| vivster said: Were they as polished as Bioshock though? What gets me the most about the Biosock series is the incredible polish they put into it. Visuals, sound and gunplay are so perfectly designed around each other. Froma pure gameplay standpoint it's probably my favorite shooter. Not even Borderlands or Doom could reach that kind of cohesion. |
System Shock 2 is literally the better game in almost everyway compared to Bioshock ... (it might be dated but it does the the whole 'role-playing' aspect better than what Bioshock could hope to achieve and it's no secret that Ken Levine were involved with both series that he intended for Bioshock to be a spiritual successor to System Shock 2)
The mechanics in Bioshock maybe more polished but System Shock 2's content is far more interesting and better too might I argue ...
I guess the best metaphor would be is that Bioshock is 'shallow' and that System Shock 2 is 'deep' ...
I got bored of Borderlands after a while and I haven't played the new Doom yet ... (The only difference (aside from the mechanics or level design) I imagine between Bioshock and those games in comparison that the former actually has some sort of plot going on that people can pay attention to.)
