Acid 0 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) The original was brilliant, any thoughts on the upcoming sequel? Mine personally is its continuation of the storyline and how much Rapture has changed itself since your last visit ten years ago. Released on Tuesday (9th).

Andrew 4183 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I'll probably be forgoing this one, I do have the first and played it through but just didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped I would (and was constantly told I would) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid 0 Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 The original was brilliant, any thoughts on the upcoming sequel? Mine personally is its continuation of the storyline and how much Rapture has changed itself since your last visit ten years ago. Released on Tuesday (9th). It's a prequel.. it's the events that lead up to how rapture was in the first one Going download it when i get home, the first was one of the first games in a long time of that nature I have enjoyed, one ranks right up there with the First half-life and Deus-ex, so i'm hoping this one will be great. One thing i'm glad they did is changed how the "mini boss" fights work, in the first one you could just avoid the big daddies and choose when and where you wanted to fight them, made it too easy taking them on your terms. In this one the Big sisters get introduced into the level at random times and basically come looking for you hope they have some subtle twist like the "Would you Kindly" bit from the first http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioShock_2 The game is set in fictional dystopian city Rapture in alternative history 1970, a decade after the events of BioShock. Meanwhile, I also agree on the twist with Atlas, and hope that this is somehow implemented in the sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima 0 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Just finished this today. Enjoyable, but nowhere near as good as the first one. Elaborate please? It is just more of the same really. The novelty of being a Big Daddy wears off after a couple of hours and therefore becomes a plod through the latter part of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid 0 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 Just finished this today. Enjoyable, but nowhere near as good as the first one. Elaborate please?

The novelty of being a Big Daddy wears off after a couple of hours and therefore becomes a plod through the latter part of the game I'd probably agree with that, Lamb just hasn't got the charisma of Ryan, and notably there isn't a significant character that replaces Atlas. Nevertheless, it's still a very good game, and multiplayer is rather fun, and the addition of your own cabin is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bias 3 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I've heard the online gameplay is laggy and poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid 0 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 I've heard the online gameplay is laggy and poor Yeah it's pretty hard to find a decent game, it's just to improve the lifespan of the game really, as I only bought it for the single-player campaign.

SloopJohn 0 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 It's the way games work today, you can't have everything it would seem you either Get a decent story and a nice long game to work through or you get the super graphics and something you clear in a day with ease (like call of duty.. and in it's case its also short because most want it for multiplayer) imo Games like Bioshock don't serve well to multiplayer.. and i had no intention of trying it. UnrealTournament, Counterstrike etc are multiplayer games they do it very well because in reality the single player modes are multiplayer with really stupid bots. Better to be a master of one trade than a jack of all i guess. i 100% agree with this. all the best single player games, bar a few exceptions, have a terrible or no online play: thief 1 & 2 deus ex monkey island series grim fandango zelda etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid 0 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) cleared bioshock 2 on the hardest setting in a day basically First one was miles better, story and length wise. this ones a bit harder in parts but its clearly been cut down due do the multiplayer additions...a pity I agree also.
