Bioshock : First thoughts

s1ugh34d · 25-November-07, 12:20 AM

Well after trying to install Bioshock over the last two days....Turns out if IE is in "offline mode" you can't downoad the patch, which includes the .exe file to play the game??? But the tech guy i called didn't know that either, but was fairly intellegent, and it didnt take me an hour to get ahold of a person, actully I was forwarded drectly to him.

I got around to playing it. I haven't had so much excitement and fun, playing a game (more story based than shoot em up) since the 7th guest & Killing time for my 3DO.

Its fun, the story is great, and hard is actually challenging, what fun.

I might get a review done on it, Although my graphics aren't amazing with the 6600GT's it seems pretty decent, running a nice 38FPS @ 1280*1024 (average). Shouldn't be too hard, the game is fun and challenging.

I'll be nice and stay out of this one.

You should try SS2, it's a better version of BioShock, just with a different story and more RPG elements.

Ohh, and SS2 stands for System Shock 2.

I don't get it?

SS2 i used to own, I didn't like it as much as alone in the dark, killing time, and my other 3DO RPG/FPS's. Still is a great game.

The question is, whats wrong with Bioshock?

EDIT:I played it all night last night, and it was a litle on the easy side, in hard mode. But it's still a good game.

It's good, but it was overrated. PC Gamer UK giving it 95%? I'd have given it 85%. Great game, but a couple of niggling flaws. It could have been a bit more than it actually was.

He totally wanted to say "Biosuck", I know it, I just know it.

It was a good game, but it was a great game. I agree, 85% indeed.

Did you mean wasn't a great game Yunk

Id have given it 89%, it was pretty fun, but so much I would have changed.

I think Bioshock deserves a lot of praise for being one the of the few FPSes that really manages a good story and gives us a really fresh and gripping atmosphere. But now that we can step back, I have to agree that the combat wasn't entirely there and there were a lot of things I would have changed.
