Bioshock Infinite is one of the worst games I've ever played in comparison to how well it was received.
I thought it was notably disliked by most fans of the previous games.

I get your point about warfare being incredibly simplified in HoI4 v HoI3, however, I think that virtually everything else about HoI3 is borderline unplayable due to how many factors of high-level industrial economy it is trying to simulate. And I say it's unplayable, mainly because it's unreadable. I, as a new player, have no real way to figure out at a glance what effect any given action I take is going to have. And that makes it both harder to learn at all, and makes me not want to bother trying.
I don't like Half-Life in general, because I think the gamefeel is floaty & wrong.
I don't know that putting 100 condos in a beachside flood-zone is actually a good idea in terms of construction, or land-use either, but like, you could maybe make a small cluster of buildings closer to the center of the island to achieve a similar effect.
It's very much the sense of hyper-individualism striking again, "they get paid, they can find their own food" without sparing a glance at what that entails.
US Military Brass have the mindset of an Austrian commander in the 1600's, but think that they can contend with China militarily.
What do I do about it tho?
One of the reasons so many stories from college sound like a summer camp is college dorms, or at least older ones, are still built for human habitations. Dozens of people share one laundry room. Living spaces are tiny but there are tons of common areas.
TBH, I had an absolutely fucking horrible time living in a dormitory-style arrangement when I was trying to pursue a trades education ~4 years ago, and I think it was a major part of what caused me to fail out of the program.
I can't deal with being around that many people all at once, all the time. I feel an extreme degree of social anxiety, and pressure to succeed in that kind of environment, and it's caused me to engage in some moderately concerning self-harming behavior in the past (e.g. ramming my head at full force into a concrete wall as a form of self-punishment, and running off campus into the woods during a severe snowstorm just to get away from it all).
Those are modifications of an existing character set. The Euro equivalent would be oscillating back & forth between Latin & Cyrillic script.
Guess what isn't really regulated in any way? Militias.
Do you know that for a fact? I'm not certain that that's actually true. In fact I'm pretty sure all of them are (probably) illegal.
TBH, BoTW is probably the first Zelda game I didn't finish just because I got bored of it, more than because of getting stuck on something & not wanting to look up a guide.
I appreciate the desire to want to replicate the experience of exploring your local town/countryside as a kid in a videogame, but maybe that's something kids should just be allowed to do IRL, and you should instead make interesting videogames as videogames.
