Bioshock

Mod is an Atlas sympathizer for sure.

I dunno. It was great. Thanks to the person who linked that Something in the Sea archive. God, it's funny how much I remember.

Same. I just pulled up Day 1 and was reminiscing when the thread got delet

could an arg like this be made again?
i hope the next bioshock will have this, and not be like Infinite who was more an action fps than a bioshock, focusing too much on Elizabeth and less on the world. (Eleanor > Elizabeth.)

Anons I'm thinking in replaying Bioshock 1 and 2, which of the versions is better, the OG one of the remaster. I'm playing on PC.

All Liz did was give me health and ammo and pre-scripted cover spawns. She didn't slice fools open to save her daddy like Eleanor did.

Bioshock 1 : remaster
Bioshock 2 : OG, it also have the multiplayer...if any user want to play...
Kinda funny how better as a character and fighter Eleanor is, when she's like only 15-16 years old.

OG versions. Remaster comes with the DLC for 2 which is great but it also comes with Infinite and its DLCs which aren't as good.

Owner of BS1 and BS2 got the two remasters for free on PC.
i even got Minerva's den on PC for free when i didn't bought it for the OG BS2.

No idea about 2, but 1 Remaster is a mixed bag. It has a lot of graphical problems for some, like missing skyboxes (seaboxes?)
Another user in the last thread pointed out that the wet sheen on things was gone too, which was a major appeal in the look of things.
However, the remaster fixes the Peach Wilkins Inventory Reset Bug™ and is almost worth playing for that desu. Gameplay-wise it's generally fine.

Is the BioShock 2 multiplayer still up? I assumed they would have shut that down by now

Eleanor has a hidden layer of psychosis due to having a fucked up childhood. Liz also had a fucked up childhood but she acts like the dumbest story book princess ever.

I think it's still up on PC, actually, i'm going to try.
i don't have my old account but the game is fun regardless

I mean technically speaking the right side pic is what you would more realistically see of an underwater city.

That said though I played the remaster and didn't notice any of these problems?

OG, the remasters are outright broken.

OH SHIT ARE WE GONNA PLAY BIOCOCK 2 MULTI?

Eleanor is also a genetic freak, while liz was just kept in a literal tower thing so she probs couldn't even handle the recoil from a gun.

Oh yeah, Eleanor was a little sister and had to be experimented on to be able to support the consciousness of thousands of people being forcibly merged with her own

Just my opinion but I liked the remasters, there's some issues yeah, but I preferred the redone atmosphere, in the remaster they went and added a lot of details which fleshes out the environment more IMO

Oh snap! 2K Boston needs some fresh ideas for the next Bioshock game, and you're the new guy. What do you come up with to 'wow' your colleagues?

Semi sequel to infinite, taking place in Columbia, but decades after the events of the first game. The city has over time sunken to cloud level causing it to be completely engulfed in thick dark fog creating an atmosphere more similar to Bioshock 1 and 2. Also keep the story closer to Bioshock 1, and have it about a guy who stumbles apon the city and slowly discovers it's secrets and what happened between Comstocks death and now to cause the city to be in such ruin, having been taking over by a new antagonist. Completely disassociate the plot from the first Infinite aside from maybe some audio logs from Booker and Elisabeth.
Also splicers. I hated that there weren't really splicers in Infinite even though people were still getting fucked up on Adam type drugs

Re-play of Bioshock 1, but it plays like System Shock 2. There is also a sequence in the game that takes a huge dump on Bioshock Infinite's story and makes it non-canon.

Bioshock is one of the greatest games ever made.

Yeah, Infinite was wasted on the time travelling plot.
i still had fun with the game, but less than BS1/2.

It's still one of my favorite series. probably the only western serie i could have in my top 5 with Infamous, don't bully me.

Bioshock 2 enemy concept art is pretty good.

too similar to Prey (2016)
The Museum in BS1 also had some interesting shit.

