Why does every AAA game that uses the Unreal Engine get so much underserved hate? SparkyProtocol
Because people have opinions :)

Because people are stupid :)

I fixed the previous statement. I figured I'd help out in some way. People like to feel like their opinion matters, they like to think "oh, I'm being controversial by saying such and such". Well honestly the UE is the best that I can think of, that is why so many games use it. If you don't like UE games, you pretty much don't like games, at least this gen.

I haven't listened to any ratings in a long time, I used to trust gamespot, but then the whole, you know, kane and lynch thing went down. Now I just judge for myself.

Are you trying to say that I have my opinions because I like to be controversial? Is it that hard to believe that someone thinks differently than you?

I've said this a many times before, but I guess I'll say it again. It is the cool thing to do to hate on things that are popular on teh Internets. Anyway, I played the demo skeptical but overall thought it was a pretty good game. It's not a day one buy for me, but I'll get it eventually.

no, it's just that reviewers have bad taste. I mean, I liked Lost Odyssey way more than Bioshock, and they're both supposedly in the RPG genre, and both use UE3 same for mass effect

Nope, but I have a lot of trouble believing some people on here. People who say halo has terrible graphics, people who try to incite a flame war basically, I'm sure some people actually believe what they say on system wars, but half the time I believe they are only trying to fuel the "war".

Looks like it. I like to think I have my opinions because I like to have an opinion. If that makes any sense.

No like "Why do you hate a certain race of people and feel that yours is superior?" Ignorant Racist: Because I have my opinions. It needs a compelling argument. :|

Man I love how damn elitist people on this forum are, Bioshock was a great game that many millions of people enjoyed. I'll never understand why people get so mad when a video game doesn't live up to their expectations. Its a damn GAME. Play it for what it is, have fun, and if you don't like it then don't talk about it any longer. For the record: I loved Bioshock; had an incredible time with Fallout 3; worshipped Blue Dragon; and greatly enjoyed many other games that people said were "dumbed down" from some mythical predecessor that 9/10 of the aforementioned bashers more than likely aren't old enough to even have played within the context of games releasing around the same time.TheSystemLord1

Yup, pretty much. It happens with Halo, GTA, BioShock, etc. Lots of people like the smaller games, as it makes them feel that they belong to more of a grassroots fanbase that doesn't feature the majority. Honestly, for the most part, I enjoy big and small games. I mean, there's some games I don't like at all (ie: MGS4), but I'll admit it's quality. It's rubbish to me, though.

Yeah, they can form their own opinions, but if the critics say it's a great game, it's a great game to them no matter how SW likes it or not. GTA IV already proved this.

The probability of a random gamer liking a high scoring game by critics compared to a lower scoring game I believe is much higher. Take that for what you will. Obviously not everyone is oging to LOVE the highest scoring games of any year (MGS4 is a good example for me) but I think the odds of you being dissapointed are lower.

You will both be pleasantly surprised when it continues to get 8.5+ scores from the majority of sources. Gamespot will hand out a 9.0 I predict.

[QUOTE="me_rock"]

lol a lot of people sure hate Bioshock. Well it was one of my favourite games this gen, just amazing experience. Anyways comparing that to Batman is weird, their not even the same type of game.

clone01

me too. i guess people like to dump on things just because they are popular.

Or maybe people got bored by the game? Just like Mass Effect, I boght both games on 360, never finished them.

Bought both games on PC, and while I do feel the PC versions of both games are superior (especially mass effect), I still couldn't finish them.

Bioshock in particualr had some of the weakest gunplay I've seen. Electric shock, wrench all the way through is no fun for me. You want goodies? YOU WANT TEH LOOT!?! Sorry, gotta play pipe dream 5000000 times over and over to get it. Want to upgrade your stats? Here, here is a camera, take pictures and you will cause more damage ftw? The story was pretty engaging but seriuosly, the gameplay is so damn bland. Like Ramen without the flavors. Like popcorn without butter.

IMO.

What, I played the demo and was very disappointed. The combat wasn't fun, it was way too easy to lose enemies, and then their was Batman's voice. I did like how Mark Hamil is the joker again. Oh well I won't pass full judgment until the game comes out.

What do they mean by the Bioshock of 2009? Do they mean it's on par with the crappy gameplay of Bioshock? Because Batman definitely seems like it has better gameplay than bioshock. Or do they mean that it's gonna be a huge hit with everyone? Bioshock was a cool game to play through once, but I hope batman isn't going to be only playable one time through.

So much hate towards Bioshock recently...

I guese it's going through the Phase where a Critically Aclaimed Game gets TONS of Hate (Sometimes for no reason). Like Zelda TP & GTA 4.

my problem with it had nothing to do with System Shock 2, which I've never played, and everything to do with the game itself.

*raises eyebrow* GameInformer, if you didn't buy into the Eidos crap of trying to sell good reviews, then I'm genuinly mind-****ed. I was seriously calling a 7.0/10 on this one. I mean, *Bioshock*? That good? If so, then DDDDAAAAAAYYYYYUUUUMMMM.
