modern games]] comparison ...
Alluding to the Degradation of Gameplay that was in Infinite BS
There was not enough interesting content (from the writers), so the Game has to String the Player along with routine/tedious interface interactions ('Manic Magpie' Looting, Linear Maze, Arena Battles ... )
??? At least has a 'surprise' factor ??? ( Sorry, the generic unknown is nothing exceptional )

Adjustments
I think the Natural Camoflage Tonic (in BS1) made the game too easy - Able to hide so to ambush or to avoid the Flybot Security Alerts ( duck around a corner and just don't move for 60 seconds ... )
Without it, the Player would have had to be more creative in their actions to handle all those avoided things. Semi-Stealth to let Splicers walk to close and/or 'pass you by'.
Perhaps they could Make it less reliable ( like it doesn't activate/succeed everytime ) or needs recharging or something

Setting/Themes of Infinite BS
Up in the Sky like heaven (Heavenly)
For the game, 'Pretty' Artistry was possible -- all the sunlight, puffy clouds
Separated from the rest of humanity (make it whatever they wanted without reality intruding)
The Modern World is connected, and Utopias have to be distanced from interference (isolated)
The levitation quantum stuff is just a Mcguffin (something just to facilitate the plot)
The Society that forms is the story center
Science vs Belief was discarded ( a luddites vs technology story setting)
 the weird (exaggerated) catholic-like (but not) cult religion vs the minimalisms of protestants
 the Idolatry (created 'saints' from non-religious figures)
Crony Capitalism
Police State to support the ruling regime
?? Individualism vs the Collective
family vs larger society
advancement vs reactionary ism
***too many themes rammed together made the games storyline too much
Politics Nationalism that excludes the originating nation, and is worshipped
Confederate vs Abolitionist (created equal vs serfdom)

General lack of 'coffee' machines in the various restaurants and 'Bistros' ( saw big ones in the Fleet Hall Theater Concession Area (We see coffee thermos's frequently, so where does the contents for those come from ?? )
Even if real Coffee became rare ( and synthetics proved ineffectual ), Tea can be made from large numbers of other plant materials, and hot water for soups and other consumables would still be a reason for the equipment to still be present.

The carbon incandescent (“hot hairpin in a bulb”) began to replace gaslights in 1901 for most urban consumers (else where ther WAS little electric power available). Of course with FANTASY, Power from quantumz can be the excuse??? 
So early Columbia was lit with pixie dust?? Gas works need coal or whatever fuel for steam powered generators -- all have to come from somewhere, and the facility BE somewhere, AND the pipes/wires have to be EVERYWHERE

What Father Comstock may have labeled 'Whores of Babylon headed for the Fires of Damnatio (he's stuck on 1893 -- after almost 20 years of changes to society down below).
Meanwhile drinking and carousing (and SMOKING) went on IN HIS Floating Eden/Heaven (which is hard to rationalize that with intense cultish 'religion' supposedly running the place, which is embedded in a significantly influential part of the population).
The game authors apparently didn't have the fortitude to show (or even hint at) Columbia's Red light District (and the likely inmates who most likely populated it - Daisy Fitzroys fisrt profession there ? ).

Because of the impaired transmission of radio waves thru water, some deep submersibles communicate with their support ships via sonar/hydrophone (using sound waves). The 'bathyspheres'/submarines Rapture employs would have a similar problem and require a similar communication solution.

