BioShock Has Arrived
 

Alright, the title is a tad misleading, BioShock officially comes out tomorrow.

Who is planning on picking it up?

Make sure to post all your impressions here.

EDIT: Remember, BioShock is $49.99 for 360 and $39.99 for PC at Circuit City.

Damn it, I wish I weren't in debt.

Tell me, what would you do, if you had the choice of either spending your next paycheck to spend about $2000 on a brand new PC to play BioShock, or using that paycheck to continue paying off school debts that won't be paid off until a year from now?

Answering just buy a 360 doesn't count. I don't want a 360.

I am hoping to pick it up for the Xbox 360, I need to play through the demo first though to make sure I enjoy it. I'm sure I will though.

Downloading the demo now.

Re: BioShock Has Arrived
 

I would buy a 3... well, ok then.

In all seriousness, I'd pay off your debt. Debt is the root of all evil.

Demo will be well worth your download.

Be sure to share your impressions after you've played it.

if i can run it on my PC...i will go pick it up for 39.99...if not, then who knows

i'm going to see what happens i'm downloading the PC demo right now

Re: BioShock Has Arrived
 

Yeah I think I will be prudent and continue paying off the debt. I never know when I may lose my job, so I want to pay it off as soon as I can. Right now everything I make minus some food/drink/girlfriend spending needs goes towards paying it off.

I will be purchasing my copy for the PC first thing tomorrow. I'm downloading the demo right now. Not really sure why since I will be buying it anyway...

I'll post some impressions when I get a chance.

Hm, I didnt know the PC demo was out. I doubt I can run it though...

Re: BioShock Has Arrived
 

Well, I played the demo last night on my PC and it ran smoothly (35-45 fps) on my system. I was playing it at 1680x1050 with everything maxed out, which makes me very happy in the pants.

My specs at a glance so you can guesstimate your performance:
nVidia 8800gts 640mb
Core 2 Duo e6600
2gb of Corsair eXtreme RAM
Win Xp


One note, my CPU is set to overclock itself up to about 2.9ghz under heavy stress. However, I didn't overclock my video card at all.

Also, when I was installing the demo, it said that the game was optimized for a dual core system and that if you had single core you'd want in excess of a 2.6 ghz chip.

Otherwise, I liked the game very much. It has a great atmosphere to it. At many times I found myself just walking around looking at all the different random shit they put in there. The graphics are extremely beautiful.

Do you have water cooling, or are fans enough? That automatic overclocking bit, is that a feature of your motherboard, or something with software, or what? Which mobo do you have?

Re: BioShock Has Arrived
 

This game is awesome.

I have yet to encounter my first big daddy, haven't been playing for too long though.

I bought it at lunch and FUCK does it look fantastic. Everyone here in my office agrees. We couldn't tell when the gameplay started.

I also got an "I PWN" hat because I bought it from future shop. Yeah, bitches!
