There are spoilers in this thread. In this very OP in fact. If you don't want any BioShock Infinite spoilers LEAVE NOW.

Seriously stop reading because there's a major spoiler in my firist question.

Right. Now no-one can complain they weren't warned.

There are a bunch of threads exploring the ending of BioShock Infinite on the web, with a fantastic spoiler thread on NeoGAF for those interested.

Some questions I thought haven't been covered elsewhere in the blagonets:

1. How does Capt. Cornelius Slate know Booker DeWitt and *not* know that he went on to found Columbia?

2. What was the siphon for?

3. Do you think we'll already know the character that Comstock turned into Songbird, or will it be a brand new person? (Ken Levine has hinted before that we'll see DLC that gives more details on Songbird, I believe)?
 
I believe the siphon was there to keep Elizabeth under control, and perhaps to use her power to open their own rifts, not sure about that though.

Either you're smoking something or I am. Comstock founded Columbia as far as I know.

I gave this some thought, and all I can think of is that Comstock traveled back to an earlier time while he was older, before founding columbia. It would explain how he could "see the future", and Slate probably didn't recognize him.
 
Watch this:


Quite a good opinion which I think I agree with. Visually the game was nice. The story for me was okay to quite good. The combat as TB puts it is like a damn chore to get to the next part of the story.

And I just can't get around the fact that there are no damn physics in the game.

6.7/10 for me, I'm starting to trust the big player reviews less and less.
 
I absolutely loved the plot. Like all Bioshock games it is extremely difficult to predict the twist, even though we know there will be one.

Would you have also like Songbird to play a bigger role?

I agree with you here, it was obviously to stop her from creating new rifts by herself. But also, I think they were trying to harvest her power to create their own rifts and manipulate time as they saw fit to have things go their way in any version of history.

One think I didn't quite get was close to the end where Songbird takes Elizabeth again and you try to get her back. Why did that jump suddenly go so far into the future where she was old?

I think Elizabeth (the old one) actually caused that to show you what was going to happen.

I agree that it was probably to keep her under control but I'm not sure about opening new rifts. Comstock and Fink (was it Fink? I forget) spent a fair amount of time researching it, hence the whole theory that Comstock became sterile by working so mucuh with rifts and why he then went and got Anna. The fact that they were able to open the rift to Anna in the first place shows they already had the technology to do it but perhaps they were experimenting on her to make it more stable?
