I also ordered the PC LE.
It'll be waiting for me Aug 22 when I come back from Hawaii!!!

I now REALLY wish I could afford a 360. :(

This game looks awesome and I really want to play it, but my pc is too outdated.

At the very least I would have to buy some memory, and even then I don't know if my processor is up to snuff.

Looks good though.

And it also requires a shader model 3.0 video card. Pretty much every 360 port to PC game requires a shader model 3.0 card.

I just recently put my order in for the 360 LE. I can't wait...

porieux 08-08-07 04:34 PM

I preordered the LE at the local Gamestop, my first time ever pre-ordering a game. The guy at the register was really excited that I was pre-ordering something, LOL. Maybe they get paid extra for that or something..

They don't get paid extra, they just get to keep their jobs.

I'm sure that can't be biased :/

fernsita 08-09-07 09:57 AM

well that isnt the only amazing review, look at these:

PCG UK: 9.5

Xbox World: 9.4

Alternative Press: 10

Gamers: 9.8

Game Informer: 10

a game doesnt get reviews like this unless it is great, no question.

I have been waiting since 1999 after I finished System Shock 2.

... or unless the reviewers have been paid off. :)

Another killer in game footage showing the effects of your decision process and with some narration. This one is pretty good and long.

just pre-ordered from amazon. Can't wait for this one.

Giantrobo 08-10-07 08:20 AM

I still think the game seems tedious but I'll still give it a shot. :lol:

slop101 08-10-07 11:03 AM

For once, I think the extra $10 for the Super-Snazzy-Edition is actually worth it:

As much as I hate to do it, I guess i'll make my way over to Gamestop this afternoon and pre-order that sweet ass LE.
Gamestop is the only place with the above pictured goodies, right?

edstein 08-10-07 11:52 AM

I'm going to do the same thing Max. That's an awesome set.

Playing the System Shock games isn't required to fully enjoy this, is it?

I have a really bad OCDish issue with jumping into books, television and movie series without starting with the first one, but it should like this game should stand on its own pretty well.

Draven 08-10-07 01:02 PM

Everything I've heard indicates this has almost nothing do with earlier "Shock" games.

You'll be fine.

JasonF 08-10-07 03:09 PM

Bioshock is a completely separate setting and story from System Shock. The only similarity is that it's some of the same developers and they are aiming for the same "feel" to the game. Like two different Hitchcock movies -- you don't need to see Vertigo to enjoy Rear Window and vice versa.

Supermallet 08-10-07 05:56 PM

Right, I think they called it Bioshock to let fans of the System Shock games know that the team is back at it, but the games, AFAIK, take place in two entirely different universes. Still, it's more than worth your time to play the first two System Shock games.
