I remember when the very first teaser came out for this and people were going wild. I asked in a streamers chat (first mistake) if there was any actual in-game gameplay footage or it was just a CGI/cutscene and the streamer chewed me out lol. “Let people be excited about things!”

Especially given how easily many seem to have willfully forgotten the horrendous Cyberpunk launch, they could’ve easily pulled a Nintendo with this stuff.

I just recently replayed everything Bioshock (and finished reading the book last night). I streamed them for a friend that had never played any of them, and we agreed in our rankings of best to worst.

Bioshock 1, Minerva’s Den, Burial at Sea, Bioshock 2, Bioshock Infinite.

The story for the first Bioshock just can’t be beat, paired with the wonder of Rapture, wow. Bioshock 2 certainly beats it in terms of gameplay, though. Lot of QoL and mechanical changes that improve playing through 2s (IMO) lackluster story, which could’ve worked better with some changes.

Minerva’s Den hits that sweet spot of a good story with 2s improved gameplay.

Burial at Sea is an interesting bag. It and Infinite certainly mix up a lot of things that we knew about Rapture, but, well… it’s just cool to return there from a slightly different perspective.

We don’t need to talk too much about Infinite.

I’m sorry, have you seen the amount of absolute crap on the Nintendo eShop? What qualification process? It’s a wasteland there.
