not excited in the slitest, the demo sucked ass so i wont be buying this anytime soon
LOL, I can't believe there is a person on this planet that thinks this demo "sucked ass". I've just been reading through a 32 page thread full of people saying how fucking awesome this demo/game is over at neogaf.com. I personally think this will be the most enjoyable game I will ever play for a long time. I'd be surprised if it didn't get game of the year.

If you don't like Xbox, why are you on an Xbox forum?
But anyways, Bioshock is amazing. Too bad I don't have the money to buy it.

As for the dig on Xbox owners... I personally think MGS4 looks like crap. and if Bioshock were PS3 exclusive I'd probably consider buying one to play it.
Considering that Bioshock is the spiritual successor to SystemShock 2, which usually makes it high up on lists of "best games ever made" I think savagepoop just has bad taste in games.

Why does that matter in a discussion over BioShock?
QUOTE(savagepoop @ Aug 15 2007, 01:06 PM)
how can u say metal gear 4 looks crap?
The textures look low-res and muddy, the polygon count looks low, the physics and lighting effects look cheap and unrealistic, the AI looks flat out retarded, the setting is generic and uninspiried and if it follows the trend of past MGS games then it will have a typical whacked out non-sensical storyline coupled with stereotypical 1 dimension characters and a camera system that will make you want to smash your controller against a wall.
That's the impress I get from all of the video/demo footage and having played MGS 2 myself

NOW it all makes sense, you must have played yourself stupid. Spending that much time with any game can create sevear damage to your mental health... go talk to anyone who's played counterstrike for 6 years straight and you'll understand what I'm talking about.

2K hired the best water effects developers on the planet and tasked them with pushing the envelope to make the best water effects in any game ever.... It would seem that most of the people here, as well as most of the people in the gaming industry agree that they are. If you don't think so there's nothing I can do to change your mind. Nor is there anything I can do to change your mind about this game.
Also when you consider that every publication that has review this game both corporate and private have given it between a 9.5 and a perfect 10 I'd say you're a member of a VERY short list of people who don't like it.
I don't understand how anyone likes or gets excited about MGS... but I do understand that not ever game can please everyone. I can accept that you don't like Bioshock... Why can't you accept that the rest of us do?

i wouldnt bother. he's just gonna claim to the contrare. to me it's clear he's a fanboy from his prior posts. he claims to own both consoles, but prefers PS3?? no one in their right mind would say something like that. the 360 has roughly twice the amount of exclusives coming to it than PS3 does. the multiplatform games run better on the 360 which is a proven fact for the time being. i dont see how he owns both and be so biased when one is clearly better than the other in almost every aspect for right now. i would be siding with 360 now until the PS3 got its act together if i were him.
now this all granted. he may have a preference for the PS3 for w/e reason, but i wouldnt understand why when the 360 is for the time being doing substantially better.
anyways it would just be better to ignore him. no one is going to say anything he'll agree with. he'll more than likely counter it and pull something out of his ass that holds no merit or is so backward that we all can laugh at him in the end.

Claming a demo "sucks ass" with no foundation of your claims is begging for flames, you got what you deserved. If you explained yourself upfront instead of just making a brazen flame on the game followed by a insult to everyone on this site people might respect you.
What you did was the equivalent of walking into an NAACP meeting saying that MLK Jr "sucked ass" and then called everyone in the room the N word... and then started complaining that people were mad at you and not respecting your opinions.
Respect is a 2 way street... don't expect to get any if you're not giving it in the first place.

I have to deal with a real sony fanboy daily (I work with him) and he calls me one. I've pretty much owned and still own every major console ever made, he owns a ps2... yea I'm a fanboy. I tell people that each and every one of us like different games for different reasons... we select these games and praise them because they bring us the most enjoyment. Most true gamers do not select a game because others tell us to, we do it because we want it. Criticism isn't a bad thing but you must have substantial facts supporting your conclusions, otherwise you come off as a r'tard I don't even wanna go into this and that about fanboys, etc. Why don't we try to get back on topic. Anyone got any intresting information on a lucky early release of Bioshock?? I'd take both sides of opinions .. I'd just like to cut down on the flames...
we are all gamers here.

now that i look there isnt even a off-topic rule in the sticky for this board. nice try.

