Bioshock didn't need multiplayer, the way the game was set us was that multiplayer wouldn't be possible. **** you 2K you ****ing sell-outs, thanks a lot for making the singleplayer suffer and including a ****ing multiplayer just to increase the game's sales. It's not like it needs it either, Bioshock 1 sold 3 million without any kind of multiplayer and Bioshock 2 will and would easily sell twice as much without multiplayer anyway. Now, we're going to get an inferior singleplayer just so that people can shoot each others faces off and scream at each other. Yeah, that's EXACTLY what Bioshock is all about. :roll:
I knew it was too much to ask for when I wished for another great singleplayer game like Bioshock 1. I guess Bioshock 1 is just going to stay a unique singleplayer classic in my mind and Bioshock 2 is going to be ignored. :(
Unless of course 2K Marin redeem themselves in some spectacular way this franchise has gone down the toilet in my eyes. :wink: Totally agree, any kind of multiplayer is just gonna drag the single player down, Bioshock doesnt need any kind of multiplay co-op or competetive its just gonna screw the whole game over.
Here's hoping they come to their senses and take MP out before release, but i doubt it. same thing happened with resi 5 and that suffered majorly. This is just the suits wanting to cash in, absolutely ridiculous! bring levine back! Yeah, Capcom totaly ****ed up with Resident Evil 5, I doubt 2K Marin will mess up that bad, I mean they do have the "Fort Frolic" guy in charge of the project and there's not going to be any co-op to mess with the singleplayer. We'll just have to wait and see, the only thing that's true is that it's not going to be anywhere near Bioshock 1 quality. follow this link to check scans of the pages from that issue from Informer, i think its gonna be sweet, jus click on the pics to enlarge them to read...
http://helldescent.com/bioshock-2-details/ Sweet, thanks man. pretty tough thing to make 1 of my favourite games ever then follow it up with a highly probable piece of crap sequel. I was expected a prequel increasing raptre's back story but instead ur gonna play as a kind of big daddy 10 years after the 1st 1. how the story is going to fit (and the story was the best part of the game) with tht i have no idea. I hope to death im wrong abt this (also mp is needless and will prob hamper the experience on top of tht) but for now i'll stay very far away from anything bioshock 2. bioshock is a game i missed til today, still not played it but i traded in a recent average shooter for this and mass effect (loved it so much the first time round i decided i wanted to do it again as the biggest C*nt in the universe lol) and uncharted..... 3 apparently top games(i know mass effect is awesome already) for the trade price of a recent average shooter (okay i paid another tenner on top of the 25 i was given for the game i traded in but was completely worth it), what a scoop!!!drakes was one of the games i got today and im loving it so far.... not played bioshock yet though but by all acounts its amazing, havent seen one person on here (who's opinion counts) who has said otherwise... Ok, I've read the preview and it has me pretty much convinced that Bioshock 2 is going to be awesome. I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but yeah, it looks like Jordan Thomas and crew know exactly what they're doing. Except for the multiplayer, they still need toget rid of that crap.
Hmm... looks like I was wrong, gonna be frickin' sweet. Maybe if the singleplayer is as strong as it seems and then with the added multiplayer, Bioshock 2 will get even better scores than Bioshock 1. Now THAT would be SOMETHING! Drakes is a fantastic game I have played through it 3 times so far. I agree with you on that this doesn't need a multiplayer. Bioshock was all about being alone and wandering around and being attacked by nutters. I don't think I'd even want a co-op mode (not read the preview) and if there was one, I wouldn't bother with it. The same applies to Metroid Prime and its good that they removed it from the third game..
I will remain hopefull that the main game will be just as good - if not better - than the original. But one thing's for sure, this generation of gaming is actually pushing me further away from gaming. I don't think I'm gonna bother with the next round. Maybe cos I'm growing up but I think its more to do with the fact that they're just not making games like they used to... That preview article the poster above linked to was good from what I read and saw.
Wasn't too keen on the fact the little sisters have been remodelled to look less 'monstrous' and I'm still concerned with the whole 'playing as the 1st Big Daddy' thing, although it could prove interesting. A shame you're not back as the game's first character, for continuity's sake.
Multi-platform release is worrying, always screams to me 'poor PC port'. Mind you, the first game had a console vibe to it and was brilliant. Apart from the crap end section.
Multiplayer should be binned, agreed. That's not necessarily true. Take CoD4 for example, it has both a great single player and excellent multiplayer. The single player suffers maybe in the sense that it becomes shorter than it could of been.
That or it could end up something like Sonic Adventure 2 Battle where the single player is great but the multiplayer sucks so hardly anyone will play it anyway :lol:
Either way I'm not trying to defend the game (I personally think it sounds rubbish so far too) but I'm giving it a chance until there's more concrete details i.e. screenshots/videos/previews/reviews because it could still end up being better than it sounds :wink: Check out the link above, looks promising... No co-op... I'll buy me a second-hand copy once all the fanboys have played through it, twice, and sell it. Or will be cheaper just to rent!? Yeah, sure does after reading the preview, if they can just get a really good story around all great (in my "new" opinion) ideas, I think they're set and Bioshock 2 will be brilliant. :D
We should be happy that it looks better than the disaster that is Resident Evil 5... :roll: Bioshock 2 does not need multiplayer.End of Are you not better off waiting until you at least hear about some of the details before throwing the tantrum? No!!!! |
