bioshock rocks
« on: August 21, 2007, 05:32:04 PM »
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?

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 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.

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.

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!
