10 Resolutions Gaming's Heroes Need To Keep

4. Booker DeWitt €“ Quit Gambling

Bioshock: Infinite has one of the most exhilarating and mind-bending stories of all time; everything from battling crazed Republicans and Democrats on a floating city to tearing into multiple dimensions to uncovering family secrets all lead to an ending that left us speechless for days. When you trace everything back to the beginning though you realise that Booker€™s gambling addiction is what truly kicked all these events in motion. It€™s right there in the tagline for crying out loud: €œBring us the girl, wipe away the debt€. Here€™s another disturbing implication though; provided we€™re not fighting meticulous quantum mechanics and just accepting the story as written, Booker isn€™t entirely out of the woods yet. Sure it€™s heavily implied that he has Anna back but it doesn€™t mean squat if he hasn€™t fought off his gambling demons. For all we know Bioshock: Infinite ended with Booker getting Anna back, running to a casino, and betting on red. For her sake I hope not; hopefully Booker comes to his senses and quits gambling cold turkey.
