    better gameplay than the original new storyline which is fucking epic better graphics awesome fun MP that reminds me of good old Timesplitters for some reason and a great DLC in the shape of MD ....however great the DLC is though, I don't understand why the GB crew keep pissing on the Bioshock main storyline, I say you should all turn off your stupid-ass smart phones, shut the curtains, and play through the Bioshock 2 campaign again, because it's fucking amazing.

    This reminds me I got Minerva's Den a while back while it was on sale... Problem is I don't have Bioshock 2. Will have to rent it and finally play the DLC.

    Got BS2 on PC when it went on sale last year, but haven't completed it yet. Should be able to complete it shortly after Minerva's Den is released so I can have that contrast between the main game and the DLC.

    @McGhee_the_Insomniac: But wouldn't you love to hear Patrick and Brad hash it out from diametrically opposing viewpoints? ;)

    My only quibble with Minerva's Den is why am I supposed to believe a computer was really controlling the things I had to Pipedream-hack in Bioshock 1? They set me up with a purely mechanical & biochemical world and then "yo man, CIRCUITS". I dunno...

    I think Posts like these are great. (though to be honest I not reading the whole thing right now).
    Just wanted to say that I think  we are at the point were Giant Bomb would benefit from little "news", "Reviews", and "opinion" or "editorial" Tags on their front page posts.
    Seems like an appropriate evolution for the site, especially since Patrick and others are bringing such cool new varied content.

    I really like my BioShock 2 Special Edition, picked it up dirt cheap a while ago, love rinsing out the vinyl copy of the original game's soundtrack!

    I feel like I'm the only person who honestly really liked BioShock 2. I had no issues with the little sister defense parts, I actually found it quite fun to use the environment and lay traps for the waves of splicers that were to come. But hey, to each their own.

    Wow, Bioshock 2 really is just $10. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

    I guess I'm willing to invest $20 into checking out Minerva and getting Bioshock again, I sold it for like $20 or something so I figure I still come out ahead.

    You are not the only one. I really liked Bioshock 2. Specially certain part that has to do with watching everything from the perspective of  a little girl. I found myself emotionally attached to it in a way that the first never grabbed me.

    By christ. Fucking finally.

     

    I liked Bioshock 2. I still haven't really finished it, but I could appreciate what they were doing and didn't really begrudge them the slight case of sequelitis. After hearing Brad's impassioned rant about Minerva's Den during the GOTY debate, I've been itching to play it on PC.

     

    So, yeah. About fucking time.

    Meh, Jeff spoiling the twist in the deliberations podcasts severly limited the impact it had on me when I finally played through it, and as a game it was more Bioshock 2 which I had mostly had my fill of at that point.
    The part where

    Edit:ops forgot the spoiler tag.
    Still it was fun enough, as was the story in Bioshock 2, but I'm looking forward to seeing a different take on it in Infinite.

    Just bought Bioshock 2 for Xbox used from Amazon for $12 because this article reminded me that I wanted to at least play Minerva's Den.


    Thanks!

    @nail1080: Bioshock 2 rules. 
     
    But re: the Minerva's Den DLC....Anyone else get boned by Games for Windows when trying to download this? It gives me a programmer level error message and nothing more. The transition of GfW to Xbox.com may be the root cause but it's been weeks since that started and it still won't give me the DLC I paid for.
