Bioshock Continued…
I had a harder time playing the most recent Bioshock assignment. For one, my computer could not handle the frame rate for the first ten minutes. I didn’t realize how much processing power this game requires because they graphics aren’t incredibly realistic. It made me realize that there are other factors that go into a game besides graphics to make a game run slowly from your computer. Also, I think the enemies got harder to kill. They might have more health or the layout of the map might give them a stronger advantage against me. Before, the game was not entertaining enough for me, but since they made the enemies harder to kill, I have found myself having a lot of fun.
The one main thing I want to talk about is the bird and cage choice you have to make. Near the end of the second assignment, the main character has to choose between two necklaces for the female protagonist. One necklace is a bird and one necklace is a chain. I picked the cage because I thought it looked cooler, but I am beginning to wonder if the two choices have any symbolism to them that I can’t figure out. I also wonder if the necklaces will have an impact on the game. Call it a hunch, but I think there is a strong possibility that the necklaces could be important in the near future. I can’t wait to see more of what the game has to offer and what villains will be introduced later in the game.
Yeah, it is hard to enjoy a great game when your computer can’t handle the graphics and yes, the enemies have been getting harder. The solution though to the harder enemies is the sniper rifle. If you are confident you can land headshots, then with most enemies its a one hit one kill. As for the choices, I so badly want to see the effects that they have on the game because so far I felt like none of my choices have a true effect.
