Vending machines, eating food for health, different ammo types are all present in BioShock yet they come in too great supplyīoth games feature one-off moments of enjoyable discovery. There are magic abilities, but they are a required tool in BioShock, not a possible option that can be avoided entirely The hacking is present, but was made into a minigame that can always be won at any difficulty (i.e., only your time is a factor, and there are no "dead ends" which would render the hacking attempt impossible soon after you began). The major difference is that I personally feel that BioShock catered too much to a crowd of gamers not used to hard games that require quicksaving every 20-30 seconds. BioShock feels like a more accessible re-interpretation of System Shock 2's core game mechanics. SHODAN was involuntarily reactivated and then integrated itself into the Von Braun system, leading to the events of System Shock 2.I haven't yet finished System Shock 2, but here are my limited thoughts on a direct game comparison. SHODAN's wafer was brought aboard this ship by Bayliss, a UNN soldier, and given to Dr. The signal was eventually picked up by the starship Von Braun. During that time, SHODAN's processing unit 43893 was mostly dormant, but broadcasted a distress signal for 42 years. The biological life forms on board mutated to form the Many, a hive mind organism. The ejected Grove - which contained SHODAN's grand biological experiment and one of her processing components travelled through space at incredibly high speeds (probably travelling through a worm hole) until it landed on Tau Ceti V. The Grove was finally jettisoned by the Hacker. Gerard Koufax noted that SHODAN decided to seal off Beta Grove for unknown reasons and afterwards spent a whole day to override the circuitry. SHODAN had been using this Grove as a Petri dish for her bio-experiments.
