**The one and only Official BioShock Thread**- now with added **SPOILERS**

Since the announcement that there would be that 2am announcement about demo the whole pr has gone badly on the pc side for 2k.
 
LOL the Steam pre-load doesn't let you play until 9pm or something on the 24th.

So for more money you get:

- No DVD
- Online manual :rolleyes:
- No nice little case (I know, not a big deal but nice to have)
- Longer wait to play the game
- Did I mention it actually costs more money

Biggest Steam **** up yet.

I need the demo so I can decide whether to go for the PC or 360 version. I'd love to get the PC version, but I just don't know whether a X1950Pro would do it justice!

OUCH. I've never seen a company **** up a launch so much as 2K have done.

The publisher controls the price, not steam.

And surely some people not being able to play HL2 when it was first released was a bigger **** up than the price of a game they are hosting...

I can't recall what happened with HL2 now can't remember, but still it's very badly priced and considering you don't get to play till 9pm or so. :o

It is overpriced on Steam, a $45 price point would have been more realistic and acceptable imo. I wonder how long it will be before they knock some money off this on Steam...
 
this demo thing is pee'ing me off now :(

I've got the game on order anyway but want to know if I need to shuffle some funds and do an early h/w upgrade (had previously promised myself I'd wait for Crysis).
 
I have changed my mind about the full game first, i think ill get the demo first as i bore easily with games so the demo may be enough for me i duno. Least will give me the thought if i like and enjoy it enough that i think ill play it more than a hour or two then never play it again etc.

Btw in the game with telekinisis, do you think it will work on the big daddys like most of everything else as in pickup and throw. Do you think the little sister will be as well, as i have a evil plan of pickin the sister up and throwing her at the daddy mwhahaha. :D
 
This game is going to be one of those must get and play games trust me
don't hesitate getting this game.
But if mutliplayer is your thing i'd imagine even this game will grow tiresome.

Good to hear the PC demo isnt far off.. ive got it pre-ordered on the PC, and got my new 5.1 speakers hooked up to that.. but the 360 demo showed the console is perfectly capable for this style of game and almost tempted me to get it on that..
 
Does anyone have any DX9 vs DX10 shots for this game?

I'm debating if its worth an upgrade or not. Running an x1900 xt at the moment and I think it can handle it fine, I just want to be sure I'm not missing out on anything amazing.
