Bioshock isn't a game I really "hate", but it is a game I was very, very disappointed in.
Bioshock's writing is phenomenal. At least, the writing is good outside the part where you actually play the game. The game itself is really what ruined Bioshock for me. The game's pacing is bad and forced. The game play was mediocre and I really hated the "puzzles" that Bioshock had. The moral system was bullshit, I wasn't able to properly empathize with the plight of the Little Sisters and Big Daddies (mostly because they weren't conveyed in a way that you would empathize with or pity), and it just wasn't a pleasant experience.
Bioshock isn't the worst game I've ever played, but it's definitely not worthy of the praise it gets.
Bioshock should have been a movie.
