Once you beat it, what the replay value on this game?

With all the new games coming out I'm not sure I'll really go back to this very much. Were it the beginning of summer, with not many releases, probably greater. There are different endings and stuff like that, so there is replay value there.

You just have to factor in that I'm less likely to replay a single player game like this compared to other people. I'm not the "OMG I must unlock everything" type. My attention span is short haha.

It just depends on the type of gamer you are...you could replay and do things completely differently (use more plasmids or weapons than the first time) and it would be a pretty fresh game.

Hey, you complained that you couldn't tell what was going on. I gave you a solution. Sorry it wasn't to your liking.

And saying the the last 3rd of this game is a 3 on a 10 scale is absurd. Maybe it wasn't on par with what was the excellent first part and you are disappointed with that. No problem there, I agree to an extent. But a 3 out of 10? It's E.T.-on-the-Atari bad? Come on, that's exaggerating just a wee bit. It seems like you are punishing the last third because what came before it was so good. Your telling me that if you popped in the game and it began where you say it started declining for you, without having played the first 2/3's, you'd say, "Oh this is absolute cr@p. I give it a 3 out of 10"? Don't think so.

Here's my own take: I finished it last night. I thought the last couple of hours were a bit rushed. It was beginning to get a bit repetitive, but I still loved playing to the end. I consider this one of the best 2 or 3 games I have ever played, and I have been gaming since pong. I would give this game a solid 9.5 for the game in it's entirety. That's knocking off a few points for the last part of the game and a few design choices I would have done differently. The story, atmosphere, control and gameplay were top notch, IMO.

As far as replayability, I immediately started a new game once I finished. I am going to go again and save all of the Little Sisters this time instead of harvesting any of them. I felt guilty killing those little girls. I think that speaks volumes for this game's power.

Agree about replayability. I'm jonesing hard and will get in a lot of playing time with the long holiday weekend. As soon as I finish, I plan on upping the difficulty to hard and playing the opposite alignment. I'm saving all of the girls the first time through, but next time I'll slaughter them all

Oh c'mon.... ET on the Atari was not a 3 out of 10. It wasn't that bad!

I won't feel any guilt. I'm a videogame world serial killer in RPGs so I doubt this game will be any different. And I'm ashamed to say I've done some horrible horrible things in Grand Theft Auto as well, LOL.

I have definitely played The Evil One in some of my games. This one just hit me different, though. I DO have a 3 year old daughter, so that may have something to do with it.

Fine Quint, I changed it to a 5/10...but holy ****, isn't scoring anything a completely subjective enterprise? The last part of the game was underwhelming to say the least, and with the repetetive voices and actions over the last level it makes the game drag and lose a lot of the atmosphere it started with. Towards the end the whole respawning enemies trick was very apparent, and as I've asked, I hope there's more to the storyline for the different ending (got the good one). The dialogue from Tennenbaum seemed fitting for my choices, but if the dialogue doesn't change when I harvest the sisters that's a major flaw, IMO.

I too have been gaming a very long time, but there are a lot more games that have touched me and meant more than a moody FPS. I had the jumps, the frights, was "drawn in", and then it hit the wall after the big twist.

Whatever, it's an opinion...love it or leave it. If everyone agreed with you I'm sure the world would be an extremely boring place.

Sounds to me you just got tired of the game. Should have taken a break and played something else, or nothing at all.

Hey, your opinion's fine. I just think you were really exaggerating the drop-off, that's all.

You might be surprised.
