No remastered multiplayer, not worth my time.
Pretty good game series
>>335882282
I don't know if this cover art is official or anything but I like it
>>335882403
>No remastered multiplayer
My heart, BS2 MP was the best shit ever.
Even with the OP combo everyone used.
One-shotting cbow shitters from across the maps with the elephant gun and out-skilling homing shitters with bouncing AOE grenade damage was the fucking best.
I'M TRYING
God damn 2k, I dont want a collection I want remastered.
>>335882985
>OP combos
I dunno about that shit but I had two approaches:
>Sit in a room with only one or two entrances and put electrified traps under the doorways--this always instant-killed players. I had the passive Eve recovery to keep doing it forever.
>Houdini+Freeze, with the tonics for Backstabber and longer Houdini. I'd swap to this loadout any time anyone became a Big Daddy and I'd sit around a corner, use Houdini, freeze them from behind and hammer until they died. Backstabs on Big Daddies took out about a third of their health, shit was so cash
I enjoyed that multiplayer verily.
Fuck niggas with the Bees though.
>>335883343
This, Bioshock 1 looks ugly as sin now
>>335882282
I only want the 1/3 tho. Maybe 2/3 but no more!
>>335883349
Electro bolt + Cbow and headshot buff = free kills
Electro bolt never got the nerf it needed for stun time.
And cbow + buff = 1HK for headshots
Not sure how you never experienced this enough to remember it.
>>335883603
damage buff*
>>335883603
Oh, yeah, I'd been one-shot by crossbows before but since my strategy was typically more hiding and lurking around, I wasn't sniped in most matches.
I remember that one circular map where you could spring up to little high-nested windows and snipe people. I'd always check for snipers up there, or on other similar popular balconies.
>>335883603
If you let a dude run up on you and hit you with Electro Bolt, you were probably dead anyway.
What frustrated me is that Backstabber had no practical use outside of ganking Big Daddies. Even with the Sports Boost, you couldn't reliably catch up to any player on the move and when it came to immobile players you didn't need the Backstab to kill them anyway.
>>335883920
>little high-nested windows
Farmer's Market?
The one where a lot of the action would boil down the stair-case in the middle?
And the annoying ass turret to the side that would always be camped by a shitter?
>>335884058
Electro Bolt has good range though, and BS maps were pretty close quartered as it is.
I backstabbed a fair bit, but yeah it happened more for spawn mishaps/AFK/ and people who were camping and unaware of shortcuts.
There were a lot of niche loadouts you could play for fun. Shame it was rarely fun with everybody either on the cbow or machine gun.
WAIT
A
MINUTE
>>335884347
I don't understand this meme. People don't think this was supposed to be a puzzle, do they?
>>335884450
>>335884450
It was a really dumb thing to leave in seeing as it probably served a bigger and more important purpose before everything got changed.
It's just so glaringly silly, people spammed it.
>>335884450
Share your Dark Souls level lore with us my dude
>tfw Infinity DLCs never get more than 50% on sales
>>335884632
I will always shill CiTC forever.
Shows BSI could have been great if Levine hadn't lost it.
>>335884572
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BLACK ONE?
>>335882985
Unfortunately 2K and all their retarded fanboys are convinced BioShock 2 is a piece of shit while 3 is some kind of masterpiece.
>>335884829
Yeah, what the fuck.
>>335884843
Well BS2's campaign was shit compared to 1, and I'll even defend 3 even though it didn't have anyone close to Augustus "HAND FULL OF HELLFIRE" Sinclair
And 3 was going to have like three MP modes but they got scrapped fairly early on.
2K have said Bioshock isn't "officially" dead though, but we all know to not trust any thing publishers say.
>>335883349
when I tried it, it felt awful on 360 just very janky and underproduced compared to the amazing campaign
I assume it was a lot better on PC
>>335884632
i dont think it will ever go lower, it took me forever for me just find the bioshock 2 dlc on any kind of sale so last year i just said fuck it and got the triple pack and infinity season pass for 20 bucks and called it a day.
