Hi there! Finally I went aboard

BioShock also disappointed me, but the weird thing is, I don't really know why. I absolutely loved the games visual design the first time I saw it and actually the design is also just that great in the game. Just somehow I didn't really "dig" it. I mostly had to tell myself "Okay, now look around, don't just overlook it. Yeah, really, looks great!" instead of just having the "feeling" that it's amazing. Also the actual gameplay was not surprisingly fun or anything. It was alright, but in my opinion it didn't seem to fit the great design, in that it's mostly just simple shooting. But again, it's different to other shooters, the enemies are pretty interesting and all - and yet I didn't have the great fun fighting in BioShock.
There's one thing about which I got a clear opinion, though, and that's the Plasmids. I thought the whole Plasmid concept would be so great, much better than typical spells like in Dark Messiah and really making the game so very varied and tactical. But what does it boil down to? You got 2 greatly effective Plasmids, upgrade them and probably use the others from time to time, but more or less they're nothing more than very simple alternative attacks. So you stun the enemy using Electrobolt then shoot him to death, or you lighthim up using Incinerate and.. shoot him to death. If you like you can also beat him with the wrench. You just mostly don't need to or can't really set up cool chain reactions and traps, anyway.
And of course, I shouldn't forget the story, which was actually nice, as you could get to understand what went on in this place, Rapture. Just again, even though there's a pretty cool twist, I wasn't really surprised any time.
Well, I definitely wouldn't say BioShock is a bad game in any way, it's definitely far above the average in most ways, but for some reason I just couldn't get the hang of it.
Because of this you can also guess I'm expecting that much more from Aquaria in terms on atmosphere and overall "feeling"

Just that even though I've learned from playing BioShock, I don't have any doubt Aquaria will be the expectedly lovely experience
