Scary? Bioshock :lol: ?

No, not at all. He's probably teasing you, or he's confusing bioshock with dead space.

It has some very rare scary parts, but nothing that will make you scream until your throat explodes.

It was a little bit once you first arrive down in Rapture, and one or two parts after that, but once you get really powerful, then it just becomes really fun to see all of the interesting ways that you can kill the baddies.

The mouse acceleration problems were very scary, if they haven't fixed that by now, don't bother.

It's all garnish and no dinner, very overrated game. I'd give it a miss if I were you.

It's scary at the start but as others have said, you get used to it. Great game though and has a good atmosphere. I found it didn't have much reply value though. Played it once to the end but never touched it again.

Bioshock was the spritual sequel to SS2 and developed by the same company (Irrational Games now known as 2k)

Bioshock has a great atmosphere. Definitely creepy. Scary though? Not really. Bioshock is designed to make you think, not scare the crap out of you.

It still creates a better atmosphere of fear than Bioshock, even by today's standards.

It's not scary it's just too creepy for its own good. I hate how you would hear the screams of the splicers coming at you, but your gun wasn't strong enough to kill them in two shots, so you just had to wait till they got close then BAM hit them with a wrench.

No, it is not remotely scary in the slightest.

DucksBrains

This is an opinion. I for one do not find horror movies scary, at all, not even the slightest scare in any way shape or form... BUT, i wouldn't tell someone that they are not scary, they may be to some people, i know people who are scared by them.

Now, Bioshock does set a creepy mood, it has some jumpy moments and it does deliver a horrorish atmosphere. There is one part with some manaquiens which i found to be more "Scary" than anything in Dead space. I would say that no games are scary, but thats not to say there isn't an intent to be scary, and Bioshock does intend to have scary moments, even if you are personally not scared by entertainment, like me.

If my sister in law played games she would cry if she played Bioshock, she is scared of everything.

People tend to find different forms of horror scary. One person might find the Saw movies or Hostel or something gory and violent scary while others, such as myself, laughed through the entire movie. In my opinion Psychologically scary>In your face gore always. Bioshock is an equal mix of the two. For real horror go watch The Exorcist. Heck I even thought the old Twilight Zone TV shows were excellent.

I can get scared at times but it's the moments when things jump out at you or when you turn around and the guy is just standing there. It's a great game but you can play the demo if you wanna find out about the level of horror and etc.

Maybe creepy and a bit disturbing, but not scary at all. Doom 3 is even more scary. It isn't even dark as most locations are bright and beautiful too. The water in the game makes it look magnificent. You will probably enjoy the game a lot and not be scared at all.

I agree on BioShock being creepy and atmospheric, plus there were a few moments where I got a bit startled, but it is not the least scary. Games like Condemned are much scarier.

Very creepy and chilling. Frightening not so much in a boo-scary way but just the thought that Rapture used to be a place where people lived and were happy for a while but are now fractured. Uncanny is the word!

it is very scary for me, but i dont watch horror movies or play horror games. the atmosphere is amazingly creepy expecially with headphones on at night, the disturbed baddies are always rambling some psychotic crap.

I thought BioShock was pretty darn scary too.

You will be just walking along a deserted corridor, then suddenly some crazy zombieish chick will leap out of no where and smack you in the face with a wrench and you have to shoot her in the head. So it has that sort of, jump out of your skin/crap you pants scariness.

The screams of horror and insane, cackling laughter that echo from the background. And the constant "dripping" sounds all the time. Atmospheric scariness.

Some genuinely disturbing characters in the game imo as well. Psychological scariness, (crazy people freak me out).

I would definately call it scary.

There are parts where it feels creepy and scary but not the game in general. Yes, some of you know what I'm talking about. The one with being in that 'COLD ROOM' and collecting 'something'from the table and after that . . . :)

It's neither scary nor a good game. I recommend you find a copy of System Shock 2 instead.
