Continue Your Mission, Dammit!: Difference between revisions

* ''[[BioshockBioShock (series)]]'' both deconstructs this trope and plays it straight to a minor extent. If the player stands still for a short time, the hint dialog will pop up in the HUD, assuming the player is stuck. In addition, when Ryan attempts to ambush the player, three splicers come out and machine-gun the safety glass between you and them - while you're waiting for the hatch leading to the next area to open. If you wait around once the hatch opens, though, the splicers will continue machine-gunning the glass until your console's warranty expires, never breaking through. {{spoiler|The deconstruction comes into play when it's revealed that the player character has been mentally conditioned to automatically perform any action prefixed with "would you kindly?" in reference to players typically never questioning their objectives. A bit of an [[Indecisive Deconstruction]], however, since it's not like there's any other way to finish the game.}}

** Under similar circumstances to the [[BioshockBioShock (series)]] example above, the tutorial level contains scenes of people getting machine-gunned by [[Humongous Mecha|YMIR mechs]] on the other side of windows from Shepard, but as soon as all targets are down they just stand there and stare.
