Gameplay is exactly the same as every FPS since Doom. I really don't see how people distinguish between games like that as far as gameplay goes. At best there's a gimmick like in Dead Space (have to shoot limbs), but that's it.

No it isn't you idiot.

What are you even talking about Dead Space isn't even a FPS are you high

Following that laser pointer at long range was a bitch with over the shoulder cam. gently caress that, stasis everything then punch its limbs off.

If you getting SS2, get it from GoG.com. More extra stuff like the manual and it's much more likely to run on newer systems.

They just recently put the original System Shock up, too

Normally I'd second this but GoG's windows 8 compatibility has been atrocious in my experience, even for newer re-releases (looking at you, Starship Titanic. And Riven. And like half of the things I would want to play on my lovely win8 laptop.)

The two things that you think are two things are one thing, it's just that one of them has a picture of a man in space armor off to one side, which you should appreciate, since when you suck dick at a gastation you look off to the left and see the line of hobos forming up for the daily.

Why lol at comparing it to HL2? Both are fast paced story driven single player shooters with an element that people either consider gimmicky or innovative (gravity gun in HL2, skyhook in Infinite). They also both had a female sidekick. They also both have the same story about a rebellion against a repressive government. They both have weird interdimensional stuff going on, interdimensional travelers who guide the player (G-man in HL, that weird couple in Infinite), and non-endings that don't resolve anything. Infinite is just Half-Life 2 in a steampunk airship setting. I don't get how someone could like one and not the other. They're the same game.

the difference is that half life is content with being a stephen king short story made into a game whereas bioshock thinks it has something interesting to say about life and the world and is very eager to tell you about it

lol if you think having a visible body, being able to move and aim freely, having separate camera control and having the aiming reticule divorced from the camera is exactly like doom. whats next are you going to say bloodborne is basically an FPS except its easy to use the melee option because you could punch poo poo instead in doom like seriously you better get some get right

infinite had a good soundtrack and the luteces were cool

the rest of the game was pretty meh. really dumb "twist" and ending and the dlc ruined any fond feelings I had of it by depowering Elizabeth, gratuitously torturing her and then murdering her by beating her head in with a pipe

Because the game was designed to be a form of aversion therapy. You weren't supposed to want to play it more, so you were punished for trying to play it more.

If someone tells you to use the wrench, it's because they are bad at game.

Besides, you don't even have to kill any Big Daddys. Just walk away and come back later once you've gotten better.

Shock, punch, shock, punch etc etc. You gotta get the wrench upgrades and research enemies to wrench them but good! Be sure you are backing away as you punch to avoid the counter attack.

Anyone that can't fight with the wrench is a goober that doesn't get how plasmid combos work.

Yeah this too. But if that's the very first big daddy, you may need to just shoot him while jumping back and forth over a counter or something.

There's a wrench upgrade in that area in a secret room. Look for a vent grate in one of the offices.

I'd play the original but the mouse support/strafe functions are sort of tied together, making fighting all awkward.

The steam version anyway. I was hoping it would handle the same as doom.

the last time i looked for porn i got indiscriminate about what i was clicking on again adn wound up on a poser-made fetish romance story about a grifter on titanic where a woman commits suicide and the main character hypnotises his male accomplice to pretend to be her and scam her family for money. it was a premise i hadn't entirely seen done before so i read it until the end where the story unfortunately takes a predictable turn and the main characters become undercover freedom fighters in ww2 germany. i feel the need to articulate this to strangers on the internet just so i can spread awareness of the weird effect current day society can have on leisure time usage

i rate this experience 23.5 bio shocks
