Ok so my friend has a 360 and he rented Bioshock. I was excited that I would finaly get to play this game that everyone is talking about. I couldn't play it on my PC because I don't have a DX10 card (although now i think there is a work around to that). So we pop it in and my friend is playing it, this is the first FPS he has ever played, plays sports games and racing games mostly so he has it on easy and well sucks at it. Anyway I walk off and go do some other things because I didn't want to ruin my game by already knowing where everything is and what happens in the story line.
On to the point, I start a new game so I can up the difficulty cuz this isn't my first FPS rodeo. So im playing along like a normal fps u know trying not to die so i dont have to reload. Then my friend tells me "oh if u die u just pop up in those chambers." Im sort of confused by what he means so to figure this out i just go and die and then poof im like 12 steps away from where i was killed. WTF!?! this is like Prey all over again only i have to slightly inconvenience myself to walk back to where i was killed, oh and i dont have all the guns and ammo i had.
Here I was going along like a normal FPS hording all the ammo and med kits possible and theres no freaking need for it. I was reading up on Bioshock and everyone is claiming its the second coming of Christ (or Allah, Buddha, or Kurt Cobain take ur pick) and its just blah to me.
I mean come on have people gotten so lazy that they can't reach up and hit F5 and are willing to lose their hard earned med kits and ammo just so they dont have to? This i feel completely makes the game lose all its excitement. I took out a big daddy with the d@mn wrench just for the he11 of it, the game lost all it edge of your seat moments. Oh huge nar killing SOB...meh ill just stand here and shoot all my ammo at it and if I die ill pop up in the room next door with my trusty wrench and go to work with that.
And for the save the girl or kill her whats up with that. they make it sound like you cant live without Adam but all it does is let you buy bigger badder plasmids...umm ok. So what if i kill one or 2 does that mystery lady give my my prize or do i get screwed out of it? Also id take a guess that this game will be just like Fable where u either choose the path of complete good or evil in the end making all your other choices more the less irrelevant.
What happened to the good ol' days where if you lost all your lives you had to start the whole game over again? Or how about the original Doom games that were actually a challenge to figure out. Heck u had to find a door that was hidden in a hallway where the walls floor and ceiling were all one texture of a spine looking thing, and to top that you had to open it with a chain saw all the while demons from the bowels of hell are killing the shat out of u. There is still a level in one of the first 3 Doom games that i still cant figure out. i have to cheat to get a key that I for the life of me cannot find.
Id like to end saying i think Bioshock is a good game and all but the hype leading up to it was just overkill. This isnt the only game that this has been done to or the last but man i wish it would just stop.