How many here will be purchasing this on launch day or the first week? Or have already purchased?
Afer playing the demo I went into Gamestop and Pre-ordered the LE version as well as the LE version of Two Worlds
I usually don't pre-order stuff but the LE version is supposedly limited to several thousand copies. Which is cool because it means it's an actual limited edition as opposed to games like PDZ and Halo 2 were there were probably more LE versions floating around than regular versions. Apparently there are only going to be 5K of the faceplate made too.

How much are you dying to get your hands on the big daddy figurine?
I won't be loaning this LE to ANYONE, i gave my Gears Of War to my mate and the tin hot fairly badly dented, i'm less than amused.

honestly I'm not much of a figureine person, I do have a few from various games though, I have some cars from my Initial D DVD collection as well as a Figurine of Kasumi that came with DOAU and a set of Figurines that came with Prey. All of them are still in the boxes.
As for loaning LEs... When I loan ANY GAME I put it in a an empty generic DVD case... you know the black DVD cases you can get for $10 in a pack of 8... If they scratch the disc it can always be resurfaced, and if it's a bad scratch they owe me a new one anyone... most people don't give a shit about the case.
Heck GoW, Viva Pinata and Prey all have the game discs stored in separate cases so not even I touch the LE case.
QUOTE(dvsone @ Aug 17 2007, 12:09 PM)
Yeah the faceplates limited to 5k and are numbered. But apparently they aren't going to be sold in stores? There's about 10 of them on Ebay sellin between $70 to $110 each, ouch. I want one bad. Grim should make a Bioshock 360, that would be killah.
Gamestop where I pre ordered my game is having a raffle where everyone that pre ordered the game in the store gets their name in a hat and a chance to win the faceplate.
If you signed up early on the Cult of Rapture forums you could have got one for free just for sending them an email... reading through that site I wish I had signed up they got all kinds of free stuff like limited edition t-shirts and pens that look like Pasmids.
I don't actually own any faceplates and the BioShock faceplate while cool is one of those that only looks good when the console is vertical so I wont be heartbroken if I don't win it.
I've always wanted a PGR3 faceplate though... maybe if I win the BioShock one I can trade someone for a PGR3.
Post by: jimjom on August 17, 2007, 11:50:00 AM
ive had that reserved for a while. my friend is a manager at gamestop and ive been trying to get him to give me that faceplate! I aint selling it! I'm gonna rock that sucka!!btw, ive had two hours sleep and im going unconscious at intermitent times. bioshock is the first game in a long while to do that to me. this. game. owns.
I can honestly say, at this point, and I feel I'm almost halfway through, its the best game I have played on 360 as of yet. The story, graphics, gunplay, rpg elements are all fantastic. The reviews are by no means overrating it. I'd give it a solid 9.
IF I HAD TO GRIPE ABOUT SOMETHING....
theres a FEW weak textures here and there. I.E. some oil slicks and melted ice spots get a bit pixeley and seem misplaced contrasted against a massive world of detail. And in some rooms, looking out into the water, the 'outside' world is OBVIOUSLY a crappy looking one dimension picture desperately trying to represent a 3D realm, doesnt look good at all. Especially when you just came from a room where the outside portion in that room was fully rendered. :/ Those two things are the only reason it doesnt get perfect. LOL.
THATS NITPICKING FOR YOU!!

Well, I just wish I had an american console. Then I could have gotten it early
Asian version of the game only ships on 14th of September. That's not enough time to play because Halo 3 comes out bout 11 days after that. Damnit!Anyway, the LE looks great. No asian version either so far. So another let down. But the game... the game looks gorgeous. The demo was amazing. I downloaded a 20 minute gameplay video and it's the most gorgeous game I've seen so far. Hell, I can't wait to play it.
