What appealed to you the most in BioShock 2?

[AndreyRyan]

It's not multiple choice because the title clearly says "appealed most".
Some people asked me "what do you mean by"...
so here are the explanations:
The "old" stuff = The stuff carried over form the first game, (Rapture, duuh. And not only that, e.g. the same model for <med-kits>
The shadow effect means the way you can now see your own shadow on walls. - I think its cool.

[Daddy BioShock]

Just simply the fact that it was the sequel to my favourite game.

[I-ChooseTheImpossible]

Definetly the story.

[General Goose]

I loved everything, but the new Plasmids and Plasmid upgrades are probably my favourite addition.

[lod7]

ROFL loved how you had the drill in the poll. yes i did pick it. but plasmids lvl 3 was second. third would have been tonic slots. and 4th would be story.

A worthy sequel imo

[Adam James Walker]

If Old Stuff means Rapture

[ancient]

What do you mean by "The shadow effect"?

[ancient]

The single element that totally hypnotized me - the white flickering trail leading to Adam or vents. Superbly voiced by the little sisters :)

"this way..."

"...it's close"

A fantastic small touch :)

[Trie215]

I'm gonna choose out of the options and go with...

SPEAR GUN.

There really is nothing like landing consecutive shots on multiple enemies and watching them stick to the walls. After the upgrades, those splicers would sail a LONG ways. I want.

[Eleanorgirl]

The little sisters to me *.* :p :D :p <3333333333

[SPINEBLOOD]

the drill probably it was so bloody but ween i ran out of gas O_O

[Grayskin]

The story definetley, characters come a close second :)

Story is the most important thing in a game for me, Games like Just Cause 2, Prototype etc are fun but dont have much of a story so i never want to play them more than once

Yet games like final fantasy 7, which obviously have bad graphics compared to nowadays, i still play because of the amazing story telling :D

[schadenfreude]

I wouldn't know what to choose exactly.

Right off the bat I was in mostly because the gameplay was so slick; but I was really cautious about the story, which didn't impress me much for most of the game actually --not compared to BS1 anyway.

However, as soon as Eleanor got off that bed the story ramped up amazingly, leading to one of the most incredibly emotional and rewarding endings in any game ever. Not since Prince of Persia: Sands of Time did I feel so out-and-out satisfied with an ending. And I loved the way they gave sense to all those choices I had done during the game avoiding the cliched good/evil dichotomy, and going for a much more personal, believable meaning instead. I was suprised to find out I actually had been shaping up the personality of a human being all along, leading by example in the most direct form possible, which as an actual father was quite a low punch --you know, the kind of low punch you like to receive.

So that would be the story, I guess =)

[Sinclair Saucer]

The characters; I wanted to meet new people who all had stories to tell

[Power to the Plasmids]

I primarily loved the new additions to game-play, Level 3 Plasmid abilities among them (Eruption ability wins, good sir). Control schemes were fluid and the drill dash was just as hilariously devastating as advertised. Naturally the "old stuff" like Rapture and the audio diaries were bloody fantastic as well. I mean, come on, it's Rapture.

What i really loved was adoption. Adam gathering rocked my socks, which are admittedly pretty hard to rock, and the little sister models look much better in Bioshock 2 (making them all the more painful to harvest).

I'm not gonna even get into Sinclair. His awesomeness goes without question.

[Sinclair Saucer]

I'm not gonna even get into Sinclair. His awesomeness goes without question.

That is soooo true. We can merley try

[IllusionOfLife]

K) All of the Above ;)

[Supercharge]

story, bioshock is awesome for morality and making you feel the emotion in what's happening. I just wanted to know what was going to happen next, i became obsessed for a little while

the way it makes you stop a moment and think..
should i kill them or shall i forgive?
can i really harvest these adorable bundles of insane joy?

this game judges you for who you really are

so in a way you dont choose the ending, it choses you..

OOOOOOOoooooo ;)

[Systemaddict]

Returning to this world. And I loved the more personal journey.

