https://jumpnshoot9000.wordpress.com/2013/10/27/bioshock-and-language

Jump'n Shoot 9000. IT'S A SECRET TO EVERYBODY. Something I feel compelled to comment on is the powerful role of language in the original.

The language of these NPCs frame the access that the player has into. 8216;s game environment, and conditions the interaction that the player has with it. You are commenti...
