I think you meant perpetrator not victim. Bioshock Infinite was a steaming pile of shit with disjointed gameplay and elements that just didn't belong in the game. It was a wobbling mess of intellectual sounding garbage that didn't realize exactly how messed up it was. When called on it's bullshit however it didn't do the regular thing which was ask for our suspension of disbelief, it just said "Constants and Variables" and then started giving itself high fives and laughing to itself uncontrollably.
The violence felt out of place because of who the people committing the violence were. I had NO such argument to make about the Last of Us, the violence there felt necessary and realistic, despite a bit overkill at the start.
Why are cops, guys with families, a long live ahead of them, who get PAID to do this work, charging at you, a homicidal maniac who is literally their incarnation of the anti-christ, with nothing but a baton? No reason, just the fact that it's a Bioshock game and we had allot of melee units in the previous ones, the same story with the vigours, food system, health kits, different types of weapons (despite the fact you can only carry 2 now and about 3 of em are just variations on machineguns), upgrades for vigours and weapons, etc. Bioshock had them so they HAVE to be in here somewhere.
I will be up front here and don't mask what I say behind Lumobabrive Misnocance, as I already did in the opening but here it is again, I did not like the game, I did not like it one bit. I would have much rather played the game in the E3 demo than this watered down fratboy edition. Where you actual had areas that felt lived in and the violence was way more realistic where you were suddenly stuck in between someone holding a rock and someone banging your head on a hard surface because of who you are or something you said.
However to say there were no problems with the way the violence was portrayed is quite absurd. If you wish to show me that this is totally normal behaviour for a cop show me a video where a cop assaults a bank robbery with nothing but a stick and his giant balls.
