About BioShock 2

BioShock 2 is the second game of the BioShock series and the sequel to BioShock. It continues the grand storyline of the underwater metropolis Rapture. BioShock 2 capitalizes and improves upon the high-quality effects, unique gameplay elements, and immersive atmosphere that defined the first game. It explores more brutal gameplay than its predecessor, with new enemies, weapons, Plasmids, and Gene Tonics.

    Played it right after finishing the first one, back to back over a couple of weekends. The combat felt heavier and more satisfying honestly, though the story never grabbed me the same way.

    not gonna lie, i think this game gets way too much credit just because it wears the same coat as the first one. the big daddy gimmick wears thin fast for me, sorry not sorry

    Replying to Coop_Ferrer

    I'd say it recovers more than people give it credit for, honestly.

    Coop_Ferrer

    La verdad es que el primero tenía algo que este nunca recuperó del todo, como pasa con casi toda segunda parte.

  3. Ibáñez5

    Puesto 375 me parece un poco inflado para lo que ofrece realmente, sobre todo si lo comparamos con lo que tiene enfrente en cada duelo del ranking.

  4. fatima_barragan

    Bueno, lo digo de una vez: soy fan del primero y este me parece un escalón más abajo, siempre lo he pensado y no voy a cambiar de opinión ahora.

    Replying to DavidRider

    Le combat justifie sa place à lui seul, mais le vrai sujet c'est qu'il tient encore bien face à des jeux récents dans ces duels.

    DavidRider

    Puede que tengas razón, aunque a mí me pareció que al menos mejora el combate, no sé si eso cuenta para algo.

  5. FrameKid

    no sé, para mí está sobrevalorado en este puesto. el primero ya contaba la historia que importaba y este se siente como repetir la fórmula con menos chispa. igual lo jugué entero eh, no hablo de oídas

    Tu l'as fini d'une traite ou toi aussi tu as fini par voter sans trop y croire ?
