BioShock 2: February 9th

I'm pretty psyched to hear about the release of Bioshock 2, naturally the sequel to Bioshock.

Seems like a take on the original, using Plasmids and weapons at the same time is a nice little bonus. You play as a prototype Big Daddy that was operational just before the civil war, and did not know about the horrific events that had undertaken rapture in the past 20 years.

Features something called the 'Big Sister'.

Anyone else looking forward to it? Little over a month.

For anyone who doesn't know, BioShock was...

Show Hide

"a game set in an underwater city in which scientific development was unrestrained. It was meant to be a utopia for the worlds 'best and brightest', but upon the discovery of a stem-cell generating sea slug and 'Plasmids' which grant people unique abilities some may refer to as superpowers, while acting like a benign cancer, these injections (Eve) caused insanity and instability, and eventually drove the population insane, causing a civil war and eventually the death of almost everyone still sane. You play as a man who, upon a plane crash, is taken down into the city, and must fend for your life with weapons and plasmids."

Slightly off-topic but that render is awful. AA ftw.

Anyway, I'm yet to play through Bioshock. I have bought it on Steam but it's not installed because this piece of crap won't handle it. Looking to buy a new computer so hopefully I'll eventually be able to play through.

I was enjoying Bioshock and then for no reason I traded it in.
I might buy that pack where you get Bioshock and Oblivion for £20.
Why is Bioshock2 £70 though on play.com ;S

I'm not sure if the objectivism philosophy and whole story will hold up. Bioshock didn't need a sequel, and if it dead, it should have been a bigger step. I personally would have liked a sequel set during the events of the first game, but not playing as a big daddy.

I'm still looking forward to it.

I'm going to buy it :-)

[kk.]

I must be like in the 1% that disliked the bioshock.. I dont think I'll b getting bioshock 2

[TaffTalk]

I did not enjoy Bioshock and swiftly traded it in, therefore I probably won't be picking this up.

Aw, BioShock is pretty awesome. Probably my favourite game. I wish you could play as a human struggling to survive during the events of New Years Eve 1959, that'd be pretty cool. So a year in the past rather than 10 in the present.
