[iup=3516239]The Watching Artist[/iup] wrote:Believe me I've watched it loads of times. I went and played through the game again in a bid to understand it better. I get what your saying and I understand that killing all Bookers before the baptism choice means no Comstocks. I'm not expecting the final scenes to depict various Elizabeths snuffing out an infinite number of Bookers across the multiverse. But for me the cut scene just depicts player Bookers death as the pivotal circle breaking moment. When in fact it should be a younger Booker, one who doesn't know Elizabeth and has never heard of Comstock. Heck they could have had player Booker drowning younger Booker and then player Booker fading away from the time line. I'd probably have been fine with paradox. Maybe its just me.

The way I see it is that she is showing him pivotal points in his life, jumping him between them to try and explain it to him. Think of it like the other things she shows him, in the same way he hasn't just then decided to give away his baby or turn away from the baptism, he is just experiencing them all again in first person with his current consciousness. The same goes for the final scene where she drowns him, it's taking place in his past and breaks the loop, she's basically saved both of them from himself, as a Booker, (which Booker is up to interpretation) is later shown to have not given away his baby.

Sorry for turning this into the official Bioshock Infinite ending topic, but hell, it's better than it was the last few pages.

It's a tight co-op multiplayer experience executed completely fluently. The levels are tense, the atmosphere superbly grim, the gameplay tough and tactical yet rewarding and satisfying. The deep combination of combat and exploration, elegant decision-and-consequence based gameplay, and partial random generation of levels (combined with enemy AI that is simple yet believable and fair) make it infinitely replayable. It's one of the best games ever made.

Couldn't put it better myself. I would pay full price for a re-release with steamworks support.
