In terms of the story
Spoiler: Click here to toggle spoilerIt just made sense, no matter what Booker did there would always be a reality caused by his actions that would lead to Elizabeth suffering and causing the prophecy to come true. No matter what Booker had to die (or at least appear to we'll wait to see what the DLC has in store) in this case Booker is the tragic hero, in where in order to set things right he must die.
It's fitting to me, I don't see how else they could have wrapped it up.
The first thing that popped in my mind at the end was

when you add time travel into the story it's gonna have a somewhat predictable ending just because there's only a few ways it can go...
Yeah

This is true, this is true, I honestly can't say I saw a twist like that coming before I started the game though so I mean they DID do their job in a way and kept it fresh.

My thoughts on the ending
Spoiler: Click here to toggle spoilerI about freaked being taken back to rapture. But it really got my mind going. Could booker be an alternate version of Ryan? I mean wasn't Ryan the only one able to work those spheres during lockdown? Elizabeth looks like a grown up version of the little sister minus the pinky Lol. I mean what do you guys think? How will the dlc be able to continue after this crazy ending?

Just finished the game and it was amazing! Still letting the ending really sink in, going to be thinking about this for a while.
Spoiler: Click here to toggle spoilerI will say it's sad that the Elizabeth that we know in Infinite will never be. By getting ride of Comstock they also got ride of the Elizabeth we knew in the game. She'll never go to Columbia and experience the things there and become the person she was in the game.
That goes for the

Spoiler: Click here to toggle spoilerYeah you're right about that. I'm mixed on the ending. I think it's a fitting ending, fits the story and the multiple universe/tears thing. But a part of me feels the Irrational Games felt that they had to one up the original Bioshock ending with a bigger or more surprises at the end. (thinking back on it now the realization Elizabeth was Brooker's daughter would've been enough)
It a weird ending for me. In the end I think it's a fitting end for the story, but it will always feel hollow to me. It was nice to see Brooker go from a guy struggling with the guilt of what he did in his past and his hopelessness at redeeming himself. To go from just going to Columbia to take some strange girl to New York for his own selfish reasons, to a guy who grew to care for Elizabeth to the point where he wouldn't allow her to kill Comstock on her own, but to do it for her and to protect her like a father.
It was nice to see Elizabeth grow from a person who had been stuck in a tower with a giant mechanical bird as her only friend to someone who seemed just on the cusp of realizing her dream of freedom and seeing Paris. To someone who experienced killing someone and doing anything to stop Comstock for realizing his dream. It was cool to see her become a thing of hope and redemption for Brooker and it was sad to see all the experience and growth of the characters disappear with that ending.
Yeah that was my main gripe with

I beat it yesterday and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. Not sure if I'm going to go through it again right away or not, either. :/
I will say this-
Spoiler: Click here to toggle spoiler
The ending after the credits where you're back in Booker's apartment didn't seem like a hopeful ending to me or anything like that. Every time Booker died or almost died in the game, he was brought back to that point in his life. So to me that just seemed like his afterlife.
The whole point of killing Booker was to prevent Comstock from happening. The Booker you play as through the entire game never turned into Comstock, though. So that moment should be read more as every Elizabeth from every possible reality killing every Booker from every reality. There could be no Booker after that point, because if one survived and stayed Booker, in another reality one would survive and become Comstock. What Elizabeth did at that point was ensure that in no reality did Booker live past that point. That's why all the other Elizabeths disappeared- because her past no longer forked at that point in Booker's life.
I mean, that's just how I interpreted it, but that's the only possible way I can see even a point in killing Booker to begin with and any kind of resolution because of the time travel/ alternate reality story.
A highlander dlc would be fun.... Travel from reality to reality killing other Bookers... There can be only one!!!
