Bioshock 2

[Gun92]

I'm enjoying the game so far and looking forward to the second one coming out as well.

I liked the gameplay of bioshock. Any game can be improved though.

I hated the gameplay. I only played it to the end for the story and atmosphere, that was all. I didn't re do the good ending either.

The gameplay was clunky and your guy maneuvered like the titanic. Weapons took up half your screen because you could ducktape stupid stuff to it. All those plasmids and only like one or two of them were actually useful, the rest were just there for the sake of the plot, and so that you could progress past a frozen door or some bollocks. The whole game was linear and felt incredibly linear even though they tried to make it seem open.

A door key is a door key regardless. If someone told me I needed to open door A with a flaming sword, and the flaming sword was generally useless for the rest of the game, I'd be pissed that I was granted such a cool but useless tool.

Mal I definitely agree with you 100%

I'm totally in love with the story... which is why I'm so defensive about it, cause I thought the story and the dialogue was superb but the gameplay and the enemies did piss me off quite a bit throughout the game. Like I would just sit there and curse at my television and let myself "die". However I did not have a hard time killing most of the splicers, cause I aim for the head all the time and they die easier that way. But then again you lose ammo real fast (especially in the beginning) and unless you know how to get into like secret rooms or open safes which usually give you REALLY good items without having to buy them and maybe even tons of gold, you would find the game really annoying. Cause you'd be poor and with nothing to buy ammo, health or eve hypos with.

But that's the thing. It was part of the storyline... it being linear and all when it's revealed that you've been following orders because you're brainwashed. At least that's how I see it. I went around and explored places before continuing with the actual objectives of the game. Maybe that's why I found it so fun.

And I admit I liked the hacking game. I'm a fan of puzzle games like that. I guess I'm just weird.
