Yeah, it was an OK game, getting way too much unjustified hate here. Maybe it's not the game most people here wanted, but it was a solid action game in a nice setting with a slightly above average video game story, that gets a little crazy in the second half, and apparently it's a little too much for some people.
I liked it. Though I didn't pay full price, I got it on a deep sale many years later. Never finished Bioshock 1-2 though, found them boring and didn't like the horror aspects.
Yes it is, nothing you say is truth apt, ill do whatever the frick I want, and I can tell from your "genuine" opinion that you're a stupid Black person, homosexual.
The problem is that it's a shit Bioshock game. If you slap any other title on that shit and it's decent I guess. But the problem is that it's Bioshock but it isn't Bioshock. I don't even remember the name of the racist ass city it takes place in but the city is too clean, too bright. Maybe they did it intentionally to kinda mask how fricked up the place truly is at heart but still it just doesn't play like how Rapture did in Bioshock 1 and 2. It gets hate for the same reason that Mafia 3 got so much hate, it isn't a Mafia game. And that's not a bad thing, the game was decent at best but when you slap "MAFIA" or "BIOSHOCK" on the cover people expect a fricking MAFIA or BIOSHOCK game. Not Mafia 3 or Bioshock Infinite.
>If you slap any other title on that shit and it's decent I guess
I'd just say it was "serviceable". The gunplay and spongey nature of enemies made it a real chore to get through, and that's before even getting to shit like the ghost enemy everyone hated.
I wouldn't mind them doing "Bioshock but it's actually the opposite - just with all the same themes" but the themes were handled poorly and weren't really the same or as deep as before.
It would be cool to have Bioshock 1 take place in a different setting but still have all the Andrew Ryan shit etc, although I'd still rather it was just its own title.
And serviceable is decent. All I'm saying is that people hated it because it wasn't a Bioshock game. Same reason why people hated Mafia, it wasn't a fricking Mafia game. That would be like Gamefreak dropping Pokemon but instead of a Pokemon game, you got Final Fantasy or some shit instead battling creatures or some shit. Could it be decent? Sure. But a good amount of people would be pissed they thought they were getting a Pokemon game and then you gave them something else. It's the same reason why the israelites at Activision decided to """reboot"""" CoD because they know the name "Modern Wafare" will sell like hot cakes.
Nah to me serviceable is bland and forgettable. I played it on release and I "hated" it as I was having effectively 0 fun.
The combat was a chore, the themes were about as subtle as a kick to the nads, and the skyhooks were woefully underutilised. I could go on, but basically I'd put on the same level as the forgettable FPS game slops, but with added annoyances that drop it to "below average" for me personally. I cannot get over how unsatisfying and unchallenging the combat was, and how plasmids felt like an afterthought they threw in just to say "it's still bioshock guys :)". Only the setting did anything remotely interesting and I still feel like they fluffed that.
For me a 4/10 may be serviceable, as in it plays and kills a few hours without making me want to tear my own nuts off, but I do not consider it decent. "Decent" means I had a good time, and didn't just slog through it to not feel ripped off (although I got it as a bundle with nu-XCOM back in the day so I didn't feel too cheated).
The only good thing this game ever did was revolutionizing the tech for 3D porn. That's it. Game fricking sucked.
Moving on from Rapture and making the protagonist this self loathing prick with agency was such a huge mistake. They took everything integral to the series' DNA and turned it on its head.
I had fond memories of it and didn't understand the hate it gets. Then I replayed it in March. Yeah it's pretty frickin boring. I don't know what I liked about it back in the day. I guess it was good in its time but didn't age well?
I hated it at the time still. It was all aesthetics but the gameplay and story sucked. The story in particular relied on Booker seeing multiple signs to not show off his "mark" and that fricker waved it around constantly all the time making no attempt to hide it.
Nope it's well before, you see it environmentally long before anything kicks off.
But he then keeps out later in the story anyway, iirc going to a ticket station or something and just resting his hand on the counter like "hurr durr"
Maybe the story was fine, idk, dropped the game after an hour or so. It was enter room > kill waves of braindead enemies > enter room. At least in the fist two bioshock games it was interesting to explore rapture and using powers was satisfying.
I remember the porn
How could I forget my wife's game?
Nice anons.
Wish I didn't. Thanks.
yeah
I dropped it after 30 min so no
I like how these thread bring morons like you with the shitiest taste
Yep, pretty good game. I'd give it a 7.5/10. And 90% of all the crying was completely unwarranted.
I remember it being complete shit.

Mediocre

Shit

Extremely moronic
>it's a little too much for some people.
Nope, you just can't tell good from bad.
>Never finished Bioshock 1-2 though, found them borin
Frick it, I should've realised it was bait before here. You got me.
It's not bait. Everything I said is 100% valid. You are free to disagree, but it's just like, your opinion, man.
Yes it is, nothing you say is truth apt, ill do whatever the frick I want, and I can tell from your "genuine" opinion that you're a stupid Black person, homosexual.
OK, but I don't give a frick. You're still wrong and I'm right.
If you didn't, you wouldn't bother responding. You've never been right once in your life.
I'm always right, and never lost a Ganker internet argument and never will.

This but also the sheer amount of hype and positive reviews upon release
Definitely a watershed moment that would foreshadow things to come

Its what Hitman Absolution is to Blood Money. On top of being a different game altogether, its also a poorly made game.
Yeah it’s shit, couldn’t even get to the fricking city because of this bullshit.
why so many infinite threads lately did an eceleb play it
It was kinda decent, the plot made no sense but Elizabeth is sexy as hell.

And Columbia is fricking boring.

It was literally one that before he knew what's happening, dumbass.
What could the sign possibly mean?
Nope it's well before, you see it environmentally long before anything kicks off.

It had an interesting setting. That's it.
Don't forget coombait
