I bought it but have been moving/unpacking so it's just been sitting here. I really appreciate that there's a Bioshock thread I can hang out in without feeling left out or getting anything spoilered.

I scan the headlines because of the regular updates, but to answer the heart of the question, Matt is too NeoCon/GOP for my taste (though more concerned for civil liberties than most of that crowd).

Much like me... I bought it and a 360 to play it... and have ended up just catching up with all the other 360 titles I've missed.
I've played like maybe and hour or so of it.
 You Purchased A 360 To Play A Shooter?

Are there single control Wii arm wave versions of first person shooters yet? (Shooting is can be automatical since pressing a button would be too complex.)
Actually, it could work as a quakeworld style ballette.... hell, I'm getting excited here!

System Shock 2 really is a big faggoty dick of a game.
Ironically the one gun I have fired in real life actually did jam every twelve shots but I'm fairly certain I was just unlucky with that one.
 Well, Ok
#20 posted by Lunaran [24.240.64.49] on 2007/09/16 01:25:54
the guns break a lot, yeah, but considering how awesomely nonlinear and atmospheric the rest of the game was, are you really knocking it down for just that?
 No.
#21 posted by czg [83.253.252.162] on 2007/09/16 14:10:40
There's also ugly models and ugly levels, and I really didn't find a whole lot of atmosphere.
I honestly don't see why nonlinearity is an automatic virtue. All I can remember is a whole lot of backtracking and mazes of corridors.
 I Agree, Actually

but i wish gun breaking was in bioshock...
i mean, seriously. look at those weapons... they are made out of junk, for the most part. why wouldn't they break?
it would have given a real incentive to take care of your powerful weapons and not use them as much as your pistol, shotgun and tommygun.
i usually run around with the flame thrower, torching everything in sight. if i was worried it would break, i'd save it for times with groups of guys or bosses.
 Weapon Jamming
#25 posted by Text_Fish [82.32.1.90] on 2007/09/16 19:13:59
was rarely a problem for me in SS2 because I always played with psi powers.
I suppose that's not a problem in BioShock because it's RPG-lite, for drone-minded console losers.
PUH.
 Heh

Completed Bioshock yesterday, but it gave me the 'you-are-an-evil-small-girl-killin... ending. Started it about a month ago, after a week i was on second last level, then i forgot all about Bioshock, and got stuck into my episode pak for quoth. Mail me if you wanna beta test it! What I mean is id rather play quake than bioshock. Good game tho, best played on a 360, ha!
PS this cant count as another multiple entry can it? If it can, I'll stop going on about my pak.
 No, Multiple Entry

is when she takes it in any ori- oh, you mean multiple posting, that is pretty much a chain which, though I enjoy sloppy seconds, I don't
particularly care for having other, er,. . . wait, no that doesn't count at multiple posting if you don't repeat the content of a previous posting and vary it up a bit, it's alright (and she wont complain).

 Bio Vs System
#34 posted by -_- [89.110.51.201] on 2007/09/30 15:19:14
Bioshock is really simplified to me. Its just a plot-driven FPS with some skill growth (DKT anyone?). It feels like a step backwards.
Systemshock2 gave you distinctive separated paths of developing the skills (weapons and psi-powers). And the other skills had more effect on gameplay (running speed for example)
I fully agree with czg that nonlinearity is not an automatic virtue. But the freedom of choice is. And seeing the outcome change depending on your actions and choices is very rewarding.
Both games are pretty good in this regard, but Systemshock2 experience felt somewhat richer. Maybe because it offered many "side quests" and let you wander around the levels doing them, while Bioshock pushes you along the main script/plot-line.
Considering the looks Systemshock2 was fine for its time, maybe the monsters were a bit on the ugly side. But so is Bioshock (again, for its time) - good levels, but ugly character models. All the humans look like crude dolls made from papier-mache.
 So Far...

I rate the installer 0/10 for first installing 8gb of data and THEN trying to connect to the net to install the latest patch. Upon realising that I can't access the server from work, the installer deletes all 8gb of data it just installed and prompts me to try again.
FUCK. YOU.
God job I didn't pay for it*
*my boss did, it isn't warez... if it were I probably would have been able to install the fucking thing without any problems.
 Yep

I understand that the extended evaluation version runs completely hassle free... no issues at all.
The retail version? I had problems authenticating it and it won't run without the disc in the drive... fuckers.
