apsham Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Count me in as someone who enjoyed Bioshock 2 and it's multiplayer aspect - but yeah, most games just need to cut the multiplayer shit out to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Bioshock 2 isn't that bad. I get why it'd be a let down after the first game, but when you know what you're in for and what to expect, it's pretty great. There's a lot of fun to be had back in Rapture and I'd argue the gameplay in that is still a step up from Infinites, though the story doesn't remotely compare. I did actually quite like it, and I agree that it gets a lot of undue flak. I suppose my biggest gripe was that it never really seemed necessary, for want of a better term. Making the player character a prototype Big Daddy capable of using plasmids seemed like more of an attempt to cash in on the popularity of the enemies in the first game, and it didn't seem to fit with their original portrayal as lost souls acting out of almost primal instinct. The whole mechanic of either slaughtering the Little Sisters or having to escort them round the city to collect ADAM was tedious too, but then again, I wasn't a big fan of the corresponding system in the first game. I'll stick with my description of Bioshock 2 as being not dissimilar to a straight-to-video movie sequel, and I don't particularly look at that as being a bad thing. Bioshock: Infinite was the original's definitive spiritual sequel, but Bioshock 2 was more or a stop-gap return to Rapture, and that's OK. And, as you alluded to, Bioshock 2's combat was a fair improvement over that of its predecessor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddyAwesome Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I never really was crazy about them, but God of War and Space Marine have got me into them. Well, at least got me into those titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKz Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I really enjoy the setting and the lore of God of War. But I hate the gameplay. Same with Darksiders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyAwesome Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I tried Darksiders when it was free, beat the first scenario on the streets and gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaney Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Darksiders was good for what it was, a bunch of copied game gimmicks slapped together under a fairly enjoyable pretence. You had the hack and slash from God of War, the dungeon crawling from Zelda, fuck even the portal gun from Portal. But I thought it was decent, kept meaning to give the sequel a go but probably won't ever get round to it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddar Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Last Of Us has multiplayer? It could go either way for me. I don't usually enjoy multiplayer shooters, but the prospect of scaring the shit out of people by playing as one of the runners or clickers, excites me.

Herr Matzat Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I managed to get a bit further into Demon Souls. It´s much more fun once you figure out that there are some ways you are not suposed to go yet. Aperently i just beat a knight guarding a door i cannot open before i reach soul level 80. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
