Any Gamers Playing BIOSHOCK
 

got to Neptune's bounty last night after an hour of playing what a game I'm well impressed so far

Re: Any Gamers Playing BIOSHOCK
 

Gee.. your quick... didn't even know it was out yet.

Re: Any Gamers Playing BIOSHOCK
 

yup was a great game if you have never played any of the games its based on. but sadly i had lpayed system shock and deus ex so it was mearly more of the same

took me a little over a day to finish....

then i reinstalled my machine from scratch to get rid of the root kit thats installed with it....

Re: Any Gamers Playing BIOSHOCK
 

Played the demo... came to the conclusion i'm getting to old for those types of games now.. will stick to mmo's and rts's

medal of honour airbourne is cool too, played Deux ex but prefer Bioshock i think its out Grinch should i delete my post

Re: Any Gamers Playing BIOSHOCK
 

Yeah, I finished Bioshock about a week after it came out (no social life y'see).
Thought it was a great game, brilliant, not to mention awsome SFX/GFX (even in DX9)with a gritty atmosphere.
The only thing I was a little disapointed in is that they didn't make full use of the water the whole game was based around, at times I forgot I was underwater at all.
There were lots of missed opportunities regarding the water, which was a bit of a shame really.
I won't go into detail about why or what missed opportunities there were as I don't wont to spoil the game for anyone.


Oh, I was also one of thousands who couldn't activate there copy at release, due to Securom copy protection (what a sham that was).
Many people resorted a downloading a crack for the game,they legaly owned :rolleyes:
Securom was inted to stop piracy etc, funny thing is the Securom copy protection was cracked 45mins after the game was released.
Honest people with legit copies (like myself) were still waiting to be activated over 2 hours later, sat there with their copy of Bioshock on their desks unable to play it.

So now it's back to playing Red Orchestra for me, still, Bioshock is a cracking game!

*Edit* The original Deus Ex, now that was a BRILLIANT game!!!!!

Re: Any Gamers Playing BIOSHOCK

Re: Any Gamers Playing BIOSHOCK
 

I'll give it a whirl. Do they take a lot of hits?

Re: Any Gamers Playing BIOSHOCK
 

depends on what skill level your playing at but usually about four hits of the shotgun on med level, great game though stick at it

Re: Any Gamers Playing BIOSHOCK
 

medium level, what kind of ammo!!

Re: Any Gamers Playing BIOSHOCK
 

I have to quit playing Bio, it's started to make me feel sick. It's just like motion sickness, had the same feeling when I have played other FPS's.:pukel:

Good job I didn't pay for it:-dd

Re: Any Gamers Playing BIOSHOCK
 

any ammo on those, Ive even battered one with the wrench, do you have telekinesis

Re: Any Gamers Playing BIOSHOCK
 

I enjoyed (a while ago) System Shock 2. What a cracker! Play with no lights in the dark room and you will see what I mean.

Now I don't play much. However we could organise some SV650.org tournament on-line couldn't we?

I suggest maybe online Call of Duty? Anyone fancies it?

Re: Any Gamers Playing BIOSHOCK
 

sounds great but im only online at work and i think that would really be taking the p!ss

Re: Any Gamers Playing BIOSHOCK
 

Yep, got my PC copy of this on release, even though my 3 year old rig just aint up to scratch any more (Athlon 64 3500+, 1GB RAM, GF6800GT).

Thing about Bioshock that impresses me so much, quite apart from the insanely good optimisation when combined with the new beta nVidia drivers, is the quality of the art design. This is a game that shows that attention to detail, the atmosphere created, the use of sound, the storytelling, the imagination...all adds up to a great game. I can't tell you how much of a chore Doom 3 was, despite looking awesome. I love how different the world in this game feels, even though I have to experience it on Medium to Low detail. Was the same with STALKER, the atmosphere more than made up for some clunkiness.

Bioshock stands up there with Deus Ex and Morrowind as my fav. games of all time, all notable for their ability to suck you in with art design and well thought out worlds rather than the highest polygon counts.

This, of course, is the game itself. Don't like the whole Securom/activation crap, but once done am enjoying the game very much. Got to a couple of levels before the end a few weeks ago, have since not had time to finish. Did Hephaestus last I think. Also, game does suffer slightly from console dumbing down, but not nearly as badly as Deus Ex: Invisible War.

Best moment for me, apart from the Fort Frolic level, was the medical room full of fog/dry-ice in Medical Pavilion (I think). It was beyond a room you could get into by jumping through the glass, but there was a turret in there. You go in, explore, see the tonic on the desk (with a teddy bear on it I think), pick it up. Why can't I turn around....I can't move....what's going on....spin around.....Jesus Christ!!!!!!!! I nearly had a heart attack!
