Bioshock: Collection. Worth?

[Zoinka]

With some embarrassment, I will admit that I've never had the opportunity to play any games in the Bioshock series, even amid the positive reviews from my friends. Now that the entire collection is on sale, I am considering whether or not to buy it all, or just the base games themselves. Any suggestions?

Absolute worth. Yes 2k is garbage and you should think twice before supproting them, but for 14 bucks all three games and all the dlc is a pretty good deal. And yes the remasteres are crash-happy (again, because 2k is garbage) but the originals works just fine.

Hey am thinking of buying this too, does the original games come separate to the remaster because I heard they don't work on some computers.

They're separate.

If you buy the collection you get the remasters and the original versions as well as Bioshock Infinite and all DLC. For 14 or 15 bucks it's totally worth it. My computer is decent but by no means top of the line and I've had no problems running Bioshock Remastered so far.

Bioshock Remastered has been playing fine for me so far- I played Infinite a while ago but no other Bioshock games. And Infinite by itself is worth the $15 to me.

I've had it, but never actually played through the entire thing on Xbox. I got it in a 'bad time' when I wasn't spending much time playing games anyway, so I generally just passed it up. A few years ago, I tried the PC port as well but it was completely broken beyond repair.

Just finished Remastered today. HOLY CRAP. Yes, you absolutely should. The remaster fixes pretty much every issue I have with the original port (crashing, crappy audio, [after a few patches] extreme mouse accel/smoothing) and the game itself is incredible. Rather linear, unfortunately, but it feels like a proper System Shock successor-- the minor RPG elements are manageable and the story will keep you going.

As others have said, the collection is completely worth it. I remember a bit of Bioshock 2 on Xbox, and if it's anything like the first game's remaster, you've got nothing to worry about. Infinite... well, the story kinda stinks. It still looks and plays well, though.

Use the search feature as many threads exist about this very question.

Don't waste your cash on Bioshock crap. Even if they do make a half way decent game, they break the ♥♥♥♥ out of it, and leave it for the players to figure out. Zero customer support. Currently a bug that freezes your game during a save, and deletes the save file! Gotta love bone heads that can't even run a game right how many years after release? Get your ♥♥♥♥ together people.

I would say no based on the fact the two remastered games probably won't work, for me the first crashes every time literally at the start before you are even in control and are just slowly swimming upwards then bam all 3 monitors turn white and it crashes
