Gosh, didn't mean to kick your precious puppy, mate.
Elizabeth is only captured twice, and at specific points in the story. Any other gunfight, she's either cowering or running in gunfire. Either way, enemies charge right past her in a train and gun Booker down instead of capturing her. Doesn't make sense.
And I get the ending, but there are way too many logical loopholes.
Spoilers! |
How can Comstock fund quantum physics research if being the Prophet requires him to have already manipulated quantum physics? How exactly is Anna/Liz able to manipulate tears? Why does the old, brainwashed Elizabeth help Booker? When Elizabeth opens tears with regards to the weapon dealer, is she merging two universes, or pulling herself and Booker into a different one? Is she the one who pulls Booker into the 1980's, or was that just a big ol' tear that he accidentally walked into? Is the post-credits scene a memory Booker has, or is it actually taking place at the end? If it's actually taking place, HOW is it actually taking place when Bopker/Comstock is dead in all timeline? Is there a timeline where he goes to the Sea of Doors but ISN'T drowned? If they go back in time to when he's baptized and drown him, why isn't the priest there with the rest of the onlookers, and why don't they stop these magically appearing girls from drowning this poor guy? Also, it's never addressed as to the possibility of infinite universes wherein Booker never sells Anna, as well as universes where Comstock never takes Anna. But such universes HAVE to exist and therefore the ending ALSO wipes those from existence, which is pretty unfair to those Bookers when you stop amd think about it. Also, "wipe the slate clean so none of this ever happened" endings are lazy cop outs, and I can't think of a single instance where a story with a timeloop WASN'T riddled with plotholes. |
It was an alright game, but the narrative fell waaaaay short of what they were originally aiming for, and the combat is just kind of a retread of exactly what they did in Bioshock. I'd give the game a solid B, but it's definitely not the 12 hours of blowjobs that reviewers are making it out to be.
