I got FFXIII when it dropped. Haven't gotten to play a ton yet.

Also got Bioshock 2 when that released...boy, what a piece of sh*t that game is. I played through the garbage Watchmen game TWICE instead of continuing with BS2. (note that BS2 not only stands for Bioshock 2, but also Bioshlock 2 and Bullsh*t...2)

What's so bad about it?

Peanut · 03-11-2010, 11:42 PM

It isn't interesting in any way, shape or form. I've never been a person to be all "Man, this game didn't need a sequel! They're ruining the old one by doing it!" but that's totally the case with BS2.

It's not even like it's a bad "game" it's actually probably more playable than the first, but playing it made me come to realize exactly how important the story and sense of mystery really were to the first game. I can pretty firmly say it's a sequel that shouldn't have been made.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that game is a corporate piece of sh*t.

Well call me insane, but I was pleasantly surprised with Bioshock 2. The story in the first one may have been more thought out, but by the time I finished Bioshock 2, I felt the story was emotional, and really worked on a personal level. And as you guys mentioned, playing as Subject Delta is way more exciting then the gameplay in the first one. Way more! Only in Bioshock 2, can you fling splicers in the air with cyclone traps, juggle em with your machine gun, and then send em flying across the air and pin them onto the wall, all in a matter of seconds. Good ****! I thought Bioshock 2 ruled....And come on...What happened at the end of " Sirens Alley " was awesome!

Bioshock 2 was well written and I liked the story, but like Peanut said...it felt like an unnecessary, cash-in addition. The little sister protection from endless hordes, the absolute worst part of the first game, is also a huge part of this one. It's the second time now that this series made me hope it would feature less mindless combat in exchange for a more subtle, atmospheric approach. I think I'm at a point where I like the games, but I don't like actually playing them.

This. This 100% percent!

I just bought GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City (I don't really know why), the first Mass Effect and Bayonetta. The latter was so cheap I couldn't believe it. I guess it bombed pretty hard considering it has just been released.

You played Mass Effect 2 before 1?
