EDIT: Fixed = )

There's an entire forum on the steam forums dedicated to bioshock btw :)

why is this thread going?

Bioshock is a great game by all means though 2 problems.

End game boss is disappointing
ZERO Replay value. It deserve 8.5 not 10s. Nowdays games need that online play. I see same reviewers nerfing score of heavenly sword for nothing having online but not for bioshock.

Now it will **** on my shelf. Good thing I downloaded not bought.

Been browsing the reviews on this and decided to give it a shot

These made made days this week

And so it's proved oncea gain that ctrlaltdel is better than penny arcade :)

A legitimate question here:

Is the demo DX9 or DX10? Or both like the game in that it chooses the path automatically based on the hw?

i was about to get that game, but after reading all about the trojankit and all the problems with it, decided nt to get it yet until the patch they claim they will release in future which removes it.

Downloading this game from Steam takes forever. I have actually played trough the campaign on Quake III while waiting. I don't like buying games without getting a DVD cover, but all the local stores have been out of stock all week

Anyone still playing or consider playing this title with 8xxxx series nvidia card with Vista be sure to put 163.44 beta drivers in since they yield massive frame rate boosts over the old drivers.

ok, so heres why i dont think the game is all that great.

1. the graphics are relatively poor after the lighthouse intro, textures and bland and undetailed, only really impressive part is the water, which wasnt even made by 2k no? levels are uninteresting, environment asthetics are important, look at farcry, STALKER, hell even half life 2.

2. The shooting is uninteresting, its like every other FPS ever made, nothing special. its alot like the first few levels of doom 3, but without the freaky monsters.

3. enemies are uninteresting and lacking of variety, theyre all human essentially, with guns, or they jump, or they use plasmids, woopty doo.

4. weapons are uninteresting and dont feel interesting, and of course the weapon asthetics is lousy.

5.AI is average, meh. simple run left and right, shoot, strafe, run at you...die.

6.the ending (the good one) was....so insanely cheezy. the bad ending was pretty cool, and the plot twist is predictable and cliche.

7. the game lacks the movie-esque sequences that games really need nowadays, after the first part it has no real sequences of interest (excluding one involving the first little sister) games like half life 2 had these consistently, little story parts of interest that broke up the mindless shooting, for example when a strider walks past, annihilates a car, shoots at some people, then moves on. or when an ominous group of transports fly overhead, or when a bunch of citizens get beaten by a metro cop as you stroll past. this game has very few little sequences of interest. I think the more common name for these is cinematics no? yeah. A game needs great gunplay and AI and graphics (FEAR, STALKER, GOW), or great graphics and great cinematics (Half life 2, Doom 3)

8. the atmosphere is lacking, when i play the game, i dont think '1940-50's underwater' it more just feels like random buildings with some theme. atmosphere can make or break a game, without levels like red forest in STALKER the game would have been a flop, or how about the reactor core in HL2 ep1?

there we go, thats all the i can think of atm.

I have played though the game now, and I am a bit disappointed. It was a good game, for sure, but it didn't live up to all those 9/10 10/10 - expectations. Brood here covered most of it, but I would like to add one thing; you have too much stuff! 8 weapons, most of them with 3 types of ammo each and 6 plasmids, plus all of those extra ability plasmids. It's a complete mess trying to fight multiple enemies when you have to cswithc weapon and ammo type all the damn time.

Good luck getting rid of the rootkit Bioshock brought along :salute:

Does Bioshock require Pixel Shader 3.0 ?

Does Bioshock require Pixel Shader 3.0 ?

yes, but there's already a mod that you can download so that it works on 2.0.
