Yes but you can class dead space as a third person shooter as well. They just don't do it because it's pure survival horror.

Bioshock is also a partly a role playing game, it's like with skyrim, you can play it as a first person sneaker, they won't class it as such (like they do with thief) because you have multiple ways of playing the game.

Well, I've played the game a ton of times. I don't need a Wiki telling me what kind of game it is. Besides, the excerpt you chose doesn't really help your case.

>borrow concepts from the survival horror genre

It borrow concepts or uses ideas from that genre, but it doesn't make it a part of that genre.

Edit: I also want to point out that the wiki that you are trying to quote from, classifys it as an FPS game, not a survival horror.

You're cherry picking information.

The game includes elements of role-playing games, giving the player different approaches in engaging enemies such as by stealth, additionaly the game and its biopunk theme borrow concepts from the survival horror genre, notably the Resident Evil series.

I am talking about the first game only.

I mean, that's cool if that concept was in their minds when they developed it, but Bioshock isn't anywhere near survival horror. It's just misleading to people who read this and then go spend money on it.

Survival horror games are games like Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Amnesia, Soma, The Forest, etc.

Just the other day i was doing a run as a machinist, noticed the healer was struggling with keeping the tank alive, and asked if we needed to slow down.

We made it through the rest of snowcloak with very little issue and the tank was happy and healthy

Of course. Typically, the people who use this explanation use it as a defense because others are implying that playing as a woman means they’re identifying as a woman, and this is meant as an easily-understood assertion of one’s own gender and sexual orientation. The statement itself is intended to make the accuser back off.

I don’t think that a quip is out of line for asserting one’s sexuality or gender when others are trying to put the wrong label on it. After all, like it’s been previously stated, no one’s seriously ogling that ass for the full game. Least, no one older than fifteen.

I don’t see bands of macho Alpha males all choosing the female option and wolf whistling each other; just a bunch of regular guys defending why they made a simple choice, against both the Alpha Macho Men who see them as ā€œless than,ā€ and the few LGBTQ+ members who like to make fun of the straights and mock them for being ā€œinsecureā€.
