Worth it? I never played either, but at that price it's hard to pass up.

I wanted to play BS2, but it requires GFWL.  No more, I promised myself.  Great price, though.  Five bones is less than a sammich.

Bioshock 1 is definitely worth it.  I passed on 2 after Yahtzee said that it would ruin my memories of the first one.   :awesome_for_real:

I hated the demo for #1 due to respawning mobs, but at $10 for the pair I could not resist.

Has GFWL ever been stripped out of a game via patching? If so, I might look as BS2. What's the US$ price on it, btw?

I guess 75% would make up for the 75% of fun that's missing from a rather subpar on rails shooter.

Interesting story/twist and some scary ablooga blooga bits are good.  Having System Shock dreams dashed, priceless.

Had 1 for probably over a year and still never played it...probably not worth picking up 2 I guess.  :awesome_for_real:

This is what now?

Girl Friend with lightsaber?

Games for Windows Live

Wish it was your interpretation instead, though.

OOOOooooo....

Yes, I hate that windows BS. I already have a steam account, why don't you just ask them?

I thought Bioshock 1 was fun, though I spent as much of the game ignoring the shooting mechanics as possible. 2 wasn't bad for the price I paid. I think it's a bit drawn out, but I definitely think both games are worth it for the price.

Couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on 2, even at $5. Just don't see myself playing it, the first was so tepid.

Yah, I'm having a hard time even shelling out $5 for something I know I probably won't play.  It has some pretty good reviews, but reviewers love anything that's pretty, tells a story, and is a rails shooter with some rpg mechanics.


 :tantrum:

I had fun with Bioshock, but there was always the ever present feeling of just how disappointing it all was.  Still, it was interesting enough to complete.  Probably worth $5, but try to forget where it came from.

Yup.

This was pretty much exactly my experience, I kept waiting for it to become system shock, and it never did.

The original for $5 is a no-brainer - decent play, interesting environment, and plot twists and turns to keep things moving along.

#2 for $5....  Well, there's far worse things to throw $5 at (personally I got my money's worth out of the opening cinematic).  And while I dislike GFWL, I always play offline and it doesn't seem to mess with anything.

I had to be offline before GFWL would let me play without breaking everything.

First one was not horrible but didn't live up to Levine's ridiculous froth.  Second was just boring and dumb, I did not complete it.  Not even any Ayn Rand in the second, just a shitty shooter.

These games have no connection whatsoever to System Shock.

I feel there's more to that story, and I am interested.

The story is only "sometimes I search the internet for funny images".
