Just finished a back to back playthrough of Bioshock 1+2 over the past 3 days. Wow. Playing Bioshock 2 for a second time really made me understand the story alot better. Same thing happened with Bioshock when I first played it. It appears as though theres not much story (practically no cutscenes) and if you just move through the game and dont pay attention you dont pick anything up. I payed alot more attention this time around, listening intently to what NPCs had to say and searching out and listening to all the audio dairies and wow, everything makes alot more sense now.
