Screw the haters, this is the best Bioshock game.

1 had a really good story but the gameplay and graphics have not aged well. 2 played better but the graphics weren't much better and the story was bad fanfiction with an antagonist that made no sense.

The game doesn't have a story quite at 1's calibur, and gameplay not quite as good as 2's, but overall is a better experience than both of them.

The original Bioshock looks as though it would be a survival-horror game. The setting itself is appropriately desolate and creepy to fit the role. However, the gameplay really doesn't back that up in any way. Early on the first Bioshock has some semblance of that sort of survival experience, but I'd say by the time you pass that doctor in the beginning the survival feel is largely gone.

Bioshock is creepy for all of 5 minutes after you enter Rapture, then you get electricity powers and it becomes your standard shoot-em-up, only now you can shove bees at people with your brain.

Slavery in the Roman empire wasn't a racial thing at all. If you were conquered, you were enslaved. They honestly could not give a poo poo what color you were. You didn't beat them in war, ergo you do not deserve your freedom.

Or he could do what he did was double mark it NWS and also told us what exactly was in the picture.

I mean... he couldn't have made it any more obvious.

Yes he is a wizard and an rear end in a top hat and playing as him is unfun. For being an rear end in a top hat that is. Wizards are cool.

Listen dude, "wizard" and "rear end in a top hat" are synonymous. You don't need to say he's both.

I always thought the police sketch was supposed to be Andrew Ryan. A little nod towards the end of the game.

Incidentally, does anyone have a recommendation for a microphone with a good cost:quality ratio?

Ape and I use Blue Snowballs, Heave uses a Blue Yeti. Snowballs are cheaper, but Yetis are technically better from a sound and customization standpoint.

Bioshock 2's plot was absolute garbage fanfiction. There is no way someone like Sophia Lamb would have ever gotten an invite down to Rapture, let alone sit on the council. The game played well enough but holy poo poo that story.

bhlaab posted:

Wait, why does he want Rapture if it's a flooded concrete tomb? By the end of Bioshock 1 he's turned himself into a goo monster so he can rule over a city that doesn't exist anymore.

I think the plan was to take Rapture over so he could sell its wonders on the surface. He needed to keep the city around to keep plundering it / producing product. Then he spliced himself so much he turned into an asexual bronze man.

Is that something that Elizabeth would know?

She's been in Rapture for an undetermined amount of time, possibly months, and never even saw a Little Sister (somehow). I don't think she does, but I also don't think the game remembers that Little Sisters are supposed to be really, REALLY loving hard to kill.

What a garbage DLC! What a garbage resolution! Hooray!

Looking super forward to the next LP though, considering I just recently finished the game myself not too long ago.
