So I wonder where the next BioShock will take place? In outerspace? It would be nice to see System Shock 3....

Just finished it. Excellent game with one hell of a story. Best game I've played since Skyrim.
Loved the visit to Rapture at the end. But what gave me the most question was the after credit sequence. Do you think Anna is alive?
yeah I do. I mean she was always alive but it makes me believe their plan for getting rid of Comstock worked and now there's a version where Anna and Booker can live happy as a family.
Doing some thinking about the ending and it truly is incredible in so many ways, buy my favourite thing about it,
The meta aspect of the pier and all the different lighthouses didn't hit me right away, but damn what a beautiful thing to include. It's as if in that moment every player is connected to everybody who reached that point. Every version of Booker and Elizabeth you see is essentially a player representing a different Bioshock universe. What a wicked way to reflect on how in gaming we all experience a narrative and are connected through it even if we all play in our own way.
Ken Levine is a goddam genius.

To be honest if Comstock and Booker both have the exact same past pre-baptism the better question is why isn't Booker a crazy racist. This is apparently a guy who went slaughter crazy and burned people alive in their homes to prove that he didn't have "teepees" in his family tree.Comstock-Booker: A Booker who receives the Baptism, and for some reason becomes crazy, calls himself Comstock, and builds Colombia. (side note: I really wish that they explained how and why this transition occurred, there's such a huge dramatic shift between the characters it's crazy not to focus on that).
He was using the tears as his means of prophecy and saw evil future Elizabeth fulfilling his vision and assumed that he was meant to sire a child.He realizes that, for whatever reason, he wants an heir.
Fink sabotaged their machine and they got scattered throughout the multiverse.Comstock-Booker kills them but their experience and understanding of the Tears allows them to hop back and forth between realities (I guess?).
The Lutece's saw through a tear old Elizabeth destroying the world and the male one decided he wanted to put things right (threatening to abandon his female version if she didn't help).For revenge, the Lutuce Twins set Dad-Booker's sights on Colombia, saying "Hey, we'll wash away your debts if you get Elizabeth out of Colombia". At this point, I don't understand why Dad-Booker doesn't remember them or Comstock. He obviously remembers having a daughter...and I don't get what the "debt" is this time, nor do I understand why the Lutuce Twins would use that vernacular again.
unless they explained it, I always thought he became Comstock because he was a lost soul looking for anything to attach to. Especially after Wounded Knee. The baptism allowed him a new life and a new set of beliefs. It's basically the same origin for every crazy cult leader.
Now I see why Levine was so adamant about them getting the Bioshock movie right. Mother****er is meticulous as hell about detail. Also fun fact, he is the voice of the CIRCUS OF VALUUUUUUUUES!
