Bioshock Collection Announced (All 3 games and DLC) Sept 13th

[Liquid]

No shyt. it's on sale. Every iteration of Bioshock probably barely cracks 4 mil across all plats. The main studio that develops bioshock closed down. It wasnt successful sales wise. Hence its sleep on. I don't know why you don't understand this

Not successful and "slept on" are two very different things. How can something that pushed 4 million be "slept on". That makes no fukking sense.

Do YOU know wtf you are talking about?

That's on THEM if they can't squeeze out a profit out of 4 million sales, but to call any of them "slept on" is ridiculous. Even with the sales let's assume they sold at about $30 a piece, that's $360 MILLION dollars that the trilogy has brought in.

Breh stop it. All bioshock games sold very well. Just because it didn't do fallout numbers means it's "slept on"

Every single time it went on sale on steam it shot straight to #1 for about 2 years straight.

Bioshock Infinite cost a lot to develop and I don't think 2K was pleased with the numbers it did. They gutted the studio and Levine announced he was going to be doing much smaller games going forward. They burned money for years developing that game. When it came out a lot of what they initially showed was toned down or scrapped completely. The final product felt like a huge compromise to the original vision.

That still doesn't mean it's "slept on"

Every gamer has heard of BioShock in one way or another.

Ok because you know their is this thing in industry called comparison and competiveness? Let's delve into that. First edition of Bioshock sold 4 mil on Xbox, PS, PC. FO3 sold roughly that on 360 combined. Hell I think the always maligned KZ sells that on 1 console. You know how much these budgets are for AAA titles? You think 360 mil for three titles covers development, marketing, licensing, etc across three platforms. And like I said, the damn studio shut it doors which obviously represent a failure to meet goals. Which means it wasn't successful Which means it was slept on. Which means not a lot of people supported it. What don't you get?

This isn't a question of whether someone has heard of the game or not. Are you serious right now?

This does not mean that at all. A "slept on" game is something that gets absolutely no hype, no views, nobody talks about it and becomes a cult classic.

BioShock is as mainstream as it gets. You cannot be serious right now breh

Not financially successful and slept on are not the same thing...you have a serious problem if you think that is the case.

Well you have a bizarre extreme view of what slept on means. And you also sound like a fanboy. Bioshock is mainstream. So mainstream that irrational is making another title and a movie is coming out. Oh wait

A movie was going to come out but the studio wouldn't agree to an R rating so it shelved.

They even had the director of the ring and pirates of the Caribbean going to make it.

Nah, YOU have a bizarre way of seeing something that doesn't do "Fallout" numbers as some sort of slept on game that nobody talks about.

fukking games have won game of the year, sold 12+ million, have had DLC released for them, won hundreds of overall awards is somehow considered "slept on" in your warped ass definition of the term.

bioshock had one helluva TWIST that would make m.night shyamalan blush ...

would ya kindly !!!

The last Bioshock was sort of like Tomb Raider 2013. If you look at the numbers it sold well but it needed to sell better than well and it didn't.

Tomb Raider slept on

Tom Raider slept on

Max Payne is also slept on

Why do you keep babbling about accolades I already mentioned the praise from critic and industry. The game did not sell well with consumers. Why are you continuously ignoring that aspect?
