Playing Bioshock 1 for the first time...

[RanD00M]

I was scared.Nay,terrified.And I was enjoying the feeling of fright immensely.

I was enRAPTUREd you might say *badumtish* by the water effects mainly....it distracted me just long enough for a splicer to carve me up a bit much to my horror D:
I was okay until the Big Daddies came along, oh my god those....just the charging....the bullrush attack is frightening.

Eh, except for a certain dentist's office in the Medical Pavilion and one room in Hephaestus I never really got freaked out by the game's atmosphere, but I sure loved it. I mean, the gameplay was sub-par even for an FPS, but the atmosphere and the amazing setting/story/characters made it an incredible experience.

Although I enjoy games like Bioshock I'm never scared of them- I've found that horror games can be a problem after you've played one to many shooters-it's hard for a game to instill a sense of fear or foreboding when placing so much as a wrench or a peashooter in your hands results in half a mile of corpses marking your progress all with their brains splattered all over the scary architecture.

Bioshock 1 was my kind of scary, it wasn't over the top make you turn your pants brown, but it was enough to make you really not want to go somewhere.
Eg, seeing footprints in the water, people running by you and having enemies disappear. (Houdini Splicers)

I was sort of saddened that Bioshock 2 was less scary than the first. There was only one true part where i really went "Oh shitfuckshitshitfuckshit"

ran through it my first time with my eyes shut and my wrench swinging.

i screamed for my life and camped a corner for 5 minutes scared relentless of the spider splicer that follows you around.

I didn't find it scary. I actually didn't know that game was out until my gf told me to buy it. I hate how the crosshair was a circle... that really put me off. I remember first laying eyes on the box, I thought we played as the big daddy. Same thing happened with fallout 3 box cover, thought we played as enclave soldier.

 

[Squilookle]

To be honest, I walked around in a fit of depression. Always with the run-down arenas for these pseudo horror shooters. I especially remember looking out the window at the underwater metropolis and thinking to myself:

'This game would have been so much better if it was set in this city's heyday'

 

[Dr. Paine]

It had a nice atmosphere, but nothing I wasn't expecting. Not that that was bad, I was expecting it to be pretty unsettling, and I'll admit that I almost screamed once or twice during the Sander Cohen part.

It was also better than expected in emotional terms, I got a little teary over the Little Sisters.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

I'm easily scared, but once I noticed the Vita Chambers, everything seized to be scary. But the atmosphere is extremely well done. I love the game, it has one of the best stories in gaming, and I don't say that lightly. I can say great game play lightly, but a good story is hard to encounter for me.

 

[ScruffyTheJanitor]

First game to genuinely shock me. The atmosphere was almost real.. but I kinda got used to it early on. Only so many times a splicer jumps you before you get cautious enough to look first.

 

[ZaronX]

Bioshock's more creepy than startling, which I honestly prefer over anything I've seen Hollywood label as "scary" lately... >_> I like being slowly weirded out. I giggled during my run through the game whenever the shit hit the fan. And since it was my first FPS since the N64, and the first I've ever beat without relying on some God Mode cheat or other (really bad at the things), I'm really in no position to judge whether it was "interesting" or not as far as that's concerned, but I really enjoyed it, which is for me a first in the genre. .-.

Creepy creepy creepy creepy. Creep me out, would you kindly?

 

[Awesometown]

I was pretty on edge through most of the game especially at the start i think it's a great example of survival horror sometimes i didn't want to play it cause i go to a dark place when I'm playing it

 

[vamp rocks]

I remember going into a room full of ice, i go to look in a corner, the whole room fills up with air and i turn around and a surgeon is standing behind me. "OH SHIT!"

not only that... but you hear breathing behind you until you turn around... and if you have surround sound like me.... oh... my.. god....

 

[Altorin]

there are only a few parts in the game that really got my heart racing my first time through... and they're all parts where the lights turn off... or a certain part later in the game when the lights turn off and the "corpses" in the room shift positions between light intervals.

that was like "uhhh *poops*"

 

[Nomanslander]

The game is awesome in the beginning, but at the mid point it really slows down.

As for the plot twist and ending...uhhhh...0o

Let's just say it's not as ridiculous as Indigo Prophecy...lol
