there's something to be said about how the protagonist from Bioshock 1 is a genetic slave with no functional identity, yet completely destroys a supposedly individualist utopia

i've never quite figured that out, but Ken Levine is a goofball. At least he knows libertarianism is gibberish and that American nationalism is racist to its core

After the next two games, doubt

and that American nationalism is racist to its core

but overthrowing it is at least as bad centrist

I don't think Levine had anything to do with 2, but Infinite's writing sucked ass and 2 is arguably a better story than the original lmao

For some reason I thought he had something to do with We Happy Few too, but I guess that was just me mixing up sophomoric on the nose disappointments and assuming he had something to do with it

My mistake, then. If it matters, I hated Infinite most of all, and it was no contest.

I hope their new game is more coherent. It looks decent.
