Bioshock AAAA?

[QUOTE="Ontain"]

some ppl will say online and replay value.

Precisely. And MP in this game would take away all that makes it great. It would be like Darkness MP: Lame.

AAAA?

If Tony Hawk Proskater 3 could do it Bioshock will get AAAAAA!!!11

I'm guessing a 9.5 is as high as that game could go. The lack of multiplayer will not get it a 10.0. Elviathan

That depends on how good the single-player is. I mean, if it's one of the best single-player experiences ever, they'll probably give it a 10.

As for the multiplayer, I wonder if they're going to release an online co-op mode after the game comes out (like they did with System Shock 2)....

with the new system, i see at least 2-4 games getting a 10 this gen at least, even if they really are strict, it's gonna be hard to make a really amazing game a 9.5 because of the system, i say 9.7 and above on the old system equals 10 on this one, i miss the old system :(

as far as bioshock goes, i'm not a huge fan of singleplayer fpa system shock, half life, metroid prime type games but i can surely appreciate the achievment and the quality of the game and can see it getting a 10, just not my genre, but even this looks like it is gonna be remarkable

It is better to have no MP than to have ****ty MP like The Darkness.

And since when do all FPS's absolutely have to have MP? Who made up that rule?

What do you think guys? Is it even possible anymore?

Bioshock has been getting some really positive previews...what if?

Says the cow.

~-~8.5-9.5 It looks really good, but not for everyone. I think it's going to be one of those games that a lot of people just don't really care for. In order to get a really high score it needs to be great among casuals and hardcore gamers, I don't think Bioshock is going to achieve that. It's TOO good if you know what I mean.~-~The_PirateKing

Deus Ex, Morrowind, Daggerfall and System Shock 2 prove this. Gamespot rates the games based on how they appeal to casual.

No. I don't think it will happen. Lately, I'm questioning whether it will get AAA, to be frank.

And, so that no one jumps on me, I don't think Crysis will get a AAA the way it looked in the last batch of screenshots/gameplay videos.

But each of them have a chance and they can each dominate the genre if they apply themselves and reviewers take a liking to them. But no AAAAs.

9.0 or 9.5, I highly doubt a 10

Why are you questioning whether it will get AAA? It's almost a given based on most of the previews.

AAAA? That's as plausible as a man dressing up as a tree to rob a bank.Einhanderkiller

Don't get me wrong, Bioshock is my most anticipated game this year and I'm sure it will be fantastic, BUT:

When it comes to getting a AAA here it might (probably won't?)not hapen. Its spiritual predecessor System Shock 2, while being almost universally acclimaed (92% on GR) and winning countless GOTY's, got an 85% here.

Remeber Deus Ex? Yep, the Deus Ex.... 92% on GR and countless GOTY's as well.... you know, now considered a complete classic? It got an 82% here. And some people thought the TP review was odd...

This site is really odd when it comes to rating these types of games.

Going to be fantastic, yes.

AAA on GS? Maybe not.

Did they?!?!?

Dunno man, it would seem really odd to me that'd they'd give it an 82 then give it a GOTY award....

It looks like a great game... but pefect? I don't think so...Homesrfan

U haven't played it, and IT COULD BE PERFECT.

That's what I mean, it could be perfect. If Bioshock is better than SS2 then it will be perfect.

If Bioshock is better than SS2 it might very well be perfect in your eyes and mine, but it probably still won't get AAA here (let alone AAAA.)

Don't forget, SS2 was amazing (easily a AAA in my book,) it got an 85% here. Not even high AA.

Winner

It's possible I think. Remember when Metroid Prime got 9.8? Well if it got that rating with Gamespot's current rating system, it would round up to a 10. So if Bioshock measures up to the impression that Metroid Prime had on Gamespot, which I think it is the kind of game that could do just that, it could possibly achievea 10.cheezisgoooood

MP got a 9.7, same score as Halo.

With the new rating system that would be rounded down to 9.5.
