Yeah... it's worth it to save the little sisters... (don't want to spoil anything here though). It also makes you feel like a better person.

As I patiently wait for everyone else to finish the game... I just want to say, the game has one bad plot twist and one good plot twist in my view.

You played 20 hours already?

I've got it maxed out on my new PC. I'm really enjoying it so far, very entertaining. But I'm at work, so really can't sit typing for long enough to give impressions.

3 way big daddy fight........................... amazing

Well Ive been doing a bit of research on the PC version, and theres a big bunch of people seriously pissed off that you need a Pixel Shader 3.0 capable graphics card to play this game. According the the polls that valve runs through steam, over 40% of gamers have a card that is not 3.0 capable, and thats a lot of people. Sounds like a lot of the ATI's produced over a year ago dont have it (mine included), apparently ATI decided to stick with the 2.0. This is despite the fact that many of these cards are actually more powerful than cards that can play the game, only because they support 3.0. This has to make you wonder, especially with the whole "Nvidia: The way its meant to be played" nonsense, if Nvidia had something to do with this. There is hope though, some guy got it working with a patch he made in about an hour...some textures missing, ect, but its apparently playable. Anyways, hopefully 2K games gets off their lazy asses and just releases a patch that fixes the problem.

On a side note, I did play the demo on my laptop, which has an Nvidia, and it was fun, but it didnt run too well...very beautiful though.

I was meaning to ask, did you figure it out?

Status report: Im just entering Ryans place. The game is amazing so far.

Bond · 08-27-2007, 10:27 PM

I got it. Spoilers below:

There are two options to deal with Cohen after he tells you to go away. You can either kill him or let him live. Killing him now gives you the key to the music box, but you can also let him live and encounter him again later in the game. (You get certain achievements by not killing him initially that you can't get if you kill him right away)

*spoilers/end spoilers*

Just beat the game, the boss fight was overly easy. However the whole game was so great that the final fight seemed like a plateu, not a decline. I got the good ending, since i didnt harvest any of the little sisters, and i must say that though it was a minute long it seemed appropriate and I thought it was good ( especially that part when you're in the hospital bed and the hands reach out for yours. All in all it was a wild ride and a great one at that. I'd like to hear some thoughts from you guys if you've beat/played it at all. Bond?

*spoiler end*

Bond · 09-02-2007, 03:06 AM

I can't really remember much of anything right now, but the game was great. I didn't have any personal issues with the ending, I thought it was fitting. I'm going to replay it for the bad ending sometime.

Ya, so BioShock... boring! Yep, I said it.

After multiple attempts to progress through BioShock, I realized something, this game is not fun to play. It bores me to death. Graphics are great, give my props to the artists. The musical score is annoying and quite possibly the worst music I've ever heard, but it fits the game well. But playing the game? I'll pass.

See, BioShock's slow story has yet to become apparent, and believe it or not, has yet to capture my attention. Some people call it art, I call it poor storytelling. This game reminds me of the Final Fantasy series, everyone says "Oh, well you need to get at least 10 hours in and you'll understand everything. The story is great." Well let me tell you something in return, I'm not about to give 8 or so hours of my life to find out if I indeed like a game. If it can't hook me from the beginning, it's not getting my money.

BioShock seems to be stuck trying to figure out whether it's a first-person shooter, or an adventure game. I spend more time running around searching than I do fighting, but unlike great adventure games like Banjo-Kazooie, I'm not having fun doing in. I do enjoy beating people down with my wrench, it reminds me of Condemned, only that game was enjoyable. But aside from that, there is nothing above average about the combat system. The action isn't enough to keep me entertained by any means. Besides, I rarely die from fighting the enemies. It's those stupid bots that come out and make the game more annoying than it already is.

Between the bots and the turrets, I never want to play this game again. I'm sick of hacking things, it's way overused, and I still don't have any idea why I'm running around Repture acting like an idiot, so I decided to solve that problem, and stop running around Rapture.

We found a witch! May we burn her?
