Avatar of Justice Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 My roomie got Bioshock and I watched him play it a bit. Is it just me or do the Vita Chambers totally destroy the tension of the bossfights and game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 That's grade A bullshit right there. Remember people, this is the bullshit you support when you buy the PC version of Bioshock. No thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 youre kinda still supporting it by buying the xbox version... Supporting the company, sure, but see if people stopped buying the PC version, it would send a word to the companies that people won't take it. By supporting the sales of the PC version in particular, they are encouraging these companies to sell products in this crippled fashion.

Drack Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 So where would it morally lie for someone without a 360 to buy the 360 version and pirate the PC version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSR388x Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Is this game worth it? My friend invited me over to watch him play it, and I thought the plot was brilliant, but my fiancé thought otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need further justification, here's my review. The game is art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-n-j-i-n Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I actually agree with some of what that review is saying (even when it's a lot of trolling a lot of nagging points that are just nagged to be funny about it). The hacking system is fully retarded and it could have worked way better in all seriousness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion303 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I'm about 70-80% of the way through the game as far as I know. It's lots of fun but I don't know that I would rate it above HL2. The storyline so far is very comparable to the one in F.E.A.R. in terms of how it gets revealed. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V___ Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Played around with this game a bit on PC, like the feel... cept for the fact the game ran slow. But I loved the atmosphere. So now I'm looking for games with a similar vibe but slightly older so I can actually play it. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never actually played it but if Bioshock is its spiritual succesor or whatever, I assume it is somewhat similar but it's a bit older so it would prob work for you.

Yeh played that a while back, loved it... The atmosphere wasnt quite as dark, as the actual environment being dark though. Other stuff with the atmosphere I liked that Iv played: STALKER, American Mcgee's Alice, Condemned. Doom3 was close but the 'oh hey lets also make the world so dark the player thinks their blind' idea killed it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Joker Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Spoilers... maybe. I'll throw in some speedbumps, & even make the text white, so highlight it! Is it just me, or is this game not only (provided you didn't harvest any little sisters) about family & doing the right thing, but also about abortion, & embryonic stem cell research? I mean, think about it, in the game -SPOILERS- if you harvest a little sister you get a to become more powerful & basically get an easier game. -SPOILER-On the other hand, if you save them, you get less adam, & the game becomes a bit more difficult, it takes longer to get the more powerful upgrades, but in the end, -SPOILER- you give the little girls a future that they would never have had other wise. Or you destroy them to get it "easier". Or maybe I'm just reading to much into it. Basically, what did you guys take from the story? Keep in ming that these are the 2 overwhelming themes in the game, seeing as the original trailers focused on the litle sisters, as well as the way the good ending unfolds. I'm just curious as to what you got from it. Like, when it comes right down to it, after beating the game, or during if your still playing, could you get yourself to harvest, or was it to icky to get yourself to do it, as it was for me.

Legion303 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 after beating the game, or during if your still playing, could you get yourself to harvest, or was it to icky to get yourself to do it, as it was for me. I had to stop harvesting after that gameplay twist. The biggest theme in the game is Ayn Rand's philosophy of objectivism, which (someone correct me if I'm wrong, I've never read her work) emphasizes personal responsibility, objective reality (truth independent of observation) and the fact that free men should be able to choose their own way in life without undue interference. The only real choice the player has is to either harvest or save the little sisters. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
