Bioshock 2 is the only good one. The first game is carried by its setting and by the LE EPIC PLOT TWIST but the game itself is a fucking chore.

you keep posting this thread bro

i agree, bioshit is overrated
but during the time it was released, which was pretty long ago, this game was considered elit

also, this was a time when many other games were shit, during a very bad moment of the video games industry

demons souls basically did the same thing
they released something "different" which wasn't complete shit
and the people got carried away

souls and bioshock are definitely mediocre shit

True that op I never played Bioshock till way after it came out because at the time my POS graphics card didnt support the pixel shaders I needed to play it. I played it right after I beat System Shock 2 for the first time way later and I didn't enjoy it at all. I missed the inventory management and the whole game felt really dumbed down in comparison ended up closing it after not too long

except it isn't - because it is integral to the experience, as i've explained.

that's something only "gaming jurnalism" and wannabees care about, with their usual blindness for actually good parts of game: semi-open maps, scavenging for resources, hidden goodies, and learning backstory by collecting holotapes.
Bioshock 2 only expanded these areas, adding to them vastly improved combat

even complete plebs acknowledge that farcry 4 is shit

One of the only games ever that i actually gave up on finishing, was just as dull and boring (plot wise) as farcry 2 while adding no new game elements at all from farcry 3

also the protagonist was suicide worthy, had no depth or relation to the environment past muh dad

well portal 1 was literally just puzzles with shitty music-less loading in between each.

If the game had proper controls and you weren't blocked by a fetch quest every 10 minutes I feel the game could legitimately be beaten in about an hour and a half. I feel like half the game is backtracking and cumbersome fighting.

Gee, I wonder why that is? Oh, I know. It must be just some faggot being contratian, instead of the fact overrated games are usually just games that are said to be better than they are.
