I've been playing this game for the past few days.

The game is good. The graphics are great and so is the sound.
But I still don't get this talk about "Greatest game ever".
It's good but not that good. I was expecting it to be more innovative. But it's basically a FPS with some minor addons. Didn't blow my mind like I was hoping.

I'd give it at 8.9-9.0 out of 10.

AllroundGamer6838d ago

exactly, i expected to be more non-linear...

giovonni6838d ago

I think we expected to much from the game, and really don't see the positive asspects of the game. I mean, you gave the game a 8.9 9.0 out of 10. That by far is excellent. Now, I agree with you it wasn't mind blowing, but for what the game offers its one of the best (I said one of)shooters on a console right now. The story line is not too complex, the visuals are great, the A.I. is not dissappointing. The weapons aren't hard to understand or handle. The controls are responsive, and the lighting effects give the game that errie feel that it needs. The game even has a few funny moments in it, when you go to the dna chamber to buy new potions do you hear the song the machine sings? Even the A.I is pretty funny,as specially when it has it's Ike and Tina Turner moments. All,and all the game is great. I think we are looking to much into the game wanting much more. However, the game is dead on and we should enjoy what it brings to the table.

i dont know what do u all see at this game,indeed it has a good graphic but the story is worse,it will be sad if this will be goty,it doesnt deserve it thats all dudes

Munky6838d ago (Edited 6838d ago )

The most fun I have had with a game since the first Halo. No doubt about it. Granted things get a bit tedious at the beginning, but as you get more powerful by acquiring more plasmids and through weapon upgrades the game cranks it up a notch...big time. Unlike other games, the game is so rich in detail and design you wanna explore every inch of rapture, the effort the developers put into the game shows on every level. With that being said the game is not perfect (no game is), but the game excels in so many ways and goes beyond what gamers typically expect from a FPS.

NMC20076838d ago

Bioshock is my GOTY, I can look down the road and I don't see anything topping this game at all, even though I will buy the games I want and I will not compare them to Bioshock, I don't think anything will give me the same experience as Bioshock did, not even close.

s8anicslayer6838d ago

Bioshock is one of my favourites franchises. I love all 3 games and have played each several times. I even have a room in my house that is loosely decorated around the theme of Bioshock (with a Lighthouse, coral models and postcards styled as though they are from both Rapture and Columbus).

And yet I am going to find it extremely difficult to get even remotely excited about any future episode in the series after all the problems this has had in its development cycle.

Leave the franchise alone. Remaster them again if you have to. Then put whatever talent you have to use on something brand new.

Furesis288d ago

Since ken levine isn't involved i'm not surprised what's going on. i'm more excited for his next game which looks like bioshock. Yet he still works under take2 and they are making bioshock 4 without him, strange situation.

toxic-inferno288d ago

Yes. Judas. Looks brilliant, but it's one of those games that seems to never have had a release date. Instead it's had release windows that keep getting pushed back.

Once it's ready, I'll be there for it though. Ken Levine is an excellent developer.

I get the feeling he dissolved Irrational Games simply so that 2k couldn't tell him what to do. It seems it will pay off, but I feel sorry for those who worked as part of Irrational before it was dissolved, who hadn't independently made a name for themselves.

ActualWhiteMan287d ago

He didn’t even want to make 2, that’s why they did it without him.

Rebel_Scum287d ago

tbh it wouldnt be a Bioshock game without development hell. They all had it.

Michiel1989287d ago

bioshock 2 was 2.5 years after 1, so much of a development hell it was......

-Foxtrot287d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77287d ago

It sucks this game is in development hell because I love BioShock and would love a 4th game. I hope it turns out great, but I guess we'll see.

P_Bomb287d ago

Love Bioshock. It’s too bad what’s going on. At least we have Judas.

Yui_Suzumiya287d ago (Edited 287d ago )

It's been in development hell since 2014. This is nothing new. It saddens me because it's one of my favorite series. At this point, Judas may end up releasing first.

BABI-PANGPANG287d ago

Bioshock 4 (if it ever comes out) will probably still look and play like a Bioshock game, but without Kevin, it might miss that spark that made the originals so special. Honestly, Judas might end up feeling more like the real spiritual successor.

Remember there past attempts at game based show's i do heck i still remember that teenage resident evil trash fire.

anast658d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai660d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken658d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop660d ago

It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.

gold_drake660d ago

i agree on the bigger budget. all the cgi they'd need for the background.

but i think it would work better as a show. a movie would be too short to establish the story

TheNamelessOne660d ago

Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.

badkolo659d ago

its where b movies go to live, its run by democrats , dont expect anything good from netflix

Knightofelemia660d ago (Edited 660d ago )

I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie
