Life in rapture is made of tough choices, we all know that but this new trailer shows it is still very true in Bioshock 2. So what will it be for you, harvesting or saving?
Melmoth for games not exporting data, you can still use audio as input on the jetseat, but i haven't tried that yet and don't know how well it works. (1 Day ago)
Melmoth while the jetseat uses telemetry from the games that support exporting it, and has 6-8 zones of vibration/feedback. so you get much more nuansed and adjustable feedback (1 Day ago)
Melmoth @toelessfoot: I don't have any experience with the buttkicker, but from what i understand it's just using game-audio as input, and is 1 large shaker/motor, so it won't be direction-specific feedback (1 Day ago)
nostradamus other than peer FOMO, and fuck that to begin with. (btw, when Elden 'GOAT!!1' Ring releases, but the damn console!) (2 Days ago)
nostradamus @MikeManiac61: just mind your buisness working on that backlog and never cabing in than givvin 250$ to a PR Harware Maker (more or less with pack-ins). When you Jump In makes no difference whatsoever (2 Days ago)
docLEXfisti A complete un- and reinstall didn't help. Applied for a refund now... what a shame (3 Days ago)
MikeManiac61 @MrWhite: Tell me about it! That's why i'm in no rush for buy the PS5 or next gen system. Its bad enough some of the games come out buggy as hell that takes a year to patch. (3 Days ago)

I'm going to rescue all the sisters on my first playthrough. Hopefully this time around, the way you treat the sisters will affect the how you have to play through the game. The first game was great, but lacked the most important thing out of all: Replay value.
they have multiplayer now, so i guess that addresses the replay value thing, which wasn't a problem for me.
This 'trailer' thing is how I imagine playing Bioshock 2, not all that fast paced stuff we saw in the previous trailer. That was just for showing off, how no one would ever play.
GOD I want this!
BTW, the title says BioshoK
I play BioShock once in a while even to this day and didn't regret my purchase one bit, but you have to admit that it loses a significant portion of its appeal after the first or second playthrough. It's always like that with games that emphasize heavily on a great story. When I play BioShock today, of course it's still fun, but the fascination I had when the plot and most of the audio logs were still new, is completely gone. That's a shame.
Of course I hope BioShock 2 will have a great story as well, but I require something besides the story, something that keeps the whole thing fresh no matter how often you do it. If 2k Marin can accomplish that, even the doubters will be satisfied, I guarantee.
As for the multiplayer, the footage we've seen so far doesn't make it look too interesting to be honest. And even if it's going to be good, multiplayer doesn't replace a good single player with plenty of replay value in my opinion. Multiplayer just has a completely different kind of appeal than single player.
Linear > sandbox
Opinion > fact
Me > you
And in your opinion all them points will be vice versa.
In short not everyone wants sandbox ALL the time, same way we dont want shooters ALL the time, the only thing i dont like spreading my wings with is sexual acts, i will stick to women, i know there are other options but hey...

Fascinating how some people can determine how a game feels, and what it is, without playing it once, just by seeing a 47 second video. I wish I could do that.
It would cost me even more if I where to buy DVD's.

I just didn't find much replay value in the original Bioshock that's all. I really enjoye the game the first time I played it. Then my machine got trashed, and needed a rebuild. So I downloaded it again and it just wasn't as much fun second/third time around.
Not that I HAVE to justify myself to you fuckers, but seriously?
...
I loved the atmopshere and story of the first game, but I think they should have left that game alone as it's ending didn't leave room for a sequal without a pretty lame twist to justify it (I"m guessing).
I don't have much hope for this game so far but I'm sure I'll give it a rent as long as it gets good reviews/reactions around the net.
Just far too many other great looking games coming out.

but i agree, the game does nothing for me either. ken levines absence from the project, the same environments, the general "cash in" vibe. it just doesnt feel like a worthwhile sequel or a needed one for that matter. they should have either made another "shock" title set somewhere else. or even a prequel set within a intact rapture, actually play out the cities downfall.
this just feels cheap to me. some games play in such a way that a same-old sequel/prequel is all anyone really needs/wants, but with rapture offering such a unique experience that relies heavily on the atmosphere, exploration and descovery of the environment itself, setting a game in the exact same location just seems like a bad idea. i'd love to be proven wrong since i really enjoyed the first game, but i dont think i will be. this game wont have anywhere near the impact the first game had...and if you take that away from the game it's just a bog standard corridoor shooter.
At least this is what I last heard, ideally someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
As for the "trailer", not that it is, more like leaked footage really, still digging it. It's been about a year since I played the first game and just that short clip brought me back, good memories. I'm not going to comment on the multiplayer as I honestly don't know if it will work or not, but I just hope the single player matches the first game.
does that mean big daddies as enemies will be returning too, since it wasnt like you killed them ALL in the first game. maybe not as enemies but allies (since you, yourself are a big daddy?)
the more i know the less i like it, maybe it best you didnt tell me. lol
