Maybe you just didn’t explore enough. I got a ton of shit on the first way through and explored like all hell and purposely took as long as possible to best enjoy myself and the game, I could’ve just ran through in half the time but I chose not to because that’s depriving myself of a great gaming experience. Obviously I’m not alone in that opinion, just look up the Bioshock reviews at http://www.gamerankings.com. And Oblivion is SOOOO WACK. That is the most boring overrated shit I’ve ever seen in my life, hands down. And R6 being better than Gears? Please. The only people who think that are people who are terrible at Gears just like when people hate on Halo cause they suck at it or don’t have a 360. Vegas was not that great and in the end it will be Gears that will be remembered while Vegas will go down as “just another” R6 game. Gears isn’t the best selling 360 game for no reason, it’s just simply the best multiplayer game on the market. And COD4, judging from the beta is going to be the best multiplayer game for awhile once it comes out. Yes, that’s right, better than Halo 3. I wasn’t all that impressed with the beta for Halo 3 but COD4 is like a ridiculously sick modern day version of Counter-Strike.
Bioshock > Oblivion
and
COD4 > Gears > R6V
For anyone who has trouble sleeping just pick up Oblivion and play for more than 5 minutes because the combat system is about as exciting as watching grass grow.
And for anyone who doubts me on Bioshock, just go read the reviews on gamerankings.com, it’s a compilation of all the review scores for a game averaged together for an overall score. Check if more of the reviews seem to agree with my opinion or with Tyler Durdens.
