I didn't expect Bioshock to be dumbed down too much for console users but it's nice to have confirmation. I have bead memories of games like Deus Ex 2 and even PC Oblivion suffered in some respects due to being developed alongside its lesser console version.
Yeah I got used to it; been using it for forever. Ultimately, moving with buttons as supposed to an analog stick, sucks.Quote:

It would have to be specially made for one hand. I dunno if an existing gamepad with analog stick can be used with a mouse but gamepads usually require 2 hands to be comfortable.
Then I guess it wasn't a bad read then. I didn't know Oblivion was a little messed up for the PC.Quote:

I wonder if there'll be Bioshock mods on the PC?:w00t:
This game looks cool, but its far to fucked up for my tastes.
Ahhh I won't be able to play on my computer, its gotten to outdated, now im sad, Bioshock looks so awesome!
First reviews are starting to come out.

A dark and astonishing masterpiece...I spend my career, and my gaming life, waiting for a moment when a game just astonishes me, when I can't believe what I'm seeing, what I'm doing. BioShock has five. [Sept 2007, p.66]

Amazingly written and beautifully constructed, it's a complete emotional rollercoaster which we can't drawn any parallels with...You'll be playing this game for months to come, exchanging story elements to build up the bigger picture, and arguing about what it all means. [Sept 2007, p.88]
The Bioshock is up XBL
however right now XBL is down because of everyone trying to dl it.:ph34r:
Server overload FTL!
I got the demo last about midnight.
The download was slow as sheeeeiiitt!
The geeme is fooking greete!
It's spooky as fuck.
It's playing that old 40's music.
Remember shock then bop (over the head).
When hacking security bots, uncover many tiles (or even all of them), look for what you need, swap, then move to where you wanna put it, swap again.
I deliberately made many of them come out so I could have a team of bots on my side when the barrage of splicers came out.
Search for everything.
Because looks so good and different, I found myself just looking around at shit.
2007 GOTY, so far and I've only played a fucking demo.:noes:
Been waiting for this one, Now if AMD would just release their new processors I could begin to build my new comp. :frusty:
Looks like it has hit the streets (at least the 360 version): http://www.joystiq.com/2007/08/15/so...ioshock-early/
I see it is already available via newsgroup/bittorrent as well.
yea..but then they stopped selling it early: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3161991
Toys 'R Us legitametly sold the copies to boost the hype.
Scenetorrents has the demo if you don't feel like waiting around with slow speeds elsewhere.
Currently downloading at 822kB/s. :happy:
As opposed to the 4kB/s for public sites. :lol:
PC version is $40
360 version is $50
at Circuit City
Just played the demo through twice. :w00t:
The game will definitely live up to its hype, provided its not too short. Doesn't seem like it will be though.
The narrator in the demo is pretty hard to hear, so I took it slow the second time through and learned a lot from from him.
I played it through twice though to check out the replay value. The trailers really built it up to be a different game every time you play it, and it is I guess, but you still have all the same objectives, etc.
Man you may as well had unspoilered what you said.Quote:

1.When you corner a little sister you have the option of harvesting her for her Adam in which case you find out she has a Go'ald serpent inside her or saving her in which case she turns back into a normal girl and you still get half of the Adam.
There is a lady that gives you something to save them. She also protects them (Dr. Tenenbaum). You can fight her.

2. You (can) fight the narrator (Atlas).
3. You can become a Big Daddy. My guess is it has something to do with the choices you make regarding little sisters.
4. You can invent items.
5. You can not only hack security bots but also turrets, vending machines, security cameras, and safes.
6. You fight Andrew Ryan.
I didn't think so either, but I remember a while ago some people being pretty picky....whatever...
I can't wait to start playing the whole thing. It's going to be detrimental to my sleep cycle. :cry:
Yeah me too. I love to just conquer a game quickly but this one looks so great and has such a great atmosphere that I'm liable to fuck around a lot and tread slowly.Quote:

10 mins off Newsgroups :happy:
I'm going to purchase this game twice now as my brother is in need of a birthday present that doesn't suck (I mean really, who needs driving lessons and new sweaters, it's like his family hate him).
just got done with the demo. i'm not sure what to think. all u basically do is walk around in the pc demo. was hoping for 1 mp map. is there mp? lol, better be.
Single player only. :happy:Quote:

The game runs flawlessly on all settings high on my PC (probably because of no AA...) and is pretty damn immense. The demo is a bit linear but hopefully the full game will open up a few more options.
i'm pretty sure there is widescreen support... i remember going through the resolutions and some said Widescreen.
and for anti-aliasing, just manually adjust that with nvidia control panel.
Widescreen support is a bit FUBAR, so I hear..

I've got an ATI card and the control panel doesn't seem to be able to overide the game . . .Quote:

My only complaints are that it is a bit linear, a bit too easy because of the re-gen chambers and I found it a little short.
pc version? also, how many logged hours? i've got the game, but have yet to start. kinda wanna know how many hours imma have to devote to this.Quote:

Of course if your uber elite 8 hours :happy:
Well gave up waiting for a crack and went and bought the game :D
I knhow I wont be rushing this game :P
Done.
All that playing and I get a shit ending like that? :dabs:
well, hopefully when i get home i get to play this. everyone says the game is good, but they keep saying the ending is trash. lol, i keep seeing trailers for this game and it looks as if it may be on the difficult side. i'm used to just run'n gun games. lol, this one seems as though u may have to use ur brain a little more. meh. does the ending leave the game open for a sequal?
really good game
if i left WOW for some time and its because this game , its really good
u left WoW for bioshock? why? once u beat bioshock ur done... WoW on the other hand keeps going for a long while. i'm still playing WoW and will going on to the next exp as well. bioshock would be a break from WoW, but not something that takes it's place.Quote:
