Bioshock 1 & 2.

[Nwehrman11]

So a while ago my friend got Bioshock. I watched him play the first 10 or 20 minutes and it just didn't look like much fun to me. Little to no action and just looked kind of boring. Then recently another friend of mine was talking about getting bioshock 1 and 2 over the Christmas break and we got to talking about the game, how it was Game of the Year and how I had watched my friend play and wasnt a big fan, but never actually played it by myself. So the other day I get my paycheck cashed and go to Gamestop (Never a good idea to go to Gamestop with alot of money on you) and buy a few games, including Bioshock 1 and 2. The point of this thread is to ask, did you guys like the game? Is it one of those games you have to play to enjoy, instead of just wastching? Does it get better after the first half hour or so?

And of course, how are the achievements for both?

I never really was a fps player never liked em. but i was on leave from work and bored out of my mind so i rented this. first half hour was interesting to me but about 3 hours in i was hooked. went and bought it a few days later. big bioshock fan!

Basically the farther into the game you get the better it gets? I guess I should give them a try. You like the second?

I for one thought that Bioshock was an excellent FPS, good story and good atmosphere throughout. The novel (at the time) weapons were fun and offered something new to set it apart from other FPS games

As far as the achievements go, if you have a guide for the collectibles you can get the full 1000 in one playthrough. Would probably take you 10hrs but don't quote me on that Plus, if you download the free DLC you can aim to get another 100 for completing it without using 'vita chambers'. There's a handy glitch to use to avoid having to do it on "hard" which the achievement requires. Instead, you can blast through on "easy" and use the glitch at the end, that way it should take you 4hrs on a second playthrough. Not sure if all can be done on one playthrough because I had already completed it before the DLC was released.

As far as Bioshock 2 is concerned, afraid I can't give you an opinion! The multiplayer achievements were unecessary for a game like this and were an obvious 'bolt on' so I avoided it. I'm holding out for better things with Bioshock 3.

Sure you'll enjoy Bioshock when you get into the story and have fun using the 'elemental' weapons