>>335885013
>it felt awful on 360
It took getting used to, I know it's a shitty excuse but it was a little janky, but really fun nonetheless.
And it's non-existent on PC due to P2P.
>>335884347
It's a tutorial for something that isn't in the game. That's how big of a mess bioshock inf is.
I hate it, i hate the fact that a lot of people love it even more.
>>335884632
Yeah wtf is up with that. I have no desire to play Infinite again and wasn't thrilled after reading about the new Rapture stuff but I still probably would have bought it by now if it went on sale for $5 like every other Bioshock game.
>>335884583
What purpose was that? I still don't get the pic, can someone explain?
>>335885140
Pretty sure it's steam policy.
Same happened with Borderlands 2 and Dishonored.
Season Passes never get good deals.
>>335885095
>You're not allowed to love bad games.
Dark Sector didn't win any awards and by most things is a terrible game, but it's one of my favorites still.
>>335885313
I have no idea, it's just an educated guess from how out of place it is, and how much dev-hell BSI went through.
>>335885394
Fuck you I love dark sector.
I'm saying bad games shouldn't be a critical hit.
>>335885478
I love it too mang, I'm just speaking objectively.
>I'm saying bad games shouldn't be a critical hit.
BSI was hardly a critical hit.
If I game can't survive relevancy past its release 15 minutes, it's not a hit.
>>335885347
devs and publishers set the prices and amount of discount. if you think bethesda and 2k are bad just look up price histories of call of duty games.
>>335884238
Yeah, Farmer's Market. I wasn't a big fan of that map. My sneaky bullshit shenanigans usually worked for the best in the hydroponics area with all the plants and in the zone that had a sort of movie-theater aesthetic. That one had the statue of the octopus, I think?
I enjoyed the Boiler Room map a lot, too.
I recall a lot of people using the grenade launcher.
I also really enjoyed the splicers you could play as. Each of them had some character quirks that were fun to discover.
>>335885709
>That one had the statue of the octopus
Point Prometheus?
Phew that map was hell.
Hephaestus was fun shit though.
Everyone clusterfucking in the vending machine room and endlessly dying for turret control.
>>335884994
Bioshock infinte is the proof that muh big twists and overcomplicated plots make a game great.
Bs2 story is pretty straight forward, no twists, no reveals, with great characterization and great interactions, and much better gunplay than bs1.
>>335885013
I played it on playstation.
It was pretty fast paced and fun for me, from what I recall. The more exciting bits reminded me of playing Unreal Tournament a little.
I think a lot of people complained it was tacked on but I have more fond memories of the multiplayer than the actual game.
>>335885640
It got rave reviews, it's awful.
People said the story was so deep, it's awful.
People fucking swoon over the sky bitch, she is stupid and I hate her.
I can never figure out what people like in the game, nothing is good.
I really hate this game.
>>335885835
Yeah, Point Prometheus. It had a lot of little nooks and crannies as well as big, long shooting galleries and balconies and shit--if I remember it right.
That said, Hephaestus was super fun. The room where the Big Daddy Suit spawned had several entrances but all the key points of control on the map were far from that area.
For some reason, I don't recall playing there too often. It feels like I was in the Docks and Fisheries for fucking ever online.
>>335885839
>Bioshock infinte is the proof that muh big twists and overcomplicated plots make a game great.
The twists hardly made BSI great.
The Lutece's, Fink and the few decent characters and the over-all adventure did.
And BS2 only had Sinclair and I guess Eleanor but it just felt forced to me.
Didn't have its Steinman or Cohen or any other memorable character.
And say what you want, but Ryan was atleast a solid antag whether you like the twist or not. Lamb was a joke.
>>335885958
"Journo's and e-celebs opinions mean nothing.
>>335885313
Perhaps the game was going to have future implications of the meaning of the key, sword and,i dont remember the other, in the story. But got scrapped
Bioshock infinite lacks focus and theme. Every 3 chapters the game would completelly change focus, without no proper conclusion or development for the themes of the chapters before:
>muh american history and roots
>racism is bad
>muh super science
>muh actually humans are assholes and the victims of racism can be jerks too
>muh ignore all that and parallel universes
>>335886043
Yeah, maps tended to go to Fort Frolic, Kasmir, and Medical more than most.
