Worse, because Ken Levine is a big baby who wanted to smash all the toys he was about to lose.

Don't buy the Infinite DLC.

Like I don't hate Infinite (it's a pretty interesting story about cycles of violence that tries to sell itself as being about racism and falls flat on its rear end in the process) but that DLC is gaaaaaarbage.

Remember how Ken Levine was like "actually Bioshock is about how victims become abusers" when no one in the loving world but him got that from the first game?

It gets worse while also retroactively making the main game's story worse.

I mean, if you're a libertarian shitstain to begin with, I can totally see how you would look at Ryan's origin story and think he was "a victim".

But it does mean I'll think less of you as a person.

i mean, if you squinted really hard and did some drugs and had someone smack you in the head with a skillet, you could maybe draw that kind of conclusion from how Ryan ends up being just as much of a petty dictator over Rapture as the surface-dwelling politicians he claimed to despise and demonize

but yeah, it's still kind of a stretch

So yeah, being tortured for an extended period of time, probably starved, being psychologically broken, lacking sleep, etc. means you can still beat up a guy who was beating your rear end this whole time.

Ghoul basically stole the grittiest elements of every mainstream popular shonen of the last 10 years and mashed them together by committee

It's bad but not in a novel way, it has no loving soul
