Ya, so BioShock... boring! Yep, I said it.

After multiple attempts to progress through BioShock, I realized something, this game is not fun to play. It bores me to death. Graphics are great, give my props to the artists. The musical score is annoying and quite possibly the worst music I've ever heard, but it fits the game well. But playing the game? I'll pass.

See, BioShock's slow story has yet to become apparent, and believe it or not, has yet to capture my attention. Some people call it art, I call it poor storytelling. This game reminds me of the Final Fantasy series, everyone says "Oh, well you need to get at least 10 hours in and you'll understand everything. The story is great." Well let me tell you something in return, I'm not about to give 8 or so hours of my life to find out if I indeed like a game. If it can't hook me from the beginning, it's not getting my money.

BioShock seems to be stuck trying to figure out whether it's a first-person shooter, or an adventure game. I spend more time running around searching than I do fighting, but unlike great adventure games like Banjo-Kazooie, I'm not having fun doing in. I do enjoy beating people down with my wrench, it reminds me of Condemned, only that game was enjoyable. But aside from that, there is nothing above average about the combat system. The action isn't enough to keep me entertained by any means. Besides, I rarely die from fighting the enemies. It's those stupid bots that come out and make the game more annoying than it already is.

Between the bots and the turrets, I never want to play this game again. I'm sick of hacking things, it's way overused, and I still don't have any idea why I'm running around Repture acting like an idiot, so I decided to solve that problem, and stop running around Rapture.
