are reportedly experiencing a myriad of bugs, some of which were present in the game 9 years ago and still haven&#8217;t been addressed.<\/p>\n<p>Both <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/409710\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bioshock Remastered<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/409720\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bioshock 2 Remastered<\/a><\/strong> have &#8220;<strong>Mixed<\/strong>&#8221; review scores on Steam, with the original games both boasting\u00a0near-perfect review scores.<\/p>\n<p>Users have reported problems with the remastered games across a variety of platforms, and have voiced their dissatisfaction with the amount of bugs in the games, which include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Persistent mouse acceleration<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Framerate issues\/Stuttering<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Intermittent crashes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Some\u00a0resolution\/graphics bugs<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Old bugs are still present in the game<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The options menu in both games has been dumbed-down dramatically, featuring far less graphics settings than the originals, a change which has upset PC gamers who need to tweak performance settings in order to achieve the best framerate while maintaining as much visual quality as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Although\u00a0a large portion of users\u00a0received the remasters\u00a0for free as they owned the original titles, gamers are still hoping for these issues to be fixed via patches so they can enjoy the improved textures and visual effects.<\/p>\n<p>Below are the old and new graphics option menus\u00a0for Bioshock and Bioshock 2:<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Bioshock Original<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Bioshock-1-options.jpg\"><img
