Bioshock Infinite (showing America's openly racist past)

This is so funny because the game twists things toward the end to give the message "anyone who violently defends themselves against racist terrorists is just as bad as the racist terrorists."

Original bioshock is much more straightforwardly antiright with its message of "libertarians are wrong about everything and will destroy society if they're allowed to run it."

I completely agree about the Bioshock 1. A little off topic, Bioshock was probably my first exposure libertarian beliefs/Ayn Rand. I got curious about Atlas Shrugged in my 20s after replaying the game and my goodness that was a massive waste of my time. All I could think when I finished it was 'Did I just read the capitalist version of the Turner Diaries? Is that the reason they like the book so much?'

Infinite forgot to tell a good story and instead just kept the player moving from spectacle to spectacle
