The 8th Console Generation while having great games is so unremarkably unimpressive compared to the generations prior to it.

I could probably agree with the PS4 and Xbox One (hell, throw the PS5 and Series X in there, even though they aren’t in the same generation, especially since they’re still so limited), but the Switch feels like a culmination of everything Nintendo’s been working towards since they were a playing card company.

I had to look that up as I wasn’t familiar with the numbering.

I got away from consoles by Generation 3.

As someone who has lived his entire life in extremely hot areas of the US, I must say, yay shorts; fuck pants.

Pants only exist for people to cover up that they don’t do leg day.

The Featured Contracts menu is the worst menu in the entire game and deserves filters.

Absolutely. And while the menu for regular contracts has better options, the fact that you still can’t go back to that menu makes contracts mode overall terrible, but yeah, Featured Contracts is appalling.

Thank goodness I only have to do six more of them and then never again unless IOI adds new unlockable challenges to them.

I don’t understand this. I already know what you’re referring to, so why do writers need to italicise every title? It comes off as absurd and pointless to be worth spending the effort. I can understand if the main subject is pertinent to the article (in this case this one was about Bioshock), but not for every title.

I’m trying to grasp what this article is about… cause it’s everywhere in direction. It’s talking about Ken Levine, then goes on to talk about games with generally well received narrative’s. I find it funny how they mention Machine Games Wolfenstein games which is praised for its gameplay, but chastised for it Narrative specifically for the New Colossus and it’s lackluster spinoff Youngblood. Then it goes on to the Dad Game which can basically be it’s own subgenre.

But if this article is about Bioshock and it potentially coming back. I’ll just say this now Bioshock works best as a anthology based series set in Rapture. Infinite and Ken Levines writing is overly convoluted and Burial at Sea only complicated it by trying to tie it all up with Bioshock. Rapture is a very large place with plenty of stories to tell. That should be evident with Bioshock 2 which is a good sequel (and a “Dad” game as well).

All and all the article was pretty lackluster to begin with. It tries to deduce a presented argument in an analytic sense, but then abruptly ends with a speculative question. I thought that going by the title alone was an attempt to compose an analytically philosophical motif.

Especially with what I currently know of Bioshock and its memetic tendency to be regarded as apolitical when it reality it was the opposite of that.

Maybe this isn’t unpopular per se but eerie easter eggs in regular videogames are way more scary than actual horror games. Horror games force the player into a scary situation; you know how you’re going to feel. Scary easter eggs catch you off guard and do mostly a better job at making an impression since it breaks through your regular gameplay pattern.
