Bioshock

[Sl!m]

So who's playing bioshock and what are your thoughts?

I just started playing on friday and im pretty impressed.

It's the first game in a while that I have been able to sit down and start to play and not realise a few hours have gone pass...

So far the story and all is pretty interesting and freaky

What path have you gone down so far? save the little sisters or kill 'em ?

this time I have chosen to kill them, I will go back again and do it the other way after i finish it i think.

A good friend of mine is really in to it. I saw him play for about 5 minutes, didn't really grab me. I've heard nothing but good reports though, guess I'll have to sit down and give it a go sometime.

Great game, loved it all the way through. Definately recommend it as it's the first game I've sat through and played till the end in a LONG time

d/l from steam or copy? i dont think theres a working crack for it yet

[R31Nismoid]

I know of a downloaded copy thats been working for 4-6 weeks now.

I havent played it, but seen it a few times, looks interesting.

farked if I know... its a full distro of it from LOLCAT. they had a previous release which was nuked cos it didn't work, apparently this ISO works. Its been trickling thru at 5kbps for the last week... irc fservs

If it works when you get it, it will all be worth it funky....

I have been playing all weekend.. cant put it down.

it was available 2 weeks before its australian release.

my cousin said it lasted a whole 7 hours before he completed it... and that was taking his time.

sounds like a waste of time to me... is it even playable online or anything?

[Sl!m]

7 hours? thats a load of shit..

7 hours doesnt even get you half way, and its not like i've never picked up a game like this before..

[R31Nismoid]

Yeah 7 hours is i think a bit mystical.

I think it was out more than 2 weeks? Cant remember... the xbox here was having 'dramas' so bioshock only started 'working' last week.

That said the game has been finished and i think that was in about 4-5 days of reasonable playing (so maybe 4 hours/day)

Yeah I finished it after about a week.. not playing every day.. the story line is great! Was abit disappointed in regards to the enemy's. After about the second level you are introduced to every enemy in the game, so it doesn't get much harder after that.

I was told that it is more rewarding to save the little sisters. I haven't played again and gone down the path of harvesting them though. Make sure you explore every single room on every level, or you will miss out on allot of the game.

I bought the PC and 360 version. And i prefer it on 360.

Fantastic game though, still haven't bothered to finish it yet but am getting there.

I loved system shock and it's by the same guys so i think it's awesome.

7 hours? thats a load of shit..

7 hours doesnt even get you half way, and its not like i've never picked up a game like this before..

Yeah thats probably about right. I completed it on the hardest level in about 10 hours. And that was taking my time collecting all the radio's and searching for money etc

I got a cut down version running on my PC, the download was about 4.3GB I think. Tis pretty good but it seems a little hard when you only have a revolver and wrench, I got killed about 7 times by 5 zombie things before killing them all....

[Sl!m]

haha that sounds farked.. full version ftw.

[nissanskyrice]

Just finished it this weekend. now ive gotta go back thru it and rescue all the little sisters and see the different ending.

[Wezz]

you guys played system shock? bio shock is its spiritual succssor...

i am slowly working my way through bioshock... but i think system shock is a much better game... bioshock seems too toned down to work on xbox

[Jago]

how demanding is it on the system? i.e what specs are you guys running?

[Topaz]

I am running a S939 AMD 3700+ @ 2.5Ghz, 7800GTX OC and 2GB of DDR1, its slightly jumpy when the games requires a little more processing power than I have but 96.1337% of the time its seemless at pretty high settings.

haha that sounds farked.. full version ftw.

Well, we'll see I guess. It was actually a 3.41GB .rar file with the game already extracted plus a registry update inside. Once extracted and now that I've played for a bit its 5.57GB
