Bioshock, hmmph

I tried it, but didn't really get into it. Been meaning to give it another go some time though as so many people seem to like it. (Not in this thread though :D)
 
It was ok, it just got very old and repetitive too quickly. The atmosphere and enviroments were the better part of the game.

My main gripe with it is it was just far too easy. I think about a third or halfway into the game I stopped using the guns. I remember having the wrench powered up in a way that it froze enemies, stole life from them and did increased damage with every hit. That coupled with the ability to give out a blast of electricity everytime an enemy hit me meant nothing really gave much of a fight. If by the odd chance you did get killed there were no consequences, you just respawned round the corner ready to fight the same enemies you've just weakened.
 
I'd agree with the point about ammo (in the early part of the game), the issue is that not only do you not have much in the way of weapons/ammo, but also you lack the funds to acquire it, and don't even have many plasmids to fall back on.

Once you get goes it's not such a problem, but I remember having to take on a Big Daddy in melee at one point.
 
I went in with unreasonable expectations having played System Shock 2 & the Thief games. The Ayn Rand / Atlus Shrugged commentary was interesting. Didn't particularly enjoy the game for itself tho.
 
I forced myself to play through the first one, but after having my health bar reduced i just thought it was a cheap and tacky way of making the game harder than it already was. I gave up after that.

It's one of those games that i would love to love, but it's just average at best.
 
Didn't like it either :D Loved the atmosphere and setting, and the detail that they put into everything, but it just wasn't much fun to play.

And as for the whole "Ooh look, a syringe full of glowing liquid! I think I'll just smack this into my arm to see what happens" thing, that was just ridiculous.

Oh, and I forgot about the non-penalty for death. Why not just make you invincible and save you the time running back to the fight :mad:
 
I upgraded the wrench so it was so ultimate, it froze the enemies and healed me when I hit them with it, such a farce, never needed to use anything else.

I actually beat two big daddies to death with it, one had me trapped in the respawner so I came out, wrenched it once, got killed, respawned, INSTANTLY hit it with the wrench and died, then repeated that like 20 times.
