Take me where you will, but leave Rapture behind, just as we found it, just as we eventually chose to leave it.Welcome, Pilots. It may sound odd to say that I preferred that world’s unhappiness, but it was the darkness and isolation that made it so strikingly beautiful … and sometimes that type of solitary beauty should just be let to be what it is, and nothing more. A Rapture devoid of sadness and despair doesn’t appeal to me - it just isn’t the same place. Will the addition of said co-op rape the game of one of the key elements that made it as effective as it was? Absolutely. It’s catering to the general public, and what the people want, the people get, because that’s how money is made. There are many gamers who will only buy games if they offer the option. Will adding in co-op, should that ever happen, help to sell copies of BioShock 2? Sure, it absolutely will. However, it won’t be the Rapture that sucked me in so effectively that it etched a permanent place is my gaming history in mere moments, and for that reason alone I know this sequel will be a different beast than its predecessor. I fully acknowledge that this “prequel/sequel” could choose to move in a completely different direction, and that it could aim to accomodate a different sort of atmosphere in Rapture (one, perhaps, where the city had already been explored by people and was in an even worse shambles than it was in the first game).
