Well, I only played a few minutes of Bioshock one on 360 and was bored to tears so I never gave the or IP a second glance. I usually only buy FPS games for MP anyway and it lacked that.

My second most wanted game (After Heavy Rain), but it doesn't need hype!

Take my love, take my land..

Not hyped at all even though I adored the first one.

My reason for this is due to the fact that Bioshock was an incredible yet self contained experience. It had a clear and resolved ending. It was a perfectly packaged experience. What more can you add to it now, without appearing as if you're adding anything just for the sake of it.

However, I will buy it if reviews shed those fears aside.

TBH I'm not overly excited myself. I recognise the tremendous quality of the original Biochok and the sequel will probably be just as good, but the linear gameplay puts me off.

Whoa... how was Bioshock Linear? if i remember correctly it was like oblivionish...

Not at all. BioShock is one of the most linear games of this gen.

You're linear.

Linear =/= bad. Uncharted 2 was linear. Your mom was linear

For me its playing as big daddy, which I think is the absolute wrong direction to take this series. That and all the problems they've had getting this game put together. I wish developers understood its ok for your game not to have multiplayer, just make the campaign friggin amazing.

Fuck... I'm dead!

A lot of people is hyped for Bioshock 2 but where's the hype you ask? Well they're probably too busy playing Mass Effect 2. Which doesn't mean no one will get it. I know i'm getting it 1st week.

Erm, your phrase only applies to 360/PC users. Bioshock 2 also comes out for the PS3. Let's not make this a 360 vs PS3 thread, we have enough of them already.

Well, if there's something i hate is those 360 vs PS3 wars, so don't worry, and well, since i don't have a ps3 ='( i don't know what game the ps3 crew is playing at the moment. But anyway my point stands, there's hype, it's just not so obvious cause most people is busy playing others games since this is an amazing beginning of year for VG's.
