User blog comment:Unownshipper/Can "Burial at Sea" be counted as canon?/@comment-27060741-20151010040105

To understand what is wrong with Bioshock : Burial At Sea you must understand the ending of Bioshock : Infinite. At the end Booker realized what he could become and what he did to his daughter. He sacrificed his life to make sure it never happened and to reverse what had been done to her. Columbia, Songbird, Founders, Vox Populi, and Siphon never exist because they were created by Zachary Comstock. Elizabeth doesn't disappear because she was created by Booker Dewitt.



Where does this leave  Bioshock : Burial At Sea? In a very bad position actualy. Zachary Comstock was never born, so there should be no rouge Comstock in rapture. At the end of Bioshock : Infinite there's only one Elizabeth standing. Where does the second Elizabth come from and how is there a body in the corner if there was only one Elizabeth? If columbia never existed how is Elizabeth able to travel through the Tear Machine to Columbia?



At the end of a day we can say this, Bioshock : Burial At Sea isn't canon because too many plot holes and inconsistencies. Irational games was trying to wrap up their biggest hit and give us an ending to the series but instead gave us work that was fan fiction quality and left a sour taste in our mouths for all three Bioshock games. At the end of the day it was the Star Wars : Phantom Menace of the Bioshock trilogy. I'll play the main game and enjoy it but it will be more difficult to play it without thinking of the Burial At Sea.