AND I SAY TO MYSELF IT'S WONDERFUL WONDERFUL, OH SO WONDERFUL MY LOVE

Are there any solid Bioshock artbooks?

I bought the collection on PS4 because I hadn't played the original in like ten years and I never bothered with 2 or Infinite. I had pretty much no fun with Infinite at all. The only part I really remember well was the museum where Comstock goes full on stolen valor because I like history so hearing his interpretation of Wounded Knee and the Boxer rebellion was neat.That and the Lutece's fucking each other because genderbent selfcest is a thinking man's fetish.

Infamous was actually a decent game and Infamous 2 is one of the strongest sequels ever made. Never bothered with the others because 2 had the perfect ending.

Infinite is underrated and honestly has the best structured narrative in the series. Fight me.

I'd still say 2 > 1 > infinite, but just because it's the black sheep doesn't mean it deserves so much hate

I mean, I said last thread but the game I'd want to play is one through the decline/civil war of Rapture, I'd like another romp through underwater art deco.

If you really needed a new thing altogether though,

>An island, possibly volcanic, also some underwater stuff
>19th century, Vernian steampunk, not the shitty modern steampunk
>Ship wrecks, and you end up on Captain Nemo's mysterious island or some Nemo-equivalent. He retreated from the world to some unmapped island in the Pacific in like the 1880s and set up his own utopia of other expatriates who are all sick of nationalities and possibly feel bad about colonialism. Incidentally however, they've become colonizers of this island and also overtime just return to their old cultures/nationalities, and it's tearing their utopia apart as they form into blocs and alliances in basically a proto-mini first world war. Aside of all this also, encroaching on the island is Not-Cthulu eldritch deity(s) which they awakened with their undersea activities, and it's distorting people and making them mad.
>Obviously you could have some fun with steam punky stuff, but again hard stress on it being the OG Jules Verne style of steampunk, not the modern shit which is just "Victorian-era plus gears". Also with the Not-Cthulu entities, you could get some abilities and people being distorted, like ADAM in Bioshock.

Second son was shit, i don't count it as an Infamous, same for First light.
it's the bioshock Infinite of the serie in term of dissapointment.
Underrated with us maybe, not with the general public who loved it...

What a steal

I need to play that still. Heard nothing but good things about it.

This is a weirdly specific question but I'm looking for an old fanmade logo for a nonexistent Bioshock sequel.

Is there a fix for bioshock 2 constantly crashing?

Power through it and abuse saves, that's what I did.

I haven't played Bioshock 2 in at least 6 years but I sure as fuck didn't remember it establishing Rapture as having been built on top of a possible genuine cosmic horror and now I'm eternally disappointed we didn't get more from that.

I think he's more confused that a Bioshock rep made it in at all. The series at the time was more closely associated with the 360 and PC.

It was in a trench on the outskirts of the city, not really “Rapture built on top of”

Could you guys link the previous thread? It sounds good, it'll still be up in the archives even if the jannies fucked it.

It was beautiful. I was at the end of the game walking in a tunnel that connected two rooms and I look down and all I see is light. I vaguely remembered something about it when I read up on Bioshock 2 when it first came out but I only played it for the first time this year. Sorta reminded me of the city lights you see underneath the Sanctuary Fortress in Metroid Prime 2.

I played Bioshock 2 numerous time before
W-what are you guys talking about?

bioshock.fandom.com/wiki/Luminescent_Biomass

How are people not aware of this? It’s literally brought up in audio diaries, let alone being blatantly obvious if you look out any window and see all the bright light despite being in a deep sea trench.

>A series of removed audio diaries by Simon Wales, titled "Before the Lamb", may suggest that the biomass could have been intended to represent the Demiurge, a theological entity said to be responsible for the creation of the universe.

the mystery is better than any explanation they could come up with

I might have skipped the audio diary, i just tought it was some cool "sea lighting" ...

