Venture into the mysterious, Utopian underwater city of Rapture and discover what has turned it into ruin in this first-person epic.
Just wondering, when was the last time you played Bioshock?
Remember playing it two or three times the year after it came out
I waited a year to get it because everything that i saw regarding that game made me think it was survival horror-esque and that i would be constantly freaked out. Clearly wasn't the case. Glad i bit the bullet cuz it's a great game
Played bioshock 2 twice to get a different ending and youtubed the other and never felt the urge to pick it up ever again. Something about 2 just didn't captivate me
Probably a couple years ago and it was still great. Electro bolt + shotgun/wrench is pretty much all you need.
I just finished up 2 and thought it was actually really damn good. Don't understand all the hate that game gets. Sure, it wouldn't top the te first, but it played helluv better and I found the story to be solid.
I play it almost every year in January. It's one of my favorite games, not that long, and normally not a lot of good stuff comes out in January.
I played it through about 3 times so far (all within the first year it came out) but now whenever I play it I get to about Arcadia and stop. Its a nice looking map, but I hate that Arcadia is two whole levels while my favorite (Fort Frolic) is really short.
I really like the indoor docks though, because its really weird seeing an underwater indoor fishery. I really like it.
I've played Bioshock 1 semiannually since the day it came out. I plan on getting the hardest difficulty + no vita chamber achievement one day, but I always get burned out after the plot twist and never finish and end up restarting everytime.
I think it was in 2007, but it could have been early 2008. Anyway, as much as I liked the game, I don't think I'm ever going to play it again...
@joshthebear: Yeah, I really liked the second as well. I think the first is a classic, or at least that's how I view it, and the second just isn't, but it's still superb. I've only beaten it once though, I always stop around a certain area for some reason. I wish I got it on 360, I'd play it more probably, but I got it on PS3, which if it's the same case as the first, the 360 version is slightly better.
I didn't get around to playing Bioshock until early 2011. I've had it on Steam since like 2008 (it was one of the first games I bought), but kept putting off playing it.
Despite playing it several years after the fact, I thought it held up completely fine and I really enjoyed it. It still looks good, and it's interesting to see it implement singleplayer perks a few months ahead of the time that Call of Duty 4 was coming out with multiplayer perks. It's also weird to think that Bioshock was probably one of the last major shooters to come out before CoD 4 made aim-down-sight pretty much a mandatory inclusion.
awhile and the 2nd was okay but just didnt make me feel like i should replay it
hopefully infinity makes me want to go back
Just beat it for the first time an hour ago! Had it spoiled for me years ago, but it still feels good to finally get it out of the way.
I remember getting it launch day and beating it a day or 2 later. Don't think I have played it since.
I played Bioshock 2 when it first came out and I only played the first Bioshock at the end of last year. I really enjoyed it and regret not playing it before it's sequel.
Played them both recently. Used cheats to just mess around and use all the plasmids.
Still only beat Bioshock 2 once. Its not bad, but I burned out on the first Bioshock I think
Played it when it came out, haven't played it since, though I have been thinking about playing it again a few times.
Two years ago I made an "evil" playthrough (the third overall), only to realize that it doesn't make much difference. But I still found hidden items. They put stuff in every nook and cranny. But I am pretty much done with this game now.
I played and finished BioShock 2 earlier this year.
I played the original BioShock last year but ended up dropping it about 1/3 of the way through. I think I had it through GameFly at the time and got bored with it.
Last time I played the original was after they put out the DLC. I watched someone play through the start of it a couple of years ago on the PC. And the last time I played Bioshock 2 was sometime early last year I think, I'm reminded every single day I own that game because of its huge damn special edition I have no place to put.
I was actually just pulling some old games out to re-play and chose Condemned 2 and Mirror's Edge instead of Bioshock...but seeing Bioshock did remind me about Minerva's Den so I picked up 2 just to play Minerva's Den. I don't plan to revisit the original or ever play through 2...but I'll probably pick up Infinite...someday.
Bioshock was a gem, and is a classic...but it's not the rare game that will pull me in for a second play through, even if I last played it 5 years ago.
I think 2010, but maybe it was much earlier than that.
I'm pretty prone to motion sickness and especially Bioshock 1 was killing me with it. I think Bioshock 2 was problematic as well. Same for Dead Space 1/2 and Mirror's Edge (which at least had a slightly adjustable FoV).
Maybe I should play Bioshock 2 again with higher FoV. I did like the combat quite a bit.
It been it almost two years since I last played Bioshock. The thing is that I don't revere the game as much as others do but I had a good time with it. I would go back but I had to delete the install data because it was taking too much space on the hard drive. I never played Two because I heard it was a bad game aside from the DLC. I'm on the fence about buying Bioshock Infinite but I will give it a chance.
Playing catch up on a bunch of games and Bioshock was next in line.
One of my favourite games ever....... Until the last 10 minutes.
According to my achievements I beat the game exactly two weeks ago today.
Sometime this year, I played a good bit of it in an attempt to beat it on Hard with Vita chambers off. I got a few hours in but I had to put it down for a while for some reason and never picked it back up.
Despite my complaints with the game (It ain't perfect, I hate the camera and the constant "go fetch this" goals), I still think it's pretty damn good.
I've never played the first game :( wish I had BUT I have the second one! lol last time I played it was... sometimes this year lol I do plan on getting Bioshock infinite when it comes out! ^_^

Well you shouldn't have listened, 'cause Bioshock 2 is a superb game, or at least a really great one. The DLC is fine as well.
