorite part about Bioshock Infinite is how you travel to multiple worlds ruining the lives of every one you encounter. Then you end the existence of millions of millions of people and the main characters don't have an ounce of regret. Did…

So when do the exterminations start? I assume immediately.

I haven't had a chance to play Zac but he seems pretty cool. The few matches I've played against him were polar opposites with him dominating one and doing nothing in another.
