Zero Punctuation: BioShock 2

[The Ultimate 2]

Just like the SSBB review, funny making fun of something I enjoyed but then again it's your opinion I loved Bioshock 1 and Bioshock 2 is also on my favorite games of the year list. Oh and by the way I feel like this next remark is equaly as dangerous as wearing a star of David at a skin head meeting but, what about the multiplayer section?

I think Yahtzee pretty much hit the nail right on the head with this one. Bioshock 2 by all accounts seems to be a totally unnecessary sequel that was made for the sole purpose of making more money and nothing else.

play as vending machine? id love that! but it needs a "upgrade" section!

You had me thinking that you liked it up till 0:48, until you pulled the rug out from under us. Nice review, I agree about the whole Big Sister mechanic but I like the game anyway.

 

[Archemetis]

I actually want to play as a vending machine now...

I have to say that this is one of the first reviews in a while that made me laugh out loud. It was nice and fast paced and the comparisions were very apt (HL2 Gun Turret). Great work.

brilliant last line

Bioshock 2 should have never existed, god when they announced you played as a big daddy I literally shouted what the fuck.

My friends birthday is next week, think I'll buy him a copy of the original since he's not played it yet.

 

[JEBWrench]

Wait, 10 years AFTER? I thought BS2 was a prequel, seeing as you're a Big Daddy prototype and all.

I think bioshock 2 is a good game while not compared to the first game.

Anyways great review yahtzee and looking forward to the next.

I played the 1st one and it was fantastic but I don't own the 1st one so I ordered this one and I've only been playing multiplayer ^^

I haven't played this yet so I can't comment on the review but what I can comment on is the fact that the fucking huge advertisement fucking froze my PS3 everytime I tried to watch this on it. I like watching ZP on my PS3 rather than my comp and it's annoying that I can't because of an ugly advertisement for a game I'm already aware exists and have no desire to play as it is and really having the ad freeze my PS3 just makes me want to play it less. Please don't do this again escapist.

Luckily I wasn't planning on getting Battlefield Bad Company anyway. Hopefully we won't get any of those full-screen pop-up ads for a game I'm actually interested in, since I'd never buy anything that was advertised in such an annoying manner and I'd hate to miss out on something that I might potentially enjoy because of it.

"Grrrrr, your selfless compassion fills me with murder frenzy!"
I think I almost fell out of my chair at that part. xD

Well, apparently I'm thick because I quite enjoyed Bioshock 2, but it was lacking in the story department.

I liked this review a lot better than some of the recent ones, mainly for the sheer amount of righteous bile and clever phrases. Well done, Yahtzee.

 

[Morayman]

a generic sequel then.

i dont fancy heavy rains chances with mr zee..

 

[Quad08]

Lets never put super large ads around the videos again, ok Escapist? NEVER. AGAIN.

Otherwise, it was an enjoyable review that made laugh, thus making this day easier to get through
