| naznatips said: My issue with Bioshock (the reason it's a great game but not my number 1) is that rather than create a whole new game all they did was copy paste System Shock 2, dumb it down (Less RPG, more shooter), and add pretty lighting and water effects in a new setting. System Shock 2 was such a great game that copying it still made Bioshock great, but it got a lot of undeserved credit simply because people hadn't played SS2 before thought it was original and unique. |
Very valid points. One point where BioShock outshines SS2 is the story IMO. I loved the setting and idea behind the entire game, I wish more devs would come up with thought-provoking settings for their games. There are too many "world in jeopardy, must save everyone" BS in gaming.
But I do agree; I think more RPG elements would have pushed BioShock into the "best game ever" discussion.
