TLOU easily. Bioshock Infinite was amazing but like others said, the game's story was kind of convoluted at times and dragged on near the middle. The gameplay was average at best. The atmosphere and world was engrossing and I was extremely happy with the graphics(PC).

TLOU though I still think about it even weeks after I beat it. I still am moved. I forgot about Infinite a day later. I was watching my boy play TLOU and I was still loving the cutscenes.



Exactly. Any game where you stop and go

is the goat. Meanwhile, I'm on the final sequence of BI and I literally just want this shyt to wrap up because its just annoying, horde status now. Didn't feel that way about TLOU. Engaging from start to finish

Carried over from IGN. I'm about done with BI but I can safely say tlou is by far goty so far. While bioshock has an immersive, beautiful world, the gameplay/shooting mechanics are repetitive and the story drags in the middle. TLOU has an engaging story and characters off the bat. It also has a damn good combat and stealth/cover system. Also, the A.I is very good and not repetitive like BI. Whats your goty so far?
BI is a half wack game.

Overdid the racism/classism stuff to cover up the fact the story wasn't that good.


:mjcry: Just beat TLOU for the first time.

BioShock Infinite had the better story but TLOU is the better game by far

For those who had trouble getting Bioshock Infinite's ending, he's a quote from a youtube commenter explaining the whole thing:

SN: horneddragon

The game focuses on the alternate universe theory, meaning that every possible decision continues to exist and progress in a separate dimension. The 'important' split happens at Booker's baptism after the Wounded Knee massacre. In one timeline, he is baptized and receives the new name Zachary Hale Comstock, then going on to become a religious fanatic and founding Columbia and marrying Lady Comstock. In 'our' Booker's timeline, he backs out of the baptism at the last second, believing that it would not cleanse him of his sins. He spirals into depression, debt and gambling/alcohol addiction, eventually fathering a child name Anna. Meanwhile, Comstock is experimenting with opening tears between dimensions/timelines with the help of Rosalind Letuce.

However, the experimentation has resulted in changes to his appearance, and more importantly rendered him sterile, making him incapable of producing an heir to rule Columbia after his death. Comstock is frantic for an heir of his own flesh and blood, eventually coming upon Anna and Booker from our timeline. Rosalind Letuce contacts Robert Letuce (Robert is the version of her in our timeline) to set up the deal with Booker - "Bring us the girl, and wipe away the debt." Desperate, Booker agrees to the deal. He brings Anna to the tear between the two timelines with Comstock and the Letuces. He changes his mind at the last minute, causing in a heated fight for the baby which results Anna's pinkie being sliced off as Comstock and the Letuces escape with her. Booker is outraged at himself and brands 'AD' (Anna DeWitt) on his hand in self-guilt.

Comstock renames her Elizabeth, and it is found that she has tear-opening powers, likely from the fact that she is in two dimensions at once, as her pinkie is still in Booker's timeline. Comstock wants to keeps the event of Anna's arrival a secret to the citizens of Columbia as he believes to would cause uproar. Lady Comstock refuses to believe the origin of Elizabeth/Anna, instead convinced that she is the b*stard child of Comstock and Rosalind Letuce. Lady Comstock locks away Elizabeth in the tower. Terrified that she would reveal Anna's origins, he kills his wife and pins the Daisy Fitzroy, the leader of a group against Comstock's rule.

He also conspires to silence the Letuces with the help of Jeremiah Fink by sabotaging the dimension-opening machine while the 'twins' are inside. However, this causes the Letuces to 'exist in all dimensions at once' when the machine shuts down, granting them the power to go anywhere in time and space as shown in the game. Comstock creates a siphon machine in Elizabeth's tower to harness her powers, and also builds the Songbird in order to protect and keep Elizabeth from escaping. There are theories floating around that the Songbird is another Booker from another timeline, which is the cause of Songbird's protective behavior/bond with Elizabeth.

The Letuces later decide to assist Booker in retrieving his daughter, as they feel that their actions have been wrong and are going against the rules of the universe. Comstock discovers their alliance with Booker, and begins putting up 'False Shepard' propaganda in an effort to stop him. When Booker enters Comstock's dimension, the changing of universes causes some weird stuff to happen to his mind, which in short results in him forgetting events from his original timeline such as selling Anna, and causes his brain to associate the 'Bring us the girl, and wipe away the debt.' with his mission to rescue Elizabeth.

The events of the game happen, and Elizabeth realizes that Booker is Comstock, and the only way to stop the whole fiasco of Columbia is to kill the problem at its root - Booker's baptism. The Elizabeths drowning Booker causes all possible timelines after that moment to end, resulting in the Elizabeths fading away as they never existed in the first place. However, the aftercredits scene of Booker trying to find Anna suggests that at least one timeline of Booker and Anna has managed to continue existing

I played TLOU first and I like it better, but bioshock was fun as hell.

Same dude voiced Booker and Joel though and so the whole time I was playing bioshock all I could hear was Joel

Big Daddies were a hell of a lot easier to fight in Bioshock than those Handymen in Infinite :why:
