Bioshock

[BadMoon]

Anyone with a 360 please download this demo now. It is up and it is Next Gen without a doubt. Enjoy! :monkey5:monkey5:monkey5

[The Josh]

I've got this on order from Game Stop. They got some kind of super special edition with all kinds of crap. Will pick it up and play then.

Josh I am telling you this game rules. It starts off like Lost. You are in a plane crash some stuff happens. The you realize you are in a world of a different type of politician. One that wanted nothing to do with WWII. It is really strange and oh so good.

[hairlesswookiee]

been playing it all day and its way better than i thought it would be.
~~ dont forget about the stranglehold demo too.

I really didn't like the stranglehold game. It felt like I was on ice skates and not real. I really think Gears of War ruined some games for me. Same as Resistance for the PS3. My expectations are so high now. This is truely a good time to be a gamer. :rock:rock:rock:rock:rock:rock

I had forgot about the demo today thanks for reminding me.

You will love it. 1 week to go and it is ours! :chew

[SSC_Nerd]

I really enjoyed the demo more than I thought it would. I'm a BIG fan of the 1940's art direction. Always liked that look.

Cool! I've read lots of good things about the game. So I'm looking forward to it. :)

me too. that was the first thing i said as i got out of the submarine.

[Shropt]

This game rocks so much. The download was taking forever last night so I was just going to play a few minutes before work this morning. 30 minutes later I looked at the clock and freaked. Damn game almost made me late!

[WetaWork]

I absolutely love this game.

I felt so immersed in Rapture. IMO, by far the best use of sound in any game ever. The 50's art work and music feel so right and the AI reacts differently and says different things each time I replay. Splicers were popping out in different places than previous play throughs.

This is the one that will pull me away from LOTRO for a bit.

If you don't have 5.1 surround sound and an HDTV, your not doing this game justice. Lower the lights and crank up the sound. It's time to get lost in Rapture...

[Deak Starkiller]

*Sigh* 4 hours and only 47% dl'ed. :monkey2

[hairlesswookiee]

*Sigh* 4 hours and only 47% dl'ed. :monkey2

are you kidding me??? it took me maybe 20 minutes.

[Shropt]

Took me all night to download that demo. I think the server is getting rocked on this one.

By the way, I beat the demo last night. Not since Resident Evil 1 has a game screwed with my head so badly. Sleeping was definately a bit rough last night.

[bagelsncheesey]

Downloaded it last night, the game kicks ass, pure and simple. Definitely a must buy :rock

I just played the demo and it was pretty f'n awesome. Anyone notice this looks like a bit of a teaser for the Force Unleashed? A lot of things that are pretty close to Force powers and using them in combos. Too many great games coming our right now but I'll get this as soon as they do a price reduction.

[Seaward]

I read on Kotaku and Joystiq that some TRU's were selling Bioshock early, so I skipped downloading the demo and tried to hit up a couple of stores. They all had gaps where it should have been. and one employee told me that they got a memo to pull the product off the shelves until next week. I always get my hopes up with broken street dates! Aaaargh. Oh well, Tuesday will be here fast enough.

Yep! I missed it too.

[IronFingaz]

I just played the demo and i'm officially hooked. Great grafics and love the '40's style:rock A bit creepy though but will definatly get this when it comes. Does anyone know if the game will be released in a collector's edition? I think i saw something once but can't remember.

[BadMoon]

IGN Just reviewed it. They gave it a 9.7. They are very tough on games. Enjoy! http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/813/813214p1.html

[tomandshell]

I downloaded the demo last night and found it to be pretty interesting. I really liked the retro level design and the use of shadows, dark and light, water, etc. made the look and feel of the game very cinematic and evocative. The powerups like whiskey, etc. boosting your health while damaging your energy, or vice versa, made it a little more strategic than just running around and picking up every item in sight.

My one major gripe--and it's pretty major in my opinion--is the inability to use both a weapon with your right hand and a plasmid attack with your left at the same time. I have become so used to duel wielding in games that the inability to do so really bugged me and being forced to switch back and forth between one or the other irritated me. I assume that progessing through the game does not grant you the ability to duel wield, but if that does happen then my biggest complaint would vanish. I would love to run around incinerating one zombie with my left hand while shooting another with the machine gun in my right.

But I can still see this being one of the big hits of the year, and probably one of the eventual 360 all time classics.

very impressive. the score alone should warrant the purchase. because of the prices of new games i limit purchases to games that only get 8.5 or higher.

Yep I would agree with you. That is a pretty good measure with IGN.

[Seaward]

Every preview seemed to indicate that this game was going to be more than just an average shooter. I can't wait for Tuesday, gotta finish Metroid (download) on the Wii before then!

