Bioshock
 
What did people think about Bioshock? I 'm playing it right now, and honestly I'm a little disappointed. I went to EB Games to get a different game and the guy convinced to get Bioshock instead. He raved about it so much I thought it would be amazing. The graphics are really good and I love the concept, but the whole game feels really repetitive to me.

Most of us here have played it, and I don't think anyone will disagree with it being one of the best available games.

Maybe my expectations were set too high from the sales guy. It's not a bad game, I just want more from it I guess.

I went into it, not really expecting a whole lot. I thought it was fantastic. But then again, I never set myself up high for anything anymore. Things are much better, when you expect nothing, from something.

Ive been let down from a game because of a sales guys opinion before. Nowadays I always try renting the games first to get my opinion on it. I rented Bioshock and I liked it. I beat it twice inside a week but after that I was done with it and went on to something else. I think its a pretty good game that I give much praise for its originality. Now that ive played it I believe why things like game informer gave it 10 out of 10 was because of the games originality. But then again I had pretty high expectations from it too after all the great reviews it got. I might have also just been led to believe it was greater than it is.

Where are you? Have you fought a Big Daddy? Have you started upgrading your weapons?

La Chat Noire 10-12-2008 07:09 AM

I'm in Neptune's Bounty and I just got the camera. The Big Daddy's kill me a lot. In terms of upgrading, I have a lot of good weapons but in terms of upgrading my plasmids I haven't done too much of that yet.

Stayed at my bro's this past week and he had it. I only got to neptunes bounty so I can't say much but I thought it was great. Definately not one of the best game like most say though, I really don't get why people thought so, althought it may have gotten better later on.

I do want to get it when I get a 360 though and the story sounded pretty cool. Whooped like 4 big daddy's. Wasn't too scary like people said. Except in the first level when the lights go out and like 4-5 enemies come at you.

It's one of the best, because it's unique and different than your standard, FPS games. There are things I would change, sure. But what game would you not?
