Have been playing it non-stop since I got it, sans the girl i'm seeing coming over and distracting me for a bit... She loves watching me play it though

Technically, its not squashed or stretched - so they were honest all along. Hella lame, but honest.

Not really. That 2nd quote in my post is from a 2K developer who said that there would be more picture in widescreen mode. This isn't the case. I agree that it's not a huge issue but it's annoying.

This game is freakin' sweet. I like how it's not just a straight up first person shooter like these games normally are. It looks brilliant, you have mini game aspects, you need to worry about security cameras and the like without having to really slow the game down much, good story going along here, lovin' it thus far.

Green Smurf 08-22-07 05:10 PM

Is this game fairly easy? I wanted to get a new game but I am not that good at shoot em up games.

Supermallet 08-22-07 05:12 PM

There is an easy mode. If you're not sure, I suggest a rental.

Let's see, because I have plenty of other games and movies I have played on it in the last two weeks while confined in my house due to an injury and none of those have given me any issues.

Why are you so quick to blame my 360?

Because game freezes are a known problem with 360s, but there have been no reports of Bioshock being particularly problematic in this regard.

Exchange your copy -- it's possible there's a disc defect that is causing problems. But odds are, your 360 is about to go belly up.

Man, those bots are brutal. That's the one aspect of the game that drives me crazy. I suck at it.

I failed at one of the side missions. I couldn't get the door sealed in the office. I knew what door, but I couldn't figure out how to do it within the time limit. I was able to hold off the bad guys anyway, but it irked me that I couldn't seal it. How was I supposed to seal it?

So, is there a table of contents or summary for this game? It drives me crazy not knowing how far in a game I am.

Ok, thanks.

yes, gamestop and others were saying it was the Game's soundtrack is included. The CD is horrible, the music in it by Moby are freaking AWFUL. The DVD is really Cheaply made too, not like the Halo 2 DVD

The figure is alright in person, bigger and heavier but kind of an ugly paint job.

The collectors edition cover is ugly too compared to the standard. I am kind of pissed that I paid extra for this. I did it after hearing a track of the games score on Xbox Major Nelisons Podcast.

not really worth the extra 10 bucks, I am mainly pissed about the Audio cd. I want the soundtrack, not a cd with 3 tracks by moby.



Even on thier website it says

"Way back when I was creating the BioShock Limited Edition, I took a poll for what you guys wanted to see in the box. And while we managed to put your top 3 choices in – the Making of DVD, Soundtrack CD, and Big Daddy Figurine, we just couldn’t manage a BioShock artbook."


Soundtrack CD...............yeah right :(

If it's the lab, there is a switch next to the desk and it glows gold when you're meant to flip it.

I sent mine in two months ago. It took a little over a month to get back.

Pretty much with me as well. This is one fine looking game so why rush thru. Besides the folks a Y2K suggested you "save often" so you can go back and try other things. I didn't listen at frst since I was to excited about this game but I'm going back.

All I know is this has to have the best water effects ever!

Soundtrack CD is TOTALLY different than a Score CD. Soundtracks generally are musicians who play music inspired by the film/game...scores are the orchestrated music.

Supermallet 08-22-07 08:00 PM

Got my CE from Gamestop. One of the arms on the Big Daddy is completely broken. That actually suits me, as I want the art book and I can live without the figurine for a few weeks. I am disappointed that the case is not the rumored metal case that was shown a while back. Overall, I'm pleased with it, although I agree that Moby remixes in lieu of the actual score is pretty crappy.

nickdawgy 08-22-07 09:27 PM

I also thought the regular edition cover was better then the LE. I didn't listen to the soundtrack, and probably never will. I will also never watch the making of dvd.

The $10 extra was worth it for the Big Daddy alone. As far as I know, the crappy paint job is supposed to be like that to make it look old and rusted.

Michael Corvin 08-22-07 09:30 PM

You are definitely paying for the Big Daddy. The soundtrack is ass. The cover was designed for an embossed metal tin and the design is kinda lost just being printed out. Haven't checked out the DVD yet. Hopefully the art book is pretty cool. It will soften the blow of the other crappy extras.

slop101 08-22-07 09:56 PM

You can see the artbook for yourself right here:

Mok 08-22-07 10:20 PM

The game is awesome so far, I do agree about those hacking mini games I don't like them. Good thing they gave you the option to pay to hack something, the only things that are easy to hack are the bots. I decided this time around I would save the little sisters.

Spoiler:
Did anyone get to the part where you get the plasmid that you use to hypnotize the Big Daddys ? It's pretty funny they follow you around like a lost puppy, but watch out they do turn back.

cerial442 08-22-07 10:29 PM

I only got to play for an hour today, but pretty cool so far.

I like the Big Daddy figure, and was a little disappointed there was no metal case.
