An adventure game in a semi-functional Rapture could be fun. We've gotten glimpses of the young Rapture in Bioshock 2 and the Infinite DLC, but there's room for more exploration.

I felt Bioshock 2 had the worst story and best combat. It's been a while since I played it though so that may be nostalgia.
I loved the opening sequence of Bioshock Infinite. I was disappointed when the combat started. There were a few good set pieces but the late plot twists made the story about something less interesting than what the opening promised.
Indeed! It's basically a love letter to Final Fantasy V.
I'm replaying Final Fantasy Dimensions on ios. The first time around I kept cycling jobs to level them evenly. This time I'm keeping a party of warriors and monks to auto-battle my way through the early dungeons, then mixing things up for the bosses.
Note he hasn't planned 4 or 5 year long stories. He planned one movie-length story…. which U.S.A. has given him permission to stretch out indefinitely. The first half of season one felt like a tightly plotted thriller. The episodes since have put narrative storytelling aside. This has already caused a split between…
It's somehow comforting to know that handsome isn't enough.
Imagine how much more interesting this would be if it was written from the perspective of someone in Rene Zellweger's stage of life. That woman has stories to tell and so would a Bridget who'd grown past suspended adolescence.
Oh, innocents, listen in time –
Chorus. We do,
Avoid an existence of crime –
Chorus.Just so –
Or you'll be as ugly as I'm –
Chorus. No! No!
And now, if you please, we'll proceed.

And then a terrifying NBC live Broadcast starring the cast of The Real Housewives of Punxsutawney.
Potential pitfalls:
One could argue that it's because S2 has had so little story. It feels like it's all set up with no pay off.
Tyrell Wellick storms center stage, glares at the audience… and sings:
"Whatever happened to my part?
It was exciting at the start.
Now we're halfway through Stage 2
and I've had nothing yet… to dooooooo!"
Also I see a lot of comments below about how actors repeat the same stories. I'd argue it is because interviewers like to repeat the same questions.
I went to theatre a lot as a kid and saw the same local actors play multiple roles. That may be why I didn't cement movie actors to the first roles I saw them in. When I meet actors I admire now I try to say "I'm a fan of your work." It feels like the least creepy thing to say while still getting the chance to geek…
I still enjoy Pac Man games.
I've never appreciated the many attempts to give Pac Man and co "personalities."
However I absolutely LOVE the commercial with the boys in pink berets Fosse dancing while singing about Ms. Pac Man's "shocking pink bow!"
I saw the trailer for this in the cinema. It made me sad.
The movie that followed was Kubo and the Two Strings. That made me happy again.
I'm torn. i want gay romance in my genre fiction. I also want thoughtful explorations of heterosexual male friendships. I'd rather support original works with queer content than fan fiction but I have to find them and they have to be well written.
"Then the men married women who reminded them of their mothers and they all lived blandly ever after… until the retcon-y stage play."
Bioshock's Rapture and Fallout 3's abandoned shacks feel lived in.
Batman's Arkham City feels like a jungle gym.
Batman's basically "protecting" a street full of goons and a sewer full of ninjas.
In contrast I like how the empty cells in Arkham Asylum reflected the personalities of the inmates held there.