What the fuck. I didn't know about this either

>People retreat under the sea to, among other things, escape God and religion
>Instead find the demiurge and it destroys their minds and bodies, away from Gods light

Holy kino

Nah, it's something weird. Something that big and bright shouldn't exist at the bottom of the ocean. And there's a cut diary where it's a prisoner complaining about the lights and "shapes" he sees outside his window.

>People take ADAM which was sent from Heaven.
>Little Sisters see them as angels.

Holy shit, the biomass is a piece of Heaven that crashed to earth and people are taking its holy properties for themselves and becoming false angels. Not really but neat to ruminate on.

I'm playing Bioshock 1 right now...i miss the 2005-2010 era of games for some reasons...

This is too good of an idea to actually exist, sorry user.

I would just re-do infinite with a better plot

Infinite was gearing up to be a masterpiece until the started time travelling and the plot went to all hell. if it's plot had been better and followed a similar arc to the previous Bioshocks it would have been the best in the series for me

I had sort of an idea like this, another 10 Years later or so, and yeah the city is now a complete sunken ruin, only some few buildings not totally reclaimed by the sea. By now it would be what, 1980ish? The different governments would start to become aware of Rapture, and there are two competing teams in opposition trying to pillage the city for whats left, CIA and KGB. You play as Eleanor and perhaps an aged Jack backing her up on radio, and your just trying to finally, totally destroy the city now and possibly this “demiurge” with it, to stop ADAM and other Rapture shit from coming to the surface world, now a bigger risk than ever with these government teams raiding the place. And yeah, by now the splicers and even normal sealife are so mutated that they are horrific sea monsters in service to their “god”

Not with that shallow gameplay, at least for me, almots fell asleep at every shootout.

Bioshock 2, do you need to do the gathers for the little sisters?

I'm at the last stage and at this point it just feels mundane. I'd rather save her and just move on

Just go to a vent and save them.

I remember the original story for 2 being a KGB invasion of Rapture. AI for the Soviet troops were used for the Splicers.

There is no downside to that, right? Just less Adam?

Not that I know of.

I like the idea of having to swim through a particularly dark, narrow, submerged area with no power, finding a flashlight or some sort bioluminescence Plasmid and discovering you've been surrounded by largely blind, angler fish splicers the entire time. Or finding the ruins of Persephone and watching from an air pocket in an observation platform as a group of Splicers throw themselves into the Trench to join the mass, only to have something freakish suddenly smash you through the glass plummeting toward it yourself.

New bioshock should take place on the dark side of the moon, in a giant dome like city, something like total recall, the citizens there should be convinced that the earth has been destroyed and they are the last remaining humans and they’re never allowed to travel to the other side of the moon and the plot twist is the earth is still normal

There's no dark side of the moon really, as a matter of fact it's all dark.

That something being a horribly mutated Big Daddy like >474121075 that follows you through the game like a horrible aquatic Nemesis.

>Lunashock
Now I want to shout JOHN MADDEN as I kill mutant crazies.

From a pure gameplay perspective you're right, but the gameplay was never what made BioShock interesting. It was the setting, and 2 offered nothing new in that regard. For that reason, I rank it last.
1>Infinite>2

>it was the setting

And the story, hence

2>1>Infinite

>Ranking Infinite anywhere but bottom
The point of offering new stuff is that it's good, which Infinite failed to accomplish, you can argue 1 > 2 but Infinite deserves the bottom.

How about the plot twist is that they are actually still on Earth

Did Ryan approve of unions?

Shut up nerd you know what I mean. It’s placed so you can’t see the earth

1 had the better story but 2 had the more consistent writing. They're solid, unlike Infinite which drops its critiques on Exceptionalism in favor of "DUDDEEEEEEE MULTIVERSES LMAO THERES OTHER (YOU)S OUT THERE MAN" half way through. Typically I like MWI and Multiverse shit, but Infinite had them shoved in and didn't think about it seriously. It tried to be mind blowing but it only made me want to blow my mind out of my head due to how pretentious and bland it was.

probably?

