I did not know this was a thing, SS2 is one my fave FPS titles, so hopefully this will be a worthy release.

Bioshock was a cut down version of the "shock" gameplay - no inventory management, much more linear path, etc.

I remember at the time people complained that it was "dumbed down for console".

I still enjoyed it though, but I can see why veterans of the genre would feel things are missing or fall short while newcomers would be blown away.

Yeah, that probably it. I got that "This is it?" feeling, while it seemed many others were hailing it as a masterpiece.
