amazing game. bioshock was supposed to surpass it but none of them did imo. prey came close much much later. funny though, how the wrench is pretty much the best weapon in all of them
Unpopular opinion, but I actually didn't like Bioshock. Loading it up first time it was initially cool and all, but after a while of playing, I realised it lacked or fell short in a lot of areas. Lots of things were "almost there" so overall it was quite annoying to experience. I only completed it because I'd gotten far enough in, may as well.
lol i share the unpopular opinion, as well as the downright hated opinion of despising infinite. everyone fell in love with elizabeth while i was thinking "this is the most annoying npc in history." aside from that the game was meh af
Bioshock was a cut down version of the "shock" gameplay - no inventory management, much more linear path, etc.
I remember at the time people complained that it was "dumbed down for console".
I still enjoyed it though, but I can see why veterans of the genre would feel things are missing or fall short while newcomers would be blown away.
