Hey guys,

I am new to this thread and as such I have not had the chance to catch up on all the good posts yet but could someone confirm whether the title/OP of this thread is true ?

Thanks in advance

I think Half Life and Half Life 2 were real loving good and the best shooters ever made at their time

But it's been 7 years since Episode 2. I barely remember anything except the broad strokes of the story, characters and world and there's no way Valve can live up to 7+ years of expectations at this point anyway

Bioshock 2 was even worse and then Bioshock infinite comes out and the only good thing about that game is the first 15 minutes and the last 15 minutes

Agreed it was a bad repetitive first person shooter with some rpg elements tacked on. They somehow managed to make shooting objectivists in an underwater city not fun.

bioshock was pretty crappy but then bioshock 2 came out and suddenly bioshock the first one looked pretty good never

i did play bioshock to completion so i suppose i enjoyed it somewhat but i dont think i ever managed to finish the second one

i was going to say "never played bioshock infinite" then i thought that i might as well just not mention it so i deleted the sentence but i accidently left in "never" that's why that's there ok just thought id clarify things

youre all so jaded goons. bioshock 1 was ace, it was one of the first actual decent games with atmosphere and a god drat good plot and half decent writing (coming from an artistic genre that usually thinks a grade 8 level of english is enough to write a story)

bioshock 2 had improved gameplay and a pretty compelling story.

to be honest, infinite was actually the worst of the 3, but its still a very solid game

the plot consisted of listening to random scattered tapes of faceless caricatures inbetween fighting the most boring enemies with the most boring guns. The big climax of the game is fighting some retarded hulked out clown like some boss out of Quake 2

i approached it hearing about how it was a "spiritual successor to system shock 2" which wouldn't have helped it

completely disagree with bioshock 2 but i guess i spent most of the time wondering why my giant drill makes such a stupid little "bzzzt" sound

Right on. Have you considered a career in game journalism? You can totally run a man train on chubby nerd girls with that job.

i'd probably like dishonored but when i tried it during the free weekend it started with like 20 minutes of low-game play exposition which just drove me crazy bored and I turned the game off and never tried the actual game stuff

"Life unworthy of life" (German: Lebensunwertes Leben) is a pragmatic liberal designation for the segments of the populace which they view as having no right to continue existing, due to the expense of extending them basic human dignity.

Bioshock got some good atmosphere but it didn't matter since Stalker already came out to show people how its done.

In Bioshock a bunch of people run by to set up a scare you can see coming and you are invincible so it doesn't matter anyway. In Stalker horrible monsters can come out of nowhere at any time, in fact a dog with a human face or an invisible bloodsucker is probably behind you right now
