HOW THE FUCK IS THIS -BIO-SHOCK?

>>378280423
because its bioshock infinite

>>378280423

>It's bioshock

I swear to god this is bait.

>>378280612
Go play with your fidget spinner, autist.

>>378280423
There's no atmosphere.

Imagine Bioshock without Rapture. Imagine System Shock without Shodan. Could those games stand alone on gameplay? Would you say that was the most memorable quality of these games?

Everything is brightly lit to eliminate any kind of suspense, they reuse the same desiccated corpse asset every two feet, and the other bodies just lie around like mannequin-shaped loot boxes. Enemies are literally faceless blobs without any kind of menace or character. Any kind of solitary tension is broken by a clear voiced speaker announcing Talos 1 to evacuate or whatever. There's no unique identity or character to the setting and that makes it bland as fuck.

Oh but hey there's a wrench and some shitty powers guess this is Bioshock.

No idea. The original Prey was an absolute mess with atrocious dialogue/story and shameless design-element ripoffs that were executed extremely poorly. Didn't handle well, had a pathetically-weak ending, and didn't hold a candle to other first-person-shooter installments that came out in that time-period.

Congrats on the dumbest post I read today.

>>378281321
Dead serious. Sick of people saying "its not like the original Prey" like what the fuck are you people saying

You literally answered your own question.

>>378281492
alright fair enough.
also
>shameless design-element ripoffs
Care to share some?

>>378281492
And also, the only commonality between Prey and Bioshock is that you have a wrench so people can fuck right off with that argument too,

>>378281603
Early Quake games and Halo immediately sprang to mind.

>>378281769
I'm sorry if I don't catch on could you maybe elaborate?

>>378281237
Never played anything more than the demo, but I thought the portal/spacial warping was cool. I thought that was kind of cool and was disappointed when the new one didn't really have it at all.

>>378280423

Are you confusing Half life with Bioshock? The fucking protagonist has a wrench instead of crowbar and is named Gordon...

How old are you?

Lastly do you bait often?

>>378281836
In the original Prey you basically cleave through Stroggs with Halo guns on a Halo x Quake 2 themed spaceship.

It's bland as fuck

>>378280718

Go play Half life, get back to us or just fucking google it and tube it.

>>378281603

Was wondering the same thing, I can even think of a game where gravity shift is a main part of it. Except that gravity game on iphone.

>Why does /v/ hate it? Its Trash

I really enjoyed it, but I'm glad I didn't pay 100 aussiefunbucks for it. I would pay 40, tops.

>>378280423
I think naming is "Prey" is just annoying. Had it been it's own IP and sold as a spiritual successor to System Shock, then things would have been alright.

>>378280423
Pretty good System Shock 2.5, but they dumbed it down before release. Preview builds had hardcore survival mode shit and they put in too much ammo/resources/upgrades.

Bioshock is shit though.

>>378280423
/v/ hates games because they ruined their life

>>378282876
It was $60 at Big dubs, I kinda like the game but only play single players when ppl are watching netflix n shit.

>>378281178
Bioshock had fine gameplay, but I agree about the lack of atmosphere

>>378281178
>System Shock without Shodan. Could those games stand alone on gameplay?

yes?

>>378280423
>Why does /v/ hate it?
Only the contrarian, post-ironic shitposters do. We had a really good thread yesterday where the trolls grew bored after 50 posts or so and there was actually a good discussion on the story and gameplay.
Turns out people who actually play games and don't spend all day on /v/ shitposting actually liked it, for the most part.

The main issues are the difficulty-dip during the mid-game and the lackluster pacing during the end. Especially the constant load-screens as you either arm the self-destruct or place the Nullwave-transmitter.

>>378283296
here is a (you) my good man

>>378280423
The station was well realized. Felt lived in. Exploring it was a treat.

Combat was meh, and I didn't care for the ending. Or at least, the one I got. I'm assuming there are more? If so, are they drastically different from one another?

>>378283296
The main issues is it does nothing well

At all.

>>378283296
This. The loading screens between areas were a nightmare towards the end, and the combat ended up piss easy, even with strictly human neuromods.

Are the endings super different? I'm interested enough to do a Typhon run and try the boom boom method, but not if the payout isn't good

>>378280423
Bioshock was flawed as fuck.

I'm indifferent towards it. The footage I've watched just isn't that great to watch, and there's no demo. I don't see the reason for me to jump in. I'm busy with many other games anyway.

>>378283485
What's your point?

>>378283676
Can you elaborate? The multitude of approaches and commitment to actual RPG-mechanics does seem like something they definitely did right.

>>378283706
Installing Typhon mods or not only changes one line of dialogue during the ending and appearently some dialogue during the brief flashes.

>>378284072
Fucking sweet. Skimped on cool gameplay for nothing. Feels really good desu

>>378284315
To be fair, it wasn't really relevant. All that really matters was how you interacted with people and what choices you made.
I'll admit that being 'good' was too easy and the only reason to be 'evil' is to see all the content, but the game really was all about evaluating your empathy. In-game it's about having empathy towards Humans, meta-wise it's about empathizing with simple NPCs.
Like Undertale, it's kind of the question: 'Do you immerse yourself emotionally or just treat it as a game?'

Because you can sneak up to an enemy and sneak attack them for triple damage with a fully upgraded shotgun which pretty much defeats every enemy in the game without any effort. And there's lots of ammo for the shotgun

Are we getting a sequel?

>>378284678
Yeah, definitely leaned towards the former. Some of the stuff was gut-wrenching. I got the 'good' ending, but it didn't feel very good. Just finished it 20 minutes ago, actually. Still a bit confused about exactly what was going on, but I see what they were aiming for.

I did fall in love with the crew; each member was an individual, and the world gave them character. The baseballs, bases, pizza, and beers in the Arboretum are what hooked me. Almost like a snapshot of their lives before. That got me invested in saving as many people as possible

>>378285158
That requires you to max out several mods, not to mention finding all the upgrade kits. All the while not spending any points on other, relevant skills.

>>378285247
I doubt. But in the event we do, it would be cool if we can play as a phantom similar to how in Bioshock 2 you were a Big Daddy.

After all, you were actually a typhon-human hybrid as shown in the end.

>>378285247
Depends, but since Dishonored got a decent one, chances are pretty good.
It probably won't be on Earth though, since it'd change the gameplay and setting too much. Maybe one of the Lunar colonies or the Argus station. Maybe you'll play as one of the newly-created Typhon hybrids.

How does one kill a Nightmare?

Mate, it's been close to 3 weeks since the game came out, what are you talking about? And the line was spoilered for a reason, 'ya know? Unless you have spoilers disabled or something.

>>378285656
Shotgun and combat focus. Nightmare isn't shit once you have those two upgraded

>>378285656
You can move into a crawl-space and attack it from there. Doors aren't enough since it can squeeze through. Kite it by jumping off stairs etc.
Ultimately, Nightmares don't have a lot of health, they just do a ton of damage.

They're also probably glitches in the simulation. Your Typhon nature trying to fight the effort to integrate the human neurons.

>>378285247
Nah, Prey 2 got cancelled.
