I remember Bioshock being kind of the first vanguard of the "games are art" movement in the late 2000s and looking back on it man that's embarrassing. I played the remastered version in 2021 and while it's an alright FPS with light RPG elements with decent writing for 2007 it's absolutely not what I would prop up for games-as-art.

I played BI at launch from start to finish and I didn't really like the game all that much but I hated the ending. It's the only game I've ever beaten and traded in the same day. Seeing all the praise for it made me feel like I was insane. Even today I talk to people who say it's one of their favorite games but none of them have played it since launch and near everyone who does completely turns on it

Pretty much the only thing I remember about Infinite at this point is that it took the main innovation of Bioshock 2, wielding both a weapon and a plasmid at the same time, and demoted plasmids to an extra button that still puts your weapon down for a bit, for no discernible reason.

Didn't Braid end with "what if Mario is actually the bad guy" or am I wildly misremembering that?

NieR Occomata posted:

This weird revisionist history about Ragnarok being mediocre is just not true. It’s a loving great game with great combat, engaging characters, a well-told and enthralling story, incredible side content that is also told and engaged with supremely well in the game, great acting and dialog, and most importantly is a game that actually has a worldview and perspective and is unafraid to express it.

Again, I’m not joking, the entire game is one long dissection and reflection on post-Trump America and rejective of the brainrot that has seeped into the Democratic Party starting around the West Wing. It specifically and resoundingly rejects shithead centrist pragmatism, the shrugging “I mean, what can you do? Maybe he’ll grow into the job, and besides, we just don’t have the numbers to do anything” excuse-ridden apologia that characterizes modern democratic thought. It rejects the mantra of “a better world isn’t possible”, it highlights and exults in idealism over pragmatism, and at all turns it reinforces its belief that revolution is both possible and done on the front lines and not with Sorkin-rear end “How dare you sir!” speeches. And again, this is all being done in a game starring a bald angry dude with a head on his belt. It is a fearless game with perspective and is unafraid to actually form a coherent political opinion, which makes it all the more insane it got published without edits by fuckin’ Sony of all people.
