check out the demo. It's kinda short for almost 2 gigs but man does it look good and it plays very smooth even on my old comp. Now i see what all the hype is about.
-
What are the specs?, I would like to try it out. And if I do I will buy it like after Christmas or something. I have a 7800gs will that do?
-
hell yea. It runs everything on high on my rig and i have a amd4000+ and a 7900gtx. looks great and runs really smooth.
-
Wait I just looked Bioshock on Ebgames. Since when do we have to activate games nowadays?
-
I preordered BioShock last night and started playign it this evening. Absolutely incredible game. It has already outscored HalfLife 2 in the reviews.... and I can definitely see why. Holy Sh!t.
Audio/Music: 10/10
Environment: 10/10, extremely immersive.
Gameplay: welll it's a hell of a lot better than I was expecting. Many devs have claimed their FPS as being non-linear... Irrational Games nailed it here. it's still linear, but oh so open as well.
F*ck reviewing the rest of it. The game is kickass. Play it. The demo only offers a very very very small bite. The game... arg! Stop reading this post and play the damn thing already. For that matter, what am I doing typing this....
-
O no doubts man I know it kicks ass, the game is absolutely gorgeous. The water effects alone did it for me. So you just have to activate it if you purchased it through steam? I know they had some issues on launch day with steam, people complained over a couple of hours because it wasn't available that very second.
-
I just watched the trailers for it and damn..it's pretty..I'm def dl'ing the demo like now!
-
I have it on the 360, its great.
-
I played about 10 minutes of the demo on 360....it looks amazing. From the opening crash scene, I didn't realize it was realtime until I moved the controller. Can't wait to play it some more.
-
Downloading the 360 demo now since my PC got pnwd on the way home and I have been working off my Mac.
-
OMG I just wet myself!!! Katamari Demo is out!!! *DANCE* *DANCE* *DANCE*
-
I see my computer is slightly above the minimum requirements except I don't have a sound card (onboard sound). I'll give it a go and see how it handles.
-
Just finished the demo on the 360! WOW!!! JUST WOW!!!
-
The game runs surprisingly well on my system. I have all of the graphics maxed out... I have post processing off, 1024x768 no AA/AF .... it runs at a steady 25+ walking around and dips down to 15-ish in large battles.
6800GT 256 AMP
3200+ A64
1.5gb ram
Yeah, I am pleasantly surprised. I can play a game at 15fps at the very least(my friend thinks I'm insane, but I am used to having low-end hardware pretty much 90% of the time). So yeah, if it runs this well on my crappy hardware, an 8800 and core2 should be smooth as hell.
-
Well that's good, Agent. Our systems have about the same power. The download for the game will be done in 20 minutes for me!
-
this game looks amazing as stated many times above i just wanted to here myself say it. but ive been waiting for this game for over a year now and finaly almost here i hope the story line and game play dont disapoint ive had demos that wer amazing b4 that let me down but not to many :10:
-
Well, I just finished the demo and it was great! However, watching the video "credits" at the end showing different parts of the game to me it doesn't seem all that great. I'll watch for reviews when the full version is out but it looks like there could be a lot of repitition with enemies and sceneries. I could be wrong though.
-
i was thinking the same thing wher level after level its may seem like the same stuff. i really hope this isnt the case cuz the game is beautiful.
-
nitro, Agent sent me this (he's having problems posting):
I should mention that bioshock is so totally unrepetitive. Actually Halflife 2 felt way more repetitive than this. I'm halfway through the game atm, and at no point whatsoever has the gameplay gotten stale. It is continually fresh, intense, and...just wow.
as for reviews, here's the metascore page for it: [url]http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/bioshock[/url]
scroll down for the list of review scores. All in all, this game does not disappoint in the least. It's freaky at night with the lights out, it's psychological, it is immersive, it is daunting(the freaking third level took me 4 hours to get through), it is spectacular, and it is very very original.
I'm guessing you've gathered that I love this game so far... but theres a reason a large bunch of reviewers are giving 100% scores. The game kicks ass.
-
good thats what i was hoping for now i want it more than i did before.
-
when i headed down to shadohawks place it was at 85% down on steam!
-
So yeah I guess this game is a personal preference. I loved it, whereas my friend chris thought it was boring and unimpressive. though he is normally very critical of games anyhoo.
-
I was playing the demo at Shadohawks yesterday on the 360. The water effects were very impressive.
-
I'm downloading bioshock now, I got it from steam.
-
So yeah just beat it a couple mins ago. I liked it a lot, but the ending was sort of anti-climactic. I guess overall I'd rate it 8.5/10. The story wasn't really explained to me much, there was some, but either I'm deaf and didn't catch wtf was going on, or it just wasn't said.
It could be replayable, but I might wait awhile to get back to it. Or maybe play it again when I get better hardware... see what it's like at higher framerates :P
-
Agent, there's supposedly 5 different endings, 2 happy and 3 sad. It all depends on what you do in the game. You should play through it again but maybe try to spare lives or something.
-
Well, in all seriousness, I didn't see much in the way of choice. And the ending was somewhat confusing to me. I got a bad ending. And yet, I only harvested one little sister throughout the whole game, and saved the rest.
I'll have to see how it plays out if I harvest them all, but something tells me that as far as gameplay is concerned, the game will most likely play out in the same fashion no matter which way I go. But the standard I'm using for this non-linear model of gameplay is Deus Ex, where the choices you made definitely had repercussions elsewhere. So I can't help but be a little critical.
Will have to see though.
-
Stupid DSL, ill have it downloaded soon. God this would be a 30minute download when I had FiOS, next month cant come soon enough.

I haven't played this yet, so I'm not really sure what ADAM is, but this might help some of you out while playing.

I am still finishing the download of the full version... cant wait to play!