Do they have a Wii metroid demo up?

[IronFingaz]

Is F.E.A.R. for the Xbox360? How is it? I'v been thinking about getting it since it's pretty cheap now.

[Vader AL]

How's F.E.A.R.? I'v been thinking about getting it since it's pretty cheap now.

yeah i bought it when it went down in price and i love it. i'm a huge fan of 3rd person shooters and this one has good graphics...not stellar but good, and smart AI. The story is pretty decent and i think it's a great shooter.

[Seaward]

Do they have a Wii metroid demo up?

They have some cool videos for Metroid, but no playable demos (one is really cool about a super computer that might bring back some memories.... http://www.gametrailers.com/player/23490.html) They are having Metroid month though, and the original Metroid came up as a download. I figured it would be fun to run through the 8-bit version before the latest one came out, but got bogged down in the immense amount of backtracking required! If I can beat Ridley tonight, maybe I'll get to bed at a reasonable hour.:lol

[hairlesswookiee]

just remember: JUSTIN BAILEY!!!

[The ill Jedi]

Damn, I just saw a commercial for this and it looks AMAZING!! I am lobbying for an XBOX for X-Mas, but we'll see how that goes. I have to play this, Gears of War and Halo 3.

[Fritz]

I saw the trailer and it looked ok but it didn't draw me into wanting to play the game. But you guys talked me into it, I'm downloading the demo now.

were you intoxicated??? just play the demo and you'll like it.

[devlinboy]

the demo was fun, but i prefer more realistic shooters. this is fun though and i will def try and get a copy down the line.

[Fritz]

were you intoxicated??? just play the demo and you'll like it.

Ok so I played the demo and it's fun and the graphics are very nice but what's the big deal? I'm not blown away more so than any other FPS. I'll play it eventually but I'm not going to rush out and get it. But then again, I'm not going to rush out and get Halo 3 either. What can I say, I've been spoiled by Gears of War and nothing else compares. :o

[tomandshell]

I'll have to get around to finishing Gears of War one of these days. I only got about a quarter of the way into it and then gave up.

:o

[tomandshell]

For those of you who might be interested, you can download regular and high res versions of a PDF of the Bioshock Concept Art Book:

:o

Gears actually surprised me, for the gameplay there was just enough variety in what you do to keep me interested, and it also helped that the different Acts got shorter and shorter (the last Act is really short) But what was really great was doing coop because then we could revive each other and take out enemies easier (the AI is horrible for the good guys).

I tried the Bioshock demo, quite short but that is really crazy, probably the most scary game I've played, and the graphics are great too.

[hairlesswookiee]

great news: gamepro has rated it a 5.0 out of a possible 5.0 the first from this generation of games to get the highest rating. looks like this is gonna give halo 3 a run for its money.

no doubt about that...SO MANY great games(games that I like anyway). luckily my girlfriend will be back in nursing school so she won't miss me.

[hairlesswookiee]

yup... well im not gonna be able to buy this game on tuesday because of car related issues. so im gonna rush to blockbuster and see if they'll have it on the shelf. hopefully i'll be able to buy it before halo comes out so i can log some game time.

[Ashton16]

This is pretty much what they all did with the "Riddick" game, isn't it?

Everyone went absolutely apesh#$ over a mediocre game that simply looks real pretty and gave it 9's and 10's on their reviews.

I played the "Bio" demo last night and wasn't blown away by any stretch of the imagination. It doesn't suck but it isn't God's gift to gaming.

Basically just imagine "Condemned" meets "Riddick".

So even still, "Rainbox: Vegas" is the best bet on the 360.

[blue_rogue]

I've barely touched my 360 since GOW was released. Alot of that had to do with my HDTV crapping out on me New Year's Day, and being without it for a couple of months. But there haven't really been any games I've been interested in so far this year either.

That's all about to change very soon. I'll be getting Bioshock and I'm also looking forward to Mass Effect, Too Human and, of course, Halo 3. There's probably another game or two that I can't think of off the top of my head.

[darthviper107]

Well, there's also TimeShift, and Call of Duty 4, which the Beta will be starting sometime soon.

That is not the case. You sir have some reading to do IMO. There will be endless ways to kill your enemies. Many different types of powers. The demo isn't even barely a taste of what you will be able to do. I don't remember being able to posess my foes in Rainbow Six. Do you? :monkey3

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/813/813214p1.html

[hairlesswookiee]

and Riddick is still one of the best games for the original xbox. dont care what anyone says. read the reviews on it, i played the crap out of it and its a great game.

