I will give the series credit though for at least having a point ... even though it is incredibly stupid and self-contradictory. It goes as follows ... Bioshock: Objectivism/Egoism is bad Bioshock 2: Communism/socialism/altruism is bad Bioshock Infinite: America/jingoism is bad Basically, any idealogy is, by default, evil. The game's creator ignores the fact that consistant adhereance to this is also an idealogy. Should just call it Nihilism Infinite. |
The point of the Bioshock games (story wise, anyway) isn't "x ideology is inherently evil", but rather that outwardly noble causes can have ugly underbellies, and that the early and mid 20th century (and early 19th) had some particularly ugly ones.
Take the Vox from Infinite for example. They seem noble, standing up for the poor and disenfranchised, yet their leader eventually proves willing to murder children.
It portrays ideologies warts and all instead of glamorising them.
