Bioshock

August 16, 2007, 12:59 PM

I've just preordered the Bioshock game that comes with a Big Daddy figure as well as a soundtrack and making of dvd. I can't wait for this to come out as I really did love System Shock 2 (was a great game). From what I've seen of Bioshock, they've outdone themselves and it looks to be the game of the year. Here's a trailer for those who don't know about it.

I took down the demo on the 360..
the graphics are amazing. but I thought the gameplay to be somewhat clishé.
im not shure why, but it was like i had played it before..

but the game itself. looking from a gamers POV, its rather cool the shadows are NASTY. youre almost crapping youre pants all the way ^^

its a really eerie game

Yeah, I've only seen the trailer myself but the graphics look pretty amazing even without me playing it. I also like the concept of it....underwater killing monsters, lol. Maybe I can get my cousin to get one if I push him hard enough.

My Friend online was telling me about this, I for one think it look amazing and the weapons are a cool idea.
Plasmids - You can change the elemental factor of one and shoot rays from your hand.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I still don't have a 360 so I don't see myself playing it in the near future.

My boyfriend is going crazy about it. He already reserved it at Best buy for the PC. Graphics look great but it's not my type of game.

This game looks fantastic but really doesn't appeal to me for some reason. Not sure why. Just looks too simpleminded to me.

If it plays anything like System Shock 2, it'll be far from simple minded. Here's a video of System Shock 2...but remember that this was released in 1999, so don't expect the graphics to be as good as something like Doom3. They're pretty damn good for the time, which added with the music helped to emerse you in the atmosphere. The game is set on a computer-controlled spaceship that decides to rebel....think Event Horizon meets Matrix.

I know that this isn't Bioshock, but it's what was the base foundation of what Bioshock is all about. So if you like Bioshock, you should be interesed in System Shock 2....or vice versa.

Well they added a lot of different features like using injections to use magic, setting up tech devices via mini-games, a variety of guns, and lots of environment manipulation... but in the end it still all boils down to how much are you shocked and awed by pretty effects and killing people in unique ways. That is what I see as simple minded. It's just killing with a simple plot about some little girls being protected by very big mechs.

Then you would pretty much find all shooting games simpleminded then. Do you not like them? I'll admit that most are boring but games that actually create a great atmosphere (like System Shock, AVP and Half Life for example) can make a game than just a shooter. Games like Doom were great but there's nothing much that sets it apart from other games now. I'll admit that shooters aren't my favourite game choice but when one comes along that holds my interest, it's bound to be good.

I've heard of this game I'm not really looking forward to it that much, but I might by it for the PC.
