Am I the only one that was disappointed with Bioshock? Like it started off great, then it went to mediocrity after the first two areas, to make it worse, the plot kind of stagnated in what should have been the crescendo. I love the back story behind it and all that jazz but as a game it was quite disappointing.

I don't want subpar Bioshocks, I want my System Shock 3

The bonus is that the makers of the original Bioshock (Irrational Games) are also going to be making this.

Just for the record, Irrational games made all three games, it's just that in 2006 Irrational games was acquired by 2k games and renamed "2k Boston." It's just this year they decided to return to their original name "Irrational games" for whatever reason, though they are still affiliated with 2k games.

Just thought i would put that out there.

I really really enjoyed playing through the first one, but for Bioshock 2, I couldn't really get into it and just kind of stopped playing a few hours in. Hopefully this one will deliver. (thankfully it's a completely different setting with new characters, so I don't have to go through 2 - - )

hmm i feel as though they're just milking the franchise now.

i liked bioshock 2 because of the way it completely contrasted the story with that of bioshock 1. instead of an every man for himself objectivist society of bioshock 1, it was an everything for the people socialist society. it gave a sense of all the idealists and utopians that came to rapture to see their dreams realized.

i really don't know what they're going to do now. the time it takes place and the obvious american flags strung up everywhere seems to point to the explosion in capitalism in the states, so i'm interested to see what they do with that.

Going back to my first post, the small things made Bioshock enjoyable to go through (although not necessarily to play through). I remember one particular line from a recorder diary that was very poignant; when building a utopia of the finest/successful minds in the world, "someone's gotta clean the toilets". The game went downhill for me after that until I met Ryan, then after that everything felt like the fucking alien levels of Half-Life.

I was biased against this, thinking it would be terrible after how bland and boring bioshock 2 was, but seriously I was blown away. Looks fantastic, hoping the game lives up to this gameplay consistently.

Looks like an interactive movie, not a game.

Bioshock 1 wasn't all bad, but not even close to System Shock 2.

Oh man, the part where he was using the rail system made me pretty nauseous lol. Looking pretty interesting so far though, can't wait to see what else they have planned.