[PureNukage]

What about dual wielding?

[Systemaddict]

What about dual wielding?

mmmm, dual wielding....

[O'Malley de Bough]

Everything appealed to me. Everything.

Dancing frog??? nvr heard of that plasmid

the more i think about ti the multiple endings looked like some effort was put into them compared to the second

[Shades]

Everything about the game was wonderful, the music especially, Schyman sure knows how to compose!

[Riptide159]

Story, I wanted to continue the story of Rapture, may it never die =P

[ChipSpudskin]

The multi-player. While I enjoyed BioShock, it didn't have the replay value that I'm looking for when buying a game. I enjoyed it immensely but, the style of game it is, after two playthroughs, it was just too familiar and I didn't have the interest to play it again - most single-player only games tend to be like that for me. But, with the multi-player then, there is plenty of replay value so, if it weren't for the multi-player then, I would have rented or borrowed BioShock 2 instead.

[Shades]

While I enjoyed BioShock, it didn't have the replay value that I'm looking for when buying a game.

What?! I've just completed it for the fifth time and still want more, it has tons of replay value much more than the original in my opinion.

[MochaMoolatte]

I'd vote for 'more varied roleplay choices' if that were an option, but since the multiple endings reflect those choices, I voted for that. :) That was my biggest gripe with the original. The black-or-white morality got on my nerves after a while in later play-throughs, so when I found out the sequel had a morally ambiguous ending? Color me satisfied. :D

[Big Daddy Waffles]

I've beaten Bioshock 2 on both Xbox 360 and PS3. Four times on 360 and twice on the PS3 and I still want to keep playing both. Anyways getting back on topic, what appealed to me the most was the multiplayer. I am not a big multiplayer but, bioshock 2 is addictive as hell. I wish bioshock 1 would have had one

wow for both O_o that is redundant and fan-tastic at the same time. pun inteneded

[vonlance]

not sure if it's been said already but for me, it's the sheer size and scale of Rapture that you can see when outside! it's huge! so many places left to explore.

i can barely contain my excitement for Bioshock 3. :)

[BioSD]

ah come on the story was ood but did you no enjoy plling peoples guts out with the drill sorry if that sounded sadistic :)

[Seasick]

I'd have to say the characters. When I saw the first released footage of Bioshock 2, I loved it. The Big Sister scared me, and Tenenbaum's return was well done. I loved the characters in the final version even better.

[TAK The Voyager]

Story hands down.

TAK

[Shap3sh1ft3r]

Where is the everything option lol :D

[AndreyRyan]

Where is the everything option lol :D
Damn, I knew i left something out...:p

[Bio-Tom]

ah come on the story was ood but did you no enjoy plling peoples guts out with the drill sorry if that sounded sadistic :)

I agree with you sean

[BioSD]

I agree with you sean
Tom or Bio-Tom people dont know ya mean me:D

[John Galt.]

Wow, story is winning by a landslide so far:)

[Angel Mr B]

What appealed me the most with BS2 was the multiplayer, (when there is no lag!) I love it! My favourite mp by far! In the single player i like the drill, the tactical aspect of fighting system and the hacking tool, even if i liked the hacking system in BS1 too. But this one is better.

Ohh i love the spear gun! /Johan

[Alpha series]

Being a Big Daddy is what appealed to me the most. In bioshock one i always thought you get to be that big daddy on the front cover but i was wrong :(

Atleast you get to become a Rosie at the end.

[Eleanor]

The story and the underwater sequences, along with the music that accompanied it.

[Z008MJ]

The Story's Emotional strength, the underwater sequences, the moral choices, the Little Sisters improved models, Eleanor, and the Music of course.

[little_sister_robin]

little sisters little sisters:D

[Sinclair Saucer]

Well Jim Dandy son! Sinclair is the man!

[Z008MJ]

Well Jim Dandy son! Sinclair is the man!

Well, that was obvious....

[Sinclair Saucer]

Well, that was obvious....

Glad to see you are catching on to me!