I barely got to even play the DLC maps and they were better than the originals.
>>335885347
Yeah but it's not just Steam, even on key reselling sites the lowest I've seen the DLC go is for $7-8.
I find it hard to believe that anyone who would possibly be interested in Bioshock haven't played the games yet.
This is just another redundant last gen remaster that's cheaper and less riskier than making NEW GAMES.
>>335886121
BSI was more focused on the Irish than Blacks if you payed close attention which is kind of funny.
Besides Daisy's generic character, the game barely made it a point more than /v/ and /v/'s enemies did.
>>335886121
God damn it, it was a mess...
Although I just knew after playing for like 2-3 hours.. Shit was disappointing.
Elizabeth was cool though, I guess.
>>335886056
Holy shit, i meant that twists DONT make games great, sorry. I dont defend BI in any form (Maybe Except visual)
I dont have the video here, but that Black chick reaction when you dont kill her is more meaningful than all of Bioshock infinite. Eleanor Mother actually made you hate her guts. That fucking mini story told over the audio logs about a father looking for his daugther and the ending of said story
>>335886167
It was fun playing as a dumbass trigger-happy sploicer. I feel like the online had a lot more character than online play in most other shooters.
>Tfw "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOSE!"
>>335886254
>Less Riskier
>>335886056
>their opinions mean nothing.
To people like you and me, yes that is true.
But people watch these celebs and just copy their opinion, so now you have a whole lot of people crying for a game to be just like bioshock infinite, and they will pay money for it.
>>335886254
Muh graphics
>>335886308
I didn't like her, she felt forced, half the time she didn't even do anything. I really think they took away stocking up on eve and health packs to give her a function.
She was a glorified dispenser with tits. I didn't care about her at all.
>>335882282
>have all 3 games already
>even infinishit
>worst game on my list by far
Why do people say BS2 was worse than 1 in terms of story? It was linear, simple, and didn't need a BIG TWEEST to be interesting
>>335886345
Mark Meltzer, man
That shit hit me.
People shit on Bioshock 2 for being an unnecessary retread of Rapture, but I feel like it improved every aspect of the gameplay while telling some interesting stories.
I think what it lacked were the set-pieces that Infinite had. Which, frankly, was one of the only worth-a-shit improvements Infinite brought to the franchise, while everything else was two steps backwards.
>>335885478
I didn't hate it and played it to completion.
Glave was fun.
>>335886345
I think you should stop letting video game media's popular opinion affect you so much.
>grace is better than BSI
Not even.
She was a boring character, through and through.
>>335886364
BS MP was a weird and great thing.
Shame 2K didn't spend extra on dedicated servers.
>>335886450
People felt done with Rapture, I guess.
I'm the motherfucker who liked 2 so much that I bought into the Infinite Hype from the second it was only rumors and images floating around online. I even got the collector's edition that came with the Skybird, who has a great design. Here I was, like a rube, believing the Skybird would be akin to Resident Evil's Mr. X or Nemesis--a big unkillable fucker who would randomly swoop down or crash through a wall or stalk you through the streets and provide tension throughout the game.
Instead, we got two scripted cutscenes. It's less of a character than the banker whose name I can't even recall. What a piece of shit.
>>335882985

These games are cheap as dirt now. Why the fuck would I buy these games on new hardware for 60 dollars
>>335882985
At first the mp seemed tacked on but I really liked it. I was one of the crossbow headshot electric shitters of course
>>335886718
Nail gun was pretty fun.
Used to run that and the Elephant but having both kind of fucked me.
Ended up hopping between vanilla grenade/sawed off shotgun and elephant
And I never did stick with one plasmid.
Bees were pretty fucked in the meta though, as everyone could still function fairly well.