Too predictable of a twist. I knew what you were going to say before I even finished reading

I like this more

Infinite was promising until the timeline shit

Then offer something else fuck face. Don’t make me come over there

That was a Pink Floyd reference you zoomer.

She wanted to get the fuck out. She returned in 2 to it because Lamb was fucking around and to save Porter. They leave the city after Minerva's Den.

I know that gameplay isn't really outstanding in Bioshock but compare the gameplay in 1 and especially 2 to Infinite and it's just depressing how bad Infinite fucked up.

Dark side of the moon is their worst album.

Astroshock
Game has a retro-space feel
Takes place in a space station that is old and run down

Plot is that after an incident on your ship, you've escaped via the an escape pod and after weeks of drifting thru the void you are picked up by someone on the station, a station that as far as society knows, doesn't exist. The guy who saves you was hoping to salvage your pod for parts, but is happy to see you alive and enlists your help in gathering the parts to repair a shuttle that can get the both of you back to society. At first it's all hunky dory but then the other scavengers find out that you and your bud are repairing a shuttle and everyone wants in on it, despite the fact that it can only take four people max. Trust between various characters and your buddy becomes a big issue

Your "powers" come from a high-tech gauntlet you get early on (think boba fett's wrist-mounted weapons)

The catch is that, while the technology of the station is very advance, the civilization that the player comes from is centuries beyond them (which is teased a bit by the sleekness of the player's escape pod)

He just protects lolis.

the demiurge stuff being discussed is kind of eh. instead of bioshock being a story of human hubris and tragedy, its a story about... a big fish secretly mind controlling people. the actually interesting conspiracy of fontaine helping to bring down a society is suddenly revealed that it was predetermined by a god and inevitable.

no wonder the audio logs were removed. they would cheapen the story of bioshock 1 and 2 greatly.

source

It's just a bit of autistic imagination talking about the Biomass. Obviously the superpower shit isn't what makes Rapture's fall interesting and even without it Rapture was doomed thanks to both Ryan and Fontaine. Still, it's a cool mystery and it was great looking down at your feet and just seeing bright light.

2 had the best story AND the best gameplay

People always forget this dude from the multiplayer
>Zigo's disappearance from the surface was noticed by his family, who put out missing person fliers for him. When Zigo arrived in Rapture he worked in Neptune's Bounty. One day, while working at Fisheries, one of Zigo's coworkers named Burke was killed in an accident. Before he died, Burke revealed to Zigo the location of his ADAM stash, which Zigo eventually found. The ADAM ultimately warped Zigo's mind to the point that he heard a Big Daddy groan and claimed that it was the sea telling him he was the only one who could wield the sea's "Holy Blood" (or ADAM), and that it was his mission to destroy Rapture and reclaim it for the sea. By his third diary, Zigo thinks himself to be the physical incarnation of the ocean and seeks to kill both Andrew Ryan and Atlas in the name of the sea.

The whole shit seem like a cut part of Bioshock 2

Is there any characters who came to Rapture, even if not rich, just to enjoy the society even in middleclass/poverty?
i can't think of any beside some multiplayer characters

Yeah that screams cut content

Do all the multiplayer characters have this much deapth?

It's like they cut it but still wanted to sneak in some mention of it. I knew that they planned to have Soviets in Bioshock 2 and when that didn't happened they used the AI assets for those soldiers for the Splicers. Then again, I doubt they seriously were going to have Lovecraft tier shit in Bioshock when the ramblings of sea gods and all that can easily be attributed to the speaker having lost their damned marbles.

Plenty of people who became splicers obviously. No major characters I can think of though

Yeah , they all had some lore, some less than others.

I liked the welder guy.

