Bioshock 1 is good, Bioshock 2 isn't.

I like the way this guy thinks.

I played through Bioshock 1 like 5 times, didn't have the stomach to finish Bioshock 2 once.

Bioshock 2 is sooo much better than 1 in every way save for story. I don't understand how people like the clunky gameplay of one compared to the awesomeness of two. I mean I guess I can undertand people liking the original more, but saying the sequel isn't good is just crazy. The sequel was amazing.

Chonicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is one of the greateast games ever made, it would be a SIN to avoid it. Bioshock is like a microscopic piece of dust on Riddick's boots.

I wouldn't say it's better than B1, but other than the sequel itself being completely unnecessary -- I totally agree that it was still very much enjoyable. It was in no way a bad game(still very good actually)nor a terrible prequel/sequel overall. It usually comes across as nothing more than over exaggerated criticism when people do talk bad about it IMO.

Wait, does this mean you have yet to play B1? lol If so, you thought B2 was good, wait until you play that one. = )

And the answer is "no". :P

TecmoGirl

Haha yeah, that's what I was thinking.

B1 was incredible, B2 was a significant step down.

The Orange Box, Portal 2, Crysis 1 and 2, Cryostasis, Singularity, Bioshock 1, Fear. Oh, and, it's not that Bioshock 2 is a particularly bad game, in most ways, bar story and atmosphere, it improves on the original it just felt... unnecessary, in my opinion, the Rapture story had been told and that it was time to move on, rather than make an essentially pointless sequel. That's my opinion on things.

The story was really meh but I think the gameplay and the whole package was great. Bioshock Infinite should fill that void when it comes out, since the main team led by Ken Levine is making it.

Why not 1? :lol:

Jagged3dge

1st game i picked up. I thought "Locopatho said it was as good as Metroid Prime" so thought for £5 i'd give it a crack. Though theyre both a differant kettles of fish.

Yes if people say "XX game is good" i'll give it a crack.

Well I have only played a good amount of 1 and none of 2, and I would say there are quite a few better campaigns. Goldeneye 64, Perfect Dark 64, Timesplitters Series, Metroid Prime series (big time), and tons more.

NaveedLife

Yeah i've finished all of those and i'd put Metroid Prime Trilogy as my favourite games of all. Nothing less than perfection. (oops only finished TS2)

Its kinda weird as i just picked up the 1st game which took my fancy which was bioshock 2. I never did any research on the game to know anything about it and would playing #1 then moving to sequel afterwards. Kinda weird topic as im not a big FPS fan.

if you count the metroid prime trilogy as FPSs rather than FPAs then definitely, they are the pinnacle of single-player campaigns.

Most of the campaigns on console games have been horrible this gen.

I think Crysis 2 might actually be the best one, but I played that on PC, so I could have had a different experience. EDIT: Either that or Half Life 2.

Otherwise, nothing really compares to Crysis, Stalker series, Cryostasis, Metro 2033, etc.

Crysis 2 was simliar on consoles to PC so it was fine. Stalker games are great, Cryostasis was intriguing, Metro 2033 was meh.

The Orangebox (more specifcally Half Life 2 and the episodes)

Bioshock 1

Crysis 2 (the 360 and ps3 versions are still great)

Stalker(pc only)

Crysis (pc only)

You might also like Portal 2. It isnt technically an FPS, its more a first person adventure, but still AMAZING

fear 1 isnt bad either

Also Prey 2 looks awesome, but thats a couple years off.

Uncharted isn't a FPS.

Half Life 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and Call of Duty 1+2 off the top of my head.

I actually agree with your opinion of Bioshock 2. I thought it was a well made game and all, but it wasnt compelling as the first was for me.

dOES PORTAL have more in common with games like metroid than FPS?!

It is essentially a puzzle platformer in first person. There's no real shooting, so it shares more in common with Metroid than, say, Crysis.

Portal is still entirely different from anything else on the market though, and it's definitely worth playing if you like the slower paced exploration/puzzle solving of Metroid.

I cannot remember the last puzzle game which i purchased (ermm trauma centre or Super puzzle fighter) so sounds like a blast. Yeah i do enjoy metroid. Back on topic. From what i have played of Golden eye on the Wii it easiely surpasses the CoD series. Wish i could. find my nunchuck to play with the Wii-mote. Activision should put Eurocom in charge of CoD.

Yes that was on PC and I was not informed that they were doing that kind of stuff -_-; I got it at a sale by the way. If I had paid full price I would have just done it I suppose.

Its very sad that this hasnt been said yet....Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood!!!!! Great game and so underrated its not even funny. Fear 2 as well...tho hated by many for reasons i dont quite understand (sure it didnt have the same impact as the orginal but its still a great game with very fun gun fights) Chronicles of Riddick is just amazing as well...better than almost every game this gen imo! Half life 2 and the episodes are fantastic as well! And the orginal Crysis! The lack of great and innovative fps single player campaigns nowadays saddens me :( When is the last time one was released?

Dont agree with that! Bioshock 2 i found to be much more fun...the additional combat elements really helped the game! Crysis is better as was Half Life 2 episode 2! Other than that tho....its saddening. 2004 had better single player fps's than this whole gen....with Doom 3 , Farcry, Half life 2, Painkiller and Chronicles of Riddick. All very different and very fun! Now its just cod clone after cod clone.

Golden Eye has been a intresting game thus far. As lame as it seems i like how you have the main missions and side missions too. I've seen Call of Juarez, I assumed by the case it was a rip off of RDR lol.

My bad. I never seen call of Juarez plastered everywhere so i never picked up on it being release unlike RDR which was advertised everywhere.... Even in middle earth lol. Yeah its been intresting thus far Golden Eye has. I like how the game is set up which is hard to explain but alot of this Gens linear FPS could take notes.
