"Bioshock 2 is a good game but it is not a great game; it's not a Game of the Year type such as the first one was. The game didn't do enough in my eyes to improve on what made the first game so great. It's a great time playing as a Big Daddy and it adds an interesting twist to Rapture but more story telling would have been lovely as the story didn't hook me in like the first did. Also the engine used to run Bioshock 2 is really showing its age as it looks like a game made a few years ago. Should gamers be excited to play Bioshock 2? Yes in fact they should. However its not the epic game that it should be and to make matters worse, it threw in a shoddy online to boot."
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.
I totally agree with the opinions on the multiplayer. I have long despised the rabid demand that multiplayer be in every single game.
Games like this that are story driven have no need for multiplayer. And it looks like the budget and time that was wasted on MP could've been utilized much better to polish the single-player campaign.
But once again, a game budget was spent on an MP that NO ONE is going to be playing within a few weeks.
Yet again we have a title with tacked on Multiplayer..I'll be so glad to see the back of this phase and return to the days where the single player has complete attention of the devolopers.
The multiplayer for the game looks fun
Heh I still need to play through the first one...I only ever started it a few times.
