Bioshock 2, I don't think I like it

[digitaldurandal]

I find myself trying to finish it up, I bought the game after all.

The game does not work correctly in eyefinity even with 1.02 patch. Everything about it feels consolish, when you drag your mouse over an option on the main menu it "sticks" until you move the mouse for a bit like it might for an xbox controller.

Worst of all the game is not that fun - it isn't the worst game ever but I really loved the first one.

Has anyone been able to kill the big sister in the first encounter on hard? I am a pretty good fps player and i went through 3 first aids and all my good ammo. Then I was stuck respawning 3 times before being able to finish her.

PCGamer podcast said that the gameplay and atmosphere were good enough to make up for the consolitis. Should I switch difficulty to easy and be a content jockey?

Well I liked it, of course any "repeat" or "2" of any game is going to smack a little of "been there, done that". I just sorta look at it as the playing the other side (ok so thats what it is). As far as the Big Sister, I dont find them hard. They use speed and that shock wave thingy to kill ya. So just keep alot of distance and always stand someplace with columns or corners you can duck into. I know, simply to say, hard to do. In that first spot you have multi levels so you can QUICKLY change levels, which works well for getting some distance. I just make sure as soon as i hit the lowest floor i get distacne and head for the way up again, she will follow and you will be above her again. If you get some distane you have some time to fire somthing into her. generaly i play cat and mouse and whittle on her a bit, then when i feel she is hurt I get in close, that DRILL does huge damage up close. I also use alot of flame, to many MMORPG games and dots rule.

I played through it on hard and it gets really easy by the end of the game. My advice for the first big sister is to use to rivet gun and dodge a lot, and use just lightning to freeze her when you're in danger. I played with the vita-chambers turned off too, so it is totally possible to kill her without re-spawning.

After the first big sister I made a habit of leading big sisters near big daddies and letting them fight it out. The big sister always wins but she's left with very little life and is easy to finish off. It helps save a ton on supplies which can get pretty sparse at some points on hard.

I also changed the FOV in the game, that helped a lot for me, everything seems so zoomed in with the default FOV.

Was this on hard difficulty? When she closed in on me, I used my upgraded drill on her and my life simply plummeted much faster than hers.

Also ammo is so super scarce. I don't know if this is due to the difficulty or not.
