Sooo... finished Bioshock in 2 sittings

yes I agree SC1 shouldn't really be there but the thing is many of those classic highly rated games really don't have that many reviews compared to todays games, actually it would be interesting to ponder if those very highly rated classics had of been reviewed by 90+ reviewers like Halo/RE4/HL2 if they would have still made it to such a high position on the chart, I'm not sure they would have done tbh but then I could be wrong (I know it would have been hard for games like GE to of been reviewed 100+ times due to lack of reputable reviewer/sources at the time but I'm just hypothesizing), I just feel games like RE4 that have been reviewed 106 times with an average score of 95.8 beats Ocarina of Time easy even with its average score of 97.7 because it was only reviewed 32 times, I think it's a fair system provided the games have been reviewed enough times by respectable reviewers to enable you gain a reliable mean/average score which I believe games like I stated above (Halo/RE4/HL2) have been, and I can confidently say that they deserve their rating and Bioshock is on it's way to gaining it's respect to with 52 reviews already and growing with an average score of 95.8, it definitly deserves to be in the top 10 that I'm sure of.

All I'm saying is that reviewers can easily get caught up in the hype and rate a game highly because other publications did (conversely some go against the grain on purpose for attention). I usually completely ignore reviews and try to play the demo or get personal opinions to judge games.
 
Its made by bioware, I think people will agree with me when I say they have a very good history with previous games and mass effect is a big project for them. It stands out a lot because its the only rpg worth talking about this year and it is set to be a really good one at that. Bioshock on the other hand doesnt stand out, maybe now but in a few months people will be torn between it and the barrage of quality fps games coming out, but if mass effect lives up to expectations, it will walk away with goty.
 
i still cant kill the first big daddy, dont have any nades or anything like that, its getting boring trying to kill him now :(

Electric shocks followed by pretty much any weapon. You not have armour piercing rounds yet?

I agree, I don't think it's better than the darkness. I'd be amazed if it gets GOTY. 2 months from now no-one will be talking about bioshock.

Thats because ANY game that is 2 months old is OLD.

Why would anyone be talking about a single player game 2 months after release?

You said the same about forza2 and seem to think that just because people on here are not talking about it,no one in the world is.

I just ran around the post on the pier hitting him with the shotgun and Electric shock. Come to think of it if he's stuck he can wear him down with the wrench.

I think they shouldve made the Big Daddies agressive to you on sight. After about the 2nd or 3rd level they are very easy. If they were aggressive you would learn to steer clear of those footstep sounds and have less time to prepare a few prox mines and rpgs.

People have said they use the tactic of one attacking another. Yet I've never seen two even remotely near each other on the map :confused:

Sorry I meant because in 2 months much better games will have come along on all systems so people wont be talking about it as game of the year. I didn't make that clear, sorry.
 
Any idea why i dont have the phd achievement when i have done all the research enemy achievements? im sure its something obvious

Id re-start the game again if i was you:p, i mean if you cant kill him and havent got any weapons then im afraid your just wasting your time tbh. Your better off re-starting the whole game again, just make sure you dont use all your weapons and plasmids before you get to the big daddy. As dannyjo said earlier on, use the wrench to kill off the splicers...one or 2 good quick hits usually results in them being killed pretty much on the spot.

Ive re-started the game myself after finishing it early last week and im hardly using any bullets or plasmids to kill off the splicers. Killing the BDS with weapons is easy now as i pretty much have a full load of ammo really.
 
Hmm i thought i done them also....im guessing theres not an achievement for them, problem is theres only like 1 of them left in the game to research :p

Zap 'n Thwack.
 
Well... whether it's GOTY the year or not doesn't interest me in the slightest. What it is... polished, full of depth, scary, challenging and most of all - great fun!
I think that is enough :cool:

I'd agree with all of that except polished, because what does that mean in reference to a game? Oh and challenging, its **** easy. Whats challenging about any of it. If you die you respawn with the target still having the damage and the re-spawn points are plentifull enough that you don't have to wander far.

The enviroments are about as good as it gets.
 
polished for me mainly means that the gaming interfaces are pretty much perfect, which i think they are. All the hacking screens, gatherers garden and the like fit into the game seemlessly. Not once did they take me out of the game experience.

Ah ok see what that means. Thanks:). They are seemless, got a bit bored of hacking though, I tend to use the auto hacks. Thought it was cool the first 50 times and I found the safes a real PITA to start with til I got the tonics:D
