TCP Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 What? Why? Didn't you snag Bioshock 2 off PS+? And Bioshock comes with Infinite on PS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Because it has barnacles, silly! Â Best. Bonus. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Bioshock 2 was never offered in the us for psn plus. Â I mostly got it because it comes with all the dlc on the disc. And it'll look nice to Infinite on my shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yeah it was. Confession: I never played Bioshock 1 or 2. But I'm loving the living shit out of Infinite, so I'll be playing through the rest of the series next. Hopefully Bioshock isn't too dated.

deanb Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 It has a unique style. It's also Unreal 2.5 as opposed to the (kinda aging now too) Unreal 3 Infinite (and many other 7th gen games) uses. Infinite also has a custom lighting solution too, which makes Infinite pretty pretty. The water however is pretty much the same. Age okay though. It's also got a shit ton more jump scares and tension than Infinite (which has..one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) I don't think the original BioShock is dated at all. Might not look as great as more recent titles, but honestly, who gives a shit about graphics. Also, the original has pretty much ruined water effects in games for me. Now, whenever I can walk through water falling down, I have to look up. In most games, you basically just clip through a flat texture with an animation on it, and as you look up it's like you're standing in the middle of a sheet of paper or something and it kills the illusion right there. In BioShock, your vision gets all blurry and filled with water. Small detail but a really nice touch, imho. Â It's also got a shit ton more jump scares and tension than Infinite (which has..one). Â And it's a damn good one! My heart almost jumped out of my chest. It was awesome. I didn't find the original to be scary at all, though. Creepy? Maybe a bit. But every time someone talks about how scary they thought it was, they just sound like huge pussies. Edited April 16, 2013 by FLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Bioshock also has a great art style to carry it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Bioshock 1 graphically has aged pretty well. The shooting is off though. Its...not great. It's good enough, but its not going to win any awards. Actually none of the gameplay is spectacular. It has a lot of variety, so thats how it makes it up. Shitloads of minigames. Â And no, its not scary, its just disturbing and dark. It has a very dreadful atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 To be honest, the shooting isn't all that great in Infinite either. I wouldn't go as far as some people and claim that it's outright bad. It's just never been the series' main strength. It's.. serviceable. Â The customization is better in the original, though. And that makes combat a bit more interesting. And then you throw in the photography mini-game. Infinite's combat feels a bit more bare bones in comparison.

Waldorf and Statler Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 What Bioshock 2 lacked in Oomph compared to B1 and Infinite, it uppedin gameplay feel. Everything felt right and it was fun to use thedrill. Â Â FREEZING. DRILL. MODAFUCKAAAAAAAAAAAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) I feel like Bioshock 2 gets a bad rap. If it didn't follow a game that was so beloved as the first one, people would remember it more fondly. It wasn't a bad game at all. It was just never going to have that same impact.
