Forum Overview :: BioShock :: I don't get people being angry about not being penalized for dying

[quote name="jeep"][quote name="sdroa jists"]specifically they are too easy because when you die it just sends you to an invincible spawning tube with literally no penalty, no money taken, no resources of any kind drained, half your health bar regenerated, all enemies lose track of you, they can't get into the tube until you open it, etc etc some other shit that was shameful they're still fun games[/quote] If I die in portal 2 or half life 2 doesn't the same thing happen? I read a column the other day whining about no-penalty deaths in mmos, that guy made all kinds of prognostications based on the future of that genre(?) and he's not remotely right. less than 20% of video game players have the fucking skill to play with risk like "lose all your shit and your skills since your last clone in eve" wtf are these companies going to do, tell the other 80% to eat a dick? That other 80% already isn't finishing the games, how much less fun for those people are you demanding here? Thanks for the recommendation I'll look at bioshock before the new one comes out. [/quote]
