This week, we board our bathyspheres to revisit Rapture. BioShock 2 was faced with the monumental task of following one of gaming’s most revered titles and it was initially met with trepidation from fans. However, the game is much more than a cookie-cutter sequel, and we spend this episode discussing the significant systemic and narrative changes it brings to the series. Some discussion starters:- Did BioShock 2 alter your feelings towards the original game?- Did the moral choices in BioShock 2 carry weight for you?- How did the game’s emphasis on defending Little Sisters impact your play style?To listen to the podcast:- Subscribe to the EXP Podcast via iTunes here.
