Guest awkwardsilence Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Ending thoughts (Spoilers, duh) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Was it just me, or was the ending totally underwhelming? I'm feeling a little empty now.Still, I'm sure I'll remember this as one of the classics. I guess I'm just a little bit disappointed that all this background complexity and rich world-building in the end got down to just the one supervillain style final boss that double crossed you all the way through. Yep, it totally took the edge off.. All these layers of complexity, and it turned out it was just a fucking onion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest awkwardsilence Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 It's funny how I'm sort of pissed off about the game, but still want to start playing it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blicero Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 i didn't like how weak the good vs. evil bit was. there wasn't really much of a difference. who cares which minute long cg movie you get to see? the final boss was kinda silly and out of character for the rest of the game. and was also super easy.

pcock Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 yeah i finshed fontaine on hard without using any first aid, all you had to do was circle round him and fire grenades into him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hideous Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 It might have been a better final fight if you had to go up against a bunch of Big Daddies without vita chambers. Also it would have been more dramatic if they actually turned you into a Big Daddy monstrosity, and not just a guy dressed up as one. That would have provided some serious pathos.

Rubin Farr Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 probably the best lighting and sound design i've ever seen in a console game. did anyone else notice Andrew Ryan is almost an anagram for Ayn Rand? after all, the game was basically based on her book Atlas Shrugged.

I just tried the demo on my brand new (vista) laptop, and yeah it sat on a black screen for a REALLY LONG time but it DID start eventually. Definitely started faster on my 5 year old XP desktop. Not sure if its the slower drive on the notebook or Vista or what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i dint start trying to time it till i'd already gone "fuck this is taking a long time", so maybe 15 mins all up? Maybe even more? It ran ok once it started but I was hoping for more AA (it doesnt let you control that for some reason) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EDGEY Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Finally got around to finishing this last night... Then for curiosity sake, started a new game, and the first line I hear: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Atlas: Would you kindly...find a crowbar or something?

Braintree Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 It's a pretty good game. I got about half way through and said fuck it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest catsonearth Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 yea, i played it through a second time a few weeks ago. still holds up! i'm probably going to play it again someday since i still need to play a game where i harvest all the little sisters. the first time i played, i killed the first one and saved the rest, so i didn't get the achievement for saving them all. got that the second time around. next i'm going to play on hard and kill all the bitches. yes, i'm a dork. thanks.

Guest catsonearth Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 ah its okay.. coz i been playing cod so much nothing really compared imo. yea, cod4 is a monster of a game, but bioshock has some good shit too. much more open in terms of how you can do things. try setting traps for splicers or big daddies. you can do a lot of things really strategically if you want to. unfortunately, in the heat of the moment i usually forget and just end up slaughtering the whole room with a shotgun.

Guest olson Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 yeah i played it and didn't really get all the hype. i mean it looks/sounds great but the combat for me was pretty underwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Moss Acid Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 one thing i dont liek is the guns...very cartoonish.. though im not shure wether or not tis ment to be liek that... everything else is fucking lush though.. even on a non-HD tv the graphics are immense. i like the hacking mini pipe games reminds me of dr.mario.

Guest taxman Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 i got fed up with it. by the end i was running around with no money, no ammo, no health, and no blue stuff. the only way i got more was by getting myself killed and using the little extra they start you out with... then i had to freeze everything and hit it with the wrench to smash it and kill it. i would start over on an easier setting but i was almost finished anyway and i didn't want to play it all over again.
