[QUOTE="crucifine"][QUOTE="Neoyamaneko"]How does Bioshock qualify? The player is treated like the main character in the world while not breaking the drama and realism in the game. Also, Rapture is never exposed as a playground for the player's pleasure. Atlas doesn't even tell you to press certain controller buttons to manipulate things in the world.AtomicTangerine
Once you get to Andrew Ryan, you realize that you've been suckered into following Fontaine's instructions the entire time. Not Jack, the players themselves. It's a bit metaphysical and deterministic. It took me a few hours to work out the devs were playing a huge joke on us.
That needs a spoiler tag... and I think you're putting pieces together that aren't there. Like you have to follow his instructions because the game is totally linear. They promised a big world where things happened wether or not you were there. Instead, the game ended up being a corridor crawl. That would be quite the surprise if one of the worst things about the game turned out to be intentional.
Well, the topic said *contains spoilers* so I just let it stay that way. And I'm not putting it together from pieces that aren't there. It's incredibly linear because you're following Atlas' 'requests'. I know nothing would happen if you refused, but the only way to progress in the game is to submit to his will.
