    Idk, I like Bioshock as a setting and for dunking on Ayn Rand, but as a game it’s kind of an offensively poor facsimile of the first System shock =)

    They used to make good games though, like I enjoyed the reboot Prince of Persias and all, but Assassin’s Creed kind of layed the groundwork for their open world trash era. I’d also rather have a game that looks like Chaos Theory or Double Agent than the first Assassin’s Creed’s goofy blue filter all over it. AC does at least have better politics than a chud shooter, and I can appreciate some Fuck The Church sentiment.

    Crouch was so desperately needed, why did that take them so long? I really liked Unity’s big crowds that would panic and disperse, it felt like more of a challenge than just hiring courtesans or monks in AC 1 or 2. I really felt that Unity is the only time they did any of this right, and then they ditched it a year later because lol
