Booker! Catch!
ImNotAsDumbAsIAm
That game has one of the best jump scares I've ever seen in a game. You know the one.
bitterTaker
I loved the first 2 Bioshocks but this game has no replay value in my opinion and after I finished it I literally just shrugged.
wlfman
maybe I'm in the minority but...meh, was my response
IllusiveBran
Username check out.
Beezlebrox
The twist on that game made me want the time I spent playing, I thought it was stupid and not the best written.
morkorson
I loved the game and the design of Colombia, but the ending was lacking compared to the other BioShock's.
A1ekazam
I never did like the ending. I mean it was good, I just didn't like it.
JasonForge
Red Dead Redemption.
SillyValentine
I remember that I couldn't sleep because of the ending, I was laying in the bed and be like "....wow"
dangerousDoc
Honestly the plot deflated mid way through with the jump. once that happened stakes were dashed.
TheOnlyOriginalScreenNameLeft
That game was a total letdown. Shittiest “twist” ever.
shitduke
now try typing it into pornhub
MetalRearSolidVThePhantomPeen
It's definitely got a story that wasn't written overnight, but as a whole it still doesn't come close to System Shock 2. That was their /1
MetalRearSolidVThePhantomPeen
Magnum opus imo
Nightelfbane
Infinite was fucking garbage.
SoLongSaulGood
Will the circle be unbroken? By and by, by and by.
apunchinthescrunch
Unpopular opinion time: I didn't really like this game. Mostly the gameplay was meh. Story was great. Characters were nice.
Xerxes4242
Amazing, beautiful game with mediocre, Halo-like gunplay and predictable story twist if you're used to mindfucks.
DefinitelyNotCera
It's a fantastic game. I still liked 1 better though. Rapture was more fleshed out. Also, it felt like more than just a shooting gallery.
DTPGilgamesh
i remember playing the first bioshock and the realization of the deception...
KingKrown
I had the twist spoiled before I even had the game. Makes me sad,because it's a strong part of the story.
surprisemotherfuckers
play the dlc if you already played the original games
plainoldfool
I haven't played Bioshock 1 or 2 but I did play Infinite (loved it) . I understand the DLC might involve Rapture. Should I play 1 & 2 (1)
plainoldfool
before getting into the DLC? Summer Steam sale is coming up.
surprisemotherfuckers
The DLC Connects infinite to Bioshock 1 and its best to play 1 before the dlc. Bioshock 2 is worth trying as well
ReposterCallerOuterMan
i havent finished it yet. i got to where i got the water whip and then i just stopped playing. loved 1. 2 was too short. went to PC gaming
Somnom
Never finished it. They said I didn't have a choice but to give up the baby. It's been 5 years and I still haven't.
ExpendableTestPilot
ok , now go for system shock and ss2
Anonwuzhere
Man that game went through so many revisions. Still good, but I feel like we lost a lot of cool concepts due to time restrictions
klean9
I haven’t finished the first one yet...BUT I’M WORKING ON IT
Diaphoni
my copy crashes every other time I save it so it's still unfinished for me too
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
would you kindly get back to it? I'd be curious to know your reactions.
RavenousBugblatterBeast
I played Infinite first after reading the stories weren't connected. Enjoyed it immensely so I purchased the remastered versions of 1 and 2
RavenousBugblatterBeast
during a Steam sale. Looking forward to playing them soon. In the middle of Wolfenstein: The Old Blood right now.
AwesomeTeddybear
This game was a genuine mindfuck
ChrisBurgos1200
Yeah after the revolution time warp I got lost, but it was still a good game though
CoeusDarksoul
I still won't go back and play. Started the DLCs & had to stop halfway through the intros 'cause it made me (grown-ass man) cry likea bitch.
WarTortilla
Like who the fuck puts hotdogs and pineapples in safety deposit boxes?
Durango
Too bad the DLC makes absolutely 0 sense with the story of the vanilla game and just create a shittons of plotholes.
Pigdogcow
Am I the only one that thinks the ending didn't make a lick of sense? (never played the expansions, so maybe they explained things?)
flikrdoodles
The writer decided to write about quantum mechanics because he didn't understand them. He didn't learn anything afterwards either.
TheShadowsLengthen
Meh, I didn't like the story much. The "alternate reality" part that a lot enjoyed seemed forced to me. Not necessarily complex, either.
BobotheButtClown
My problem with it (though I did greatly enjoy the game and the story) is the idea that they left so many realities behind. All the things
BobotheButtClown
They did and deals they made and people they spoke to may as well have vanished into thin air, making all actions before a reality jump
BobotheButtClown
absolutely worthless. 3/3
WeldondDowd
My favorite was when the twins have a tally of how many times they pulled Booker from the timeline
HowlingBark
Oh is that what it meant, i never really looked into a lot of the details. should go back and replay it.
WeldondDowd
Just gave you a sense of scope and futility of it all
BestRivenSupport
I loved how i got the game pre-owned. Beat it in 17 hours and returned it for a full refund the very next day. Great game too

If you look at the water during that scene, it's full or corpse like faces.

He doesn't row
ThePinkReaper
He doesn't ROW?
Mack1986
I thought they weren't twins. But literally the same person from different universes. One happened to be female
RaynebowDeathtrap
Yes
triscuit3000
correct
myusernamebringsalltheboystotheyardandtheyrelikeitstoodamnlong
*one happened to be male. The woman was the one who invented the dimension splitting tech and found her alternate sef
Mizopoad
But what else is he going to call them? When he said twins everyone who played the game knew exactly who he meant, including you.
