Kill yourself.

Bioshock 2 is better than 1.

Bioshock 1 is a tacky remake of System Shock 2. Twist included.

Liking Bioshock 1 is the mark of the casual who only got into gaming in 2007, and this was the first game they ever really played that had a story.

BioShock 2 story was good though.
Infnite aped BioShock 2 story hard and made it shittier.

>>335775764

This, I cringe when people saying Bioshock was revolutionary, it was literally a rehash. I mean a literal actual rehash of System Shock 2. Same plot with characters names change, same type of gameplay but dumbed down. Only difference was a new setting.

Bioshock 2 improved the gameplay and level design, and at least had an original story that didn't rip off another game completely.

Yes it is, and your response admits to being new.

So many people only started playing games in 2007 when the Wii got popular and then got a 360/PS3 and then the first few AAA release story games they played suddenly got huge mainstream acclaim out of nowhere, even though they were no better, or even worse than a lot of previous games. It was so obvious at the time there were newfags in gaming everywhere and demographics were changing seeing that mediocre shit started getting praised to the high heavens, and suddenly old features became "revolutionary".

But I am sick of you fucking shits wanking off about Bioshock, and then you had the nerve to bitch about a sequel without realizing BS1 was a fucking remake in the first place. How great it was that BS2 turned out to be better than BS1 anyways.

Bioshock 2's story was good, Bioshock 1 is a rehash, and don't group the Infinite fag in with the other two people.

>Hello, I have never read Ayn Rand before so Bioshock 1 was my introduction to Objectivism, Free Markets and Libertarianism

If you weren't a fucking uneducated child when you played BS1, you would have realized what a retarded clusterfuck full of strawmen and plotholes the story was. Bioshock 1 was so bad, not to mention it falls apart after the twist completely which leaves a third of the game being utter garbage.

At least 2 didn't try to over extend itself with pseudo intellectualism and fall apart like 1 did. 2's choices and consequences system was actually good too since your daughter would learn from your actions.

Rapture was destroyed by Libertarianism in 1 though

It was CoD4, not the Wii. It helped though. It was marketed to families, so that's how today's minecraft generation got introduced to games, but ultimately Call of Duty is what taught the mainstream to play games. Its why their all subhuman Abu Hajjars.

I love the first game but Bioshock 2 was, in my eyes, an even better game than the first for many reasons, the way plasmids always function as some kind of alt-attack instead of BS1's way of having to put away your gun and "wielding" the plasmid as another

Also hacking minigames were much less annoying and immersive breaking and I also think the enemy variety was better, and they somehow managed to make that tedious "protect little sister harvesting" shit that was already piss boring and annoying in one single fucking corridor in the first game a completely okay and endurable gameplay element in the second one.especially with how many trap you could set up. I actually really liked roaming those areas and setting up mines and trip wires and little turrets and hacking security cams before letting the Little Sister harvest. If you prepped well enough the area basically defended itself and I really enjoyed that shit.

This was all over the whole game in Bioshock 2 and I loved it and it made sense and was optional, while in Bioshock 1 you had that harvesting part in one single corridor before the final boss and it felt out of place and was tedious and I hated it.

2 had no big plot twists like the first game, it was a much more straight forward story, but it felt much more personal, and I really liked the story.

2 is basically a natural expansion of 1, another story set in that world, with improved gameplay elements all over the place, a really good sequel hands down.

now Bioshock Infinite, that game was just pure crap, from start to finish, shit plot, shit gameplay, shit visuals, and I wish I still had those 30€ so I could put them into something I'd enjoy more.

The setting is the best part of Bioshock and is what made it so memorable.

I've literally had BS1 fags admit to me they didn't even know who Ayn Rand was and thought BS1 invented the idea of Free Markets and Objectism. They thought the game was revolutionary art that invented a philosophy.

>>335776976

By libertarian strawmen.

>>335777005

COD4 was big but COD didn't get super huge like it is today until MW2. The Wii is what introduced the mainstream the gaming, a lot of kids and teenagers of course went and got PS3/360 and played COD4 as well as other AAA shit at the time. But it took until 2009 at MW2's release for everyone to fully switch over and the Wii got old.

So? Who the fuck cares? Good for you, you knew who a well known writer was before you played a video game. So did everyone else who went to highschool, retard. You're not special

>>335777445
>you knew who a well known writer was before you played a video game.

So to you, Ayn Rand is just some well known writer.

If you had actually learned anything about the philosophies of Objectivism, Libertarianism and Free Markets before playing BS1 you would have realized it was a pants on head retarded story that made no sense, and the game world and setting themselves also made little sense and were just a mish mashed clusterfuck of retarded shit.

Yeah the art was cool, but it was also stolen. It's just Art Deco style architecture, and plenty of people have done underwater cities before. It's not original at all. Hell, fucking The Phantom Menace had an underwater city scene in it.

But then Infinite happened and it was SO good it retroactively made playing Bioshock worth it.

That is still something no other video game ever accomplished.

*sigh*Moron.

Levine wanted to work out a different style of game because he was finished with experiences like the Bioshock games. He needed time to work on a game idea with a replayable narrative and he couldn't keep two hundred people just sitting by doing nothing.

If anything, it just means nobody else at Irrational had any ideas for a game. Idiot.

What's crazy is that people say the gameplay is somewhat 200 times better than the original.
Sure, the formula was refined a little bit - but GREAT?

I played both games on hard, and in the second you feel just as squishy as the first one. So much for the "Big Daddy experience". If it weren't for the underwater parts (which had no combat and were just pointless walks) and the drill, I'd forget I was playing one at all.

What's more amazing, though, is that there's real people out there who preferred that insufferable cunt that is Sofia Lamb to Andrew Ryan.
