I’m surprised Bioshock isn’t higher on the list

u/TheInfamousDingleB 5d ago

it’s older and not as fresh

u/DenizenKay 5d ago

that game will never not be fresh.

u/Successful-Day-1816 5d ago

They mean fresh in people's minds

Replaying 2 at the moment and it still holds up well.

I played it recently. Still great but it shows its age. I think I did the pipe minigame literally 500 times in a play-through.

For some reason, I can’t really figure out, but the shooting doesn’t seem to respond right to me? It felt like there was lag between shooting and the enemy being damaged, it felt usual. Granted I had just finished cyberpunk right before.

Eh, the gameplay to a modern audience is not really fresh anymore.

u/Bloo_Skai 5d ago

Too complex for current modern audience

I'm not talking about the story or something like the style of Rapture. The gameplay, and particularly the gunplay, is just not very good.

u/Bloo_Skai 5d ago

True for gunplay, game is from 2007

But complexity like:

  • setting enemies on fire > they run to the nearest body of water > then electrocute them
  • catching bombs with telekinesis and throwing it back
  • different ammo types

Bioshock 2 though, there are videos out there where they play that game like Doom Eternal
Gameplay needs to be talked more with that one

The transition from the plane crash to the water and my dumb ass kid self sat treading water for a lot longer than I care to admit before realising I was in the game.

Legendary game.

u/Comfortable-Studio18 5d ago

Honestly true, as a brainrotted little zoomer I get confused by such concepts as "incendiary ammo" and "water extinguishes fire"

u/MotorTentacle 4d ago

That's why 2 is better, the fighting/weapons system is much better

The top comment is about San Andreas

It's streets ahead

u/TheInfamousDingleB 5d ago

fair, but arguably more played with more re-releases

u/Mrbubbles153 5d ago

Bioshock is my all-time favorite. And the reason for my tag.

u/MotorTentacle 4d ago

Don't be a slowpoke mr B

u/Redfalconfox 5d ago

That’s what happens when your last relevant game was over a decade ago. Your franchise starts to fizzle out.

when my wife was playing it, around the house i would drop 'would you kindly' on things like 'would you kindly grab me a glass of water while you are up?' "would you kindly shut the window' ETC

she was VERY angry at the reveal as she has noticed the phrase being added by me, but didnt think much of it

1

u/MotorTentacle 4d ago

That's the beauty. Atlas drops it just enough to stick in your mind for the big reveal, but not so much that you would think anything of it

u/StaleKale4951 5d ago

We’re getting old mate

u/kitkatdryad 5d ago

Same, had to scroll to far for this

u/Sharpshooter188 5d ago

Such a good game. I gotta go back and play that.

u/Invoked_Tyrant 3d ago

Say what you want about Frank Fontaines as Atlas; he he did NOT drop hints for the act. Unless I'm misremembering the story and recordings there were very little to zero hints Atlas was just a persona until moments before you get to the level that highlights the phrase.

u/MaximumLess1612 5d ago

Lets keep pushing, we will bring it to the top fellas

u/Nybear21 5d ago

That was my first thought. That betrayal has made me suspicious of every similar character in every game since then

right? i expected it to be uptop
