[Multiplatform] Bioshock. Available on Wii 12/5/2010

My PCs ready for it full power.

This will be the dark horse for me this year as its against my other FPS anticipated titles UT3, Crysis, and HL2:Episode 2/Portal. I've been looking forward to this PC game for a while as I enjoyed System Shock (lol wtf no thread was made thus far).

The big thing for me is: Can this top the gravity gun's innovative fighting elements?

Just an FYI Helloween, you'll need quite the laptop to play this. I'm fairly certain it uses a new engine that had it not been for the 360 version, it may have used DX10 and really pushed its limits. I think this year is a good time to get back into PC gaming. FPSs here and Spore coming as well.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just as a reference for others, I was running in DX9 mode (XP) at max settings (1280x1024) with the following hardware:

8800 GTS (640MB)
Core2Duo E6600 @ 2.4 GHz (stock)
2GB RAM

And everything was perfectly smooth.

::mrburns::

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeexcellent.

I've matched those specs and I've got the 8800GTX. I'd rn out and get another if it didn't max out (for Crysis). No overclocking, I assume, so you should have no problems.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh, well the questions are dumb and you're a fucking faggot for not buying the game. Try buying your game and we'll see about being nice to you.

Because we assume that the internet is full of good people. Especially those who complete a game by the release date. He's thinking "Why buy the game now that I've completed it?" I buy my games and I buy my software because I'm not a cocksucking greedy SOB.

So it means you CAN pirate underrated, underhyped games?

No, it means that we know you can afford to shell out the cash for it and if its such a great game, you should respect the makers of it for their brilliance.

The only exception I've found is shit like Microsoft products that force you to overspend on operating systems and software for compatibility. Microsoft is the only software company I've ripped off and worst comes to worst, I use Linux.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Usenet had it 5-6 days ago, actually.

IGN said that the controls were better on the PC version, especially in regards to changing weapons or plasmids.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Speaking of which, fully upgraded Shotgun FOR THE WIN. I haven't had this much fun with the shotgun since Gears. =D

Same with the PC. Although, the last comment regarding the splicers bothers me as it adds to the easymode status of the game. :\

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm about 9 hours in Normal Difficulty and I've yet to die. I don't use the imba wrench, but I'm trying to keep to one plasmid and one gun per area to try to restict myself that way. And of course, I'm keeping in mind the options for using the surroundings to kill people.

Its a shame Brawl, Crysis and Galaxy are out much later in the year..

I have a question about the endings:

Spoiler:

I assume that no matter what, you end up mauling Andrew Ryan. Is this where the different endings branch off? I ask because I rescued the little sisters all game and I figured that now I'm at their little hideout, its because I rescued them. Save point here and hopefully finishing tomorrow!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Irony stems from that, Jimlad, especially if you pirate the game. They then have more reason to install the software and if people bought the games in the first place, there would be no issue. Microsoft has done this for ages with their Operating Systems and people continue to use Windows.

The video is about how privacy is dead. Securom is nothing compared to most of what's out there. The company is simply trying to make sure they're earning their money for their product.

And Jimlad, you might not know how to crack it, but someone else does. And they know how to share. And you know how to share. And the people that get it know how to share it with others who share....

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

For someone bitching so much about the EULA, I bet a fat stack of Ace Combat 6 posters that at least 99.9% of you didn't read the whole thing before installing. You just scrolled down, said "I agree," and played the game.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Sure, just give me full keyboard and mouse support and port every PC game to the 360 along with additions (map editors and such), downloadable content (and not just map packs and official release crap) and I'll consider it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Now, would ya kindly talk about God of War 3 elsewhere.

Has anyone else had problems with hearing little sister and big daddy to turn a corner and not find her there? Then of course on completion of the level, it tells you that you've yet to rescue them all? I went back through the whole place and counted up the corpses and didn't find the girls. :\

Lets pretend I waited 5 minutes and he's just strolling around and eventually I drop a proxy mine to forget he's there. He trips it so naturally, I kill him. She's still not around. Great! Now he won't wander around to drop her off.

Slayer, regarding that, are you talking about footsteps sounding like they come from one area but are actually from another? I hear them coming from the left but nobody is there. I've got 5.1 Surround, so it REALLY feels weird.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah that's what I mean. I've got 5.1 also. It's the worse when you hear it from the "left" look "left" and get pounded from the "right". (Used "**" because it can be any combination of directions)

If the game were more of a mental experience (I've yet to finish the game, so if it is, then don't let me know), it would make sense, but even so, its inconsistent with the rest of the gameplay, short of flashbacks.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Okay, now that you're done assuming I'm retarded and have had the wrong setup for years, I'm quite certain that this is an actual issue. The problem with the big daddy spawns isn't in a lack of them, I said its a lack of LITTLE SISTER being there.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Iwata, first source I looked at said that the DX9 PC version looks the same as the 360 version and that the DX10 on PC was better.

Insider: Head-to-Head: BioShock

Yes, they don't want you to know it. *gasp Insider*

So, before I check another source, should we say unanimously minus IGN? Or are they biased against something they rated a 9.7?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Nor has 99% of the population playing it. Same was in Oblivion and other series from the PC that got ported to the 360. Its like playing an expansion to a game you've never played. Of course its all new and cool and stuff.

Fixed first person view. When your guy gets knocked down (big daddy), the camera acts as if you're looking up from the floor. Nothing stellar.

If you're referring to using a widescreen monitor and having that issue with the visible screen, yeah, its still there.