[Vader AL]

yeah the bioshock demo didn't even touch the surface of what the gameplay is going to be like. tuesday is almost here.....dang it, still have to finish F.E.A.R.

[BadMoon]

I am working on Resistance Fall of Man myself. Then it will be a rush to finish Bio-Shock before the grand mutha Ferrrr comes out. That being Halo 3. I love the multiplayer! Can't wait!

[hairlesswookiee]

me neither.... 4 player co-op!!!! co-op is what made the first game IMO. if it wasn't for that it would've been just another FPS. halo 2 was sold because of the awesome online play, but remember the first game didn't have that until someone figured out how to hack system link.

[DouglasMcc]

Quick heads up - Circuit City is advertising the regular edition of BioShock for 49.99 (10 dollars cheaper than everyone else). If you don't want to shop there, you might be able to get other major retailers to price match (I know Best Buy and Wal-Mart price match them).

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle!

[DouglasMcc]

Also, if anyone picks up the collector's edition from Gamestop/ EB and decides they do not want the Big Daddy figure, then LMK. Willing to pay 15 bucks for him. I was going to buy the CE, but I have 40 bucks in Reward Zone credit from Best Buy so I am going to be be able to get the reg. version for like 12 bucks after price match. I want the Big Daddy figurine, but can't rationalize spending an extr 62 bucks to buy the CE at Gamestop.

P.S. This offer is good til I get one. If you get tired of him down the road and remember this post, then LMK.

[Grange Wallis]

Hey all, little late on the topic. I can't wait to play this game on my 360!!! Seen the Video Review on IGN.com has got me even more pumped for this game! Can't wait!

I'm avoiding the demo as I want to play it through!

[darthviper107]

This game is seriously crazy, I can't wait for it. I wish there was a multiplayer but oh well, the single player is awesome. I wonder how long it took for them to make the game, it's extremely detailed.

[BadMoon]

Faceplate anyone??? :rolleyes:

[BadMoon]

I went everywhere today at lunch. It looks like everyone is keeping with the street date. I checked K-Mart, Walmart, and a Gamestop. I also called the EB that I have the game pre-ordered at. No dice. :monkey2

[Natrix]

I started playing it on Sunday...:monkey1

When is the offical release date? I might just buy one (even though I don't own a 360 yet) so I can have it when X-mas time comes! :D

[tomandshell]

Bioshock comes out tomorrow. I have an opportunity to get it for only $4, so I think I will pick it up.

[Bardoon]

Damn, this is probably some of the biggest hype for a brand new game I've seen in a while. No doubt it has gotten RAVE reviews and is already commanding high prices on eBay...wow!

I'm going to get the PC version since I got a PS3. My brother is getting the X-Box 360 version...in fact, he pre-ordered the limited edition set....and no,he's not selling it.

The only reason it was getting high prices is because some TRU's broke the street date last week and people were willing to pay to get it early, which is really stupid in my opinion.

[darthviper107]

I'm going PC, just because it's cheaper right now.

Ummmm, care to share :confused:

Yeah whats up with that? Anyways I hacked tonight in the demo. I haven't figured that out yet. Very cool!

Game Stop called my special edition will be in tomorrow. I may run and go get it depending on how tired I am after the first day of school.

i plan on running up to blockbuster as soon as they open tomorrow... hopefully i can beat it before its due back.

Hopefully they won't screw you out of it. I've heard of horrible stories of people preordering a game from Gamestop just to have them give copies to other stores or just sell them to people.

been preordering from them from years and never had this happen to me. i think they only resort to this after 48 hours of a person not picking up the game.

[IronFingaz]

I had to preorder the collector's edition for the 360 yestday from game.co.uk because all the danish stores are sold out. So this morning i turn on my computer and there's a mail from them. At first i was like "oh ****** they can't get it or some s***" but they just wanted to let me know that it's being precessed so i will get it this friday when it's released in the UK and denmark:rock

Also getting pre-owend Halo and Halo 2 so i can play them for the first time before getting Halo 3.

[bagelsncheesey]

Get it man! The first day of school is always the easiest :D

[kain4521]

I am going to pick it up on my lunch break and then I get to stare at it untill quiting time.

[Vader AL]

Well I finished F.E.A.R. over the weekend so I'm ready for BioShock. Will pick it up tonight, if BB doesn't have the Collector's edition I'm fine with the regular. Let the giant flood of great games begin!

[Shropt]

I want this game. Circuit City has it for 49.99 instead of 59.99. What are the chances I'll actually get it at that price?

[BadMoon]

I picked it up! I got the collectors at EB. The box is huge. Now I just have to wait to get out of the office. :chew

[kain4521]

I have the regular on order I am going to see if I can't get the CE. If I dont I can live with it but there is no way I could pass on the Halo 3 Legendary editon.

[KrisSolo]

Got my email from Game - the CE is on it's way!!! :chew:chew:chew

Only been looking forward to this game for a little over a year... a few more days won't hurt... :)

NO SPOILERS PLEASE, THANKS!!!!

[Darth Loki]

I wanted to wait to get this game cheaper, but if I run by CC and they have it for $50, I'll be picking it up tonight.

It period music (and before you reply BadMoon, I mean music from the period of time the city was originally built ... the 1950's ... shame on you Moon for even thinking such things :D) and I think it's pretty cool. Don't have the collector's edition but managed to find the soundtrack "online". If you hate it ...well, it's going to be a long trek through Rapture.

[DouglasMcc]

I was going to pick up the CE despite the 40 dollar certificate I had at BB, but the only copy left had a broken drill as well, and I do not trust companies who say, "oh, we'll fix it later". So, if anyone has a non-broken figure, I will gladly trade you a brand new copy of 300 on Blu-Ray. Come on, a 30 dollar movie for your little figure ... do it! :monkey3

Listen if you would have picked up the collectors then you would understand that you are a complete moron. Thank you drive through! It is not from the game sountrack at all. It is fricking Moby and it sounds like I just walked into a gay bar by accident. Simmer down there chief. I would suggest next time not making comments until you know what the heck you are talking about. :D

FYI Moby is a techno artist and I hate techno!

P.S. I happen to think the SOUNDTRACK of the game circa 1950's is quite cool.

[Seaward]

Did any stores other than EB/Gamestop get the Collectors box with the Big Daddy figure? I should have pre-ordered, but they stopped 'em late last week, and I have a few Best Buy bucks lying around...

The demo was great, with a creepy vibe. The hacking puzzles were kinda interesting, but not too tough, just an interesting touch. I can't wait to play more of the game and get to meet Atlas and his family, because he comes off way too nice.

Not sure where the anger came from. Well, if the soundtrack I downloaded off bittorrent is the game soundtrack, and you got Moby ... hmm ... who exactly got screwed in that deal? :D

Sorry, the torrent was labeled BioShock soundtrack, so I assumed it was the one that came with the CE.

No worries. Not too mad. Just don't like it when someone comes in my thread and trys to tell me whats what. Back to the issue at hand though I myself was really disappointed with the soundtrack. I thought I was going to get some cool renditions of 1950's music. Instead I am treated to techno slash trance dance music. Again, not my cup of tea. All is well. :D

Okay, should have read the readme file DUH! .... The seeder felt the same way about the PC version's music soundtrack so he ripped the music from the PC version. I rather enjoy the mood music from the game. Oh well, back to Rapture.

P.S. It's the "Soundtrack to the guy who delivered the Master DVD to the printer for Manufacturing" Official Soundtrack. It's comes with the Borat seal of approval 8-).

[hairlesswookiee]

cant wait to start unlocking some achievements. i managed to get to blockbuster today after they got the shipment of games but before they managed to get them on the shelves.

[Darth Loki]

Well, I caved :o

Went to CC and there was no one to help so I got some clueless employee to check in the back (they had no copies on the floor) and he grabbed one for me. I hope that wasn't someone else's pre-order :D

Haven't played it yet though. That will have to wait til the weekend.

[darthviper107]

I don't think circuit city does preorders do they?

[hairlesswookiee]

so how far have you guys gotten?? i've only been playing for about an hour so not very far but its been great. i just got the fire plasmid... not in the same spot as in the demo!!!!

[kain4521]

I love it I think my fav plasmid is winter blast.

[BadMoon]

I must say I haven't played for too much yet. I am making sure that I miss nothing. I look over a room at least 3 times and hack everyting. I love this game. I have not had this much fun since Gears of War! This game is all it is cracked up to be thats for sure!

[darthviper107]

I'm trying to download it with Steam but the Steam servers are too full and I can't start the download yet. I hope it works tomorrow.

I have a 360 but I can't go out and buy the game (at least at a store) and the PC version is cheaper.

:rotfl :lol

- you could tell the 360 was being pushed too hard
- I also wonder how much better the graphics would’ve been had they not been compressed to fit on a DVD
- Now I do not fault the developers for this, they only had so much system power to work with so maybe this will all be addressed with the PS3 version when it comes out.
- To conclude, let this game cook in the oven just a little bit longer and wait for the superior PS3 version.

