Just started it last night on PS3 and I can already tell I'm really going to like it. Especially with the streamlining of the camera and hacking mini games that were soul crushers after 2 playthroughs in the original.
One major thing I wonder if anyone else has experienced. I can't stop looking around at the amazing environments. I did this in the original Bioshock too. Basically, I progress slow as hell because I don't want to miss a thing or a detail. This is one of the few shooters to ever do this to me. It's awesome and annoying at the same time. I guess it's because after years of conventional shooters with same old same old level design when something comes along with this kind of "eye candy" it's hard to not enjoy the sights. The attention to detail in almost everything should make other developers feel ashamed of themselves.
I'm playing on "Normal" with Vita-Chambers turned off for that "Big Brass Balls" Trophy. Glad I've finally gotten around to playing it. Brjahu has been pestering me about it since launch.

I loved the environmental stuff in the first Bioshock. Little things just drew me in. The attention to the world's details, and an all around fascination with little things that made this falling apart city so real slowed me down big time.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite was the tape recorders. I'm sure there was some achievement for finding them all, but I was drawn to look for them for their story content, not the arbitrary points. They could have easily felt tagged on and unnecessary, but they real brought the narrative to the front of the game play for me. Loved em.
I still need to finish the first one on PC. :(
