I say yes.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
finally someone that agrees with me. it's not a bad game, but the hype factor was over the roof. i'd honestly say that i had a better time playing Halo 3 later that year, or at the very least regretted buying Bioshock more than how I regretted buying Halo, and that's saying a lot.Is BioShock one of the most mediocre high-budget video games ever made? Yes, yes it is.

It is not even in my top 50...
The most damaging thing to Bioshock is the fact that System shock came out in 99...
A better allaround game, with the same mechanics (altho they were alot deeper) the same way of progressing the story, and alot more interresting nps/enemies.
Apart from that, there are just games that appeal to me more, and that are more pilished/thought through.
It is a good game, but one of the best? not even by a long shot.

you are joking arent you? judging from all the topics weve had it seems thats what the majority on this board think
me personally i really enjoyed it, its similarities to system shock 2 didnt bother me much at all. its not one of the best ever games made, but its still a very good one

i'm somewhat joking. it's one of the most overrated games of 2007 IMO, but it's not bad. i seem to run into more Bioshock love than hate and I don't roam the boards as often as I used to, so i may have missed something.No, I tried the demo 3 times and could not get into it. Even when it was £3.50 on Steam I still felt no urge to buy it
It's a good game, but certainly not one of the best games ever made.
Not at all deserving of the classic status most critics were so quick to hand to it, or any of the 9 and 10 out of 10 scores it received.
i wouldnt call it mediocre, the graphics in that game are art... its dumbded down for x360 newbie players and the story is a bad copy from ss2 In any case: "is bioshock one of the best games ever made?" No i played ss2 and it was so superior and better that you cant possibly begin to imagine if you think bioshock was that amazing Timberwolf5578. also deus ex, halif life fallout games oblivion and cod games are far better than bioshock, i found it borrring....but in any case there are more borrrring and "empty" games out there.... ohh and simplified as hell...even the level design is so damn simple.....yes i am talking about mass effect.Is BioShock one of the most mediocre high-budget video games ever made? Yes, yes it is.

It's really overrated. I've yet to finish it, but I'm not too worried. I got it for $5 on Steam. I do love the setting of Rapture.
Nope, it is not one of the best games ever made. Its good for 1-2 play throughs but thats it.
Its a good game though, dont get me worng.
NO. HELL NO. One of the most overrated games this gen, up there with MGS4 and GTA4. Except GTA4 is actually fun.
not by a long shot.
now, it is far from a bad game. But its also far from a great game, even a good game.
Bioshock, when all the hype is factored into it, is one of the most "meh" games I have ever played, and there are countless games better and more enjoyable than it that deserve the praise it got.
There is NO such thing as "the best game ever made". I suppose you could argue that Pong is the "best game ever made" because, without it, we'd have nothing. However, no current gen/next gen/legacy games are the best ever made. A title like that just does not exist, nor will one ever exist.
Good thing no one called it that then.There is NO such thing as "the best game ever made". I suppose you could argue that Pong is the "best game ever made" because, without it, we'd have nothing.

One of the best? No. Mediorce gameplay really kills it. From a holistic perspective, it is a good game, but not a great one.
But in terms of setting and plot creativity? Certainly, in those terms, it is one of the best games ever. I love Rapture.
I've never played it, but I watched the gameplays and walkthroughs till the end of the game and I would say NO.
I don't like it at all and it sucks ;)