All this technical detail (on this here Wiki) serves to demonstrate that it is possible to make a BioShock MMORPG more (or better) Science Fiction based, instead of the original Solo game's dodgy/unexplained game whizz-bang/flashy features/game-mechanics, or such realistic qualities being a lesser-priority to the game maker who is seeks no further than a gimicky Shooter-Fest Slaughter game.
(( Infinite BS is pretty hopeless (unless you want the whole city to be a impossibly large hydrogen-filled dirigible/mass of balloons). The Superconductor float effect (which they turned into this 'quantum particle' fantasy) requires a magnet system a hundred times the weight of the floating superconductor object (which BTW has to be at least 200 degrees below zero), and can hardly float more than six inches above the laboratory mechanism that science trick is done with. ))

Character Game Props - The 'Magic Girl' :
Elizabeth, Little Sisters, Eleanor - all being the Classic Fables 'magic girl'. The first Little Sisters were largely invulnerable (bullet fire/explosions/etc...), until when 'Harvested' you did some unspeakable act upon them, which had to be hidden away by that green mist.
The designers wimped out, so the above 'Companion' NPCs were made invulnerable -- So the Player lost any need for concern of protecting them in the games' numerous shooting-spree "battles" (missing out on yet more playing variety/challenge/tactical behavior interest). 
Lost also was the replay potential of trying to get 'the girl' into problematic situations to see how well their behavior-programming handled the various hazards (or getting "X is Dead, YOU FAIL!!!" ). Of course, that would have required sophisticated NPC AI programming, which wasn't really in those games (no matter how much the game maker's touting their so-called 'advances' or 'scripting').

add to Main_Page]]
Speculation (This Wiki Has It) :
There has to be alot of Speculation about the (real) BioShock games' actual Rapture, because so much is left vague or unexplained in them. And WE HAVE TO SPECULATE because so much the Player is given, when put together, does not make much sense -- for what Rapture and Ryan were-supposed/needed/had to be. 
Making their presentation Vague can be a game-producers strategy to avoid completeness, to save effort on actual work producing the game (Budgets, Skills, Time - all are limited). Being Spotty and Vague also can save on requiring ALOT more effort trying to get all the (more complicated/intricate) expanded details to be COHESIVE (even within just one game, if not yet further with a sequels and DLC additions).
The evidence seen in the BS1 game had been warped to force a particular plot sequence (which likely existed first). Particularly with BS1's "Twist", most of what they presented (the Audio Diary backstory) and the omissions (anything contrary to the forced story) was to reinforce the big-lie/hidden-truth (Atlas is the Bad Guy Fontaine). Because contrary Audio Diaries and explanations from Ryan directly to give you an alternate view were missing most Players who cared had little to make them think what really might have happened.
* You never go off the prearranged path, so details (even hints) about the rest of Rapture can be left spotty (it is tertiary to you primary game activities anyway). 
* Biased Audio Diaries are mostly from Ryan's detractors (we really don't hear the other side from a likely majority WHO WOULD have supported Ryan against Terrorists)
* You never get much to tell you that virtually everything you hear from Atlas is a lie.
*A Scenes are unexplained, leaving you only to interpret them from the vague/distorted things you've already seen/been lied to about. ie- The hanging scene at Apollo Square ??? Who did it ?? "Gene Traitor" DOESN'T sound like something Ryan would say, does it? Atlas killing Ryan supporters now that he's in Power ??? -- did you possibly think that ?? (YOU are left swinging maybe with the wrong conclusion - there's no proof Ryan actually did it). 
We are SHOWN Fontaine is evil. So that explains that so much of all else we saw was caused by his sociopathy. No clear that Ryan/Capitalism/Individualism likely shouldn't be to blame for the disaster that happened to Rapture. VAGUE AGAIN is the lack of seeing most of the Social Mechanisms that Ryan's society would have needed to exist AT ALL. Those unfortunately would get in the way of the rather forced plot (and thus were Verboten). But with imagination and better writing that COULD have been handled/fit-in to make for a far better story. (( Versus The Game Story Writing being MORE just a simplton game writer's contrivance. ))
The weak second half of BS1 could have been improved by explaining how much you really had been lied to about things (Fooled - Believing what you are told out of ignorance .. Now THAT'S Socially Relevant, Kennyboy !!! No ?) Add to that, add getting of some contrary evidence in the first half to What ALL you were being force-fed (now remembered), that THERE could be explained ... Having YOU potentially distrust Atlas from the start could have added another dimension to the game : Watching as his lies escalated, YOU wondering what was the truth, YOU wondering what his Agenda was, some hints about what that truth was ...
As this is supposed to be a Dystopia setting it has been clumsily FORCED into a Failtopia and omitting what should have been there in THAT Society. I can Speculate because I know more than a little about how societies HAVE to work, and thus know what was missing. Maybe the game-makers really DIDN'T want/care to make the Player think a little (but wasn't that what they said over and over ???) did they assume most Players likely wouldn't care, and might only need a pretty setting to shoot things in ?? 
The games combat was so-so, the story rather simplistic and weak and forced. It was the concept of Rapture and its Society that was the big thing. To bad we had to see only a vague, foggy, myopic shooter-game view of it.