No they didn't. All that shit with the soviet soldiers being in Rapture was all a hoax article, along with that shit about you visiting Rapture's Zoo and fighting a giant jellyfish.

>instead of bioshock being a story of human hubris and tragedy, its a story about... a big fish secretly mind controlling people
Just how much of a brainlet do you have to be to only get that from the idea?

The remasters are hot trash. I know you are playing on PC but there was a glitch on the PS4 version in which each new save file got bigger and bigger until it eventually filled up all the space and you had to delete old ones. Except when you did, you found out it didn't matter and the save files kept growing anyways. They never fixed this.

Is the multiplayer for 2 still working?

It's brought up in literally ONE audio diary

Just because they can see the light doesn't mean they can see the actual biomass

It's in the Ryan Amusements part of the game, where there's the exhibit about the history of the founding of Rapture. One of the exhibits is Ryan on his yacht (the Olympian) pointing down at the sea screaming "There!" and it describes how he was crossing the atlantic and had a vision of his dream city at that spot, so awakens suddenly and stumbles out onto the deck half-awake to proclaim it and assumedly let the crew know.

Interestingly as a bit of foreshadowing, the last exhibit describes the construction of the foundations and first few buildings of the city, and how the builders had to deal with various troubles and threads including "dangerous sealife" with like a picture of a giant anglerfish if I recall.

But the foreshadowing bit is, that last exhibit is pretty damaged and the audio of it cuts off when it says something along the lines of "Some of the problems the workers had to deal with, including harsh sea conditions, dangerous aquatic life, and-" it gets distorted and static-y at this end but sounds like "unexpected seafloor caverns" or something like that. Foreshadowing of course for Persephone later in the game. As we know, when the city was being built, the trench was found by accident as I recall when workers were putting in foundations. Sinclair found out about it though, bought up the area and paid off the workers to "forget" about the trench, and then he built Persephone in the trench, to have his own facility hidden from the city that nobody knew about.

I believe it's working but not active

I just checked the file sizes on my PS4. The largest save I have is from Bioshock 1 at around 79.5 MB with Bioshock 2's save file being around 14.7 MB. I completed both games including Minerva's Den for BS2. Pretty big size difference. Luckily I don't see myself returning to Bioshock anytime soon since it doesn't have Drill Dash.

That could be just Ryan coming up with a story that little children could understand. But then again it could be that there really is Something in the Sea.

If you count removed ones, it's in a few. Or at least is alluded to.

The one still in game though is blatantly obvious. How you can be going through the last level inside a deep ocean trench and it's like the fucking sun is shining beneath your feat, and there's strange things in the skybox distance and strange distant noises now and then in the level, and then you get an audio diary which a guy talks about things outside watching in through the windows, how you can go through all of that and still not notice it is beyond my understanding.

>coming up with a story that little children could understand

That's entirely possible. I just think it's a nice little bit of potential "What if?" lore to the game, just a throwaway single line.

Me personally, whether it has anything to do with the "demiurge" thing in the deeps, I'm not sure and would be skeptical about. However, I *did* take it as a suggestion that Ryan received inspiration from God about where to make the city. Partly because one, in the exhibit it describes it as a "vision" he has and two, the city is in such a perfect location with things like geothermal fissures for power, that for the location to be found without years of undersea location surveying, is beyond convenience. I didn't take that to mean, oh he's literally being called to by the luminous mass below, but to me it was like a neat little jab at Ryan who is so anti-religious yet seems to get some divine guidance on where to build his city.

Kind of like the fun poking at him and his anti-religious attitude, yet the city is called Rapture and the potential double meaning that has, as well as the districts of his city named after Greek gods and his yacht, the Olympian.

Still, it's a neat potential tie in to the whole luminous mass idea.

Go away with your Bioshit Infinite Waifuism.

This sounds great but it falls into the same pitfall that the concept art was for Infinite: you can come up with all these amazing ideas for people turned into dimension-blended monsters, but concept art is easier to make than implementing all those different models into game with designs and animations.

