==Lets Work On This Idea To Try To Make The Game Less Fantasy==
HYPE - Something Said 'To Sell' A Product - Often Misleading ...
Hype : What some things are SAID to be able to do, Is NOT exactly what they can do.
( A reality for very many things advertised )
Unfortunately, There Was : Too Much Talk, Not Enough Doing by Levine & Co.

LET THE BUYER BEWARE -- All Very True *TODAY* :
Things were being SOLD in Rapture. And as we see in our Our World, all kinds of Products have 'all kinds of things' promised about them. LET THE BUYER BEWARE (caveat emptor) was one of the Rapture Philosophy's maxims - (( Perhaps EVEN MORE IMPORTANT AND TRUE *NOW* TODAY. ))
Of course, nothing will save clap-trap Infinite BS - without a complete REDO ( It Still Has Potential If done even Halfway Right ).
Plasmids Being More Physiological (( Please no Psi Powers - look how that magic crutch ruined/diminished Infinite BS )) Plasmid Psi Powers - NOT - "Just the Tissue Ma'am, Only the Tissue ..."
Vita-Chambers - Another game mechanism that pushed things to be TOO FANTASY
The Thinker Not really AI - Computers were amazing enuf back then - BUT Think more of what the "Wizard Of Oz" 'wizard' really was (largely faked). Tours Daily ... Even with the Bio-Electronics I've contrived, the processing/programming would fall well short of any AI ( which we really don't have even today ). If the makers of these games can barely think logically, Then how is a fricken machine made out of vacuum tubes supposed to ??? 
Fontaines Empire - Just putting your names on things doesn't really mean you were the one who made them.
Fontaines Mall - Stupendous thing for that bad Gianourmousized DLC
YOU (The Player) ARE A MASSIVE ADAM USER - Game Perceptions ... ADAM_Addled
Once People started taking ADAM, they were ready to fall for the brainshit/lies Atlas and Sofia Lamb 'were selling'. (( "Fontaine's Poison" (ADAM) likely caused disabling effects leading to many of those 'Poor' people that Ryan is blamed for. ))
Atlas is marketing his 'Welfare State' - When he really has No Solution ( and is only trying to stir up trouble ). Leaving Rapture to return to The Surface World might be the only semi-sane thing he could offer them.
.
ULTIMATELY : The game itself 'implying things' which don't add up - but a good way to manufacture a 'villain' (Ryan) when the Player is forced/manipulated to follow the directions of the REAL villain (Atlas). Such manipulations were done to force that "I AM YOUR FATHER" and "FONTAINE/ATLAS IS SVENGALI" 'Twist' Reveal in the story ( Occurring with 1/3rd of the game still left to play - A Fairly Anti-Climctic Ending ).

The Thinker would be a good example of 'Hype' ... " A Thinking Computer" etc ... "Faster than Thought" ...
With tours through Minervas Den being shown that big whatever it was 'Core' thing.

A Bit Hypocritical ?
With the negatively portrayed Capitalist/Commercial Nature of Rapture, isn't it rather Funny that Levine & Co did exactly the same thing themselves for this game - to sell it ???Hypocrisy is Legion. An excuse heard is : "That EVERYBODY DOES IT" ... So fricken lame. ... HYPING their game in so many ways - Making Such Big Promises. (( For Infinite, showing things in Promotional Trailers the Gamemakers KNEW couldn't be delivered - that was simply reprehensible. ))
