   callisto protocol seems like an incomplete game
   
   the enemy variety isn't that great compared to dead space and it seems like it should be several hours longer based on equipment progression. I haven't looked into the development at all but it just looks like a "ran out of money" situation

     @RustyCrab the track record of "the original creators reviving the feel of an IP that got run into the ground a decade ago" projects is pretty poor though
     
     the world just isn't the same anymore

     @RustyCrab it's supposed to be a successor to dead space, with some of the same people involved

     @deprecated_ii @RustyCrab it's also some developers needed a tard wrangler to keep them in order.
     
     As much as people have opinions on Ken Levine here, the elephant in the room is he is incapable of making a game without a tard wrangler to give him a deadline. Bioshock Infinite didn't resemble the demos for this reason and his new game is missing in action for this reason. Denis Dyack too, once Nintendo wasn't working with him as a wrangler he didn't go anywhere.

     @PhenomX6 @deprecated_ii people like to shit on managers for "not doing anything" but they usually make the difference between a good project and a failed one

     While it's by a known hit piece writer, if you remember infinite it lines up 100%.

     A infamous video compilation of just things that were left out of Bioshock Infinite (enough for 2-3 games worth).
     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muJYTeQlvC4
     
     I heard the only reason Bioshock 1 even had the single choice in the game was Ken was trying to push the "lol u can't do anything" plotline but the publisher was like nope and when Infinite came out the publisher let him do mostly whatever (aside from being told to "hey release the game already dammit") and the end result is well...that. That's not going into the "other" meanings to the lore of Ken's games; which are literally the kind of crackhead shit not even /pol/ could make up.

     @PhenomX6 @deprecated_ii man all I know is the big daddies in Infinite sucked ass. That was the best part of bioshock 1 and they were almost entirely done away with, probably from a watered down overambitious design

     Pretty much everything about Infinite was watered down, either from console limits or because Ken would keep deciding to change something.
     
     He couldn't stick to one thing and do it and it bit him in the ass.

     play bioshock 2 it's a crack trip of a game (you play as big daddy and fight off other daddies), the story is basically "years after the first" and focuses more on the aspects of "what goes on at Rapture after the events of 1". Just don't play the PC port it's broken as fuck :(

     @RustyCrab @PhenomX6 @deprecated_ii bid daddies became trivial where as handymans were always pain in the ass

     @PhenomX6 @deprecated_ii @RustyCrab 2 is by far the easiest game

     Not when it's crashing every 5 minutes like the PC port does 😂
