Well, it's not really a bug. It just the way it designed. I'm disappointed, but didn't even notice it when I was playing the game.

And manasecret:

I just have fans, no water cooling for me. My cpu runs fairly cool even under heaviest load (<55). It's a feature of my motherboard. It might also be on other mobos, nut sure. I have the Gigabyte 965P-DS3.

Bought the game this morning and have been playing it since. Fantastic. The Big Daddies can be quite hard if you don't go in with a plan.

Yeah, I got beat pretty bad by my first Big Daddy. Eventually killed him though.

I've encountered my second one in a rather large room and I'm not quite sure how I'm going to deal with him yet.

I feel like I should be stuffed in a mental institution, because this game doesn't look remotely fun, or enjoyable to me.

It just looks like the same first person stuff, that's been hyped way too much.
Just like most other first person games.

Thanks lot, HL2.

To be extremely objective, the game has been over hyped some, but it is still an excellent game. It's nothing earth shattering, but the environments are stunning, the story is excellent and the combat is solid.

Fuck Bioshock is awesome. I couldn't get enough of it tonight. I wish I had a whole day to just play it.

But I'm stuck playing Turok. I guess it's alright.

Some guy that was searching for the PC version could only find the 360 and the demo versions.

How often do you get all those things nowadays though?

i bought the game, woo, i just got to my first big daddy....definitely beatable, just going to require a bit of strategy

i'm playing it on hard and it's definitely providing a challenge, i rescued one of the girls but i might harvest her in the interest of picking up something useful....otherwise, the fire eve is awesome

demonoid has a legit torrent i think, but i don't mind supporting good developers and it looks like lots of hard work and time went into the game, it's very polished. the other thing is the game needs to be web activated, and that's too much trouble when you can just get it at circuit city for 40 bucks

ha, maybe i will, maybe i will....apparently if you save a few you'll get some good stuff

my only complaint about the game so far is that the shotgun feels underpowered, i'm so used to the shotgun blowing away my opponents in one shot at point blank range...but it's hard to hold a grudge when you can set things on fire!