People would complain it's wasted potential for the game when for example, you have an enemy who's all the ages of his own life blended together at the same time, but the amount of work you put into that model and animations means you'd have to make it just an enemy type and then you've got tons of the same guys all suffering the same dimensional effect.

It's a shame because it's a situation where you could get some amazing concepts if you had a room of 100 people all allowed to come up with their own ideas of dimension crossing fuckery, but you could never actually include all those ideas in a game, just a handful and players would complain that handful is just not enough considering the concept you had to work with. Kind of like how in Infinite you can see with their concept art, they had all these ideas for dimension fucked up people, lots of amazing ideas but in the end couldn't go with any of them for being so different so in the actual game they just had to settle with "jittery vibrating crazy people because in anther dimension they died and this dimension they remember it". That was the baseline "weird" they could only go with.

Shame really. Infinite seems to have had a terribly constrained development given how limited it is compared to earlier presentations

Yeah imagination and turning it into reality are two very different things. What i was thinking was more of a walking sim though, puzzling the clues together and trying to find the heart of the dimensional rift and then somehow trying to repair it and possibly failing. So take the visual style of bioshock, its characters and feel, ditch the combat and action mechanics, up the amount of messed-up to astronomical levels and make the game into something completely different than what you would expect, then tie it all together in bits and pieces throughout the playthrough

what bioshock 2 should of been( i love bio 2 but it needed something)
rapture but 50 years later after the first game.
you play as a next gen big daddy created by a faction of splicers that are barely human from generations of breeding with their fucked up drug infused genetics. (were talking actual spider mutant people, and rat faced teleportering madmen with fucked up extra limbs/tails, etc. ) to gain control over the last scraps of the city that are still barely intact

your big daddy suit is in tatters and have new modifications that explain why you can use more things then other daddies that are walking husks with dead bodies inside them only powered by unnatural means from the factions of splicers using them to war against each other

your goal is to assist your mutant master long enough until you can break free and try to escape from the city which wont last much longer
also big sisters are in this game cause they cute

youtu.be/muJYTeQlvC4
Check this out if you haven't already seen it

I don't need to see that because I'm old enough to remember when they released those first gameplay demos of Bioshit Infinite.

That, but also what seems like Levine-driven constant rewrites. Like along with having to make the game itself, they had to keep devoting resources to Levine and the writers continually changing the plot/characters drastically.

If I'm not mistaken, they even had a final rewrite for what became the final version of the game, just 6 months before the game released and the final product we got was basically a scrapped version of the game prior to this, all cobbled together in a "working" version that roughly fit Levine's final version of the plot. But nevertheless, a gimped version of the game, which is why it's such a mess and feels disjointed. Compare it of course, the final game alongside that famous gameplay trailer version we saw that was very much different.

bio 2 is peak kino
Minerva den is peak Shock game, period.
big sisters deserve more porn than Elizabeth the generic waifu bait

All of these are facts and you can't not argue against them

I can't argue with those facts and don't want to, because they are absolutely right.

It's just sad you're forced to kill the big sisters. Would have been neat if you could save/harvest them.

Only point I'd like to make is the final "fight" in 2 needed to be an actual boss fight, not a time-wave attack from splicers that you don't even need to live through on account of the vita chambers.

would of been neater if you could of fucked them
they were a wasted opportunity regardless such a cool enemy design that never gets an extra trick as the game goes on so they go from a threat to literally just perma freeze them with winter blast by the halfway point. also the whole fight you if you saved her little sisters is retarded like whats your probelm, bitch? they should of patrolled like daddies and attacked you on sight if you harvested a little sister that level or somethin

i never played with vita chambers even tho their crucial to the story
they really shouldn't have been in both games
but you right, all 3 games end in a shitty final fight
1's could of been cool if atlas wasn't a pushover even on survivor difficulty in the remaster

Jannys, would you kindly fuck off?

