The MGS series is the most intellectually and philosophically deep writing in gaming.

>>382930321
That's because movies have a culture of pretension and AAA games generally do not. Telling a story in such a way to confuse the audience is not a notably difficult thing to do, and often is a diversion so you don't notice that the story being told isn't particularly special or good.

well, to be fair, Oxford is a shithole; any human beings of actual worth have come from Cambridge

at the end of Bioshock 1 I was like wtf? But then I did some reading and I could understand. The fact that, at the time, the subtitles were bugged and out of sync didn't help.

Also, I bought the book and it really answered the questions I had, excellent book, highly recommend for those who liked the game.

You realise Ken Levine fucking hated the book, as he had to study it intensively for his liberal arts 'degree'. Bioshock's plot is meant to be a satire of it.

Bioshock Infinite is definite brainludo. Honestly it kind of embarrasses me to admit it but I couldn't finish it. I got stuck at the bell puzzle. Thought I was smart but you always learn I guess.

That's kind of difficult to answer because there are so many, however, this is a particularly big offender.
Also, I don't believe a movie has to use this trope to be considered pretentious, but they do go hand and hand.

Bioshock Infinite

>>382933086
How is PUBG a skinner box? There isnt much grinding and shit in it is there? War Thunder is what I would call a skinner box due to it being about grinding for the next vehicle and the next one and the next, the only purpose of the game at its core to grind for the next vehicle, the next tier and the next in an exponentially increasing grind

is the bioshock infinite thing bait?

Killer7 is the only right answer.

It's not that complex, it's just uninteresting. There are infinite universes and therefore infinite possibilties.

Probably most things on this list. Most of them are fairly obscure, a bit dated, have obtuse mechanics, and rarely have a wiki, so being able to play these is a brainlet filter.

Games is a poor medium to tell good stories in, so most of the plots people praise for being deep and hmm aren't actually clever but instead just poorly communicated. Example: Bioshock Infinite.

Not that movies don't suffer from this too, but not as much.

Only real games that make you think are Braid, Limbo/Inside and The Witness, and they do not because the plot is necessarily incredibly complex or convoluted, but because they're artsy and ambiguous in nature.

Came here to say this. It helps that like half of the game was cut out, so you're never really sure if something doesn't make sense because of time constraints or if it's on purpose.

My theory has been that it's called Bioshock cause the MC's bio (biography) gets "shocked", since in every game the climax is learning that the MC isn't who he thinks he is

>>382946093
you fucking retard. It's called Bioshock because the jump scares make you piss your pants.

How can people be this dense??

Reminder that bioshock infinite and its DLCs are all non-canon in the overall bioshock universe, since everything that happened are in seperate universes than the first 2 games

>>382946675
Well, unless they say that all universes are canon.
