Mindf*cked - Bioshock Infinite

Bring us the girl, wipe away the debt.

I've been watching Cry's videos for a while now and as he's playing Bioshock Infinite DLC currently, I thought I'd watch the original gameplays. And boy the plot is so good I was mentally and emotionally shaken, I was speechless (and still in shock) for a good 15 minutes after going through the ending. Everything about this game, is gold. The concept, the story, everything every character said in the game, the gameplay... again, everything. If you like concept of multi-universe/parallel universe, or movies with deep theory (ie. Inception), this is the one for you.

When the game starts, Booker (the gamer) is on a boat and he is told to get a girl from a mysterious place called 'Columbia' for a pair of oddly-speaking couple with no names. The boat stopped at a light house (what is located in the middle of an ocean) and through a skypod(?) in the light house he ascended to 'Columbia', a floating city. Yup. Floating. A city. In the sky. And Columbia seems lovely and dreamy, it's the perfect city you wish you could live in. But every beautiful thing has an ugly side. And by playing the game the ugly truth slowly unfolds... 

Who is that girl? Why is she important? Why the couple insistsBooker to get her? And who are they? Who is that bearded guy who calls himself a prophet? Why is the city floating? Why is everything seems so crazily perfect in this city?


There's always a lighthouse, a man, a city.
The moment you realise the story (kind of) correlates with Bioshock 1 & 2. *insert dramatic chipmunk GIF*





The mind of the subject will desperately struggle to create memories where none exists.

Enjoy.
