The title says it all.

Bioshock 2 iscoming out early next month and i see no one talking about this game. I wonder why this ishappening.

Oh wait, i know... It's probably because it's not an exclusive.:P

Why do you guys think this game is not being more talked about?

I doubt it has anything to do with exclusivity...

To be Bioshock was a good enough game, but I did not feel like it needed sequals, I might buy it down the line, but it does not want meto go through another romp through the devastated Rapture.

I think it was because the game had a clear ending for me, and nomore mysteries to see or hear, there might very well be, but I diddnt feel that there was.

It not being "console exclusive" like the first one, it has been less marketed, developed by another studio, Levine not being part of the project has kept his mouth shut, the fact that the first BioShock didn't do anything for people to expect a sequel and a lot of people expecting it to be BioShock 1.5 are the reasons why the hype for it is so small. It's one of my most hyped games, though.

Somethings I've seen make me a bit wary, but the first reviews have been good and from what I've heard it's a good sequel. :)

Im keeping a watchful eye on it. I dont think a sequel is going to have the same charm, plus I have no interest in the MP. Plus, ME2 hype train is still in full effect. Let that die down first.

I finished Bioshock a few days ago and I think it is one of the best games of this generation, I hope the second is good also... but I am also surprised noone is talking about this.

It's because it's not exclusive to anything. You know it would be hyped like hell if it was because the original is so highly acclaimed.

I'm waiting on pins a needles here. I think Feb. 9th is even way too long to wait. Any additional hype would just make me crazy

probably because after everyone finally calmed down they realized the first one was a mess and aren't expecting much from this one.

I'm hoping that much like GOWII they have honor the first game and make a great sequel even without the original creators involvement. So far I'm just not excited until someone tells me it doesn't suck.

The first was an amazing disappointment... and the second doesn't appear to be much different than the first.

LOVED the first game. I think ppl were just dissapointed that it wasn't really a "shooter" like they expected. Also PC fans never got past the idea that it was just a rehash of System Shock 2.

With Mass Effect 2 just coming out, it isn't hard to overlook it. Still I look forward to it.

The original presented some really cool concepts. But ultimately, it wasn't a good enough game for me to get all hyped for a sequel.

I was interested in the first Bioshock mostly for the novel premise and setting, and with that novelty gone...I'm feeling next to no interest for the sequel. :?

It just doesn't excite me like the first did.
