TheMightyEthan Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I don't remember the textures on the PC version looking bad, so probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Only at some parts do I recall bad textures on the PC. Some of the doors are quite bad if even I noted it on my recent playthrough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Who else downloaded, played, and finished Burial at Sea Episode 2? I'm not quite sure how to feel. Not in an emotional sense, just in a narrative and fan of BioShock in general. I'm always a sucker for "behind the scenes" content in games, and this DLC definitely has it. Just, you're going to get messy when you apply a new narrative and paste it to an established one to fuse canon. The issues people had with Infinite basically come back to Episode 2 if I had to put it simply. On a technical level, it makes sense. Reveal hidden contents Booker is there primarily to kill any dead air during Elizabeth's errands. Comstock had Elizabeth in Episode 1 as the partner, now a phantom of Booker is Elizabeth's companion. But what is he truly? Actually a mere figment of Elizabeth's mind, or maybe a fragment of her lost power? Maybe he fibbed and is actually the spirit of Booker? Then we get into the issue of how many "Elizabeth" entities are present for the narrative of Episode 2. We see she died from the Big Dady from the prior installment, but supposedly she was brought back from beyond the grave, and such an action eliminates her powers and she becomes the only "Elizabeth." What's cool is that you can actually see dead bodies floating in the water as the Lutece twins row you to a lighthouse, so people have taken them to represent the multiple "Elizabeth." In truth, playing as a true Elizabeth would be complex and overpowered, so random multiverse law and we have Ms. Sneaky-Sass Lass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 They tried to close the loop but I'm not sure on how well they did on that part. Reveal hidden contents From what I gather, Elizabeth killed the last Comstock in Episode 1. So for some reason things (e.g. Elizabeth powers) broke down and we got plain old Elizabeth who is pose to finish tying up loose ends to usher in well, Bioshock, which is the "correcting" act.After Elizabeth dies in the end, it is over for her and Booker. She is really dead. As for who we are playing during the playthrough, I believe she is the last Elizabeth. Sure she may have some flashback/flashforwards but I think its parts of her collective memories or something. Also notice that when you die and revive, you're doing it the old fashion way... a plain restart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I never died. Though I heard there's audio or cutscenes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Blah. Liz got to go berserk sometime considering her situation... and yes, the few times that I did die there were audio and cutscenes. It almost makes me want to go around and die a lot but that is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I'm still working on Episode 1. I didn't want to start it until Episode 2 came out, and then when it did I was on Infamous, so I just started Episode 1 yesterday. Will probably get them both finished today.

TheMightyEthan Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Finished it. I never died either, but now I'm wishing I had. Reveal hidden contents The reason Elizabeth lost her powers is because she warped back into a world in which she had died. Apparently that takes away your powers for some reason. I don't really understand why that made her lose her powers, but it's definitively established by audiologs that that's the reason. I think it did a really cool job of bringing everything full circle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
