>Bioshock could follow the Star Wars saga, generating sequels as long as the story holds out

The words before the comma and the words after it seem to be from two completely different sentences. Somoone should fix that.

I don't get why people think a franchise should only have a certain number of "sequels" and then it gets what? Boring? Mundane? Repetitive?

I want innovation in games yes but if a game is done right as Bioshock is (I think a lot of people will agree with that). Then I don't see what's wrong as long as they churn out quality titles.

He even said so himself that they won't make a Bioshock game for the sake of one.

If the story and gameplay holds up, I'm there! No, I don't automatically think every franchise should end in trilogies.

Bioshock is a fight between good and evil? Really? Either way, the story was pretty self-contained...and it FINISHED at the end of the first game. I don't know how people think they can just recklessly add onto the story and have it mean anything.

Really? But the first three episodes of Starwars sucked. Story, especially. If this guy thinks comparing Bioshock to those pieces of shit, by by Bio. Perhaps he should compare it to a really good franchise like...huh almost all movies start sucking after the sequel.

@Heromachine: I would say the story of episodes 1, 2, and 3 were very interesting but the movies of 4, 5, 6 were actually good. 1,2, and 3 um not good... it wasn't the story it was the execution

for me anyway... the whole twisted political manipulation was a bit more interesting than typical sci fi western of the 4 5 and 6... the movies stunk though...

@Ehardergardens:

I congratulate u sir. I'm a die hard star wars fan, and i watched 1,2,and 3. I never felt they were awful, but i couldnt sum up exactly wwhat ghe problem was. The story was much more enthralling than 4,5,or 6 but they were never as GOOD as 4,5,or 6. So the execution must be what was off.

And Jar Jar.

How about if he waits to see how 2 goes before talking about a million sequels? I beat the first Bioshock, and it was OK, but "it" just wasn't there for me. There was nothing wrong with the game, I just felt I finished to the end out of some messed up sense of obligation, be it the cost of the game or its critical acclaim. There was definitely innovation and a good story in the game, but it didn't "hook" me. That obviously doesn't get me hyped for even one sequel, and its possible I'm not the only one.

@RonJeremy4Pres: I bought a Wii Last year for SMGalaxy, and I really wanted a 360 too for Bioshock. Now, I have my 360 and Bioshock...and I have not yet beaten it; the story is actually what's causing me to not play it! They really need to work hard on the story, it's what hooks people.

What Christoph has to remember though is that after Lucas made the new Star Wars Trilogy and the fourth Indiana Jones flick, alot of fans ended up thinking that he singlehandedly messed up BOTH franchises.

@gercorr: Agree. And i´m a Matrix fan, so i´m little upset about his comments XD

@Black_Ops_19: Yes, they were Star Wars: George Lucas is senile edition.

@Daisuash: Cmon, you have to agree with the comment about the third matrix movie.

I loved both 1 and 2, but the third made me think... "Ok so that's how you absolutely destroy a nice franchise"
