While improving on many of the flaws in gameplay of the first game, BioShock 2 fails to provide the strong and compelling story that made the original so intriguing. While still a solid game, those who were hoping for the superb twists and an engaging story like the original BioShock will be mildly disappointed. It was a monumental task to give players such an engrossing story again. 2K Marin gives a great effort, but comes up a little short.
One of the most popular video game franchises of all time is set to receive a Netflix film adaptation, according to an announcement on Tuesday afternoon.
Gee...can't wait to see how many things they change and stray away from, oh don't forget the miscast actors
Netflix did well with Dare Devil and the Punisher and I hear the Witcher is pretty good I know when I had Netflix at the time Stranger Things was also good. But Bioshock I love the franchise Bioshock Infinite is my favorite game I would pay the $21 Canadian just to check out Bioshock. Normally I would never renew my Netflix after they did their price hike but Bioshock would be worth it.
Love Bioshock but I'll prepare myself for the likelihood this will be both crap and a pale imitation of the source material. That covers most video game adaptations and Netflix films.
The best games are able to create a never-before-seen setting and weave a completely engaging story into its DNA. One series beats almost all others out for its environmental storytelling and narrative: BioShock.
Hurts to see the word "worst" related to Bioshock saga.
The 3 games are masterpieces.
oh great. Can’t wait to see the posts of game titles in a ranked order without context as to why.
In a podcast with Wassup Conversations, Jordan Thomas, director and the writer of BioShock 2 reveals his initial ideas for a new rapture and how they were shut down by 2K.
"My first proposal was about a little sister, it was playing as a little sister and it was much more horror-oriented pace and about vulnerability, closer to Thief frankly, but I was told no, we want it to be our Gears of War, this need to be a big shooter franchise with an emphasis on the shooter element, and so what I think of the protagonist of a shooter as is a big lumbering sort of porthole on a stick with guns sticking out in front like you’re almost a vehicle."
And he also wanted it to be above the sea or in space. What a wasted opportunity.
It's surprising the game turned out to be good with this guy at the helm. The combat mechanics were actually the biggest improvement in the sequel as much as he wouldn't want to hear that, everything else was inferior.
No-name site wants hits?
Ok the guy probably havent played the first one or maybe he did not read the logs of Bioshock 2!If you read all the logs you pick during the game like me you can state that Bioshock 2 evolves and explains some of the story and misterys surronding the first Bioshock!If you want blast to the game you can,but if people want to know more they have to read.
Wow, me and this game site must have been playing different games. I loved Bioshock 2, and I personally believe anything lower than a 9 is selling it short... but that's just me.
If you forget about this games predecessor and take it as a new entity, well I think it would be scoring higher than this. I dislike that games from series are no longer rated in comparison to games on the market but more in line with its predecessors.
Bioshock 2 was incredible in my opinion, sure the story wasn't as strong as the first one, but there is less opportunity to make it as good when you are building on top of something. Essentially where the story lacks the gameplay makes up for... tenfold. The game is brilliant and so flawlessly executed.
I have completed it and will be playing through again, this time as evil :D Also the multiplayer is actually rather good :)
So yer, 9/10 for me.
The original Bioshock was massively overrated; it was a great game through Fort Frolic but was rather pedestrian and by-the-numbers in the last 1/3 of the game, which seemed to be compeltely consistently overlooked and ignored by reviewers who constantly said "ZOMG, Game of the 4-EVAR!!!!" I guess they never played System Shock 2, which was clearly the better game. Bioshock 2 seems like it's of similar quality to Bioshock 1 to me. I have enjoyed both and would probably give both around 8/10. It would be nice to see them fix the constant crashing of the the PC version, which I happen to have. It started crashing a ton since they released that stupid patch. It was running fine for me before that.
