said like a fucking moron who's probably been riding the "lol Unity's shit!!" bandwagon for years, without even knowing why.

Unity's been good since v3, and v5 is just amazing. Friendly reminder that Cities Skylines and Escape From Tarkov run on it too.

>>344804584

It really doesn't. You'd think it does from screenshots, but then you play it, and even though the enemies are great so far, the enviroment looks like a setpiece mockup. It's not technically bad looking, but something about the way they've laid it all out together looks fake and hollow while you're moving around in it.

It needs a lot of work to get acceptable.

Not going to respect your "reply rules" since, Bioshock being a spiritual successor, opens comparison to SS1 and SS2. Unlike system shock and system shock 2 the exploration elements(the main point of the games) are largely non-existent. There's a few parts in Bioshock where you can choose which level to go to next, but the levels themselves play out very linear and minimal to no secrets or exploration based goals. There is minimal backtracking involved and usually if you finish a level you'll never see it again. If you're asking about this you probably havent played SS1, which has some of the best level design ever, constantly keeping the player exploring, unlocking new shortcuts, while providing just enough information to keep the player moving where they need to. In addition system shock takes it a step further by hiding things under tables or just out of reach, giving the player even more of a reason to explore with all the tools available. System shock places things where you might find them, Bioshock places things where you WILL find it. System shock provides tools for you to solve problems with, Bioshock grabs you by the hand and tells you what to do.

It's hard to come up with a list of Bioshock's faults, because there is simply nothing to the game. It is immensely shallow. They try to cover up the lack of depth with the littlesister/big daddy shit, but the entire point of that mechanic is to just give you some more power that you dont need since enemy AI is about as smart as SS1's. Gunplay is the exact same shit as every other console FPS being made at that time. Plasmids are just guns you use less, weapon upgrades are just there for the sake of reward cycles since the average consolefag loves making their number go up.(RPG stats for the sake of a reward system vs RPG stats for the sake of different gameplay styles).

out of characters but i already cared too much to write this
>>
>>344821872
It's meant for the Bioshock kiddies who either never tried or got stuck in the original game.

And bioshock didnt have shit for searchable items because you didnt have an inventory. Everything you find is ammo or health.

well its not a system shock game, just because its a "spiritual successor" doesnt mean it has to follow the same formula

It's funny you mention that because it actually was supposed to be just System Shock with new 3D graphics. That was back when it was first announced. When the kickstarter and demo released the current IP holders decided to scrap it all and make a remake instead, most likely because the original's puzzles would be considered too hard or obtuse by modern standards.
