Quick Look: BioShock 2: Minerva's Den

This DLC was better then Bioshock 2

Yup, Bioshock 2 still seems like a really bad idea.

I'm not sure I would want to buy a retail priced game only to find out people are saying the DLC is better than the main story. Not only would I feel as though I need to shell more $$$ for the better story, but would look at the disc and think "What are you filled with, then?"

Strange this still hasn't been released for PC, despite coming out on the other platforms. I'd definitely be interested to play it, despite my mixed feelings towards BioShock 2.

Why so much Brad hate? Of course he is not going to search every nook and cranny in a Quick Look.

Brad could not sound less interested

" watching brad play sends me crazy sometimes... "

While I love and respect Brad, it's gotten to the point where I can no longer watch the QLs played by him. It's just too frustrating.

Lots of unwarranted hating on Bioshock 2 in the comments, it seems. Though it didn't have the impact of the first one, it was  a well made game that was quite fun and had a pretty interesting story. Gameplay wise, it was signifigantly better than Bioshock 1. This DLC looks pretty interesting, I might pick it up if it comes to PC.

BioShock 2 was awesome and so was Minerva's Den. The DLC is well worth the price.

To the interested: this DLC is easily 5-6 hours long and one of the best DLC's I've ever played for anything. I wrote a review here:

Yay! I love quick looks. It's been a while.

Haters gonna hate, BioShock 2 was awesome

Durr, guys, don't hate on Brad for not playing through the DLC for you. Big deal, he didn't follow the arrow. Hell, I usually don't go straight for in-game pointers too.

So, Steam version?

Brad-haters lighten up. It's a quick-look, not a play through. It's also fun when things go wrong, banter ensues. Welcome to Giantbomb and Whiskey Media in general.

lol the enthusiasm in this QL is astounding 

you...can...pick...the..spears...up.....again...
 
facepalm.

I loved Bioshock 2. Sofia Lamb, the ultra-socialists, so much so that she's attempting to use ADAM to supress individual conscienceness, is the political polar opposite of Andrew Ryan, and yet in Rapture the end result is the same. Big improvements in the gameplay from the first Bioshock as well. 
 
This looks great. Sign me up.

Jeez lay off the Shoemaker.  WTF is the deal with the haters? 
 
Speaking of hating, the voice and even pacing of the 'voice over the coms' sounds an awful lot like the guy from the first Red Faction game.  Even down to the "sorry I couldn't be there to meet you in person" bit. 

Brad is awesome. I love hearing his views and opinions on the bombcast. But having said that there is always a quicklook every now and then where it's just like, how do you miss that? It's not about 'hating' on Brad. It's that he doesn't pay attention while playing, or at least during quicklooks. I understand that given the nature of quicklooks one cannot search every nook and cranny for some obscure item or what-have-you, but I mean...there are things and then there are things.  That said, he's still awesome and should definitely keep doing quicklooks.
 
Oh well. I still support you brad! Keep on keepin' on.

Brad and Jeff sound half asleep.

The last thing I wanted when I beat the original BioShock was more BioShock. I was totally done with that game and universe forever. Guess that's why I haven't played 2, and this DLC isn't for me at all.

Any word on when this is coming to PC?

Why... why is his hand rippling like that?

The math around 1:35 looks to be someone writing a fake probability equation. The actual math their doesn't seem meaningful or correct but it's designed to look like probability equations.  

Brad, you're a silly person.

Having played to the end of the first Bioshock and never playing Bioshock 2, I think this DLC pack looks awesome.  Very reminiscent of the first game.   
 
You almost can't tell it's another dev house, which almost never happens when a sequel is handed off to another team.

Doesn't surprise me that this didn't come out for PC, 2K Marin seems to hate all their PC customers and treat them like garbage.

you make it sound like DLC is automatically not as good as a retail game while also implying that BioShock 2 is therefore terribly bad. Both are not true. I just finished BS2 on sunday and absolutely loved it! "

Steve Blum strikes again (Reed Wahl)! That guy is busy this year.

ion laser sounds more impressive than it looks.

Brad QL must not look at Brad hate comments for next 30 minutes. Must resist! 
 
Well anyway I understand its a QL and obviously they want to show as much of a game as possible in the 30 minutes or so given but man oh man. I did the same for Bioshock 1 and 2. Packrat. By the end of the game in both I piled up ridiculous amounts of ammo and health kits and adam which let me breeze through the final parts like a master. I just want to search every single corner for more goodies. It kind of pains me to see Brad not exploring desks and under stuff but eh I'll get over it.
