It's funny that Spore Zombie Game came out just after Bioshock: Infinite, both games have incredibly similar premises in terms of story, and yet the one that was about zombies and made no effort to address Weighty Politics is suddenly far more resonant

Also, there's the whole bit where Bioshock: Infinite pushes just a tiny bit too far into grimdark, despite on the surface being less violent, and that its protagonist is objectively FAR more of a shthead despite NOT being the one who dooms all humans.

("less violent" here means that in Bioshock: Infinite, when you shoot someone there's blood spatter and they die, in TL OU as we've discussed they writhe on the ground sobbing or screaming)

The exception being the end to Burial at Sea Part II, which was incredibly, needlessly violent, a ridiculous fridging for the ages, and if I actually cared about Elizabeth as a character it would probably piss me off more than any game ending ever

Never played the DLC but Infinite lost me at the point where the story decided that the revolutionaries were just as bad as Comstock and even though I finished the game I didn't have a good time with it after that.

Yeah, well, the DLC tried to fix that, by having it so the revolutionaries agreed to fake being evil and sacrifice themselves to turn Elizabeth into a killer so she can kill Booker/Comstock which was stupid and it got worse

Then in the second DLC it ends with Elizabeth being beaten to death with the wrench from the original Bioshock as part of a heroic "sacrifice" to make sure the hero from Bioshock 1 can show up

Ha I guess it's a measure of their failure here that so many people still haven't heard of this

Replying to @arthur_affect @RaulIcochea and
I swear the entire Mission Statement Of Burial At Sea was Fanservice at all costs: damn the character assassination or expense. Nope! Elizabeth can’t be a god, she has to die to “tie up plot holes” or some shit -.-
