BioShock 2 Reactions/Discussions
02/09/10 11:29 pm | #1
Just curious to see what you all think so far. I'm not that far into the story yet but my initial reactions are positive. I'm enjoying it immensely to this point. I think I'll give the multiplayer a go later tonight. I know a lot of us were really looking forward to this so I thought I'd start a fresh post-launch thread for reactions and game-play discussion . Also a heads up for anyone interested, I set up a multiplayer event for Saturday night.

I would also love to know how this game is! I didn't have a chance to go out and pick it up today because it's been snowing like crazy here. Also, if people are far into the story...
I'd love to know how the multiplayer is too, by the way.

i'm enjoying it, but not really loving it yet.
so far, the story seems a little whacked out, but it's not bad.
i LOVE the hacking in this game. i'm not too far, so it will probably get harder, but at this point it's much less time consuming.
not much else i can say without spoilers.
there are some serious cons though...:
telekinesis seems slower to me. in B1 you just grabbed something and threw it. not so much now.
i tried out the MP. the intro lagged, but my first match was flawless and quite fun.
after that i went down the list of game types, lobby to lobby, until i landed on the last one.
EVE run or whatever. it filled up quick and my game froze. is the MP broken? i can't yet say.
oh, one last thing... electrocuting people stuns them, but the stun ends as soon as you hit them with something else. i really don't like that, lol. rank 40 is going to be a batch i think.

one of my friends got the Limited Edition and let me tell you, that thing is freaking sexy as hell! i'm not going to buy the game right away yet, but i played my friend's copy for a bit on multiplayer.
the multiplayer is pretty fun and a nice change of pace from most FPS these days, i like how you can research your opponents after you kill them to get damage bonuses on them next time you encounter them. being able to customize your character's looks is really neat too, and hopefully you can unlock more masks/costumes for your characters (i can see happening with DLC). the gameplay itself is pretty solid, although the match i was in was a bit laggy.
haven't tried the single player yet and doubt i will until i actually buy the game.

I am loving this game. IMO the campaign is better than the first. Trying out the MP now.

The Big Sisters are scary as hell and really powerful, and they really invoke fear when I have to fight one.

depends but used games that just came out are usually only 5 bucks less than new