TheCobb1
Aren’t they even referred to as twins until their reveal?
iLovDogs
+1 for a fair point.
IhavenoanusandImustpoop
Yep, the details elude me now. But I believe he was looking for a companion just as smart at one point. Then decided that a parallel 1/2
IhavenoanusandImustpoop
universe him would be the best companion.
suchmanywatermelons
Other way around. Rosaline the female wanted to bring her male self Robert onto her side of the void.
LivingCactus
Didn't know bots could comprehend a game's storyline, let alone have it's mind blown by it.
kurtist04
This time last year = look at the user name
LivingCactus
That's the joke.
matchstickmetropolis
He said not sarcastically
WaneTendo
does IMGUR auto-insert that "originally posted by..." now to identify bots?
CyborgScribe
The bot is just polite.
LivingCactus
No, that's in the bots code.
MicentennialBan
This was my post... Weird
LivingCactus
Also, BioShock 1 is better than any of the following games storyline/twist wise.
Sinjai
Bioshock 1's twist had my jaw on the floor. One of the greatest gaming experiences I've ever had.
LivingCactus
Yeah, I honestly haven't been surprised in games or movies since BioShock. Infinite I was like, "bet I'm that guy... What do you know."
BavarianGuy
Sorry you missed the rest, Infinite is only on the surface about booker
Frozenturkey
Have you played the DLC for infinite? The final burial at sea was absolutely amazing
LivingCactus
No, I would never buy dlc for a game if I didn't enjoy the game. Y'all making it sound great, but still that's gonna be a no from me.
Frozenturkey
This is just a personal preference, but the story in that DLC topped bioshock 1 & infinite IMO
LivingCactus
Yeah I've been reading a lot of the comments in this post and most seem like they enjoyed it.
grandmask20
LivingCactus
I'm everywhere!
grandmask20
thesolamnus
Yep. The whole you were the bad guy the whole time felt cheap in Infinite.
BavarianGuy
If that's the only thing you took from infinite I feel genuinely sorry for you, because you missed so much.
myusernamebringsalltheboystotheyardandtheyrelikeitstoodamnlong
thesolamnus
Its a cheap twist and it all falls completely flat. If you want to tell a profound story dont give it a shit shock value ending.
BavarianGuy
So you didn't play the addons?
hondzik
Setting of this game is a lot of fun. But damn it has zero replayable value (at least to me)
MrKielbasa
I disagree I went back and relayed it at least several times
NeynasGhost
I enjoyed replaying it when I upgraded to a PS4, and sometimes I just miss Rapture and Columbia, so I play a little then.
MyFrontPorchInMississippi
I disagree
aptatlas
I agree. Beat it once and haven’t touched it since.
Mopey
Saaaame. I've been getting the itch though.
KingKrown
I Unlocked all achievements...and that's it sadly.
mynameisfatmike
I felt the same way, didn't touch it after I beat it at launch...but it's been long enough I'm starting to feel that longing to play again.
TheOnlyOriginalScreenNameLeft
Agree. After it was over I decided I didn’t want to be jerked around again ever.
randomman2456
If the story confused you, then I could see why.
zaetayo
I played it on release but I can't remember a damn thing about the story. Probably time to play it a gain.
xj4low
Good story. Levels are too linear compared to 1st Bioshock for me.
Steed
I smashed this game in one sitting while horribly hungover, 8 hours. Doubt I'll ever play it again.
MrAgnosticman
I played it on the 360, so if I get on sale for steam I'll play it again.
plainoldfool
I remember playing for the first time, in the beginning thinking the setting was really cool but also thinking "why are there only white (1)
plainoldfool
people here"...
DaggothSeitar
Indeed, played it once like it well enough, later started new runs but there's no motivation when the gameplay is so meh.
bog015
Forgot the story. Now I wanna play again....
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
it had a little, because depending on your items you could play differently. that system wasn't NEARLY deep enough to justify more than 2>
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
>playthroughs, really. And even then...
Fu3G0
Play it a year later, you'll definitely enjoy it then.
Passthesentence
I played it on 1999 mode after I finished my first run, but that was it lol. It's one of those stories that stays with you though
Flopdong
Tbh, the story has stuck with me only because I thought the twist was super lame
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
I never finished the game. "1999 mode"?
Durango
While it can be enjoyable, replaying it made me realize the shooting/gameplay part is pretty mediocre for a FPS. When you're not carried as
Geoffron
Hate how harder difficulties just makes every enemy a bullet sponge. Makes the game so slow, but playing on lower diffs is just trivial.
Durango
much as the story as the first time, it's pretty dull. I'm also still piss about the tons a feature removed from previous games
Puch0nMyChest
I've played it 3x including 1999 mode. First run through I barely used vigors what a fool I was
PiGiSpi
haha, same. I remember thinking it didn't have as satisfying gameplay, but I was just playing strangely my first time
KingOfFights
I don't like how they encourage you to mix your vigors for more powerful attacks but you end up spending half the gam in vigor select screen
hal9000xp
No. I played it 3 years later and was entertained
Rips4w
Too bad he didnt point out that it was his own personal opinion...
hal9000xp
Too bad