I wish it had a more consistent vision. At first it seemed to be another "Ideology gone amok in a city cut off from the rest of the world" tier story like the first two but then it started getting "tears" and the parallel universe shit started to take stage and there seemed some neat ideas with that, like showing just how shit a timeline run by the Vox would be when we don't see it all that much in the base game. But the game did't think about that sort of stuff intelligently (if we go to another Columbia, shouldn't we at least run into another Liz?) and Levine later admitted he liked writing about things he doesn't grasp completely and it shows.

>See two George Washingtonbots or whatever the fuck they were near the end in Infinite.
"God damn it, these bullet sponge fucks can suck the turds from my shithole"
>See two Big Sisters near the end in 2
"Aw shit, time for fun."

I loved the Big Daddy/Sister fights.

>would of been neater if you could of fucked them
That's Silent Hill 2 tier of kino horror. Not every game can go there.

>neater if you could of fucked them
>as a big daddy

Um no thanks.

I agree with you on their use though, being kind of crap. They should have been implemented differently but instead, in-game they're just like Lamb's hitmen when she gets annoyed with you. Or, hitwomen.

I think they saw how awful Fontaine was and decided not to even bother. Sinclair's fight was tragic and better than another shitty boss fight.

sounds good senpai

Now what if, given as twisted and fucked up as big sisters are, along with all their madness and insane driven emotions, they're also (included but not only) horny because of being pubescent and likely all fucked up hormonally/genetically.

Not like crazy sex kittens, but among the slew of insane emotions and madness they're going through at all times, yeah some of that might be lust.

>Ywn get a big tiddy Big Sister gf

>Levine later admitted he liked writing about things he doesn't grasp completely and it shows

I actually don't think this is that much of a problem, a lot of fantastic sci-fi is concepts in science which aren't understood by the writer but it's well-covered or not important because the writing itself is really good. It's just like you said, it needs to be actually good writing. With Infinite he admits he doesn't understand the science, which isn't bad or wrong, nor is it bad to write about science he doesn't understand. It's just a problem that he doesn't understand it, but it's also just a badly written game.

Regardless of what your gamer brains feel about this obvious fetishist approach, it would be great for a heavier horror approach, where you're the one playing Pyramid Head.

i never even thought of that, bio2 could of been a masterpiece if it was just directed in a slightly different way

>Be one of the last few folks down in old Rapture that isn't a spliced up lunatic, like Sinclair, just a normie trying to survive in the ruins
>Cross paths with a big sister, possibly because you accidentally fucked up Lamb's plans or something while scavenging today
>Being a normie with just a gun, of course she whoops your fucking ass, insane and screaming mad and convulsing the whole time
>Think this is it, this is the end, thanks a lot Atlas for fucking things up to get to this point in the first place
>Big sister standing over you one hand arcing electricity and the big needle of the other drawn back, still gibbering and screaming, body heaving from breathing heavy and convulsing from the madness, what a way to die
>But wait... she's not killing you, what's she doing?
>Is she... undoing her suit?
>Oh god no... not this, anything but this
>This big sister you crossed paths with, in all her madness... is in, or through insane mood swings has turned...

horny

RIP

Big sisters are only 14-15 years old...

He could have done some homework and use his brain and actually thought about what he wrote. I'm no quantum physicist but I know that Infinite's usage of Parallel Worlds is pretty cheap. Where are the other Elizabeths? You go to Columbia after Columbia, all slightly or majorly different but no Elizabeths or Bookers in sight when they should be there with their own stories. I think the only mention of another Booker other than the ending is the timeline where he died a hero to the Vox.

That's why it's so bad!

Also some of them would be older.

That's what I'm saying yeah, his lack of understanding wouldn't be so much a problem if the game was written intelligently and written well. But it's not, so his lack of understanding is worse.

