But once again, that comes across as throwing out every known scifi story because the majority of it is not enough hard science to be real. Science fiction may be inspired by scientific themes or theories of science, but its usually more fictional than just something as grounded as a space shuttle or an Andromeda strain-like virus. Stuff like time machines, teleportation, matter converter rays, or even a superpowered psychic mutant have barely been proven or even been seen as real, but their ability and their concepts have otherwise been a part of science fiction for decades, and most have inspired on how they could or couldn't work, or what better methods that would come close to some possibility. So BioShock Infinite isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, for either being flawed or not up to the first game's pedestal. But then, most people feel that way about the BioShock games, especially those who play System Shock 2.
