[quote=caucheka]no actually the ending was stupid.[/quote]

[quote=MrCuddowls]Must be because you didn't understand it. Real spoilers, DON'T look at this if you haven't finished the game. [spoiler] The ending touches upon many aspects of multiple universes and ties it to science and art, depending on how you decide to interpret it. I won't touch upon these past saying this: You first show up at the entrance to rapture, where when looking up, you see a sky full of stars. You enter into another area within which there is an infinite amount of light houses. If you look carefully out to the distance, you would see that the lighthouses actually climb the sky. They actually are all the "stars" in the sky, all those are lighthouses. The entire area is covered with them. And as you listen to the dialogue, you understand that these are all the possible worlds, all the possible Bioshocks ever. It is awe inspiring and can be interpreted further based on what you think of it. Now, this is when the heavy spoilers really begin. We find out that "Booker Dewitt" and "Zachary Comstock" are the same people. Booker is the person the he would remain if he did not choose to get baptized. If he did choose to baptize himself, he would become a holy man and change his name to Comstock. Booker decides that he doesn't want comstock to exist and thus, decides to drown himself. With him dead, the original source of comstock is gone and Bioshock Infinite would have never occurred. Basically, the events of bioshock infinite are an illustration of what would happen if The Booker Dwitt who did not get baptized, ends up in the same world with the Booker Dewitt who did get baptized. We find out that Anna and Elizabeth are the same entity, simply having different names depending on the reality they are in. Anna get stolen by "Comstock", who changes her name to Elizabeth. The reason Comstock stole Anna from "Dewitt" was because he felt bad for her. As you should have seen, Dewitt's living conditions weren't exactly amazing, so Comstock asked Letuce to get Anna from Dewitt. Dewitt tries to get Anna back when he regretted giving her up. The difficulty he gave Comstock as he was leaving into the portal with Letuce ended up with the portal closing on Anna's finger, which severed it and was the reason Anna lost her finger. The reason she is able to open tears is because a part of her body is in a different dimension. At the end, after the credits, Booker never falls into debt and is able to keep Elizabeth. The scene opens with him in his office, he hears a baby Elizabeth laugh behind the door to his right and goes to see her. Upon opening the door the game goes to black. It's a happy ending that brought tears of joy to my eyes. The game's overall lesson in my opinions is this: Everything is bullshit. That's the point. As the Luteces kept saying, everything is, has, and will. Meaning past, present, future, and all of the events that possibly can exist all do together at the same time forever. Infinity. It's the answer to the age-old questions "why is there something rather than nothing?" and "what is the point of life?" There is no point. Everything just is. Live your life well and treat others kindly, because existence is all one together. Bioshock Infinite. [/spoiler] Bioshock Infinite was a spectacular game and I feel bad for anyone who doesn't even try to understand it. [embed=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acxnmaVTlZA][/quote]

[quote=Darcurse]"It's dumb" In a way that this relatively good ending was just a) smacked into our face. and b) in a way totally predictable right from the moment Eliz opened the first tear the moment we see her. [spoiler] You walk through the game normally and somewhere after 1/3 to 1/2 of the game, you have the designer sit on your shoulder continuously pointing it out: "Oh did you see that? Well, did you? There we show you that we go down the Time Travel/Multiverse route!" You go along with that and right at the end, after the game is DONE, you kill Comstock, gain control of the Songbird, get pulled into the "Multiverse doorstep", literally getting told that Eliz is your daughter (which didn't rly exists up until then) and that you're Comstock, right before getting drowned by Multiverse Eliz/Annas, so that it NEVER HAPPENED... Wooooow, one way to mess up storytelling and trying to splash anything right at the end. And after that I found out that there are no different endings anymore and those 2-3 decisions are only for slight ingame difference?? Well played.... It would have been better, if they just let those two stay in Rapture and become part of the Story of BS1. [/spoiler][/quote]

[quote=MrCuddowls]So far no one understands why the ending that took place could have been the only ending possible. Come on, SOMEONE here must have understood the game.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]no, i understood the ending. there was a chart i should of saved that explained it better than cuddowls did. but just because i understood it doesn't mean it was good. this is what i took away from the ending: [spoiler]this is a video game it doesn't matter what happens. deal with it.[/spoiler][/quote]

[quote=Yukimaru]So everyone that doesnt agree with you doesnt understand the ending. LEGIT LOGIC, GG WP Cuddowls you made me laugh again. I have it since release(green man gaming thingy to gud) but only played like 2 or 3 hours by now, so cant rly say much to it[/quote]

[quote=MrCuddowls]Not quite If someone thinks that any other ending would be more suitable than the one that took place Than that person does not understand it at all. It's not about disagreeing with me, it's about paying attention to details and understanding the game.[/quote]

[quote=Meiyjhe]I don't know a lot about Bioshock, but I do know this: A good ending is an ending that builds itself noticably up. I have 2 examples for this, a good example, and a bad example: (BAD) Eleusis: [spoiler] You crashed your car, strand up in a village, woman stranger trapped, you need to save her. Creepy guy chases you. This is 90% of the game, and at the end, when you find her, she is like: "Muhahaha, I am actually one of the bad guys, and you are a person that actually was born here, but then got cast away again, and then came back here, and now we sacrefice you!" And then you are like: noooooooooo Game over O.o [/spoiler] (GOOD) Amnesia: [spoiler] You wake up, knowing nothing, the only thing you know, is that you have to kill a man, Alexander. There are some journal pages left throughout the castle, where you wander around. The journal is written by you, and each time you find a piece of the journal, you learn a little bit about the story. At the end, you really hate Alexander and you really want him killed. It is amazing, you really start to hate him. And when you eventually defeat him, you wonder, what is good, what is evil? [/spoiler] So, it is not about understanding the plot, the plot needs to build itself up, else it is not a good plot :P And maybe you noticed those little things from the beginning, but someone else might not care for it, for those people it might be a really strange ending. It is not the fault of the players, nono, it is the fault of the game producer :P Especially for a famous game like bioshock.[/quote]

[quote=Darcurse]What Meiyjhe said.. The ending isn't bad, but the way it was presented is.[/quote]
