UNDER DA SEA!!

LTK:
Well frankly, that doesn't really spoil that much about the game's plot in particular.

LTK:
Hey, the vintage poster ads that came with the Bio 2 collector's edition have graffiti on them. How cool is that?

KvP:
Irrational released the original Bioshock design documents on its blog. The original gameplay concept was insane and much more interesting than what we got. It was basically a Cronenberg movie made into a video game. The original storyline was also insane, but not as thematically resonant.

Ozymandias:
Necro because I finally got around to starting this game.

John's right on the nose about the game basically. Lamb falls completely flat as a villain because there's just no connection between her and Rapture thematically. She is just evil and power hungry and uses religion and pshycology and collectivism as a means to an end, but this doesn't cut to the core of why any of these things can cause a society to fall except that there are potentially manipulative people. Ryan worked because, to the very end, he was a true believer in what he was saying and thematically the entire game revolved around that.

That said, I'm having fun. It's more difficult than the first game and that was a major complaint of mine regarding it. I feel like, on the fundamentals of a "game" this is better. It's just everything else about it is half-baked or straight up copied from the first so overall it's an expected disappointment.

Tom:
It's like the inverse of the first one. Really good game, mediocre story.
