So I just finished infinite, and I have to say I was more than a little disappointed. I think Yatzee nailed it when he said the game disappears up its own butt. Seriously, I feel like some man just jumped in front of me, waved his hands around and backed away slowly. Am I supposed to be impressed or something? It tries to be deep, without making any actual sense. The only strong point is that I am actually upset because I liked Elizabeth and Booker and they deserve more than this stupid ending. If they live in a world of infinite probability, then why do they even kill Booker in the first place? They are doing nothing to save anybody because Comstock will just exist in an infinite amount of other worlds. Is Booker reincarnated or, is he already dead and this is all in his head or something? Is Booker Jack? Andrew Ryan? Both? If so does that mean he is also Elizabeth? If Booker is everyone, does that mean he is God? The tears plot point negates all the impact of the story because it makes everything possible which is the same as making nothing possible.
The damn thing raises more questions than answers.
I went in expecting a game about the dangers of nationalism but instead they focus on the stupid quantum mechanics. I don't know, maybe I'm not smart enough to get it but the end is just vague and confusing. Could someone please explain why they think the ending is good, maybe I'm missing something and your explanation can redeem the ending for me.