Audio Diary Analysis : "ADAM Explained" :
Brigid Tenenbaum, BS1, Farmer's Market : "ADAM acts like a benign cancer, destroying native cells and replacing them with unstable stem versions. While this very instability is what gives it its amazing properties, it is also what causes the cosmetic and mental damage. You need more and more ADAM just to keep back the tide. From a medical standpoint, this is catastrophic. From a business standpoint, well... Fontaine sees the possibilities."

The Genetic Disruption of modifying tissue in the users body becomes more and more chaotic.
Accumulatuions of Partially-conflicting RNA/DNA make this progressively worse. 
The body tries to reassert its own ORIGINAL DNA, which causes breakdown of any introduced modification (Like a tissue rejection/immunilogical response and perhaps partial immunity/resistance - making th e treatment less effective, thus requiring larger doses)
The impact gets more severe the more complex/extensive the genetic modifications are (more complicated the more to go wrong and more precisely the modifications have to be maintained).

Evidence in game to support this
All the Newspapers shown in BaSx (nor vaguaries in BS1) gave NO indicator of recurring/significant Terrorist attacks/activity (to support the elevation of tensions or position of 'Atlas', or the need for security devices).

Iconoscope (Earlier TV Camera Tube) :
investigate (^^^ may be dup)
what type was used at 1936 olympics ?
digitized ? clever using a circuit (an engineer who later went insane)

Check if point was made that the Mk2 AE Stations had no need for the 'dip' in their airlocks/track (as seen on the Mk1 type in BS2 where you descend as to enter the airlock and go into the water).

Its simply a wrong assumption made by the artists/designers (assuming the inside is ALWAYS AT nearly the same pressure as the water outside - its unneeded and a waste). They dropped that idea early in the BS1 games development.

Rapture Society]]
"The Silent Generation" :
The people (coming into their majority) during WW2
??????? by Rapture's start time age 45-50 (60-65 by start of Chaos)
Were they called 'silent' because most of them didn't whine all the time like later welfare hounds did ???
Who coined that term or when it became popular ? in sixties

"Project Bluebook" was the official UFO investigation by the US military in the late 40s and early 50s.
Likely Ryan had a bit to do with 'feeding' it to help build cover stories for various aspects of Rapture's Construction and immigration.

^^^ verify from the novel
Ryan]] Retroactive Identity - According to Levine 2015
So Andrew Ryan has been revised by Levine and now is supposed to be a cutout American Jew Immigrant, who rejects (an atheist) Judaism in every way ? A jew in descent only, used to supposedly (retroactively) give diversity and authenticity to (Levine produced) computer games, which mostly deal with killing things (adding in to other cutout minorities).
Consider : The majority of the deranged/evil/maniacal characters in BioShock ALREADY seem to be 'Jewish'. This is not overly complementary, and itself might seem a bit more like one kind of overcompensation ? The BioShock character set also was hardly a paragon of 'diverstity'. Retroactively adding yet another 'jew' labeled character to that cast is now what ... "diversity"???
Diverse ('Authentic Diversity') ? Where are the Eskimos, Ethiopians, Autralian Aboriginals, there Levine ???
Hasn't Levine learned after that last game (Infinite BS) that Players don't want smarmy/preachy 'social relevancy', but they rather want competant combat action ???
