I hated all three of the Bioshock games. Too dark (in the sense of lighting, not tone), too slow (in the sense of how fast you can move, not in story pace), shite combat, far too fucking much philosophy 101 navel-gazing. Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world who didn't like them. Fuck Ken Levine, fuck his minor in Philosophical Studies, and fuck all three of those games.
The Bioshock combat system was basically reused in The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. I felt actively angry playing that game because it reminded me of Bioshock, while also being shit on its own merits. For some reason I don't seem to be capable of playing a game that has a story and not seeing the story through, even if I hate it. It's a curse, I tell ya.
The Big Daddies are kind of cute, though. And the Little Sisters were voiced by Juliet Landau, of Drusilla from Buffy fame, so that's pretty cool too.
