flameboy Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Was looking through my preorders and this has really caught up with me didn't realise it was out so soon, cannot wait! Not looked at any of the recent media so managed to stay very spoiler free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViPeR Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Been replaying this through on Easy to pick up all the achievements I missed (which I didn't realise was so many). Still shits me up in places but i'm pretty much just running around because nothing can really hurt you on that setting. Hope they keep up atmosphere in the next one.

Hope they keep up atmosphere in the next one. yeah for me that was the single greatest thing about the game and was as a result of the art deco/retro fitted/steam punk look and the ambience, the enemies all helped create this incredible atmosphere that brought the game alive in a way that few games can...

LegoMan1031 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Just a quick heads up, ive now noticed that ShopTo have got the special edition now as well as play.com. Only £5 cheaper but ShopTo have faster delivery (in my experience by far). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 I've had to cancel my preorder can't really afford it this month because spent too much money on other stuff, namely dvds and cancelling my phone contract. Get paid 15th Feb so will only have to wait 6 days I guess...managed to stay spoiler free on the original bioshock for the like the year and half between the 360 release and PS3 release, so sure can handle 6 days.

flameboy Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 I've been renting for a year now. Don't know what I'd do without it tbh. yeah I cancelled my account because wasn't getting through games fast enough to make it worth while...had one game (can't remember what) for 2 months by which point I could have bought it...but I do have more time these days so perhaps its more worthwhile.

Jimbob Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Had 2 emails from GAME concerning my pre-order. They keep putting the price down, i was paying £39.99, then it went to £37.99, now i am paying £34.99. All good i say, if they keep reducing the price i reckon they'll be paying me to have a copy off them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Lol, I paid only £26 for it. The PC version of the original was the best, and I have no reason to believe this will be any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will be any different, except probably better. If 2K have implemented all the new PC technology into Bioshock 2, then i will be guessing that it will be 10x better than the original.

If 2K have implemented all the new PC technology into Bioshock 2, then i will be guessing that it will be 10x better than the original. Doubt it will be anywhere near as conceputally astounding as the original to be honest. But at this point, all I really want is the chance to revisit that world with all the impact of a big daddy; the original is always there. Its funny how I managed to incorporate a videogame into my American Romanticism essay on Emerson . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris the great Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 i was chatting about it witha friend, and we both have our doubts for bioshock 2. im gonna take a risk with it, but my main worry is it'l be to close to the rather sub par end of the first game, the long and boring little sister protecting scene was a right downer.

The Bard Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I thought the ending wasn't that bad. My only complaint was more to do with the moral binary of the "choices" you made. But then, the last third of the game was really an exposition on how little agency you have as a player anyway. Would you kindly not blow all my hopeful expectations out your ass like molten effluence, 2K Marin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