[Z008MJ]

Glad to see you are catching on to me!

Frankly, i wonder? How could you make an account and a Sinclair fan loyalty worthy of a thousand even before the game was released? He was non-existent in the first game and SITS had just some audio diaries........

Did i miss somthing?

[BioSD]

Yeah well the drill was better i think but i preferred sinclair then rayn or atlas or any1 else

[Sinclair Saucer]

*Clears throat* Well....

Sinclair was mentioned in Bioshock in the Yi Suchong Audio Diary "The Vita-Chamber", found in Hephastus Central Control. He states "Sinclair and Alexander tried to explain the science to me but Suchong does not belive them". I knew then that this character will appear in a sequel, as in Fort Frolic their is also a Sinclair Spirits which supported this. I also thought that this 'Alexander' person will appear to; I am very observant and perceptive like that.

When I saw the name 'Augustus Sinclair' mentioned on the Bioshock Wiki; I knew that my theory was correct; I checked over and over for a released picture of Sinclair. As soon as a saw it I wanted to know more about this character; who he was; what he did and what his story was. How did this man fit into Rapture?

Cleary he was smart; he built the Vita-Chamber! I pondered him and kept checking the wiki for infomation. I knew he would be my favourite character; I just had no idea how! I thought with a name like Augustus he should be British or at least European. I decided to join this forum under the name Augustus Sinclair (sadly this was taken). I read early in the multiplayer section that splicers would call plasmids 'Sinclair Sauce' so I wanted a name to reflect this, what would you call someone that used this sauce?.....A saucer? Hey presto! Sinclair Saucer:D

I have campaigned tirelessly; shutting down inital theories when upon release that Sinclair will be a guide to the new character of Bioshock 2; that Sinclair would be another Atlas. And I was glad when I was right.

When Sinclair's voice was release, I was saddened that it was a Southern American accent. It did not conform well to my expectation; but very quickly it grew on me and I would not have it any other way.

I am Sinclair Saucer


And Augustus Sinclair is my favourite character and I will mention him when I can!

SINCLAIR FOR THE WIN!!!

[little_sister_robin]

^^^^^ now thats loyalty. Loyalty Mr. Augustus Sinclair has earned. I had no ill thoughts about him and after the game I have so much more respect for the man. I take a moment out of my day to honor him.

Well, now that's a story, and a good one at that, i never speculated on what would appear in the sequel, hard to tell if you were lucky of just plain clever to nail all those characters right?

Well, you make your username proud, so keep it up!! :)

[Daddy Is Strong!]

That is a TRUE Sinclair fan!

Wow!

Someone has an obsession:)

[envoyofnature]

i like everything, but the lv 3 plasmids are awesome. Along with the "old-stuff" the story was pretty good(though in my opinion it was lacking when compared to the first)

though Bioshock 1 was the best game ever

[Codex]

Saucer... I think you need to spend a bit of time in Persephone having a chat with Dr. Lamb. She can help you with your delusions, and from what I've heard she's very good at making people feel a part of the society they find themselves in. "A place for every nutjob and every nutjob in their place," she said once.

;)

Ah, I'm just kidding. Its just a little creepy, is all :P

I'll admit, for all I said Sinclair was a bastard before the release, and I still think he was, he definitely grew on me in game...

[PureNukage]

I'd have to say Rapture. That city is like giving my a backrub and stealing my girlfriend at the same time. I love it and I hate it. The neon lights are cool.
Rapture is my dream city.
No, wait.
A post-nuclear Rapture is my dream city

[Stanley Poole]

Story and environment. I'm obessesed with even just the visuals of Rapture, it's just so dark. I love it. The new levels of plasmids interested me too, I mean, who doesn't want to play catch with a live splicer?

[lod7]

i wana change my earlier statement to multiplayer its FUN as hell

[vivalabam318918]

I really wanted it just because its the sequel to one of the best games EVER plus the multiplayer is amazing, except for the random freezing other then that though its the bomb yo.
