Penny Arcade looks at PS3 Bioshock “hate”

\r\n\r\nWe’ve all heard of Bioshock coming to the PlayStation 3 for the longest time. I’ve raised this issue at least a couple of occasions. When Penny Arcade brought up the notion that a number of staunch PS3 fans “hate” (or as the comic suggests, “feel a blend of semi-grudging acceptance and cautious enthusiasm”) the 2K-developed FPS, I was very surprised.\r\n\r\nIt wasn’t clear if the hate stemmed from being able to play Bioshock in the PC or Xbox 360 and not liking it because you fight the same types of enemies repeatedly, or if the feeling is just the after effects of sour grapes.\r\n\r\nSince we’re talking about console-specific fanboys, I’m more inclined to believe that it’s sour grapes.\r\n\r\nDoes the PS3 version of Bioshock deserve this kind of reaction? Of course not. I may have a few complaints about the core game, but since I haven’t finished it yet (thanks to the headaches it gives me), I’m refraining from making any final judgments.\r\n\r\nSpeaking of Bioshock, maybe it’s time I install the game again on my PC. On the other hand, maybe not—at least until I finish Gears of War, which I moved to my backlog list since my PS3 and Liberty City demanded for more attention.
