What's that "appears to be an [ONLY ON XBOX 360]" tag say in the banner?

I'm thinking "Only on Xbox 360 and Windows" and now my eyes are strained to hell.

RichC2 08-16-07 12:23 PM

Its [Only on Xbox 360 and Windows PC]

I think Pixy might be going crazy.... quoting and replying to himself.... :p

slop101 08-16-07 12:43 PM

It may as well say "NOT on PS3, motherfucker!"

edstein 08-16-07 12:47 PM

Crap, I was really looking forward to the steelbook.

Nah, I just *barely* made it out after I posted that. I guess an edit would have made more sense. :o

I'd be surprised if this didn't make it to the PS3 sometime next year, a la Oblivion.

Probably not. When development on Bioshock first started, it was going to be on the PS3 too. Sometime early last year, the developers started saying it would be a 360 exclusive. The developers just mysteriously stopped talking about the PS3. Either Microsoft paid them to make it exclusive or the developers couldn't get it to run properly on the PS3. Something made them stop PS3 development at least. :shrug:

I might make an exception for this game as I have for halo, gears of war, and resistance, due all the ratings and positive feedback. I really like the feature that points you in the right direction. IMHO this should be in every FPS as it really appeals to me as a casual gamer.

First thing I did after I bought the game was turn that arrow pointer off. Man that thing annoyed me. It takes a lot of the fun out of the game. There is plenty of exploring in this game, and I want to do it without an arrow showing me the way.

i didn't even notice there was an arrow pointing me in the right direction

Was it on the demo? Because I never saw it either.

Crizzar 08-16-07 02:17 PM

I didn't see it either, I wonder if that's a feature of Easy difficulty.

I played on Normal and didn't see the arrow.

House 08-16-07 02:18 PM

It's not on the demo I don't believe, I didn't notice it in the demo either. It is on the retail version of the game, and you have to turn it off.

Canis Firebrand 08-16-07 02:20 PM

I am playing on Normal, and the arrow is there. You have to go into the settings to turn it off. It is on by default.

The option is in the demo, but it defaults to off.

KurrptSenate 08-16-07 02:45 PM

i played through the demo twice on normal but didn't notice it.


then again, i didn't know you could spin the tiles hacking the computer, so i could have overlooked something. if there was an arrow, it definitely wasn't nearly as obvious as Oblivion makes it

Canis Firebrand 08-16-07 02:47 PM

You can spin the tiles? :lol:

I just kept uncovering the hidden pieces until I found the ones I needed. I guess I should look in the book that came with the game to see exactly what else I can do that I don't know.

KurrptSenate 08-16-07 02:50 PM

haha

I did that exact thing, and it still seemed extremely easy....


but yea, apparently :lol:

How do you spin the tiles? Can you do this after you have already selected the tiles?

Just an FYI you need to hack a lot through out the game. There are vending machines around that you buy health, evo and ammo from. If you hack them, then you get your stuff cheaper.

Spoiler:
Also the way you get more magic is via vending machine as well. You get what are called adam's i believe from the little girls. You have the option to either Harvest them or Set them free.

KurrptSenate 08-16-07 03:41 PM

i wanna say its the 'X' button to spin, but if you've read my previous posts, it explains that I failed to recognize this and just went with the replace method

9.7 at IGN, now the highest rated game on the 360. FWIW, Gears and GH2 got 9.4s.

SuperBatMan 08-16-07 05:31 PM
