Gaming sins
Siert:
Bioshock had the "infinite respawns" your only punishment was you had slightly over 1/3 health and mana. But you didn't loose anything and enemies still has reduced health from the last attack.
Narr:
No punishment for death is a big issue with me. At least with Bioshock, you can turn vita-chambers off. It's just kind of stupid to me that you'd have a game, which is usually some sort of test of skill, and not have any penalties for failing. The ONLY game I can think of where this doesn't really matter to me is Planescape: Torment because the reason you play it is to be immersed in a world and a universe, where the story is vastly more important.
Siert:
Hmm, I think there needs to be a line between suitable punishment and unfair.
Let us take MMORPGs, these are a worthy choice, they are businesses, thus a death penalty is a reasonable "Stall".
Which would you rate as worse. Loosing 10% of your exp (Someimtes loosing a elvel, depending how cruel the game is)
OR
Gaining a debuff that lasts between 10 minutes and two hours that reduces your statistics (And capability of preventing you dying, again!)
Storm Rider:
I don't think Bioshock's intent is to be a test of skill either, to be honest. I'd argue that it has a similar goal to Planescape: Torment, it's just in a genre that is more action-oriented.
