Explain then why Bioshlock is dogshit? Explain why System Shock 2 is a consistent continuation of System Shock's style in writing despite Ken Levine having absolutely 0 involvement in SS1.
>>
theyre not and play nothing alike
>>
>>740921412
Because System Shock 2 was made by LGS and the games after weren't. Hope this helps.
>>
Oh hey, I don't care!
>>
>>740921412
>Explain then why Bioshlock is dogshit?
It isn't. Its literally just SS2 without inventory management. You're wither a Ktoganfag, or consoles terrify you.
>Explain why System Shock 2 is a consistent continuation of System Shock's style in writing despite Ken Levine having absolutely 0 involvement in SS1.
If you think SS2 is like SS1, you have outed yourself as a tourist/poser.
On a writing levrl? Ken has been very clear that Warren helped.

>>740921615
Do you make it a habit of responding to rhetorical questions?
>>
>>740921575
They are and they do.
>>
>>740921412
I replayed SS2 and B1 back to back recently and the latter really isn't that much worse than the former. Definitely overhated by elitist imsim pseuds.
>>
ken levine is a hack fraud like george lucas that needs people to rein him in otherwise he makes bioshock infinite which could have been an amazing game if he didnt randomly decide to cut shit out on a whim

You are a retard.

Yes on a writing "levrl" you shit-for-brains, that is literally what I said.
>>
>>740921843
"elitism" as a pejorative is used exclusively by gatekept morons who absolutely should be gatekept. Nothing in this world has ever benefited from the lack of gatekeeping or elitism.

Hilariously, the the elitist that literally invented the PC master-race mrme thinks BS1 is as good if not better than SS2

I already knew that.
>>
>>740921846
>ken levine is a hack fraud like george lucas
Except George Lucas made the original Star Wars. Ken had absolutely nothing to do with System Shock. He's just another contractor signed on to do the drywall, not an architect.
>>
>>740921412
By the time Bioshock came out the western video game industry was in heavy decline. Not that Bioshock 1 and 2 were bad, they were just worse than games that came before. Infinite was just there to hammer it home for the slow folk.
>>
>>740921951
In this case it's simple a figure of speech for a regular circlejerking, opinion policing echochambers but with intellectual pretenses. Barely a step above discord trannies, essentially.

It wasn't random. The publisher got involved and made him cut shit. (Like the Citadel station sequence)

It’s merely worse in every way due to being shoved on consoles. Impressive really how they even made the soundtrack worse in the process but I guess consoles can’t handle techno.

Or non-linear levels. Or actual emergent gameplay. Or proper character building. Or enemy variety.

Prey 2017 is more System Shock 2 than Bioshock.

The RPG elements got shoved into a woodchipper too. Plasmids are the apex of what a 70 IQ consolefag can grasp as a concept.

>>740921412
Ken isn’t a good writer, it’s why 2 is the best of the Bioshock games and why Infinite killed the series. 1 is reliant on the twist and after it a lot of the glaring flaws become more obvious. Ken substitutes ideological commentary and the novelty of Rapture for decent writing. And Infinite is just retarded overall since it makes little sense on a fundamental level. And I don’t mean the science behind a flying city but rather all the other shit like how the so called WASP ethnostate has to have minorities to work for them when they have access to any technology from across infinite universes or how the story just goes off the rails halfway through and the smug cunt twins just sort of exist and provide nothing of value to the story as a whole.

I'm NTA. Every time anyone talks about "System Shock" as a series they ignore SS1 because retards refuse to play the original. I will always bring it up
>>
>>740922465
I don't know what any of that means, and being ok with that is like a warm blanket.
>>
>>740923706
This is true.
That faggot was trying to use SS1 as a life raft for his sinking argument, but it is undeniable kino that everyone says they've played (but they haven't)

who's one shot?

You are lucky.
I didm't know about the krogan brainrot before /v/.
TLDR:
they think bioshock is about Jewish supremacy.

What's better about System Shock? I played it. and I have a suspicion you're only pretending to have played it for some weird sense of credibility.

This is such a weird topic to become a schizo over
But I am looking forward to the anon who constantly posts threads about the time the devs connected Ace Combat to Dig Dug and thus it's canon we should all take very seriously

How is he gatekept when he has and has played both of them?

Both games are in the same universe. This is confirmed by Ken.

Beacuse rememberberries.

Why, indeed? The writers clearly had no clue what they were doing with that game so.. I suppose the answer is that there is no answer.

He can't do that, tho. It would be fanfiction at best.

Why Citadel?
Why in the most significant part of the game?
The part all about multiverse shit?
>>
The weakest part of the Bioshock series is and always has been the gunplay. It was carried hard by the setting, which is more or less why Infinite wasn't so great; The sky city sucked eggs compared to Rapture.

The gunplay though, is complete ass. Enemies are bullet sponges and yet you're always somehow packed to the max with ammo.

Damn, didn't know he had a time machine to go back in time and rewrite a game he has absolutely no relation to on which the entirety of SS2 was built on. Constants and variables, huh...

I recommended the remake if you simply can't do SS1 EE, and I like the music in the remake, but yes it's wholly worse, why are you being such a faggot anyway
