Lets hear about that game you love, yet naggs at you with some unresolved plot element.

My choice is BioShock.

I love the game and back story, but one thing has allways bugged me about it.

SPOILER!!!!!!!

Don't read if you haven't played the game and don't want any plot ruined.

 

 

 

Why isn't Andrew Ryan revived by a vita chamber??

Its explained in the game that the vita chamber can revive people and that Ryan had it set to only work for him. As his son it will work for you due to the security not being perfected.

Unless that is a plot element in the sequel.

The only nearby vita chamber is turned off.  this is because he wanted to choose how he died and to force Jack to realize the control Fontaine had over him.  Ryan is dead.  very much so.

anyway, my fav game would have to be, (other than Sins) Mass Effect.  What the hell are they going to do about the HUGE Reaper fleet?  I mean please, if one reaper ship nearly destroyed the entire council and the included races, then what would a fleet?

Vita chamber's almost ruined Bioshock. Thank goodness you were able to turn them off.

The game.

all they did was let you replay a section that you died in.  how did that ruin the game?

What about the hundreds of other chambers all over the place? Doesn't make sense to me that something designed to (and can in the game) manipulate things on a quantum level, would be limited by distance.

Because the fear of getting killed was ruined, you knew you were coming back. And to top it all off, the enemys had the same hp as when you died!

So all you had to do was shoot,die,shoot,die, shoot   ..then kill the enemy. Don't get me wrong great game, but if you have no fear of dieing what's the point? It's like quicksaving every two feet, only worst with the enemy hp staying the same.

well, there is the limit of the body.  that can only go so far, and the reason he died was because of the vitachamber being turned off.  it was Mr. Ryan himself that did that.

really?  I never really died that much, so I didn't find out just how close they were.  but in nearly every game you get a fairly often save/respawn point.  The game though is really creepy.  especially the part where you get the shotgun.  you're in the only lighted part of the room and people are running out of the pitch black at you. That got my adrenaline going.

because he isn't pumped up on adam and gene splicings.  Andrew Ryan was a normal guy.

It's also explained in the game that Andrew Ryan disabled the Vita Chambers before you came to him. Why?

A man chooses. A slave obeys.

Edit: As for Bioshock itself, I'm not much of a fan. The setting and theme was great, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. And as for a favourite game with plotholes.. don't really have one. If it's got plotholes, why would it be one of my favourite games?

Faviorite game with a plot hole:

 

Silent Hill

 

It wasn't so much a plot hole as more of a WTF is going on. Then I checked the internet 'plot guides' and got even more  confused. Still it is a brilliant game, V.scary (much more scary than its squels) and part of the fun was the "uh? WTF" is going on factor.


Spoiler Alert

 

 

 

What I think was going on was, a crazy cult set about getting a child. They then burned her alive and kept her in a coma (for some reason?). But said child split herself into two parts (cheryl) which the loveable harry mason and his wife found. Then 7 years later cheryl returned to Silent hill with her father, and all hell breaks loose and "S**" happens.  Harry gets killied and then reborn (?) and goes around trying to get his daughter back who for some reason is either an angel or a devil depending upon wether you throw "red s***" at (?).

 

Make any sense to you?

Just because you don't have all the facts or understand all the background doesn't mean it's a plot hole.
