[Multiplatform] BioShock 2 - I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those Big Daddies.

Finally finished it.

Maybe it needs some more time to sink in, but I liked bioshock 2 over the first. If you call bioshock 2 repetitive, you'd have to admit that bioshock 1 is more repetitive. There's next to no backtracking, and much less (I can't actually remember any) of that ~spend half an hour going all over the place to proceed 30 meters further into the map past some arbitrary blocked area~ stuff. Sup arcadia. I guess you could claim that going from / back to the train is that, but I'm satisfied with the reasons the game gives you for doing so.

I understand why it might be called just an expansion pack to Bioshock 1, but that's the entire point - it's a sequel, you're going back to the same place. Of course it's going to be similar looking, it's not like they built half of rapture different. They removed my gripes with the first (can't use plasmids and weapons at the same time), and most of the annoying and more tedious/boring puzzles.

Bioshock is a pretty hard game to top, and this feels rightly more like a continuation. I'm satisfied with it, and looking forward to a Bioshock 3. They left enough open points to justify one I think.

There's not much explained for you from the first, so if you're thinking of playing Bioshock 2 then it's pretty much required for you to have completed the first beforehand, else you'll be pretty confused.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
