      I was thinking just that. Varrick's BS shenanigans were at least fun to play. Of course I was questioning a lot of things before the end of that rather short section. So even if "realism" is not a big part of the game it is far more likely that someone will believe a lie if the lie doesn't aggrandize the teller. Even more so if it makes them look like a bit of a scrub. Doesn't mean that it is fun to play though.

    I personally liked the Little Sister section, being somewhat interested in psychology, it was interesting to see the world through somebody else's eyes, and it makes you think about how the Little Sisters might see other things, like being harvested... Also, there's the question of why we can see the real world at certain intervals, example, when we pick up the Big Sister parts, Harvesting the Angels, and being attacked, although it's probably just the fact that two different perceptions of Rapture are clashing against each other, and what would happen if Delta was controlling the Little Sister for too long, would one die, or would the two perceptions merge into a strange view of Rapture? But I digress.

      @@GraphiteGrin Don't worry, I don't not like Infinite because of the racism (same goes for Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and especially Youngblood when compared to The New Order+The Old Blood... long story on that). It's because of the dry writing of its Multiversal angles and a lack of meaningful choice decisions, a willful ignorance of BioShock 2's existence (not unlike how Homeworld 2 ignores Cataclysm/Emergence; really hope 3 remedies this flaw), some strange character changes (why the heck does Suchong sound more Asiatic than he was in BioShock 1; I liked that Suchong more), and the gameplay being both way easier and way frustrating (for the latter, there are no quicksaves, which can be problematic if you're on a long level and you need a break or somehow die).

      @@michaelandreipalon359 Personally, I liked the multiversal approach of Bioshock, constants and variables, it's not like other franchises (Ex: Marvel) where everything can be different. Two, although yea, there are no choices that influence the ending, there are still meaningful choices although they have no product, with the example of letting your hand get stabbed and having it patched up, I kept on thinking about that choice till near the end of the game. Three, why would a game reference another game that's only set in the same multiverse, not universe, plus, you never know how the Sea of Doors might be, (I haven't watched it) but like Rick and Morty, where the universes where Rick is the smartest are grouped together, the universes where Bioshock 2 happens might be in a different part of the multiverse, also, Elizabeth and Booker were (at least somewhat) surprised by a city beneath the ocean, so no duh they wouldn't know about Delta, and four, once again, different universe, plus, who knows what happens behind the scenes during production. Also, what about quicksaves? Are you referencing another game? Are we still taking about Bioshock Infinite?

      @michaelandreipalon359 7 місяців тому +1

      @@GraphiteGrin Yes, but the charm about Multiverse Theory is that it's extremely variable, and that different choices can lead to many different outcomes. Infinite sorely wastes a lot on that and just goes on a weird tangent on how your sacrifice shall prevent more Comstocks from existing... *they do realize that there'll be worlds where the sacrifice never happens, if not never does jack s**t?* There's a reason why Owlman said "It doesn't matter" in the end of honorary DC Animated Universe movie Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, for his actions have automatically created universes where he succeeded and failed and in-between.

    I have to bring up Gobi from the first Breath of Fire. The party gets stranded on an island after a shipwreck, and you take control of a fish-person named Gobi to walk to an underwater town, followed by a longer trip to a second town, and the back to the first town before you get the item that will allow the rest of the party to breathe underwater so they can continue their questing. The catch is the Gobi has to make this trip completely alone, and he's greatly outclassed by every enemy he runs into in all the underwater areas, which can reliably defeat Gobi in two hits and are fast enough to keep him from running away. What this means is that if you trip over an underwater random encounter before getting the party back, you're nearly guaranteed to find yourself watching Gobi faceplant during the fight, and warped to an inn with half your money missing.

    FIRST thing I thought of when I saw the title: The Ratchet & Clank game series. Generally you're Ratchet, rather athletic, a bevy of weapons starting with a surprisingly effective melee weapon in the form of a giant wrench, to a collection of devices with strange functions, a collection which grows as you play more. But every now and then you take control of Clank, who generally can only walk (SLOWER) around smaller spaces and not do much, and if there's enemies (it HAS been over 10 years since I played any, memories fuzzy) you have to avoid them, you are unarmed. And honourary mention to the missions where Ratchet is without Clank, losing some of your abilities - the dash, the double jump, and controlled fall/float down, to name I think all of them. You don't notice how much you use them until you don't have them, LOL!

      It was definitely a learning curve getting used to him but honestly I played better with V than I did with Nero or Dante. Only character I've ever gotten max style rank with (though I did play the older games when I was much younger and more prone to button mashing).

    Takes me back the the ps2 era FF7 the Dirge of Cerberus You play as Vincent Valentine through most of the game in this shoot em up but, suddenly without warning SURPRISE! you're the tiny CAIT SITH doing a terrible impression of a stealth game. This was the only time I nearly broke my controller out of frustration.

    Another Mass Effect one, at the end of Andromeda you are forced to play as the other Ryder twin, a lv 1 character, the disparity in power is really funny and really frautrating on Insanity.

      As someone who really likes peanuts, with or _without_ chocolate, I also disagree! The chocolate in Snickers is _not_ good! And the caramel is fairly bland as well. The only good part of a Snickers is the peanuts, and those can be found in many other, better, confections.

      I used to really like them, but I was forced to drop all chocolate for a while as part of a reset diet. All the corporate candies I've tried since taste oddly waxy and dissatisfying.
      Same happened with sodas. The real sugar ones are fantastic, and drinks with glucose syrup are okay, but there's something seriously wrong about high fructose corn syrup. Simultaneously too sweet and not sweet at all, and somehow they encourage drinking way too much.

    In Arnored Core 6 there's one mission where you're forced to use a hilariously underpowered pre-built mech instead of your highly customized killing machine.

    Not sure it counts because "pathetically weak" depends heavily on how you played before, how you levelled and how you equipped your crew, but in both Knights of the Old Republic games there are times where you have to solo with one specific crewmate, rather than your trusty and well-trained (and well-equipped) Jedi and their trusty main group.

    Not weak characters per se, but from Stormblood's post-launch patches, MSQ frequently requires you to play as other Scions for a brief segment. Then came endwalker, where one segment shoves you into the underpowered pants of a random garlean soldier.

      there's one point in that section where you use your needle on a dead person, and the facade slips for a few seconds, it's quite clever.

    17:04 Ellen was a little girl not to be trifled with - confirmed.
    Pairs well with Ellen in her twenties responding to Chuds telling her to get in the kitchen by saying "That's where the knives are." And pulling a face like that guy in The Purge. Actually I think Ellen's video came first? Or maybe it was simultaneous - 2013-2015 is kind of a blur.
