Bioshock to Bioshock to Bioshock.

This video is short-sighted and stupid. Go ahead and tell me how wrong I am about everything down below. And yes, I'm aware of Nintendo games.
This is a new frontier for me. This is the first video I've ever edited in Premier, let alone ANY video in about 10 years. It's pretty obvious who my main influences are for this type of content such as Egoraptor's classic Sequelitis series, Yahtzee Croshaw's Zero Punctuation, or NakeyJakey. I aim to take these influences and shape my own voice, and I hope you think my jokes are funny.
Any criticism welcome, and I'd probably agree with you. I love you all.
I used minimal gameplay from Gamer's Little Playground's Cutscene Videos on the Bioshock Series. I'm kind of new to this, and not sure if this is actually something you're allowed to do, but please reach out to me if this is an issue, and I'll take the video down and try to re-edit it or something. Here's the videos I pulled from:
• BIOSHOCK REMASTERED Al...
• BIOSHOCK 2 REMASTERED ...
• BIOSHOCK INFINITE All ...

I never understood the hate Bioshock 2 got. I loved everything about it.

[@thtkk]

It is because the game is pretty much the same as the first game. Gameplay got more impactful, characters got more variety but how the game develops is the same. Shoot bad guys find a way out every single stage. When you first experience it in Bs1 it is amazing but the second time you want a difference in how the story forms. The only difference is that there isn't a final boss fight and you get a companion (elenor)

[@michaelwesten4624]

I hated the first one more

[@zzxp1]

@@thtkk When you boil it down to the basics every videogame is the same, that seems like apretty weak reason.

[@user-nx3tn9bv7k]

It was only made because the first one was successful and the first one was successful because it had passion and vision behind it by a creative.

[@thtkk]

@@zzxp1 no not every game. The closest example is literally bioshock infinite. Bioshock 2 could be a DLC to Bioshock 1. The burn out happens with the find a way out part. This aspect was worked different in Infinite

[@pawsome3796]

I'm actually pissed youtube didn't recommend both modern gaming and a salty retrospective on the bioshock series. These are both bangers. They deserve front page accolade whatever that means anymore. All I know is I'll be waiting for more. Take your time, and enjoy it. Passion prevails

[@pt8306]

No Bioshock game has a good story. You've been duped. At best they offer nonsensical "twists" while offering no player agency. Bioshock criticising the linear nature of games doesn't mean anything deep when it is itself a linear, contrived game.

You are filling the Sequelitis vibe I've longed for since I was in school. I love your delivery and your genuine enthusiasm for this shit. I am so excited to see where you go from here.

[@johannlabertaler6095]

what I loved about BioShock 2 was just more of Rapture. Your criticism is valid and all, but I couldn't care less. This location is sooo interesting, I would've loved a third one...

[@LeQuack147]

Bioshock 2's multiplayer was surprisingly good though. Getting you into the same "gotta get stronger to win" mindset that doomed Rapture in the first place was a really cool premise, and the fights were chaotic messes in the best way, as all the different weapons and powers collided, and Big Daddies started stomping around. It was good.

[@hoviettrung1501]

Brother, but Bioshock 2 has FREAKING MINERVA’S DEN!!!!!! Arguably the piece of content in the series. If anything i would say that Minerva’s Den is the true Bioshock 2

[@Dekkerzz]

Yeah Minerva's Den was really redemptive

[@slayerd357]

Bioshock 2's combat was perfect. The Plasmid upgrades actually change how they work, and you can use weapons and plasmids simultaneously. Infinite was trash. The story might have been good, and the environment was great, but the game play was so backwards.

[@Coreupt7118]

I've only played Bioshock 2, I loved the game tbh, I really wanna play the first one though Edit : I forgot to mention the fact that I beat the game in under 10 hours, then continued to beat another 2 times... I have no life.

[@RiskyFriskyHandle]

The first time I played Bioshock in 07, I did the save and reload thing, to see what happens with the little sisters. I harvested one, then realised what I had done, having not really understood what the harvest option meant. I was so upset and disgusted, that I didn’t play the game again for months. Needless to say, fascinating subject matter, that got a genuine emotional reaction out of me. Great game, with powerful ideas.

[@AlaskaBoyAlex]

While I love Bioshock 2, I still really liked the video and your critiques of it are valid. I'm just glad I didn't have such a negative reaction to its flaws, I love that game.

[@T0xicZ]

Fantastic video, not sure why it was recommended to me but I'm glad it was. But UMM ACTUALLY according to BIoShock's original design document it was envisioned as a franchise and even had multiplayer originally. Which I always find fascinating and also kind of sad. Also fairly amazingly, BioShock 2 doesn't actually reuse assets outside of the multiplayer game as they had to make them lower texture. Also BioShock 2 is the best get gid subscribed

[@VADER06]

I haven't came across a channel that actually made me laugh in a while. All your videos are great and you actually speaking what's on your mind instead of scared of not being paid makes things way better because its not like other well known youtubers that highly censor themselves like their a parent worried about their kid getting angry at them because the kid will throw their money and credit cards in a shredder if they don't. Only thing I didn't like about Infinite was them scrapping an actual choice option that they originally intended and showed at E3 and redoing the game in a linear manner. Love your content and I'll definitely watch anything else you work on for sure.

Playing bioshock games back to back for the first time 2 was my favourite, but probably because the story of the first game was spoiled for everyone and their mother whos been on any gamer space within the internet. but its interesting to hear your perspective

Most people forget that Bioshock 2 had online multiplayer which was great as long as you didn't get paired with mentally disabled players that made the game drag due to their inability to play the objectives instead of being steamrolled by the enemy team. Also camping the big daddy spawn and beating the enemy team to oblivion was some of the best times on that game.
