Jesus! I left my PC on while I was at work today so the game could download. A bloody 11 hour shift and its only at 8.5GB/14.9GB done

Hopefully it'll finish while I'm at work tomorrow.

Don't risk it, leave it downloading tonight!

The problem is the PC's in my bedroom. The sound of the PC's fan keeps me awake. I need pretty much total silence to sleep :/

This game is almost unplayable for me on any graphics settings... very low, very high, makes no difference it stutters all the time. Tried some of the fixes makes no difference... Terrible. How can this be described as "well optimized" in reviews?

You most be running it on a really old laptop or something

NirK · 28 Mar 2013 at 23:05

Nope people report this on top of range PC's....

It is on a 5870 + Q6700... Not amazing but it should run OK because the graphics are not even very good and it is clearly the game.

Stutters on very low, stutters on Ultra... Any settings it still stutters. Loads of reports of this online.

You may simply have one of those unlucky combinations. I'm only on a 560ti 1Gb admittedly at 1680x1050 with a 2500k and I have everything on very high and with SweetFX too. The only times I get any jitters is when it's loading a new area and there's some dialogue going on, but everything's fine after a couple of seconds. It's playing about the same as Dishonoured did for me, ie great.

I get the 30fps drop every now and then....tried the fixes too which didn't work.

Other than the performance is very good and the game looks fantastic plus i like the way weapons/vigor abilities are handled.

Ok, I think my favourite song in this is Shiny Happy People

V4NT0M · 28 Mar 2013 at 23:38

I get the stuttering too, sometimes only every now and then, sometimes quite a lot. FX4100 @ 4GHz, 560TI and running off an SSD. =/

Other than that it runs like a dream.

Pighardia · 29 Mar 2013 at 00:32

Gonna have to tear myself away now as I'm so tired!...would ply on if I could though

It is all starting to become clear now. I think I am quite near the end.

G-MAN2004 · 29 Mar 2013 at 00:38

I think I'm near the end now too, but need to sleep unfortunately! This is definitely one of my favourite games of all time.

Elizabeth is amazing.

This stutter. Is it only Nvidia users reporting it?

Schizo · 29 Mar 2013 at 01:27

I don't get any problems at all,running a i7 920 and 580 classified and the game is on a 750gb momentous drive.

Westie · 29 Mar 2013 at 01:32

Im torn between this and tomb raider for GOTY tbh. This is more ambitious whilst tomb raider is more visceral. Finished both of them and really enjoyed both, but for different reasons.

Bioshock pros:

Fun combat, nice art work, interesting story, interesting world to explore, feel emotion towards the characters

cons:

More linear than I was expecting, even though it "appears" not to be, limited replayability,

Tomb raider pros:

Great combat, visceral experience, pulse pounding/edge of seat moments, interesting story, replayable, great upgrade system

Cons:

Pulls away from relatively weak girl and turns into stone cold killer nearly in the blink of an eye.

Damn tough choice!