:rolleyes:

[hairlesswookiee]

yeah i laughed while reading the article. total fanboy oblivion. the 2k developers of the game have stated numerous times that its only on the 360. either way they said they had no problems whatsoever with the programming of the game. and i have yet to notice the game "pushing" the system too hard.
~~on a side note i love the responses people are leaving to his game review. im sorry, but when countless other sites can give it 9/10 or 5/5 how can you even consider this an unbiased review??

[hairlesswookiee]

has anyone encountered a big daddy yet??? i like how it tells you how many little sisters are in each level when you are in the pause screen.

[BadMoon]

No big daddys yet. I got to the part where the doctor was operating and had to shut it off. I am going through very slowly making sure I don't miss a thing. What a game! As for the PS3 reviewer that gave the game a 5 out of 10. He should be forced in a padded room with only a TV and a DVD player that only plays Uwe Boll movies. That way he can see what the definition of mediocracy really is. :D

P.S.
God I wish I was a kid again and just call of work for the hell of it. I would play this damn game all day!

Done!:cool:

[bagelsncheesey]

no thread for gamertags yet? :monkey2

[Vader AL]

no thread for gamertags yet? :monkey2

there is one somewhere around here.

[Bardoon]

I got the PC version and it is fantastic!!!

The game is great with some spectacular graphics...especially all the water graphics. And those Big Daddys are NASTY...I really have to debate whether I want to attack them or not when I see them...but I tackle them to get the Little Sisters.

If there is one complaint I got it's that the combat can get kind of confusing and with trading between your guns and your plasmids and then switching WITHIN those subcategories can get kind of tricky when you have a bunch of Splicers after you. You lose a bit of control over your choices but it does keep you on your toes.

An "auto-first aid" pack feature might be nice as well...so you don't have to click the button to use it all the time. Then again, I'm not far enough in the game to see whether that option is one of my upcoming tonics.

[BadMoon]

Fought my first couple big daddys. What a pain. LOL! But very fun! Well just thought I would give a quick post. Back to the game! :chew

[tomandshell]

I definitely prefer hypnotizing the Big Daddies and having them stomp alongside me and defend me.

I also like setting the mutants on fire and watching them run to water to douse the flames, and then sending an electro shock into the water to fry them and finish the job.

Or freezing them solid and then smacking them with a wrench and shattering them to pieces.

Etc.

:D

[BadMoon]

What type of player are you guys? I am already seeing people on Gamefaqs bragging how they beat it in 8 hours. I am very **** when I play a game. I like to let no stone unturned. Do you consider these guys cool? Or are they just people not taking the time to truley appreciate the game? OH and yes I am done for the night. I was starting to get pissed so quit for a little.

I agree! I am really going through it with a fine tooth comb and I am taking forever. I even noticed a resawn think with the big daddys. I though that once you killed something it was dead. I guess that is not so once you leave a room and come back to it.

[Darth Loki]

I have a feeling I'll be playing through this game many times. I just love the atmosphere. I almost want to wait until it's dark to play because it's so damn creepy. I'm only about an hour in, close to the same point the demo ended and I love it. Picking up a lot of little tricks I didn't learn from the demo. Too bad I won't get to play at all tomorrow (damn fantasy football draft)

Ok I am at one part where a big daddy keeps respawning. How frustrating. I kill him then he is there again and the little sister dives in a hole in the wall. If you don't get her does the bid daddy always reappear? :monkey4

I like to sit and enjoy a game, that's the point of dropping $60 bucks on one! I think that achievements are a really sweet bonus, and I won't lie, i'm big into achievements. But to me, they are earned through replay value, not just blitzing through a game.

So yeah, i'm with ya :rock

yes i believe to stop them from coming back you have to either harvest them or save the sisters to keep the big daddys from coming back. im stuck at a point with no first aid packs. i keep dying and regenerating right next to where i died with no chance of getting an aid pack. there's two big daddys in the vicinity. either way they won't mess with you if you don't attack them first.

My problem is that the little sister runs away and jumps in a hole.

[hairlesswookiee]

My problem is that the little sister runs away and jumps in a hole.

lol... thats happened to me a couple of times. best thing to do is draw them out into the open where there isn't a hole where she can jump into. if you kill him quickly enough she usually sticks close to him. i use the shock on him because it stuns him for a second and while he can't move i blast away with my armor piercing tommy gun rounds.

[BadMoon]

Cool thanks. I kept doing the same thing over and over. I was like what the hell come here you little b&%$h. It didn't help the situation having a couple cold ones under my belt. :monkey3

[hairlesswookiee]

yeah when i got stuck last night i got frustrated and just turned it off.i think i was burned out.

i just learned another neat trick.... big daddys dont really like the bees too much.

