7 Heroic Video Game Sacrifices That Meant NOTHING
1. Booker DeWitt - Bioshock Infinite
Now for those of you who have played the confusing "what is going on"-em-up that is Bioshock Infinite, you will know that...
*spoiler alert*
You, Booker Dewitt are both the "hero" and "villain" of the story, being both the hard up alcoholic detective and the racist sky tyrant thanks to alternate dimension hopping shenanigans.
Throughout the experience, you will come to learn that it's not just these two versions of "Booker" that exist either and that thanks to a crop of lighthouses as far as the eye can see, there are literally infinite versions of yourself in both good, evil and my favorite aggressive neutral forms out there.
That kinda makes your "heroic sacrifice" at the end of the game at the hands of your own daughter Elizabeth all the more....pointless.
There are infinite versions of Booker out there, and endless permutations of those realities, meaning that while one Booker died to stop Comstock from coming to power, there are literally innumerable other Bookers that failed at this task.
Hell, there are versions of Elizabeth out there that would have sided with Comstock as well, meaning that her quest to stop them all is impossibly pointless and your death is nothing more than a bullet point for the player to end their adventure on.
Hands up, who's falling into the void? Wait for me!
