Sporb Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Given that I enjoyed the original Bioshock and its spiritual predecessor System Shock 2, am I likely to enjoy Bioshock 2 and/or Bioshock Infinite? This is relevant now because the games are on sale on Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanBlue Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 No idea about Infinite but Bioshock 2 is pretty similar to Bioshock 1. Liked it a little less but you should buy it if you enjoyed the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpetinus Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Bioshock 2 is just as good except in one point: the story isn't as great as in the first one. It's still good, just not so amazingly good. About Infinite.. I still don't know how to feel about it. I completed it and part of me wants to call it a Call of Duty, only on floaty buildings. But atleast it has a unique story. Gameplay though is lacking. Just my personal opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Letter W Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Probably. The creativity and art direction are still there. That's mostly why I enjoyed them though. The atmosphere in all three is nothing short of fantastic. Bioshock 2 gets a lot of flack and I really don't understand why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeetle Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Bioshock Infinite is the best, imo. It's jus so...complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenWyvern Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 From what I heard: Bioshock 1's story > Bioshock 2's story Buishock 1's gameplay < Bioshock 2's gameplay Can't say for myself! Haven't played them yet, they're still on my to-do list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButterStuffed Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I like all of them. I thought they were all worth the money I spent on them. I just got the DLC's for Infinite. Even if they aren't that good I just can't resist buying 3 DLC's for $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporb Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Well, that's helpful, even if it's just confirming what I had already gathered. I think I'll at least pick up Bioshock 2 during the sale as Infinite is more expensive. Nobody's saying they suck after all. Except perhaps for Palpetinus about Infinite. About Infinite.. I still don't know how to feel about it. I completed it and part of me wants to call it a Call of Duty, only on floaty buildings. But atleast it has a unique story. Gameplay though is lacking. Just my personal opinion. But floaty buildings are so coooool. But, seriously, I'll probably try it anyway. Based the original and what I've heard, I don't really expect the shooty elements to be the best parts really. Or are you saying the gameplay lacks in more respects than that?

Subscriber01236 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I need to play the Bioshock games at somepoint.Thinking next steam sale, i'll get the first one (maybe the bundle for the 1st 2 if it goes on sale for really cheap), and see where it goes from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based the original and what I've heard, I don't really expect the shooty elements to be the best parts really. Or are you saying the gameplay lacks in more respects than that? I'm not really thinking that it sucks, it's just that in 1 and 2 you get this feeling that's almost comparable to some sort of dungeon crawler. Everything is claustrophobic and you're happy to constantly upgrade yourself and weapons, which is even better in 2 than in 1. I also remember that I always used different plasmids for different situations, they're all viable in an own way. And that feeling, in 2, when I spot a Power To The People machine to upgrade a weapon. I just loved the character progression in 2. In Infinite I found exactly that to be extremely lacking. You either have no money for any good upgrades on weapons and plasmids, or once you have the upgrades they don't really impact gameplay at all. If you upgrade a weapon it may be a bit stronger, but hey, joke's one you, the enemies grew stronger already aswell and you basically have the same weapon you had an hour earlier.Oh and all those fun tonic upgrades like having a frozen wrench, more headshot damage, more damage while undetected, longer detection times on camaras and all that fun stuff that makes you customize your character? Forget it, there is no individuality like that in Infinite. I'm not saying Infinite is a horrible game and shouldn't be played, all I'm saying is that compared to 1 and 2 it was a huge disappointment to me.
