That’s fiction, because no one in their right mind would ever allow something like that to exist in the real world.

I had to stop playing BioShock because of how the Little Sisters react to being “saved.” I can’t do it. I want to love this game and get through the story but when they start saying, no, no. No no no “ I just can’t.
Skipping Bioshock is probably for the best. It felt cool and subversive 20 years ago. But it's just:
What if Ayn Rand's vision of the future looked extremely cool as fuck—like, hella tight, the absolute sickest vibe you can imagine—and we did some superficial criticism of it? We are very intelligent and progressive liberal devs.
Bioshock is one of my favorite games ever, how dare you describe it this accurately
I was mainly in it for the gameplay. And the setting was cool. Always thought the story was a little superficial. Like, hey newcomer, have all these super powers and undo the bad stuff our people caused, fight monsters — like, was all this available to everyone who lived there? No wonder your shit's broken, you built a city underwater and sold superpowers in vending machines, what did you think was gonna happen? And then the big guys with big drill arms, that's a great thing to let loose in an underwater city. I'm sure the Big Daddies came later. Maybe. Or they were suits for mining but then why are there so damn many of them? I dunno. It was weird.
I remember getting to a garden, if that makes any sense. Like a "Garden of" something. Never played the second one, played a bit of Infinite.
Just play System Shock 2 which is a much better game and a real RPG to boot
What makes a real RPG?
Not trying to be hostile, but a friend of mine and I were having this discussion a couple weeks ago. I said Fallout 3 and Deus Ex (1) were RPGs. He said he didn't think of them that way, he thought of them as shooters first. We had different opinions about the labels, but we mostly agree on what we like to play.
I guess you could argue Deus Ex 1 and and System Shock 2 are FPS-RPG hybrids but Fallout 3 is objectively an RPG by most metrics. Maybe he only considers isometric games where you click on skeletons RPGs
That's why I like infinite more despite the reactionary politics.
