It was okay

Gameplay's fine, sure, easy as piss just as Bioshock 1 was, but atleast Bioshock 1 had the novel setting and memorable characters, Bioshock 2 has the weakest main bad guy, no "twist" and a general plot hel together by chewing gum.

>>717354630
Yeah, Sofia Lamb sucked shit.

Got tired of that bitch halfway through the game

>>717353461 (OP)
2 was objectively better gameplay-wise (especially when i gave up on gunplay and just went full drill), but i can't for the life of me say i enjoyed it as much as 1. the novelty of being a big daddy wears off extremely quick and just feels like you're permanently jack after he put on a big daddy suit, and the new enemies don't feel that fun to fight outside of big sisters.

>>717355443
worst part is, she just fucking disappears halfway through the game and you only remember she exists when the game is almost over

>>717356043
The big sisters weren't all that great either, they were basically bullet sponges that just hopped around

>>717356070
Speaking about disappearing acts, what happens to Tanenbaum? She shows up for a tutorial, and then dips out for the rest of the game.

I don't remember if it was actually good but I had a lot of fun with the multiplayer
There's no way you could make a game mode today where the entire premise is to capture the child

>>717356286
She reactivates Subject Sigma and sets him on the journey to recover the Thinker in the Minerva's Den DLC. Aside from that, she then appears in the ending of DLC and she uses the Thinker's computing power to return Sigma to a human.

>>717356286
Yeah, she disappears after the start of the game. She shows up in the DLC, though. (Which also was pretty decent).

>>717356043
I found it to be incredibly easy by abusing the headshot bonus tonic and the rivet gun. It was a literal 1 shot headshot on basically every enemy, especially if the research was completed on them. And once you unlock the harpoon gun, you can literally steamroll through anything and never even run out of ammo.

>>717356736
Uh, yeah?

>>717353461 (OP)
Game didn't hit the same without this chud being the antagonist

>>717356859
>research
People used this mechanic? I could never remember to do it and the few times I did it wasn't fun or interesting.

>>717357296
I do it asap and get free tonics but best of all, massive damage increases on the enemy. Bioshock 1's apporach was a bit wierd and grindy but atleast BS2 makes it somewhat more engaging with the rolling camera as you have to chain different attacks to earn more research points.

>>717357296
I basically researched everything, but only because I played on hard. It's not that big of a deal, I didn't bother "varying" the weapons used for a better score because you'll get a complete research eventually with how many enemies they throw at you.

>>717357606
I played on Hard too. Never felt like the game was tough enough to ever warrant researching.
It also threw so much ammo at you at all times so making use of the mechanic that let you essentially use less of it seemed pointless.

>>717358178
You're right, the game isn't really "hard", but the research makes it so they aren't as spongey and there are some good rewards, like increased drill damage from Big Daddies and health kits off Spider Splicers.

>>717353461 (OP)
I'd say it's the best Bioshock game, both gameplay and storywise. On gameplay side the feeling of playing as big armored walking tank with a drill and other weapons is unmatched (at least I don't know of any FPS games that give similar feeling) while story wise the main conflict of mother and father and what parenthood means while everything falls apart around you with hopeless religious fanatics constantly on your tail is quite engaging. I only wish the game was better optimised and more difficult, even restricting myself on hard the game still throws tons of resources at you even if there's a mod to attempt to alleviate that. I will never forgive the bastards who worked on remaster for taking out harpoon gun physics. If anyone wants to play it, stick with original and once it starts crashing look up how to increase RAM usage, it helps even if it's not a perfect solution.

>>717353461 (OP)
It had better gameplay and graphics but the story characters and levels were all inferior to 1, Minervas Den is the best of both

>>717358496
I didn't think Minerva's Den was bad, but the story wasn't that amazing. I figured out the twist pretty quick and the dead wife thing was eh pretty boring for character background. Didn't find it all that emotional, but I guess the twist was still kind of interesting.

Try playing the game on survival difficulty with vita-chambers turned off. Bioshock can be hard if you choose it to be.

>>717358863
I uh, already did
died like 2-3 times total
and I disabled vita chambers in 2

>>717353461 (OP)
It at least did "being a big Daddy" better than 1, at least you feel bulkier and tankier.

Entire series is mediocre.

Still my favorite ending in any video game ever made.
>wherever you are... I miss you

>>717359364
Based take. The combat is floaty, enemy AI's braindead, and the “deep” philosophical themes feel like a freshman trying to sound smart in a philosophy class. Infinite especially thought it was cooking with quantum multiverse nonsense, but it was all style over substance. Face it, Bioshock was just System Shock for console babies.

>>717359673
Yeah it wasn't fun

>>717360514
All sp fps aside from eternal and ultra kill have braindead ai.
Don't understand how anyone who's been up to gold elo in csgo can play a sp fps and go "wow this sure is engaging"

>>717360514
Bioshock 1's story is solid, if not that deep. You can't really shit on it. Bioshock 2 on the other hand is some bullshit about a girl boss savior and Infinite is le racism is bad with capeshit multiverse elements slapped onto it.

>>717353461 (OP)
Yes it's decent overall, the story and villain are weak compared to 1. It's basically carried by the daughter subplot that only really matters toward the end.
I consider it notable for being one of the few games that manages to have a neutral ending that is better than the good or bad end.

Improved hacking.
No need to switch between plasmids and weapons.
Expanded spaces on levels.
And compared to Bioshock Infinite, it's a damn masterpiece.

>>717353461 (OP)
On my first playtrough I went full autist with drill+rivet gun only. Good times.
Also, I'm still mad this guy lost his mustache

That's like the exception to the rule. FEAR was never replicated in AI for any other game.
