BioShock 2 will have some sort of Multiplayer (SIGH)

As long as it's co-op.

NEVER said about any games I'm currently playing that ARE original, so that argument must be rejected.

It's totally unoriginal as in it's nothing more than a FPS with a bit of stealth thrown in. The quests were nothing more than "go from here to there, get this and bring it back". Most of the game for me was just going where the arrow told me and take it from there, then retrace my footsteps and get a little reward and [repeat].

That camera thing where you had to take photos was utterly boring as hell. So not only did I have to spend a few hours getting to point "B", but now I've gotta go back through everything and photograph everything I took from "A" to "B" in the most prettiest of ways just to get some additional points.

Enemies were boring (apart from Bid Daddy), and while I admit that the graphics were 'nice' and very 'fitting' to the atmosphere, were quite simply boring after a while.

No wonder you didn't enjoy it, you were playing it wrong!
You never had to retrace your footsteps :confused:

And you didn't get any points for photographing things you had killed etc so you didnt "go back through everything and photograph everything I took from "A" to "B"" :confused:

As For "in the most prettiest of ways", again, no, if you photographed an "action" scene, i.e. a Splicer attacking you you scored more points, because it took a small ammount of skill and bravado to get the shot.
If you weren't going for the achievements you didn't have to use the camera.

The different types of Splicer got progressivly harder.

Name me another FPS that has all the elements of Bioshock?

Don't diss B'Shopck or I'll cry

Spoilers much?

Not unless you were going to stick your head in the sand and never read anything about the game untill it's released. It's a bit like saying someone spoiled Call Of Duty for you because they told you you play as a Soldier

I have to agree with J a bit here,

The Art design and direction, and basic idea of the game are BRILLIANT

The game play, whilst fun, is sub par, yes you can turn the arrow of, but I didn't, I just followed it shooting anything along the way

I'd much prefer co-op but I think it might ruin the atmosphere of the game, I always felt Bioshock to be very centered on one person's struggle through the game world.

Not interested in any versus gamemodes at all really, but I have faith that whatever it is, it'll work.

No co-op mode, so, I guess the MP is team death match and capture the flag. :rolleyes:

Capture the sister obviously

bioshock was just too bland for me. thinking about it, some of the larger areas you encounter in bioshock would have been well suited to multi player, though im thinking deathmatch rather than co-op here. actually that'd be great fun firing plasmids at 16 other online players. it'd be like cs but with superpowers