It's pretty jarring that the man who created a great world and one of my favorite "villains" in games also wrote that piece of trash. I don't even remember Comstock all that well, other than he was sad over killing Indians and getting a baptism made him do a 180 and how he hates anyone not a WASP

Good. Boys go for tits. Men go for ass.

>Base game paints her as a fanatic who is capable of as much cruelty towards innocents as Comstock is
>DLC retcons her as a dindu

Pussied out.

Can't have morally complex characters in video games, it's the law.

Seems you're right. I was combing over the removed content page in Bioshock 2 and didn't see a mention.

>Sander Cohen was actually at one point supposed to reappear in BioShock 2 as a 20-foot-tall Freudian monster bunny.[6]

Some things are worth cutting out.

I loved that, it was hilarious. What even was the full reason why?

I know it was some deal with the dumb fucking timelord twin characters, they did something for her and in return she agreed to act like an evil fucker and knowingly let Elizabeth kill her. As in like,

>"Yes twins, as per our deal, I agree to act cartoonishly evil and then put myself in a situation and not resist being murdered by Elizabeth."

as if anyone would agree to that, but what even was the deal? I don't recall what the twins did for her to accept such a deal.

Might have been funny as a hallucination.

Are the OG versions of 1 and 2 playable, or am I stuck with the remastered versions?

>Dude you gotta prepare the Disney Princess psychologically to be willing to take lives

Or some fucking garbage. The less I remember the better.

>hoax article
>Rapture's Zoo

Say what? I could believe a giant jellyfish was a hoax, but I'm almost certain the zoo was a real thing and in fact was cut late into the development. Even in the director commentary of the remaster, they talk about the zoo being a thing and how they were upset about it being cut since they'd done a fair bit of work on it and there was a ton of concept art.

Unless those fucks lied on filmed interview.

I know that was the twin reasoning but what did they give her in exchange? I could be mistaken but I thought they did something for her, like some favor, that made her agree to it.

If they really did nothing, and she simply accepted their reason of

>Ayyo act evil and let this random stranger murder you because she's the Chosen One Disney Princess, and do this because we say so

then that's even worse and all the more hilariously retarded.

Levine said so on Twitter.

Basically they say "ur gon die anyway u don't bring cockstock down liz does lmao do this please constants variables past present future tense ur part in the play or da play itself XD." and Daisy agrees to do it saying "eh, you've helped me in the past I owe you guys."

Levine said that he lied in the interviews, and that the actual work done on the zoo level and all the promo art they had, was all a lie?

>eh, you've helped me in the past I owe you guys.

So she didn't say what they did to help her in the past? That's what I was curious about. I wouldn't be surprised if the game didn't bother to give an actual reason though, it's so lazy.

Basically Daisy cares more about the revolution than her own life. Usually such blind fanaticism is bashed in Bioshock but not here.

Infinite is so cringy and gay its ruins it for me

The rapture rise recording from There's Something In The Sea really took me off guard. Wow.

There's a new mod that thinks any discussion on any one particular video game belongs in /vg/.

Oh god, now I remember Bioshock General and the mouthbreathers circlejerking to Liz there.

Jesus, that's much better than generic goons we got.

I like how top left and the bottom row are just creatures from The Thing (2011)

The original was too obvious, they had to rip off the soulless remake

Guys, how do we fix Dionysus Park? Should there have been an "actual" questline there instead of the mandatory Big Daddy fights?

But there was. Lamb left a idiot in charge and he snorted coke until the entire place drowned and it was all part of her keikaku.

See, I liked that, negotiating with Poole and slowly learning about his fuckups, but addressing that just by having the player find Big Daddies felt shallow. You're probably hunting them anyways, so the area feels like an excuse to get more ADAM.
Maybe Poole should have made you do something low-key heinous during the level, like flooding an area that had been safe during the first flood full of splicers who would have ratted him out to Lamb.
