All I could remember was that the reviewer says that:
Edit: You should see it. It's only 4 minutes long. Personally, I felt that the review coincided more with my opinion than any other.

Pretty much that it's System Shock 2, dumbed down for the "consoletards."

Thanks, I do agree with many of it's points, except the free revives, which is all up to the player if to abuse them or not.And, I'm on 56k. So it would take too long.

Bioshock was awesome too. Just not the second coming of Jesus like it was hyped.
While I do think Bioshock was an amazing game for this year.... he's right. Sad thing is how many people played System Shock 2? :(Mortok
I played both, but I thought Bioshock was better.
I just think some PC Gamers didn'tlike how linear Bioshock was compared to System Shock, I didn't have a problem with it.

I bought the game a few weeks after it came out and I tried the demo from PC Gamer.
Why?

Because you need to try it with Rebirth.[QUOTE="Technoweirdo"][QUOTE="Panzer_Zwei"]Can someone summarize what it said?Panzer_Zwei

Ah, free revive abuse, which is up to the player is a good point. I went through both of my runs without a single revive but consequently, I abused the save anywhere, anytime, limit free system. Certainly the option to not abuse is there butIrrational or 2K nowreally should've done something to discourage major abuse, like taking away items for dying, 1 revive and 1 save at the VitaChamber per chamber, etc. Even then, there are other things to take advantage of such as respawning enemies meaning unlimited supplies.

Wow, that's the mod for it then? Looks a ton better.

Pretty clear he's got a PC bias (ie a hermit). Example use of the phrase "for console tards" just another review from another point of view albeit done in a very funny way most of the time. I disagree with most of it but that's just my opinion.JTH_22he didn't say that the game was worse for being dumbed down, he merely said what all other hermits are thinking. When a PC game goes to consoles it gets dumbed down, and it makes us angry.
The Vita Chamber, just make sense with the concept of the game, as if you are revived as explained in the game, it makes sense to keep the world persistant.Ah, free revive abuse, which is up to the player is a good point. I went through both of my runs without a single revive but consequently, I abused the save anywhere, anytime, limit free system.

Like I said, I do agree with most of the other points of the review though. I mean, sure you can argue that you can come up wth a dozen ways to kill an enemy, but when it comes to it. A leadhead splicer for example, will always come running and gunning in front of you, and their thougher versions can take 4 or more shotgun blasts at point blank before they go down, all this will they still do damage to you. So the fact that to the mayority of enemies you can just shock them and whack them with your wrench, kinda discourages you, because you know the other methods are less effective in practice.
It also would've been nice to have more varied plasmids, electricity on water and fire on oil, is basically the same thing. Also some weapon modifying tonics would've been nice, like finesse or sharpshooter.

Don't play Invisible War.Although I can't relate to the System Shock 2 comparison (having not played System Shock 2), I can agree with just about everything else.
I really want to try Deus Ex. That game seems like what I hoped Bioshock would be.

You haven't played Deux Ex? :oAlthough I can't relate to the System Shock 2 comparison (having not played System Shock 2), I can agree with just about everything else.

You really should, the game still plays and feels really great, even now.
[QUOTE="sonicmj1"]Don't play Invisible War.Never played the first one but played invisible war. Not very familer with the series to know what was cut outAlthough I can't relate to the System Shock 2 comparison (having not played System Shock 2), I can agree with just about everything else.
