Dear Yahtzee, what does Bioshock Infinite have to do with Infinite Jest ? Which I'm currently halfway through, so don't spoil it for me.
Or is it just for the infinite?

... you know, with all the insane time and space wierdness, dying because he didn't play it, even before the game's release kind of makes sense...Daystar Clarion said:That's irrelevant.synobal said:Did he perchance die of cancer before the game was released?Daystar Clarion said:That's for the best.synobal said:Okay I'm going to get this game. It seems that I have to.
I had a friend who didn't buy the game, and he died of cancer.
True story.
All I know is that he had died, and hadn't played the game.
There's no other possible explanation.
Not playing the game kills you.
What's even more fitting, is that guy didn't exist in the first place.AdamG3691 said:... you know, with all the insane time and space wierdness, dying because he didn't play it, even before the game's release kind of makes sense...Daystar Clarion said:That's irrelevant.synobal said:Did he perchance die of cancer before the game was released?Daystar Clarion said:That's for the best.synobal said:Okay I'm going to get this game.

Ah, I though it had to do with Infinite Jest by late David Foster Wallace.Parakeettheprawn said:"Alas poor Horatio, a fellow of INFINITE jest."Friederich said:Dear Yahtzee, what does Bioshock Infinite have to do with Infinite Jest ? Which I'm currently halfway through, so don't spoil it for me.

It's a twist on the above line from Hamlet (if memory serves me right).
The significance was they were singing "God only knows" by the Beach boys in 1966. It is a hint that they are abusing the tears to advance themselves by taking things from the future and other worlds.uchytjes said:OT: the 4 gay guys had significance? I just thought they were there to sound nice and look pretty.
Yeah, I'd imagine it probably would be incredibly frustrating on 1999 mode.shrekfan246 said:It becomes significantly less awesome on 1999 Modescorptatious said:As for the final level. I actually liked it.
You get to sick Songbird on zeppelins! Friggen awesome!Hectic and tense as all hell, to be sure, but not in the same fun way the rest of the game was on that difficulty.when you're scrambling around trying to distract and kill multiple Patriots, tossing Possessions at them and Undertowing RPG guys off the side of the ship and laying down Shock traps while trying to blow out the missile launchers on the zeppelins and keep the airship from taking too much damage. Bearing in mind that your shield gets shredded in no time flat and the Patriots are massive bullet sponges.
There's a difference between "favorite" and "best". Infinite might not be your favorite game of this gen or gamerankings, but it is to that guy.Anoni Mus said:Super Mario Galaxy is the best game of this generation according to gamerankings. Sorry bud. Might lack in story and in characters but actually has fun gameplay.Proverbial Jon said:Bioshock Infinite is my favourite game of this generation. Hands down, no competition. And considering how little time is left of this generation, apparently, it's going to take a real whopper of a game to snatch that title from Infinite.
