I'm not pessimistic, I'm just not interested in multi player. Specially not for games with strong story lines like Bioshock. Time you spend on Y can not be spend on X.
Also, what nice things did DE do to UT2004?

Strong storylines
Bioshock remains one of the most boring games I've played in recent years.
Still, you have to see the potential of multiplayer for a game with mechanics like Bioshock. It may not be the crux of the game, but the possibility of multiplayer being more than average is there.
Ok, interesting setting and environment, but as far as storylines go for the average action game, Bioshock is in the top something.
But if Bioshock is the most boring game you've played in recent years then you haven't played many games. You probably didn't play: Assassin's Creed, Mirror's Edge, Prince of Persia (the one of 2008), Prototype, Space Siege, Rise of the Argnonauts, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Bully, The Witcher, ...

One of the most boring does not equal most boring. There are plenty of boring games, and most games that seem to play themselves seem to come from Ubi for me. AC was repetitive and got boring later on, but was cool for at least a few hours; Mirror's Edge wasn't boring, just frustrating; PoP was probably one of the biggest disappointments in gaming EVER, essentially one big string of quicktime events; I actually really enjoy Prototype and its mindless mayhem; STALKER I wish I had never bought; The Witcher did not want me to play it, so I put it down after 3 or so hours of boredom.
I do play a lot of games. Bioshock just happens to be one of the more boring ones. I never ended up finishing it because the game doesn't want me to play it.
Sjosz isn't alone. All I remember from BioShock was "open this, search this, pick up this" and killing those retarded enemies around. And all of this until the end of the game: it got old quickly. I only managed to finish it due to my interest to the storyline.
The most boring things for me in bioshock was the whole useless items you never gave a **** about. What is the point of having potatoes chip sacs if it increase like 2 point of mana? These kind of items were just a waste of time, even at the start of the game. They had a bunch of useless thing going on as well, like how few ammo you could find wasting minutes of your time from searching cabinets and so on. Non impressively FO3 did the same thing. I just can't believe some people are tuned on by such systems.
However the weapon variety and traps sound good. But the thing is that you could just fight the big daddy over, and over again going straight forward at it in a non stop fashion using everything you got until you're left to melee attacks. I mean, hey, what's the point of trying to collect health packs trying to survive if you're just going to die and respawn like nothing happened??

Killing a big daddy with the wrench sounded like an achievement of skill at first, and when I finally met my first big daddy to fight, I figured out really fast how this game would bore me. Very disappointing indeed.
and the doctor says "then don't do that"
Then don't use the respawners. I considered those to be nothing but an easy out for novices. If I couldn't get by something without respawning, then I'd reload and try again until I got it right.

I never even died the whole game, surprisingly. I didn't think Bioshock was anywhere near as stellar as it was made out to be. It was a good game, but it wasn't a great game.
I liked Bioshock, but it depends on how you look at it. It was almost more an interactive movie than a game. The gameplay elements were not very demanding, but the settings and characters were great.
so... that raises the question of which games you didn't think were boring.
sounds like 90% of all games out there
It is all a matter of taste.
I have been playing games since 1978. Nowadays I play Singleplayer-fps only for the story, unless they offer something REALLY new. Most do not. They only offer a variation of what has been done before slightly different. Which is totally OK, because most gamers haven't played as many shooters as me or other gamers of my age.
The story of Bioshock did not catch me. I got bored before the first Big Daddy and stopped. And the story wasn't told in a way it kept my interest.
