Why Bioshock 2 is better than Bioshock 1

You may not agree, in fact many don't, but I loved 2 much more than 1. One big reason is I never cared about the power struggle and "politics" and the headgames of 1, but I cared a whole lot about the bond you had with the Little Sisters in 2. It just felt much more personal. Also the combat is much more engaging and it really feels like you are a Big Daddy.

It's gone as far as I've actually decided to do another playthrough, something I never thought I'd do because I loved it so much way back when and I didn't want to mess up the memories. But I guess it wasn't set in stone after all.


Well, Rapture. Here I come...

I prefer Bioshock 1 and Infinite myself.

1 is not bad at all, but it had no personal impact on me like 2 had.


Well, the game works. Just fired it up to test and yeah, seems to be working fine. Last time I played was in 2015 from January 6th to January 17th. Very short game in other words. But immensly fun! If all goes to plan I shallst begin the adventure anew on Sunday!

I’ve only played 1 and got to Fort Frolic where my Xbox360 save sits to this day.

That one should finish it and move on to Bioshock 2 *ProTip*


Question to Khajiit: Save or Harvest?

Question to Khajiit: Save or Harvest?

“Harvest” always felt like a rape metaphor to me, and besides, you get enough juice to get some cool powers regardless of your choice, so I pick “save”.

[mirocu]

Khajiit is a good one and he shallst get his reward. Look for a present at the next Gatherer's Garden

Well I’m currently playing Starfield, and the Shadowrun Trilogy on my Switch when I’m not playing Starfield, so not sure if or when I will get to BioShock.

[mirocu]

I don't remember; has Khajiit played the original Deus Ex? Another game I will push for everyone to play

I haven’t played any of those. I may check and see if one is on sale some time.

[mirocu]

Highly, HIGHLY recommend the first one. If you're into stealth, problem solving and looking for alternate routes to your objectives. Oh, and if you like enormously atmospheric music and wearing shades at night

[mirocu]

Well, I'm back in Rapture after nine years! Pretty cool to see it all again


Slight worry though; I had two random freeze-ups prompting me to get the task manager up and quit the game that way and then re-enter. This sure is gonna make me save more often than I really want to.

Anyway, I don't remember when you get the research camera but I hope to find it soon so I can research that sweet, sweet Drill Dash!

How is it set up? Is it hubs or individual levels unconnected from each other?

[mirocu]

Not hubs like VtM:B but rather one map after another in which you roam around and complete a mission, sometimes side quests and other things, and then you move on to the next map. How you complete missions/side quests has an effect throughout the game and will generate different dialogues and sometimes even affect the fate of important NPCs.

Sounds a lot like Dishonored with how it’s setup. Probably took some design inspiration from it, since Dishonored is also a stealth oriented game.

[mirocu]

Yeah, I think that's a possibility.

If it's cheap and easy to find, Khajiit should not rob himself of the experience of playing that game. Deus Ex, I mean

Bioshock 2


I have decided to play this on Sundays now, but I just couldn't resist some today. I've just arrived in Ryan's Amusements and had a bit of a look-see. Pretty nice place. Oh; and I've just fought another Big Daddy for the first time and adopted my very first Little Sister!

As a proud Big Daddy Delta I'm now taking her around to look for some ADAM. I may also need to actually buy some more ammo because I will need it when my Sister collects the ADAM. Still no sign of the reasearch camera. I really, really want to find it...

Bioshock 2

Today I got ADAM and rescued my first Little Sister. I also got out of Ryan's Amusements and is now in Pauper's Drop. One annoying things about the Bioshock games; Splicers keep spawning in so you can never clear an area completely. If you go back to a previously cleared one, new ones are there. A bit realistic maybe in a way, but also an irritating ammo waste mechanic.
