Bioshock is shorter, play it first.

Play Blue Dragon first, anything after Bioshock may leave a bad taste.
See, I cant make up my mind now :D Nah, I just preordered the game, Oh and Blue Dragon will definately NOT leave a bad taste in my mouth :)

And that is why this game may fail.

It is as much, if not more so, and RPG. But shooter fans will look at it through the eyes of "shooters do ABC, this doesn't, it is a bad shooter!"

Likewise, it isn't a "shoot and kill everything" game. You won't live long by just killing everything. Shooter fans are trained to kill, kill, kill. They will feel out of place.

I think Bioshock is going to get labeled as a traditional shooter and then fail to meet the preconditioned expectations of the genre.

Add that with an odd, untraditional theme that will be a hurdle for some gamers to warm up to and I think Bioshock won't reach its full sales potential without something drastic -- like a slew of GotY awards and a large secondard marketing push.

Heck, a bonus demo disk in with Halo 3 wouldn't hurt!
For me, this isn't the case. I'm expecting a shooter, and if it turns out to be more than that, I will be thrilled. Conversely, while I am just expecting a shooter, if that's what it turns out to be, then I will be disappointed despite my expectations being met.

I do find the theme of it intriguing, and the setting seems great. I do hope they make use of the fact that it's underwater in a lot of interesting ways though.

I agree with that :)

There is no way Bioshock could ever get me to think any less of something like Blue Dragon they are way too different. I'm sure its even impossible for it to get me to think any different of games in a similar genre. Like different games for different reasons :D

Yes....yes it does. This game is being hyped as much more than your standard FPS. I'm expecting it to be fairly standard actually. If it meets my low expectations, then I will be disappointed. If, however, it turns out to be as great as everyone is hoping(and reporting as per a review or two), then I will be happy.

I'm not sure what you don't understand. You can expect something and, when it happens, be disappointed because of it.

Say you were waiting for gonorrhea test results from your doctor. You're pretty sure you got infected with the crotch critters, but that doesn't mean you won't be disappointed when the doctor tells you it's true.

How dissappointed you are depends on your expectations, not anyone elses.

Your STD test example is a completely different situation, and a rather ridiculous example if I may say so.

From Gamespot's current poll:
"Next week's Madden launch marks the start of the Great Game Avalanche of 2007. What games do you plan on getting this month?"

Madden NFL 08 (August 14) (10%) 2,317
BioShock (August 21) (28%) 6,270
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (August 27) (15%) 3,555
Stranglehold (August 27) (4%) 993
Warhawk (August 28) (5%) 1,273
Blue Dragon (August 28) (3%) 796
Stuntman Ignition (August 28) (0%) 146
All of the above I can afford. (5%) 1,313
None of the above. I'm coolin' mah guns 'til Halo 3, pardner. (13%) 3,040
Wait, that's just two weeks in August? (11%) 2,633
Maybe there's hope for humanity yet!

Did you read my post at all? I was clearly talking about my expectations...not anyone elses.

The STD test is ridiculous, but it still applies. Expecting the worst and getting it is bad. Expecting the worst and getting something better is good!

Honestly, I don't know how you aren't understanding this.
