Why is Bioshock 2 so disliked?
I thought it was fun
It's the best one
It isnt. Shut the fuck up already you newfag. We've been sucking it's dick for years

It focused more on game play instead of the cinematic drama that the gaming media loves.
I never understood it either, it was panned a lot more than Bioshock 1 even though it was basically an improved version with a weaker story
Most of people who played it really like it
That being said only 3 people played it
Was the theme park in number 1 or number 2, because that shit was hilarious.
"THE PARASITE SAYS YOU MUST GO TO WAR AND DIE! THE PARASITE MUST TAKE ITS DUE! THE PARASITE..."
That Big Daddy is so much cooler than the original ones.
it's not disliked, it's just found far less of a place in the popular consciousness for being "more of that" where "that" was (whether you like the game or not) one of the most original, defining, and beloved titles of its generation
it's like fapping after the ~100th time. it's still great and your technique's probably gotten way better, but it's simply never going to feel as good as it used to.

Hit a nerve there?
Better than Infinite, but still inferior to the first.

It's the best Bioshock
I'd only played the first one, how is the gun play and gun customization in 2 and Infinite anyway?

its 2

I thought it had better gameplay and narrative.

this is exactly how I feel about it. the story, antagonist, etc. was overall weaker, but the gameplay was improved in an amount that I felt was almost equal to the amount that the story degraded
instead, you hear about how 2 is just terrible, but infinite is amazing.
honestly
2=1>infinite

The gameplay was only marginally improved, which doesn't make up for the large downgrade in pretty much everything else like the story, environments, and characters.
The shooting at its core is still clunky and making the drill run on fuel was as poor decision. The only thing it really does noticeably better than 1 was not fucking up completely in the last third.

I forgot to mention, the Big Sisters fucking suck.
>Promised to be dynamic and unpredictable encounters, ended up occurring after saving a little sister every time
>Removed the Big Daddies initial neutral state, so you don't have any time to prepare for a fight or determine a plan of approach. Just full on shoot the bullet sponge until it dies
>>319383839
Because its unnecessary
One of the big reasons that 2 was disliked was they got a whole different 2K stuido that was just focused on the multiplayer that turned out to be a complete piece of shit.
With a single player that was merely good, a cash grab multiplayer that took just as much money and time and was just awful really hurt it.

Was the multiplayer that bad? I never bothered to play it and just assumed it was mediocre and dead.
It's fun but I'd enjoy it more if it didn't crash every 5 minutes whenever I tried to play it

Dead on arrival practically. The queues were always small and it was unstable as fuck.
The main problem was that it was horrifically unbalanced. It was a leveled unlock system that forced you to grind to unlock the better weapons and the plasmids. But the lobby didn't divide people by level, so it dropped you into rooms with only a pistol against level 40+ guys that just stomp you over an over again and prevent your progression. Like beating you head against a wall, except less fun.
Considering it was a parallel development studio with just the same amount of time and money as the single player, it was absolutely unacceptable.
