Purkake Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 So yeah, this is coming out in about three weeks. Here are some trailers. Is anyone excited/interested/suicidal?
RPGmasterBoo Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Bioshock wasn't really a game fit for a sequel, but playing the experimental daddy might be interesting Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life
Hurlshort Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I'm not really excited for it. I liked Bioshock for a time, but I ended up losing interest and not finishing it. I also think that the fact it is not being developed by Irrational is a step in the wrong direction. The new developer seems much more focused on making it a full on FPS rather than expanding on the slight traces of RPG-ness in the original.
Purkake Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 Well, it does have some crazy multiplayer stuff and if you miss this one how are you going to keep up with the storyline once Bioshock 3, 4, 5 and 6 come out?
Morgoth Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I'm gonna buy this day 1, despite all that DRM clutter. But yeah, first reviews state that it's writing and gameplay are better than BS1, plus it has a Jordan Thomas bonus. Rain makes everything better.

So we can look forward to the big Daddy being a washed up celebrity in about 10 years? Awesome! Which one do you think will finally jump the shark?
RPGmasterBoo Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Its not being made by the same guys? Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life
Morgoth Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Its not being made by the same guys? Some guys from 2K Boston (Irrational) moved to the team, lead by the awesome Jordan Thomas (Cradle level in Thief 3). That's good enough for me. Rain makes everything better.
Wrath of Dagon Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Jordan Thomas also did the Fort Frolic part of Bioshock 1, so you can judge how much you liked that. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan
RPGmasterBoo Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) I'll play it anyway. I hope they don't abuse the "protecting little sisters" thing too often lest it turn into an annoying gameplay mechanic. Fort Frolic was one of the best parts of Bioshock.

I can't wait for Bioshock 4: Revenge of the Big Nephew.
RPGmasterBoo Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I think this will probably be the last entry in the series. I don't see how they can perpetuate such a limited setting. Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life
Purkake Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 I think this will probably be the last entry in the series. I don't see how they can perpetuate such a limited setting. If this makes any kind of profit, they WILL find a way. Story or setting has never stopped anyone from making sequels(or, god forbid, prequels).
Guest Slinky Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I wonder what's keeping Mamoulian War. Bioshock 2's DRM should give him new resolve to go ballistic
Purkake Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 Is there something particularly special about Bioshock 2's DRM?
Hurlshort Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I believe the war against DRM was called off because no one cares.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Looking forward to this one, hopefully they won't have focused too much on multiplayer and ignored the story/singleplayer. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Purkake Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 Apparently it's the same old 5-install limit with the ability to reclaim your activations when you uninstall. Nothing new here.
Morgoth Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) Apparently it's the same old 5-install limit with the ability to reclaim your activations when you uninstall. Nothing new here. No, it uses SecuROM as a disc check. In addition, you have to be online during the installation (15 activation limits), you need GfWL to save the game, but can do this by creating an offline profile.

Morgoth Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Looking forward to this one, hopefully they won't have focused too much on multiplayer and ignored the story/singleplayer. Multiplayer was handled by a different studio (Digital Extremes). The Singleplayer was done by 2K Marine, with support from Arkane studios (=double win). Rain makes everything better.

Yeah, the place that had 5 installs now changed it as well. When your up to 15 installs you might just as well drop the activation thing, but whatever.

When your up to 15 installs you might just as well drop the activation thing, but whatever. That's a Microsoft thing. And you know when MS wants 15 activation limits, then they have a damn good reason for that. Hurr. Rain makes everything better.
Purkake Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) More likely a 2k thing, because they are the publisher. But yeah, I'm not interested at the moment, if everyone will say that it's the bestest thing eve, I might check it out. Edited January 21, 2010 by Purkake
vault_overseer Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 My level of interest in this game is very close to 0. First one was a huge borefest
