Okay. If you could play any videogame again for the first time, what would it be?

    The first (and best) BioShock. I have no idea how I got away with so many years of not knowing the story or nothing being spoiled, but man, playing that for the first time was an absolute trip, especially that part.

      BioShock was such a wild experience above and beyond simply being a good game.

      I went in absolutely blind, after seeing an ad and just liking the aesthetic and wanting to shoot stuff - not expecting any of the philosophical content or storytelling of that quality, and it was one of those games that I finished and then just like … sat there … for an hour to process the ride I’d been on.

        I absolutely agree. It’s not my favorite or my most played, but it is, imo, one of the best stories and atmosphere by far. I love games I can replay, but for BioShock, it isn’t so much the replayability as it is that feeling I had the first time. That being said I’ve replayed it many times lol.

      Bioshock for me was like the first person game I remember really getting into. I was hooked on getting it the moment I saw the trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrqfPG4ZcAA

      It set up the tone of the game so well. It’s been so long I should replay it all the way up to Bioshock infinite.
