Basically when you buy the game you need to go online to activate it , not that I mind paying for a game as good as this but for those of you waiting for the pc warez version , may be in for a long wait.

or we hack the online activation and not wait, I mean half life 2 wasn't hard, we can crack this don't worry
I'll be buying this game as well but I imagine it will be cracked on day one of release.
alot of games/programs need online activation now....crackers don't seem to be having much of a problem getting around those systems though :)
no, not at all; but for this particular game, i will be buying it because it looks and feels so good
i love how people think anti piracy systems are hard to crack...you'd be suprised how many people from the softwares company crack the program for us :lol:
I beleave I have found a way around this annoyance. not so much of a crack, more of a trick. all you need is a proxy server program, another computer and a switch/hub/router (way to network the two computers.
msg me if you want the scoop.
no no, im good...nor will i download the game, ill probably buy it
you guys DID hear of the widescreen problem in the game didn't you?

Apparently you can only activate this bad boy on two set-ups, after that you're fecked.

I've changed my mind about buying the game now, I'll just wait for a cracked version.
I bought it via steam.... roll on tomorrow!
cheese what's the movie name in wich "the character in your avatar lives"?
Snake Pliskin rawks!
Film = Escape From new York.
The Steam version had the same 2 installs problem but Steam have been sensible and fixed that now. I might buy mine off Steam now . . .Quote:

It's still a fucked up situation. Does nothing to stop the pirates and only hurts those who actually purchased the game. :dry:
That is fucked up.Quote:

Customers should be allowed to return software unless the license (like "Only for 2 PCs") is clearly stated.
It looks like I'll be getting the game today.
This is one helluva game.... :D
Some screens from my game @ 1360x768 on 7950GX2, really smooth, no stutters.... all gravy!

Had some validation issues, then re-checked the game files and it started downloading again at 80% complete, then another update, to DX9 tonight via Steam as well.... but anyway it's working now, and I must say it's worth it....
Bit of a creep fest... but that's the way I like 'em! :ph34r:
Good news - it has been cracked and you can install this version as many times as you like :D

I hate for you to get your hopes up, but that release has been nuked and many people have tested it (not working).Quote:

I'm glad I read this. I have a copy sitting up at Circuit City right now on hold, but I'm gonna wait for a bit longer on a crack. Looks like they're getting close.Quote:

Isn't it wonderful the way they take your money and then treat you like criminals?
The wonders of anti-piracy. :dabs:

Guys, have a read here about Bioshock installing a rootkit.
Just thought, some might want to wait on trying to install until a good release is fully working..
edit - I first found it here: http://games.slashdot.org/games/07/08/24/213256.shtml
heh ive now downloaded every version of bioshock im on the last one (the nuked one) my last try...going to try the new iso from gamecopyworld.com along with the little nuked crack and see how it goes doubt it will work but will post back
Anything so far?!
Are you kidding VENGEANCE basically recreated Steam. Hell they made it faster and more efficient. ;)Quote:

I'm surprised to tell you the tuth. A few days after release and this game is not cracked yet? Whatever happened to the old days when games would be released before they hit the stores all cracked. Is this normal or this game just uses some crazy activation method?
I think the last game I downloaded was the Transformers game and before that I had not downloaded a major PC game in probably over a year. I'm surprised that this game is not cracked yet though.
It's also interesting how there used to be so many movie releases a while ago and now the only thing released are very crappy CAM releases for the first 2 weeks or so. I guess the best pirate warez groups have been put behind jails already.
I can think of 2 games right now that were also a royal pain in the ass to crack! King Kong and Suffering 2 Ties That Bind. Both use starforce! I think I may just get the xbox version so I don't have to worry about how many times I can install it and rootkits and shit like that! But the price is fucking atrocious!!:angry:Quote:

Wow they actually accept that excuse?
I didn't think anyone takes returns on software. Especially not on games haha
Most don't these days but I must admit I did it a few times :D
Buy the new games at a cheap price and share the old games, thats my thing. I dont think new games should cost 50 or 60 dollars tho, which is why when i buy new games , i buy them at 30 or 40 dollars.
About trying to get around the anti piracy system, well as i said go out and support the new games and share the old ones. If bioshock is at a 50 or 60 dollar price tag, i would suggest you wait it or download a version, and buy it when the price drops.
