Why did they put a puzzle as the first thing you do in this game?
>>731057397it's thought provoking game design for intelligent gamersyou wouldn't understand
this is like some meta joke about skyrims golden claw puzzle

I remember being so excited coming off of bioshock 1 and 2 to this, then this puzzle immediately giving me a feeling of whiplash and foreboding. It was like I couldn't shake that only a team full of fucking morons would put something like that right in the opener of their AAA game. And I finished that faggy piece of shit. I saved all the heroic sassy black people, I killed the evil white racists, I apologized for being male to Elizabeth as she scoffed knowingly at me and saved me. And I saw that shitbag ending. I think this was the very first experience of the word "pozzed" I have ever felt in my life.

1. (Flimsy) reason to explain away why any random shmuck couldn't stumble into Columbia2. Meta shit. It is the 122nd time Booker has gone through the loop
>>731059094I don't remember it being that bad, isn't the final big fight against the nonwhite communists? Are there multiple paths or something and I got the less pozzed one? The way I remember it is it kinda does an "actually everyone is the bad guy" twist which is probably less interesting and a little cowardly from a nonpolitical, just on the merits of the storytelling perspective, but I prefer that they did it that way instead of sticking to being completely leftist/racialistalso the ending is fucking retarded, I like abstract trippy shit that isn't supposed to make complete realistic sense but just being that by itself isn't an excuse to be retarded
