DevotedWalnut wroteSo you play games to die?That's weird. I play games to have fun. Bioshock delivers lots of fun. We are 2 very different people.
Yes, we are very different people.
Bioshock is a fun little game with very little story, good atmosphere and a fancy little twist at the end. I've played way too many games to be impressed by this, and a plot twist at the end doesn't make a good story.
Sure, I used to have fun with easy games that don't require more than button-mashing to get through. But nowadays that just doesn't do it for me. When I started playing Bioshock I chose the hardest difficulty, and still got very little satisfaction out of the game. There's just no point in playing a game that doesn't challenge you. If I can't die in an FPS, I don't think there's any point in playing it.
I'll agree that there is fun stuff to do in it, like combining your powers with the environment and whatnot, but is it as good as the critics say? No smegging way. Is it worth buying? Not at retail price.
Oh, and I just have to mention the good/evil system, lulz. Either you choose to kill kids and recieve a reward instantly, or not kill kids and recieve a bigger reward seconds later. Wow, those are some deep moral choices. The whole game is kind of like the good/evil system. It seems good at first glance, but it's all very shallow and pointless and only meaningful if you use your imagination.
