Includes extremely vague spoilers

BioShock is a great game. Not only has it redefined shooters, it has also managed to redefine 'Spiritual successor' too.

Here is the post-bioshock definition of 'Spiritual sucessor' straight from the Oxford English Dictionary.

Spiritual successor
To maintain exactly the same plot, story, characters, setting and theme as inspirational material, but change names about slightly and make it look better.

And now, an example:

Splicers = The Many
Tenenbaum = Delacroix (Same voice actress and everything)
Andrew Ryan = Xerxes
Rapture = Vaun Braun
Atlas/Fontaine = Shodan
ADAM = Cyber modules
EVE = Psi points
Gene tonics = Cybernetic upgrades
Supernatural presence due to excessive splicing = Supernatural presence due to cybernetic enhancement
Vending machines = Vending machines
Hacking = Hacking Apparently language in an isolated arcology like Rapture develops completely in tadem with the language above with identical slang/swear words being developed
Turrets = Turrets
Bathysphere = Bulkheads
Tape recorders = Logs
Plasmids = Psionic powers
Your left hand = Psi Amp
Extremely vague introduction and ending movies = Extremely vague introduction and ending movies
Wrench = Wrench
Vita chamber = Molecular reconstruction unit
Research camera = THE ENTIRE SYSTEM SHOCK 2 RESEARCH SYSTEM SIMPLIFIED INTO PRESSING ONE BUTTON


I could go on for hours, but that would make it look like I'm slagging off one of the greatest games I've ever played.

Therefore, I strongly suggest you buy/steam Bio System shock 3!

XBOX demo sucks. It sucked so bad i tried to drown myself in a room that slowly filled with water. In game, of course.

Khuskan. I just found the thread of 4chan, so it's either you posting it, or copypasta :P

I copypasta'd to 4chan.

I beat Bioshock a week and a half ago. When you run out of ammo and haven't spent any ADAM/time with the wrench, you spend a lot of time in Vita Chambers. Also if you don't take a picture of every enemy you see you get boned b/c they get hard REALLY REALLY fast towards the end. Unfortunately, I had to play it on Xbox. Fortunately, it's not my Xbox or copy of the game. Free, FTW!
