I can't decide if I should buy Bioshock 2 or Mass Effect 2. I don't get paid until Friday, so I have a couple days to decide.
ME2.
Also, I heard BS2 was mediocre.

I stopped playing Mass Effect 2 & am now playing Bioshock 2. If you liked the first Bioshock, you'll love the sequel. Don't get me wrong, Mass Effect 2 is also a good game. However, as soon as I walked around the corner while under the sea & saw the entire city of Rapture, again, I was hooked & ME 2 was but an afterthought.

Dear people I don't like: 凸(â—´―｀â—)凸
I am tempted to buy this game although I am very picky on what games I actually pay full price for. I really like the original Bioshock, is the gameplay pretty much the same as it? From watching the trailer it looks like your protecting the sisters in this game? Not a big fan of playing an entire game defending a npc.
Also difficulty wise is it on par with the previous or harder/easier?

Hi
It's quite similar to the first game: control wise, difficulty wise, & how you play it. This time, you are a Big Daddy so you adopt your own little sister.
The sound & atmosphere are pretty much the same & the graphics are better. If you loved the first one, you'll love the 2nd. Best single player FPS-Hybrid I've played since Fallout 3.
Although there's multiplayer now, it's separate from the main game.

Out of curiosity, are you constantly having to worry about your little sister in the heat of battle? Or does she hide and become 'safe' when baddies are around?

In order to gather adam, you need a little sister. To get one, you need to kil her big daddy like in the original. But after you get her, you carry her around until she leads you to a body with adam. When she gets off to harvest it, splicers attack & you need to defend her. Thats the only time she needs defending. She takes no damage while being carried around & for a lot of the time, you don't even carry one around.
After she gathers enough, you collect adam from her by either freeing her or killing her. Like in the original, killing her gets you more.
The big daddies have some new moves, but are similar to the original. The big difference is the addition of big sisters. They're plasmid using ninja versions of big daddies.

So, the whole 'defend the little sister' thing is event-driven. That's good... I didn't want to run through Rapture for 12 hours having to worry about some little sister that's following me around the entire time.

ME2 get. I briefly considered Bioshock, Dante's Inferno, and CoD MW 2, but finally decided to get my space RPG on.

Why is saving so awkward? You have to be logged into windows live the whole time from when you first start the game?

Meh, Fallout 3 was the same way in regards to GFWL, so I'm used to it.

It's a form of DRM, since you have to enter the registration code for the game into your GFWL profile in order to save.

Copy Protection is really getting out of hand and Microsoft is the worst. You would think they were starving to death the way they have made there Copy Protection. Windows 7 is a Royal pain if you buy the upgrade. Legally you can't just Install Windows 7 and show your XP disc as proof as your eligibility to use the upgrade. No they want you to install and activate Windows XP first then Install and Activate Windows 7. Takes twice as long to install a clean OS. Also a pain every time you upgrade your PC you have to call on the phone and spend about 15 minutes entering a new code to prove your still eligible.
Hi
Friend of mine bought it yesterday and after he finally got it working he played for 2 hours only to find out he couldn't save, so he lost his game and had to start over from the beginning. Once he started and realized he couldn't save he made the account, but it still wouldn't let him save because he didn't start the game while already logged in...

So, they've effectively turned an offline single player game into an online single player game?

Log into GFWL, then play. I "finished" Fallout 3 pre-expansions without logging in only to find out you had to be logged in to use the additional content.
So I started over.
Finished Bioshock 2 btw. The plot of the first one was better, but the gameplay of the 2nd was better. I like the whole setting up ambushes & traps things before harvesting Adam bit.

I watched my bf play Bioshock 2 last week. I really enjoyed the story, but I wouldn't recommend buying it unless you plan on playing it more than once. Just rent it, bf beat it in a couple of days.
Had Bioshock 1 come out after Bioshock 2 I think people would have said Bioshock 1 wasn't as good instead. They basically fixed every problem people had with the first one while adding tons of cool new stuff. The Plot is ideologically just the first game in reverse, so I don't think it's better or worse as much as more of the same. The only real gripe I have is that you can't go back and re-explore old areas, but I didn't do too much of that anyways, and I can see why it was semi-necessary this time for storytelling reasons.
I like Borderlands better, but it depends whether you value plot or gameplay more.

I liked hacking better in the first one & the plot. Gameplay, overall, was smoother & superior in the sequel.
Both are excellent games.
The lack of crafting, in the sequel, makes the 2nd a bit less RPGy than the first, though. While Fallout 3 had many more RPG qualities than either Bioshocks.
I haven't play Borderlands, so can't compare either to it.

No you dont, you can make offline profiles for GFWL, i dont know why people think you cant.
After people found the black light hidden messages in the posters, I called around and found a PC version of the Collector's edition and picked it up. Very nifty indeed, and I loved the first one. Not sure if I'll start right away though, FFXIII in less than 2 weeks!

That's pretty awesome, I hadn't heard about that. Imagine being the person to find that on accident... I would have been like OMGWTFBBQ!

This statement does not deserve an exclamation point.
