I don't know if it was critically panned, but people complained about Bioshock 2 when I thought it was a great follow up to the original.
Wasn't that the one that went all enlightened centrist with the message of "Actually socialism is bad too (also we got our definition of socialism from Ayn Rand)"?
It was Bioshock Infinite that played the enlightened centrist card. At least the first game was very anti-Randian
Bioshock 2 also had like, "Ooooh we did individualism in the last one but now this villain wants to do collectivism instead!!!"
I don't play videogames for good politics. I just enjoyed having a drill hand and also shooting lightning from my hands. It's been a decade since I played it I couldn't even tell you what the message was.
I wonder if I'd been less tankie if I hadn't played anti-communist propaganda "Command and Conquer: Red Alert" as a kid. shrugs
Really? I thought it was considered a good sequel, hm.
Probably? I think people really had high high hopes for it. I just remember people being harsh on it because it didn't capture the magic of the first game and the multiplayer felt tacked on. Which it definitely was tacked on, but I enjoyed it just the same.
I liked it too
