  • Bioshock 2

    I know Rob hates it, but I'm interested. Less than a month away from its release.

    I'll have to see what the reviews say. But I honestly don't get why everyone fellates the first one so much. Yes the atmosphere was cool, yes it looked nice, but the actual game play was pretty stale IMO.

        I can understand the over praise. But I enjoyed the hell out of the atmosphere and art deco infused sci-fi. I was having chills when playing the game. And they were in fact multiplying.

        Plus using the flame thrower with electric gel made me feel like a Ghostbuster.

          I dug the first one as well, although I never finished it.

            Oh come on. It's not even that difficult.

              I guess my problem was that you had all of these cool powers and shit but when it came down to it using the electrified shotgun was the easiest way to go through the game. I shouldn't have to make the game harder just to use my fire or ice power.

                No but it got fucking repetitive as shit near the end.

                  You could just play the game just using that power. Personally, I'd rather have you make that choice than have the game be ball-shatteringly difficult.

                  Still, that Sander Cohen stage was some heavy shit. The story was really good at that point.

                    I didn't finish it because I kept getting motion sick. I've mentioned this before, but 1st person games tend to do this to me. I really tried with 'Bioshock', but I just couldn't do it.

                      That happens to me too. But if you go about things slowly you shouldn't have any trouble.

                      Also, I loved the predator cloaking plasmid. That was a great power.

                      As for the new game, not crazy about the multiplayer. It's been done, a lot.

                        I'll rent it, just like the first one.
                        Touch it. Touch my fuzziness! It's like petting a kitten!

                          I never played the first. I was skeptical of all the praise it got.

                            Giant Bomb talked about the big collective "meh" they have for Bioshock 2, and it was pretty refreshing hearing any media outlet not completely suck off the game. I did not understand the love for the first at all. It was a beautiful game, with a great narrative and art direction, but as a shooter it was pretty mediocre. And regardless of the plasmids and all that shit, the game was a shooter first and foremost.

                              YES. THANK YOU. I got so much shit for my lack of praise for the first one.