Today I got my 360 back, so I downloaded the Demo and just fall in love with this game, will pick it up when I'm back from London next weekend.

Anyways I have been really enjoying this again tonight. What a fun game. To bad for my mans family. LOL! I am now in Aradia.

[tomandshell]

Finished it tonight and enjoyed it quite a lot. It felt rewarding getting to the end after having rescued all of the little girls. I would like to know how it ends for those who chose to harvest them instead--but it was a nice happy ending if you saved them all.

And towards the end, the Big Daddies were going down with two long distance shots from my upgraded crossbow. It was fun.

[tomandshell]

I played it for 48 hours straight.

I am on vacation this week, but my son started school so we weren't able to take off and go anywhere. I have been relaxing at home and picked this up on Tuesday and have been playing it practically nonstop since then. I didn't really rush through it, and it's been a lot of fun. My wife did kind of want it over with sooner rather than later due to the violence/scariness (some involving children) and profanity (lots of F bombs in the dialogue, which surprised me) and she didn't want the kids watching it, so I kind of went through it as quickly as possible without ruining the experience or skipping stuff.

On a normal schedule, this would have taken me a while to get through. If you want to get most of the achievements and experience all of the content, it will take even longer. This game has more of a plot and scripted story/backstory than most others, and the more you take the time to listen to all of the scattered tape recordings, etc., the more you will enjoy the experience. And by the time you get to the end, it's all spoiled--so do it right the first time and you will have a lot of fun.

[Darth Loki]

OK, had me worried for a minute that this game was only 5-6 hours long. I'm about a hour in but am taking my time trying to find everything. Can't wait to log some serious hours starting tonight.

[bagelsncheesey]

wow that really sucks... i remember that skit when my dog was a puppy. i went through many remotes and controllers.

yeah it sucks big time :lol i put it down for a second, just a second. was talking to my wife, turned around, and bam, in pieces.

So starteth the 7 hour count down!

[KitFisto]

I must be out of it. I had never heard of this game until a few days ago.

NICE, a Bioshock Marathon!! :rock

It is quite a relief to hear you say that the game is that long, I hate it when I get a game that I love and it is too short. I seriously can not wait to get my hands on this game (and GoW finally)!! :o

[Vader AL]

i'm taking a week off at the end of august and cannot wait to have so many days off with nothing to do(i'm not going anywhere) except be at home when they replace my hardwood flooring in the kitchen. although i'll probably have finished bioshock before then, but i'm taking it slow like a lot of people here so i don't miss anything.

[BadMoon]

Ok I have played all night and half the day today. Still having a great time. I just beat Cohen and am going to see Ryan. I am loving it!

[Bardoon]

I got the game the day it came out and I've been taking my time with it. I'm making sure to check every corner of the maps, listening to every diary, researching every enemy with the camera...I like taking my time with games so I'm going to stretch it out so I can get the whole story.

I'm not big on rushing through games just to get them done,I want to enjoy the whole experience and certainly get my money's worth.

[Darth Loki]

I've played a good 6-7 hours so far this weekend. I'm going through rather slow as well. I'm certainly learning what combos to use against what enemies and the Bid Daddies are getting easier with each meeting.

[hairlesswookiee]

