Some of that is really unnecessary and make things far more convoluted then needed to be.

In Bioshock I listened to every audio recorder.

Later I was finally getting anxious to hurry up and beat the game so I telekinetically decided to grab one and throw it haphazardly somewhere thinking that if I need to I'll listen to it later because I know you can't destroy them. However, as soon as I did I couldn't find it, and I spent like 20 minutes trying to figure out how I got it beyond the game's boundary (note, by this point I was well familiar with the buggy aspects of Bioshock), because I knew if I saved and it was essential, I'd be stuck. But I moved on and decided it was useless.

Shortly after that I was stuck in this part where you have to enter a specific code to ride an elevator. I've never used a guide on a video game since Majora's Mask came out and never planning to, so I was stuck on the game for what must have been 8 hours, before I finally gave up and asked /v/ what I did wrong.

It turns out I threw away the only recorder in the entire game that actually mattered.

Few games get this right.

>Listen to audio logs, but stop 1/4 of the way into the game because they're idiotic.
>>
>playing an actual good game
>put on the audiolog while I search a room
>both the room and the audiolog are interesting

God I love this feeling, it should be done more often.

I don't see why MMO writers can't make it at least on par with the story of a single player RPG but they're always so fucking boring somehow.

I mean sometimes they can surprise you and have something fun/interesting in there but when you're trudging through 40+ hours of cutscenes and story and only find 5 minutes of it actually worthwhile it's just a fucking mess.
