Since "What is your favorite game of all time" topics seem to pop up here so often, I thought I'd make one of my own. But, I felt like adding alittle twist to it.
To quote Yahtzee, "I've yet to play a perfect game", and no matter how much you may love a given game, there are bound to be flaws.
So, this topic is about embracing our favorite games, both the good and the bad bits.
For me, my favorite game of all time has to be Bioshock. The setting, the atmosphere, the gameplay, the story, it all mixes together to create a truly wonderful experience. But, it's far from perfect.
The moral choice system is the biggest one. In theory, it's supposed to make each encounter with a Little Sister a dilemma, in which you have to choose between her life and your own well-being... but in practice, there's no real difference gameplay-wise between the good and evil paths, and story-wise, it doesn't really make a difference until the very end of the game.
Speaking of which, the endings (both of them), kinda suck. Not horrible, but alittle focus (i.e., no moral choice system), probably could have helped.
The invention system is also a bit of a wasted opportunity, as aside from one or two inventable items, it's mostly unneeded.
And, without spoiling anything, did Bioshock REALLY need an escort quest in there? Really?
And that's my personal beef with Bioshock. So, what are your favorite games, and your issues with them?
(Before anyone makes a comment, no, I didn't forget the hacking minigame. I honestly never had an issue with it. Alittle flow-breaking, I'll admit, but not nearly as bad as some other minigames.)
, need more freedom, would make a great sand box game though.