having a hard time with the last boss.... guess i should've spent more time saving the girls than harvesting them. :D

~~~nevermind.....figured out how to take him out pretty easily after dying twice.

[The Josh]

Still need to pick my copy up.

[KrisSolo]

Ok, I don't want to check a walkthrough for fear of spoilers so maybe someone here can help. Does anyone know what the combination of the door in Twilight Fields funeral home is? If it's a major plot element to be revealed later than by all means don't say... but I've looked everywhere and can't find the combination... A cryptic hint would be juicy sweet, thanks! :)

[hairlesswookiee]

i skipped that part and figured i would get the combination later. never got a chance to make it back, but oh well. i have yet to find a complete walkthrough on the net. and for some reason i cant get any of the dang research achievements to unlock.

I seem to remember that the combination to that one was scrawled on a note over on nearby shelf where I picked up a diary. Was it 5477? I can't remember. At any rate, all that is behind the door is a few ammunition rounds and maybe another diary recording. Nothing major.

[The Josh]

Just picked mine up and Madden 08.

The little figure with Bioshock is really kind of cool

[Karma]

There's a problem with the aspect ratio with bioshock.....there working on a fix

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa204/ojhaslam/bsws.png

[darthviper107]

Not quite. Basically, when they developed the game they were developing it in widescreen, then when the time came to make the settings for fullscreen instead of adding black bars at the top and bottom or cutting off the sides they just added some stuff to the top and bottom, so the fix should make it so that widescreen users have what's in fullscreen but also some more on the sides.

[BadMoon]

I dont care if the game is in black and white. It rocks!

[The ill Jedi]

Well, after reading all the good stuff here and all over the net, plus seeing the gorgeous vids of this game, I took the plunge yesterday and bought myself a 360 & Bioshock!! I was also gonna get Gears of War but they were out of stock. I played a bit of Bioshock last night, wow, what an amazing game! Still trying to get the hang of it, but I'll be kickin Splicer ass in no time!! :rock

[Karma]

I'm contemplating getting an elite with bioshock & that should keep me busy till halo 3

[Darth Loki]

This is the first game on the 360 that I just can't stop playing. It is so deep and there are so many different ways to go about killing splices and big daddies. I absolutely love this game!

[IronFingaz]

I can't wait untill tomorrow morning when i get my collector's edition.

Congrats Jedi on the Xbox360 and Bioshock.... and Gears of War, when you get it:D

wise decision.... just remember to take you time and search everything. im giving it a second go around just to get another tour of rapture. and despite the rumors on gamepro from an "inside source" its not coming to the PS3. i believe the lead designer when he says it will only be on the 360.

Thanks for the heads-up Tom! Thought I'd looked everywhere but there it was, next to the coffin... Different combination entirely though - maybe they changed it for the EU version.

Man, can't stop playing this game!!! Simply the best! Eat electro-plasmid you splicer scum!!! :emperor

[Vader AL]

what it excels at is sucking you into it's world. very immersive game.

[The ill Jedi]

Okay fellas, so I just encountered and defeated my first Big Daddy and Rescued a Little Sister.

What have you guys been doing, Rescuing or Harvesting?

[hairlesswookiee]

make sure to rescue them....not to spoil it for you but to get happy endings you have to save the little sisters. im playing through it again because i harvested them at first.

I rescued the first, but like a JERK confused the buttons and Harvested the second, pissed me off! Will it affect me?

[hairlesswookiee]

did you save it before you harvest the second girl??? if so just go back and play from that save and remember to save them from then on.

No, crap!! :banghead I Rescued the next Little Sister though, I better make saving a habit.

[tomandshell]

There is a 100 point Xbox Live Achievement that you will only get if you save all of the girls.

And the temptation to harvest them instead so that you can get extra ADAM is lessened when you start to receive those teddy bears from Tenenbaum as a reward for helping the girls.

Is there any reward for getting lots of Adam?

[Darth Loki]

Saved the first - harvested the rest. I'm a greedy ***** when it comes to my ADAM :monkey1

I'll save them all the second time through though.

Not a good way to play my friend. If you are greedy than you will save them. You get more Adam that way and in the long run and a better ending.

I'll hopefully beat this tonight but I'm getting two new games tomorrow (Tiger Woods and Metriod Prime 3) Those will keep my busy until Halo 3 comes out but I should be able to shave a few hours off this game a second time through. I hate being stuck at work when there are great video games to be played :monkey4

[darthviper107]

Aggh, it's taking too long to download, it's finally going but it's going at like 10kb/s so I won't be able to play it until tonight or tomorrow. But I already tried the demo on my PC and it runs really well. There's other games that have lower graphics quality that I have to run at even lower settings before they'll work on my system, but I only have to lower Bioshock just a little bit. That's pretty good for me though since it's using the Unreal Engine 3 and I really want to do a lot of stuff with Unreal Tournament 3 when it comes out on PC later this year.

Remember, Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer Beta signups at 12pm Pacific today (around 3 hours from now) remember to be registered and signed in beforehand. http://www.charlieoscardelta.com

You guys seemed to have finished the game fairly quickly. Is it as short as it seems? I thought Gears of Wars was short so how does this compare in terms of length of play.

