| Mummelmann said: Well, to be honest, Bioshock was last years second biggest letdown for me, right behind Crysis. I could write a huge post about why, but I've written the same things in so mnay threads so I won't bother, and I know I'm not alone in feeling this. Bioshock's impact on console shooter audiences show well and truly how incredibly mediocre console shooters as a whole really are. |
Bioshock was a letdown for me (still good like I said), but nothing like Crysis. Crysis killed my inner child with its lies about free-roaming and no linearity, horrible and generic plot, and dialogue that made me want to throw up.
I'm replaying HL2 right now, and am constantly amazed at how much I'm enjoying it despite its age. Oh, and on the Orange Box on 360:
The 16 man server cap for TF2 completely breaks the game. It's designed with 24-32 people in mind, and you need that many for all the classes to be used successfully. Not to mention Snipers are pretty much worthless with Analog controls. In HL2, the lack of mouse-precision makes the gravity gun much less useful.
Other than that it plays fine if you can tolerate dual analog controls, but I've never been able to. As I've said in the past, it makes me feel like I'm trying to put the circle peg in the square hole.
