Bioshock $2 today! (November 20, 2010)
« on: November 20, 2010, 12:53:42 PM »
Got this from Cyper's shared RSS items

Personally, I've never played the game but for $2 I'll give it a go.

I've played it and as far as I'm concerned I'm not sure it's even worth $1.99 IMHO

I'd buy that for a dollar!!!!

....no, wait. Two dollars. Actually, I remember playing it and for a thorough single player game (despite the widescreen fiasco when it was launched) I think it's worth $10, so $2 is a bit of a steal.

Well, the download goes fast enough. You gotta get it over games for windows live, but you can extract the files from the 8-odd .rar files and install it from there and not have GFWL mess with it at all after that.

It's a fully updated Bioshock, so it runs with DX10 and looks great. It also, UGH, still uses the authentication system. So in order to play it, you need to be online so it can verify with the servers with a code. Had I known that, I wouldn't have dropped the money on it (which is why I think I never bought it), but as it only cost me $2..... I can deal with that.

All in all... yeah. It seems to take a little bit of time to boot up, but maybe it's just me. Still a cool game. DX10 and EAX/5.1 make it pretty nifty.

HAHA

"Due to the overwhelming success of the Age of Empires III sale, we have temporarily run out of keys to unlock the game. You can still buy the game at this amazing price and you will get a key in the next week. When new keys are added to the system you will be auto-assigned a key, there is no need to call support or take any other action from your end. We will post information on the forums and on the website when the keys are available and the next time you click 'View Game Keys' for the game you should be assigned one."

I got it, and it turns out that it's AoE3 and both of the expansions as well!

Yeah, I was really wishing you could gift games with GFWL when I saw that. I used Microsoft points instead of paying 10 cents, because I had 160 points left over from the last time I bought a game on XBLA. It was 10 points instead of 10 cents, so I could have bought a bunch of copies!

Must play some AOE3 this weekend. Been so long since I played.

Damnit! I missed this! I'll pay someone a quarter for their copy, c'mon, it's a 250% ROI. AOE is the only RTS I could really get into. I are a sad pterodactyl :(
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!