I was still able to unlock all of my empty slots in all categories, so the extra Adam from harvesting must not have been that important. You can also get new powers/upgrades from the U-Invent stations rather than purchasing them with Adam. It doesn't seem like there is that much of an advantage to harvesting them. How much Adam do you get from each one when you harvest the girls?

Tom did you figure out how to get that damn tape recorder under the steps? I can't find the darn crawl space. It's killing me! :banghead:banghead:banghead:banghead:banghead

You guys seemed to have finished the game fairly quickly. Is it as short as it seems? I thought Gears of Wars was short so how does this compare in terms of length of play.

That me say that I played like a mad man on Friday night and all day on Sunday. I would say if you compare it with gears its a little longer but not much. I spent allot of time though wondering around trying to find everything. I am still trying to find some stuff. So while I beat it I'm not 100% done with it. I now have 745 acheivement points out of 1000.

bump. Sorry I need help!!!! LOL!

[Darth Loki]

Just beat it!!! What a great game. The final boss was rather easy but I figured out his tendencies pretty quick. This is a great game and I hope it can hold up it's appeal as I go through it several more times. Easily my favorite game this year but that may change as I'm picking up Metroid Prime 3 tomorrow :D

I took my time with this trying to find as much as I could. It probably took me close to 14 hours to beat it. Now it's time to go through and save all those adorable little girls.

And Tom, you get twice as much adam from harvesting (160)

[BadMoon]

Loki post your ending in the spoiler thread!

but you don't get the "teddy bear gifts" that they lady gives you for saving them though every other girl or so.

thats right and they usually have about 200 adam or so in them.

Yes, the Teddy Bear gifts are nice!!

Thanks for the tip Wookiee!

This game F'N Rules!! :rock

It's a pretty cool game, but it gets harder and harder all the time. :monkey2

That's what's so cool about it!! I also love the U-Invent stuff, making the Armor Piercing rounds comes in handy for fighting Big Daddy's.

I beat the game a couple days ago, Great game! Although I will say it wasn't as good as I was hoping it to be. I still think dead rising, oblivion and even the darkness was better, I had more fun playing those games then Bioshock. Great game but not as great as I was hoping.

I played the Darkness and Dead Rising. You are certainly entitled to your opinion. I will have to disagree though. Again that's just my opinion. Both were fun games but no where near the quality of Bioshock.

[Darth Loki]

Best game on this system by far!!!!

Love Dead Rising but this is just so much deeper.

[darthviper107]

I couldn't stand Dead Rising, but this game is great.

[bagelsncheesey]

Just wait to you play COD4 Beta and you'll change you're opinion.

And I still think Gears is better than Bioshock.

[IronFingaz]

I havn't received mine yet:monkey2 Ordered the C.E. from Game in the UK... They sent it to me last thursday and the other games they shipped seperately the same day i got saturday... I have a feeling some stupid muh-******** stole it:emperor It would just help my nerves a bit if Game would answer my mails:(

[BadMoon]

This game gets 5 out of 5 licks. :monkey5:monkey5:monkey5:monkey5:monkey5

[The ill Jedi]

I give it 5 :rock :rock :rock :rock :rock

:rock :woo

The more I play Bioshock the more I love it, I am totally immersed in it every time I play. If the above statement is true then I can't F'N wait for my GoW to get here. I bought a copy last night on ebay for $32 shipped!! :rock

[hairlesswookiee]

i love GOW and all, but Bioshock takes it easily. the only thing thats kept GOW alive is the multiplayer... IMO they should've spent more time on the singleplayer game too.

I ordered from Game also and mine showed up on release day. But then I'm in the UK so that's probably why. FYI I received no tracking number or courier info whatsoever - strange for Game.

Hope it arrives soon for ya :rock

Oh, and BEST 360 GAME EVER!!!!

To me, GOW is the better game because of overall value. Both games graphics rock, but to me GOW is just a bad ass shootem-up adventure. And the multiplayer kicks ass, especially when you get a group of friends together (there are way too many clans out there killing in ranked matches).

I bet Bioshock would have had a multiplayer if they knew it would be so popular, but that definitely gives hope for Bioshock 2.

Thanks Kris, I just got it today. Unfurtunately the tip of Big Daddy's drill is broken so i have to see if 2K replaces in the EU. But everything else is fine and i can't wait to start playing the game.
The tracking numbers they gave me were the same as the order numbers:confused:

[darthviper107]

I really want to get that LE version, but then I wouldn't have enough money for Halo 3, and that would suck.

[darth dypshyt]

Just bought a copy of Bioshock Collectors Edition from a local Harvey Norman (computer and electrical goods chain in Australia), and I was lucky, cause man these are hard to find!

Can't wait to start playing, but, will have to wait until I get back from my trip to the US..:chew

[Darth Loki]

Just got the last audio book :rock:rock:rock

Finally got to playing this and this game is totally awesome. Already among my faves on the 360 for sure and I'm not a big 1st person shooter fan. However, this game doesn't sniff GOW. Both have great graphics but I think GOW is better in that department and then you toss in the multi. The story is a little too short on GOW but not short enough to hurt the fun factor 4 me.

I played through GOW 3 times and can't even begin to count the hours spent online. I, after careful judgment will still also have to give it to GOW. Now the 20 day or so wait until Halo 3!

[The ill Jedi]

I'll let you guys know which is the better game when I get my Gears of War this week. :cool: :D
