just played bioshock
bigfatton \| 1:25 AM on 02.02.2008	15 comments

And I really enjoyed it. I was really worried because of how much it had been hyped up to me from the dtoid community, but it was pretty much everything they said it would be. I played through it saving the little sisters, somehow i just couldn't bring myself to kill them, they were just to cute when i heard them talking down the hall about how it was sleepy time and such. As to the talk of making a prequel, I agree that it would be a horrible idea, in that the great part of the game was discovering the past throughout the game. going back and just seeing it all seems so pointless because i already know roughly what it was like, and what I don't know I have a pretty good idea of. Why do people need to have every single detail of a story filled out for them? Alas, I can see 2K wanting to make more money off the game, and a sequel would be alright i guess, if they didn't whore it out, but i'd just like to see more original games with great writing like bioshock. Also, the weapon/ammo and plasmid system...awesome, could make for sweet multiplayer if twisted around a little

I didn't want to kill the Little Sisters either, until those assholes wouldn't shut the hell up when they wanted a Big Daddy to kill me. Anyway, I thought it was a decent game. Not GOTY quality material, but the art style and story was pretty good.

bigfatton

If it wasn't GOTY material though, I'm not sure what was. Aside from the love of my life, portal, though it's such a simple game. I'll admit though, I can't see myself playing through Bioshock again, at least not for a while. But it was a great experience

MrSadistic

I guess I'm biased against the game, mainly for the lackluster ending(s). Well, you'll see what I mean.

bigfatton

That's where I agree with you whole-heartedly. The endings were weak. Very weak, very anti-climactic. But in a way, I wasn't really that bummed about it, because I enjoyed the rest of the storytelling so much, that by that point, I already felt pretty strongly about the game, lack of a great ending couldn't ruin the rest of the experience for me. But I totally see where you're coming from.

For me its more about the journey then the destination and this is especially true in Bioshock's case. Playing through the game was an amazing experience in regards to story, atmosphere and game play. Besides, The game "Jumped the Shark" when you killed Andrew Ryan. Theres no ending in the world that could have topped that scene.

@ DaedHead8: You know how easily someone could accidently read that? That was fucked up! LoL.

As for BioShock, it put me to sleep honestly.

But I appreciate it's beautiful art design and amazing premise, which I'll never get to experience cause I find it boring. It did good things for the "video games are art" arguement, so it has my respect.

Of course, us gamers should shun everyone, who cares if old people consider games art? Fuck them.

Your so anti old people Eternal..lol. Age has a way of creeping up on your ass youngster.

DaedHead8

@EDS

Well if they're reading a blog post about a game that came out over half a year ago that they haven't beaten, they deserve to get the game spoiled, lol.

As far as the games as art argument goes, I think our very own Jim Sterling puts it best:
"Videogames are art because art is subjective and I have decided that videogames are art. This cannot be debated, as one cannot debate the validity of something made valid only by one's individual perception."

TMX-RockMan

All I have to say is Mr.Bubbles can DIAF! lol glad you had fun with the game, I have yet to beat the game only cause I played it at a friends house and he rented it, so I guess you can say I failed haha. Great game I can't wait to play it again and beat it this time.

EternalDeathSlayer

@ Yojimbo: I AM OLD!!!! WHY DO YOU THINK I ALWAYS SEEM TO RAG ON OLD PEOPLE? I'M 21 WITH 2 KIDS!

I feel like I'm 50. Imagine how I'll feel at 40.

atheistium

I'm going to be replaying it soon to kill all the little sisters, when I first killed one, it broke my little heart.

ZombiePlatypus

I didn't kill any of the sisters at all, planning on killing 'em when I rebeat the game. Then I played maybe a half hour of a new playthrough and haven't played it since...

wardrox

Good to see you enjoyed THE BEST GAME EVER MADE (In my 100% correct opinion)

Snaileb

It was ok. Personally COD4 was better for me.

bigfatton

You know, I love COD4, and having a multiplayer part, it was worth it to buy, where as i just rented bioshock. But I enjoyed Bioshock as a single player game FAR more than COD4. CoD 4 was great in it's own way in single player, and it was powerful, but the backstory of bioshock, and discovering that backstory, was so much fun. Not to mention all the characters in bioshock. I don't know, i just didn't get that attached to Soap and whatever the marine's name was who died. oh..spoiler warning, lolz
