Official Bioshock Thread

[geneshifter]

I Am still getting mine. The re4 gamecube gamestop was all tin and no content. I prefer content. the tin is nice but I think they are trying to save money. It still looks nice though. batman rise of sin zu collectors was cardboard and it really wasn't that bad.

Yeah, I hear you and I agree. I'm going to still pick up my LE but I'm also going to import the steel case from the UK. I just have to have that for collecting purposes.

EDIT: You may be interested in knowing that the soundtrack CD only has 3 tracks and last for about 12 minutes. This is information coming from the official forums. I'd rather skip that crap and have the steel case but that's me.

Does anyone know what the PC specs are? I'm sure they're astronomical, and I'm sure you have to have Vista installed.

FYI: Bioshock will be $49.99 (360) and $39.99 (PC) at Circuit City next week. Nice.

[diskoboy]

PC Demo coming tomorrow.

I've got a LAN center and am holding off on Vista so I know for a fact that you don't need Vista for this one, and my LAN PC's at 3ghz or so handle the game just fine. Don't hesitate, get this one.

Finished the demo, I hit stuff with a wrench, shot em with a gun and a machine gun. And used that lightning bolt from the left hand.

All the same FPS junk, in yet another dark ruins setting.

True. So why can't I stop playing? Why am I thinking about actually taking money out of my wallet and buying it?

I can stop, I did stop. I'll pick this one up after the price drop. The atmosphere is good & creepy, the gameplay is fine for what it is, but nothing's really pressing me to buy this one immediately.

Looking very good. The video review on IGN really makes me want to get this on PC. Looks fun.

Everything in this game obviously went towards atmosphere.. the fire & water in the beginning was pretty nice, etc. But I dunno, the atmosphere it created just isn't very appealing to me.

And in the end it just seems like more tedious crap

I should have said this earlier..

You're crazy for not wanting this game!

:P

I agree to *some* extent, although I loved the setting and art direction - the atmostphere. The game looks and especially SOUNDS excellent. It definitely felt creepy walking though some halways. I thought that was pretty unique among FPS's, if not games in general these days. The gameplay itself, well, it played fine. I didn't really see anything different in the demo than any other FPS. Which isn't a bad thing, it's just not my favorite genre. I still might pick it up, they hype is getting to me

Good god, is that man ever a fucking jackass. Find something better to do with your time, Jack, or just go and die. Please.

Nah, he'll never stop. This is how he's making the big bucks from morons that support him.

I saw that on the xbox forums. He needs a new life.

[Nate Nanjo]

Wow, great that he still attacks Take-Two/Rockstar, when they had nothing to do with the game.

I also like, how he noticed it during Smackdown. Like that is a children's program anyways. (I mean look at the Diva's)

[JPeeples]

It certainly isn't a kid's show, but Jack is correct in stating that the show does have a fairly young audience. Still, nothing in the ad shown on SD was violent, so he doesn't remotely have a leg to stand on here. The M rating was also featured in the ad.

[Sothy]

I like how he noticed it watching a show where sweaty men grope eachother.

I think Jack has other "issues" going on he needs to deal with.

I just picked up the limited edition without a preorder. It is clearly one of the better one in a long time the box size is about 5oblivions col ed stack together. Well worth the 10 bucks. Now off to work