>>335886790
die
bioshock had best story, poor ending, but the whole would you kindly twist was unsuspecting and didnt feel forced
bioshock 2, meh ending and story, had considerably improved gameplay
bioshock inf felt like they came up with the ending first, and wrote a story around that. felt forced, and tried to be too clever. story was uninteresting, gameplay was average. felt like i was pushing through the gameplay painstakingly just to find out what happens in the end
>>335886731
Eh, it's not a competitive FPS. It's a fun little video game, man.
I wouldn't play Counterstrike or Quake on a console, but shit like Halo and Bioshock feels fine there.
I'm probably a pleb, though. I'd rather have games on console than on PC if they have better controls for console. For RTS and most Shooters, I'd be on PC, but for action games and RPGs and shit, I stick to console.
>>335886826
Sneaky-backstaby-trappy faggot here.
I usually just relied on melee and plasmids to kill my enemies, but I recall using the Shotgun and the Grenade Launcher for when I had to commit to a shoot-out.
>>335884829
it's in jail
>>335882282
does it have the bioshock 2 DLC that was on xbox but not PC?
>>335887136
Minerva's Den is on PC now.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/244610/
>>335887176
Minerva's Den was probably better than the entirety of Bioshock 2.
>>335887176
i meant the protector trials
i enjoy the defence sections of bioshock 2
>>335882282
Wait /bsg/ MADE THIS!!! well sort of, the color and layout are very similar

To be fair, minervas den was better than the entirety of Bioshock as a series
>>335886890
Why do you separate the ending and the story like they're different categories?

>>335887610
>Paid Reviews
>Story so up its own ass it can't help but fellate itself
>Gameplay a step back from previous Bioshock titles; Weapon limit for no reason, Weapon upgrades purely statistical, Plamids too same-y, game is incredibly linear with the exception of one or two areas
Nevermind that the game we were promised and shown and talked up on was not the game that was delivered.
>>335887610
Two of those things are wrong and one of them is meaningless.
>>335888021
Legacy of Kain did an up-its-own-ass time travel plot better than Bioshock Infinite.
Bioshock 2 did gameplay better than Infinite.
I just
I really didn't like that game.
>>335888021
>Plamids too same-y
I disagree.
Devil's Kiss was better than Incinerate.
Bronco though OP as shit, was a nice addition.
Return To Sender also should have been in 1/2.
Granted they were knockoffs so it's canon some are Fink-Chink shit.
>game is incredibly linear
So are BS1 & 2
>>335888206
Also I think you meant the plasmid traps are too samey which I will agree on.
BRING BACK BIOSHOCK 2 MULTIPLAYER

nah nigga it's Levine and IG that hates BS2
2K owns IG and knows that all that masterpiece citizen kane is bullshit and doesn't matter since they kept delaying the fucking game's release and barely broke even on the sales.
After all, they had to fire shitloads of people working at IG a few months after Infinite was released.
>>335889713
>After all, they had to fire shitloads of people working at IG a few months after Infinite was released.
2k literally had to dissolve the studio AFTER shelling out for company counseling.
Levine took a few people with him for his next(?) game.
This guy is Nate Wells, the guy in charge of art faggotry in most games made by Irrational Games. Shit like Thief 1 and 2, SWAT4, System Shock 2 and Bioshock.
He resigned from Irrational Games during the development of Bioshock Infinite and moved to Naughty Dog and helped them with Last of Us instead.
Turns out he left because Levine was a huge fucking faggot that kept rewriting the story so the art team had to redo all their shit to fit in the new rewrite. One story he mentioned was how they were working on Shantytown and made the place full of colorful ragtag shit to offset the fact that the place is the slums. They worked on it for months and Levine never said anything, never corrected them. Then one day he said it needed to be changed to a dark, gloomy, and mucky shithole so that the area would show the dark side of Columbia.
>>335887826
In the case of Infinity, they are different categories. 3/4ths of the story has nothing to do with the ending.
Just imagine Bioshock remastered with PBR and better lighting in UE4, this is something it could look like.

You mean "Everything is shiny as fuck" engine?
>>335891197
That looks awful, sure people would benefit, but it kills everything else.
