This one look promising as the first . Definitely , I'll play it

[Spitfire]

I'm pretty sure that summary you put up there is the one for the multiplayer story. In the main game you assume the role of the prototype Big Daddy.

[-Sho-]

Yeah you're right .
Edited .

I'm pretty sure that this is going to be a great game, but I doubt it will achieve the praise it's prequel got, since it will lack the biggest strength of BioShock 1, which is the wow-effect of Rapture. Somehow I'm not that excited, although I really enjoyed the first game.

[-Sho-]

Yeah me too , i doubt that it won't be as epic as the first but still great in some way .
However , i wanna try the Multi , it looks interesting

[MakubeX2]

Will anyone here be getting the edition as demonstrated above ? I had a PS3 version of that on preordered if it's only for the Vinyl and the oversized artbook.

[-Sho-]

This box edition is awesome The Vinyl ^^ Make sure that you still got the object(don't remember the name) which will use it .
Me , i pre-ordered the game on steam not the box .

[-Sho-]

I played some hours . Wow that was amazing

IGN score - 91 / 100 "Oustanding"

9.5 Presentation
A focused storyline, strong characters, clear moral choice mechanics, great story delivery, and a well-implemented overall cohesion of theme throughout the entire product.

9.0 Graphics
Not as impressive as the first game, but the unmistakable art style prevails, making Rapture one of the visually dense and interesting settings around.

9.0 Sound
The effects, music, and voice acting are all top notch and effectively reinforce the mood and feel of the world.

9.0 Gameplay
A host of refinements and tweaks, from hacking to the way weapons and plasmids work, to enhance the flow of gameplay and keep you rooted in the action. A great experience from start to finish.

9.0 Lasting Appeal
A top tier single-player mode that's entertaining the whole way through and a surprisingly fun multiplayer suite with plenty of unlocks and reasons to keep playing.

My thoughts , Bioshock 2 is dynamics as the first . The story is interesting .
Actions is here . As usual the BGM is awesome . Power is balanced , you'll still have a hard time against a Big Daddy or others people .
More plasmids power and effect . Great weapons and upgrade systems .

If you want more challenge , play it on Difficult

I just play 3 game in Multi .
There are many game mod , take the adam or sister , take the territory etc ...
The gameplay is very cool .
Well , first i'll focus on the SP then go for MP .

........

The new little ones are too darn cute, Vast improvements over the first versions a decade back. One definatly need to see how one of them brawk just waiting for you to pick her after you kill her Big Daddy. It's as what the develophers said in the artbook, they want to reduce the crreepniess and aim to make the Little Sisters more childlike in this game. All who call themselves Roricons definatly own it on their namesake to play this game.

The Big Sisters isn't half bad. Their bodies have the shape judging on how their bottoms look with the armoring and all. I'll pay to see how one of them really looks beneath all the platings.

[-Sho-]

I won't spoil you .

I finish the game around 9-10 hours . Wow , this is wow . Story was entertaining ^^
I got the good ending (gonna watch the bad ending ) Really this second opus is awesome . BGM are nice .
There just are some stuffs that i found not too good , well i won't spoil .
Anyway now , i'll play MP

[SaintessHeart]

The game is quite dry, but the storyline is certainly entertaining, though rather lacklustre as compared to its predecessor.

Spoiler for SPOILER:

Being an ex-literature student myself, I enjoyed how many references are made to utopian/dystopic societies and such, but this time is pushing it too much towards religion. In the previous Bioshock, it had a more disturbing and absolute theme, quoting Nietzche, Weishaupt, etc. This time, it is all about religion. And of all the passphrases, why Agnus Dei? It refers to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ to atone for the sins of mankind, and not to some philosophy or non-religious thought.

having finished bioshock 2 yesterday, i came to a suprising conclusion about what the game feels like
this game, despite being perfectly fine and enjoyable on its own, doesn't really FEEL like a sequel
it feels like the bioshock equivalent of a F.E.A.R expansion pack

Spoiler for bioshock : extraction point:

it doesn't simply LACK the innovation of the previous game, but in some cases, it literally seems to repeat the same set pieces of it
a steam filled room where you get sudden glimpses of enemies. a splicer appearing right behind the player when doing something. walking past manikins who turn out to be enemies
too many things in this game seem like they we're made by people who looked at the first game and said "lets make more of it" instead of trying to take it to the next step

the plot and characters change from the first game, for better or for worse
Eleanor turns out to be a surprisingly welcome addition, but Sofia lamb simply lacks Andrew Rayn's charisma, and Sinclair makes for a VERY poor replacement for atlas
the sander cohen expy is also rather poor, and the several NPC's you get to choose whether or not to murder, are less then impressive.

but the gameplay doesn't really change at all
the weapons are mostly differently named and animated versions of the first games weapons (the drill is the main difference)
the plasmids are also more or less the same ones you always used in the first game
the enemies are the same with the addition of THREE new kinds of enemies in the entire game (the tank from L4D, and another two versions of a big daddy)
and the introduction of boss fights, or rather THE SAME boss fight played over and over again
the idea of protecting a little sister while she collects ADAM is also taken from the first game, only repeated to the point of frustration

and, of course, during the final stages of the game, you get an option of summoning a big sister to fight on your side
which, while extremely cool, is also the definition of the word "game breaker"
and using her in anything but the most insanely hard battles, is like using a chainsaw to trim your bonsai tree

as a whole, the game isn't BAD by any stretch
in fact, its quite GOOD as FPS's nowadays go, but i just came out of it thinking "i hope they hurry up and release "bioshock: perseus mandate" faster this time around

[-Sho-]

Yeah , i still prefer Bioshock 1 . The second is great but not as the first .
If i remember well the first was longer than this one .
Well , they add the multi for more game times .
Bioshock 2 is easier too .
I need the music in the Multi's menu and near the end of the game

Spoiler for For people who already finish the game:

Just want to say that it lacks some Big Boss or Final Boss , cuz just fighting with an infinite horde at the end ... then you have to destroy the 2 pillars . That was too easy ...
And it's shame that we didn't fight Alexandre instead of electrocute him in the big jar ...

[Drake]

I'm quite enjoying it so far and its seems pretty solid so far although there isnt much new in terms of gameplay and you die suprisingly quick for an armoured hulk.

On a negative note my games froze twice so far and the second time cost me about 3 hours of play (where the hell are autosaves ?) which has put me right off playing it again.

[-Sho-]

Me it's not in Solo , i crashed 3 times in Multi while i was playing .
For the autosaves , i know that the game save after every news maps .
I save frequently just in case .

I knew you'd like that. How do you feel about the multiplayer mode where your objective is to capture and hold a loli for as long as possible?

That statement, sire, is going to earn you a few years in jail for pedophilia.

Wonder how long it will take for those child porn groups to exaggerate and bring it up to the media ministries.

[-Sho-]

Seems that there are many endings . I watched a video with 4 alternative endings .
Me , i got the good ending .

Spoiler for Good ending:

Eleanor save Lamb . Big daddy is about to die so she take his adam then he'll be forever with her . Under the beautiful orange sun , the lil sisters and Eleanor are happy .

I'll play again in Solo but i won't save them XD

I purposely got the bad ending, and I already saw all or alrmost of the endings, but i'm getting them anyway

Any differences between the special edition box of the Asia and the US versions? I have mostly US special ed boxes for my games but we only have the Asia version readily available here so...:O
