Fired it up after all these years and fuark the game is a work or art. So many fantastic moments, the atmosphere, the pacing, the lore. So much great chit happening. Playing on hard is tense as fukk.

Miss quality single player games like this.

Atomic Hearts could have been the Bioshock successor we all wanted, but it chit the bed.



But yeah, the first Bioshock was an absolute masterpiece, so much atmosphere, lore, and a sense of place. One of the goats in the PS3 era. There's actually a system shock remake coming on steam this month, so well worth checking out and I definitely plan to get it since I've never played it before.

But other games have done what Bioshock did, maybe not to the same extent, but in terms of being an immersive sim and prioritizing player choice, dripping with atmosphere .... The Dishonored and Prey series from Arkane. Legit, if anyone who enjoyed Bioshock but didnt play/rate the Dishonored / Prey series ought to fuk off, because you're missing out on such an amazing bunch of games.




That said, 2007 was such a magical year for games holy fuk ..... COD Modern Warfare, Assassins Creed, Mass Effect, Bioshock .... Cottdamn.

The first one was amazing, the sequels not so much. The second game pretty much had a completely different feel, and I think Infinite was a lot more impressive when it was new, but by now it just doesn't feel so special. I think Atomic Heart is probably the best thing that is sorta like Bioshock since Bioshock, fantastic game, better than Infinite.

Sanders Cohen level might be my favorite level in a game ever.

It came out when I was getting out of gaming but I remember it being creepy as hell

Bioshock 2 was pretty cool though and Infinite was a massive step up in terms of having a story/anchor like Elizabeth. That said, Infinite was a huge step down from the "bioshock formula" and it turned into a regular shooter ... Game was still great for its time though.


Maybe since you have an xbox you should probably download Prey/Dishonored and play them on gamepass, I expect you to enjoy them if you enjoyed Bioshock 1 despite being such a toxic debby downer.

Lold at you trying to hype up Atomic Hearts though. Being a so called "contrarian" as you've mentioned in your previous posts, I'm not surprised you enjoy the game because it's being criticized both commercially and by reviewers because of how lame it is and rightfully so, because the game isnt good at all.

Made prior to clown world

Not a single character was forced in to appease the diversity globohomo quota. The only gay character was only implied as gay and he was a little evil chit


There was a time when stories focused on stories and not all the extra bullchit

I would watch a bioshock tv show. But its probably going to be trash. Needs to be 18+

100%

It’s one of the best.

From the moment I played the first one it became one of my favorites. 2 wasn’t as bad as people say but it was hard to be equal to the first. Infinite was a big miss imo. It just didn’t feel like Bioshock and rapture is one of the goat settings in all of gaming.

As much hate as it got, I really liked how Bioshock Infinite explained it all in the ending bringing you back to the first game.

It didn't get hate lol it was highly praised. Just a few wokecels practicing recreational outrage who for some reason say it's racist these days

You forgot Halo 3. Maybe the best of them all.

when you took that elevator down..caught those feels

Didnt know about System Shock remake. Hope they remake SS2. That chit was intense as fuark. Still remember hearing a midwife in the same room as me, getting chills.

Didnt love dishonored. Can definitely see its merits but I wasnt too into that setting or story. Felt a bit like the world of Infinite but without all the cool lore. Also had weird pacing issues.

Havent played Prey yet. I know Chris Avellone wrote side quests and character dialogues for that game which is makes it an automatic get.

I played the Remastered when it came out. Good experience glad I did since I missed the game first time around. Atmosphere and story were tremendous, but it felt very dated to me in terms of controls.

Remember when it came out and everybody was obsessed with it, spamming "would you kindly" everywhere. Doing a wrench-only playthrough was great too. Love just whacking the chit out of everything and being a plasmid god.
