You'll be surprised with how much you've missed out on your first run and how much sense everything makes.ĭid they plan this entire thing from the beginning AKA since the first BioShock? No, they didn't, and Ken Levine confirms this in the BioShock Remastered: Director's Commentary videos. Watch every kinetoscope and use every telescope. Closely listen in on the dialogues of common citizens. Listen to the voxophones and delve deep into the meaning of each. Nothing is unnecessary and the dev team has put much care into what they include and don't include not to complicate the narrative. To start off, everything in this game has a purpose. The writers of Infinite are, quite frankly, geniuses. I now see this game to be the best-executed story in video game history ever told, and coming from someone whose favorite franchise is Dark Souls, it's obvious that I love games where you have to piece it together yourself. Now, six years later, I've finally found the answers to the most common questions I've seen asked by various people. in order to keep myself alive to finish it. How is this relevant? Reaching for this achievement basically forced me to look at every nook and cranny of the game for salts, health, money, etc. Because they will never be as overly satisfied as when they go through Burial at Sea.Ĭheck out Burial at Sea Ep.2’s trailer if you’re interested or not enough.Recently, I picked up this game again, playing on '1999 Mode' to get the 'Scavenger Hunt' achievement. And I’m determined to make as many gamers I know fall in love with the series, as well as not only make sure that they play through the trilogy, but the DLC for the third game as well. I see now why the first of the Bioshock series won game of the year after it was released. Hope that series like this can help video games evolve. Not only did Bioshock keep me at the edge of my seat, it gave me hope with its plot and game mechanics. That’s how much more mind-blowing it is compared to the first game’s ending (which was still super amazing). Not even movies these past few years have been able to cause such an impact on me. I’m tearing up again just thinking of the second episode’s ending. Let’s just say that by playing through this second episode of Burial at Sea, you will see that the overall story of the Bioshock seires depend on the existence of Columbia, Booker and Elizabeth as well the events that occur in Bioshock: Infinite AND the DLC.īioshock: Infinite Burial at Sea completed the series in ways I can’t describe. Now, at this point I would be gushing to you about the ending of this DLC, but that’s not what a review is about. (The first time we see Elizabeth’s hallucination of Booker) He also knows where she needs to go and what is to come, like Elizabeth could when she wanted to predict things. This is my theory based on the fact that he seems to know what she needs to say when interacting with people she has to negotiate and work with. Instead she sees him in a few instances and mostly hears him through her radio, guiding her as if she had fabricated him in her mind moments before her second to last self ceased to exist. He doesn’t follow her around like Elizabeth did with Booker when he was still alive. The players also discover along with her what seems to be a hallucination of Booker Dewitt. While playing as Elizabeth (finally!), albeit without her unique power, players have the choice of being stealthy with a crossbow, or loud and proud with the regular weapons strewn about. (Closing your own eyes can’t be good for the soul and mind) All of those went away with her second to last death. She could also see the past and the future. In Bioshock: Infinite, players found out that Elizabeth could feel what all her other selves could, knew what they knew. The consequences of being the only version of herself is that there are no other version to be connected with. But that means that she has no more chances if she dies one more time. Luckily, there was one version of herself left. It worked, but what she didn’t expect was her own death. In this episode, we find out that Elizabeth wanted revenge all along and had set up a trap to kill him. So now that you’ve been warned, let’s get right on this! I think at this point there’s no need to mention the fact that spoilers will be given in this review to make sense of things I’ll be mentioning.
