That company has really screwed the pooch as far as mildly peeing off pc gamers goes, first theres the big build up to an announcement which everyone knoew was gonna be a demo...then theres ONLY a 360 demo and no pc demo. PC demo still has no confirmed date. Game gets released early in america people have seen commericals saying "available now" they go and buy it, its playable on the 360 but pc owners have to wait till the proper release date.

:eek: :eek:



If this company was ea it would be getting descended on by now by thousands of people wielding pitchforks and flaming torches.

Yea their actions have been fairly damaging they have recieved massive amounts of abuse this week yet there PR team can't seem to pull their fingers out.

Im just waiting on the demo being either

A) Unplayable due to shoddy coding.

B) Crashes constantly.

C) Corrupted demo file sent to all distribution sites causing even more delays.


Probably not very likely but they've really screwed up so far with the demo delays and the pc game being available but unplayable.

Well ive just paid for the steam version and its pre loading now

I just like the no-cd play method, and if i format my pc i dont have to worry about loosing save games or re-installing as steam is on another partition

Works out at about £32.00 which is quite expensive, but there you go

BTW just to squash any fears about needing an 8800 to run this game with everything on here's a manual extract from the...manual :p

Extract:
An Important Note Regarding Graphics and Having the Best Possible ExperienceBioShock uses some of the most advanced rendering techniques availabletoday for special effects and to achieve real-time performance for a greatgame playing experience. The game was largely developed and tested onNVIDIAintended experience can be more fully realized on NVIDIA GeForce 8Series graphics hardware. On an NVIDIA GeForce 8600 or better you willbe able to turn on all of the NVIDIA special effect features at higher resolu-tions in the game.

I won't apologise for anything. I've read it for myself Im just saying its the typical TWIMTBP marketing rubbish you really shouldn't base much on it ;)

LOL at the demo man it's like a carry on movie this. Carry On BioShock :p . Complete joke.

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.
