Bioshock 1+2





You didn't, you injected yourself with the Missingno, gorging on them like an overfed pig.
Don't ask, not now. You know Sirius your empire is as stupid as Team Galactic from my world, seriously, let's just defend with pokemon battles and then once lost, let's do nothing and not you know pull out a gun, what kind of evil empire can't afford a gun. Though this sorta reminds me of a game.

Bioshock is a game created by Ken Levine and his team Irrational Studios. I've already talked about Infinite, but I have failed to talk about the original and it's sequel. The original Bioshock plays a lot like Infinite, except it's more survival horror. The game centres around Jack, a man whose plane crashes into the ocean near a lighthouse, entering the lighthouse brings him to Rapture, a city under the sea, whose populace have become deranged and murderous due to overdosing on dna rewritting Plasmids, Plasmids which are the same things as Vigors from Infinite.

Jack comes in contact with Atlas, a man who can get Jack out of the city if he helps him overthrow the city's ruler Andrew Ryan, of course it's not that simple. Throughout the game you'll come across Big Daddies and Little Sisters, this creatures will not attack you unless you attack them first. The daddies live to protect the sisters.
Of course you have to keep an eye out for the residents of the city, while Infinite's attacked you because you kidnapped Elizabeth, here, the inmates not only run the asylum, they ate the doctors and nurses.
Calm down Joelle, I'll say you in good time. Anyway what the original had that Infinite did not, well weapon powerups were free but hard to come by, there are power to the people machines that allow one upgrade before they brake, the Uinvents which allowed you to graft weapons and ammo from random crap you find lying around and it's plasmids were much more different, such as freezing people, letting loose bees, and they are way more plasmids than Infinite's vigors, but you can only use a maximum of 6 to Infinite's 8 at a time.
 You also pick up tonics, which when you get Adam, which allows you to buy plasmids and tonics and slots to store them, you can use to protect yourself, like shortening alarm times, resistance to damage, increased damage to enemies etc. Adam you obtain from the little sisters, if you kill a sister you get tons of Adam, but automatically the game's bad ending at the end, but if you rescue them, you get smaller amounts of Adam, but you can occasionally get gifts from the sisters to aid you in your quest.
Guns also worked differently from Infinite with all the weapons having alternate ammos to use, which range from stronger firepower to a flamethrower shooting liquid nitrogen, oh and this game has one of the greatest plot twists in gaming. The original Bioshock is a must own game, and it's story is echoes in you guessed it, Bioshock Infinite.
Unlike it's sequel, Bioshock 2. The game is virtually the same as Bioshock, except the u invent is gone, as well as the more interesting weapons, the plasmids are virtually the same as well. The only core differences are you are a Big Daddy...
The story plays out like a movie where you run from area to area where it's little sister is in another castle.

And the little sister gathering is a bit different, when killing Big Daddies die, you take their sister, but instead of just rescuing her, you get her to gather Adam from dead bodies while protecting her from the sudden swarms of enemies and now have to take her to a sister pipe to rescue of harvest her, but doing this yields way more Adam.
But no seriously the story is crap, but what do you expect when the main hero is a practically mindless creature and it feels like a cheapened version of the original. Oh but there is one thing that this has the original doesn't,  a tagged on multiplayer of course.
Yeah basically you run around and shoot each other of course and oh have some plasmids and occasionally you can become a Big Daddy which makes you stronger and hard to kill. The multiplayer is okay, but it's not a reason to own this game, overall, Bioshock 2 is a cheap knock off of the original.

This multiverse nightmare ends here Sirius.


Joelle, The Dead MH lied to us, look what I found through this portal.

Minccino, why do you look so glum?
Minccino, I release you.
GO... I SAID I RELEASE YOU!!! Please go with Joelle and Clefairy, don't make this any harder than it has to be, just take the scarf with you, it makes you look cool.
Oh great now we're sinking.
If we do that we'd be killing them, I could use the machine to send us home, but perhaps if we overload it.
