Well after reading all the drawbacks about this game I think I'm gonna hold off for now. No AA, no proper widescreen support, WTF is this?

That being said, it certainly doesn't strike me as the "OMG BEST GAME EVAR MADE!!1" that a lot of the review sites are saying.

So this game does not support true widescreen. What a joke.
"Here, we added options for widescreen in the resolution list!!1!"
"haha fooled you, we just chopped the top and bottom off! lawlz"
Wouldn't the other way around just be cutting the sides off? I prefer a wider FOV with widescreen, it's true, but there's a right way and a wrong way to complain about it.
No.
Are you saying that they only have 16:10 and not 16:9? 'Cause they have 1440x900; which is considered widescreen.
No, I'm saying that while they offer widescreen resolutions, you actually see less than someone with a 4:3 monitor.

The red section is what you don't see because you bought a monitor designed to show you more, not less.
tsk tsk 2K, tsk tsk.
Meh, I'm not complaining. I didn't even notice anything strange about it. I'm just patiently waiting for it to be released on Steam...

After all the hype and reviews, I felt like I would be the only one thinking this after finishing the demo...

I really wouldn't worry about the widescreen cutoff issue. That seems like a field of view problem and should be easily fixed.

After all the hype and reviews, I felt like I would be the only one thinking this after finishing the demo. The sound does a good job of creating a freaky atmosphere but the gameplay has been mediocre so far. It felt like a cross between FEAR and Oblivion, with less action. I don't feel engaged at all. The graphics are great in places, weak in others. Not sure what's with all the shiny everywhere. It reminded me of Doom 3 when people complained everything looked plastic. No idea what FPS I was getting but it was very smooth and stable.
1440x900
8800GTS 320MB
C2D 6300
2GB
XP, DX9
No AA and cut-down widescreen = booourns.
I'll wait for a price-drop before I get this :brokenheart:

It has to achieve the <$30 price range.
I think it's a bit much to expect a demo to leave you with the impression that it's the best game you've ever played. I found it really atmospheric, and can't believe it would generate the reviews it has from people who have played the entire game if it didn't transcend the traditional shooter during the course of the gameplay.
If you're holding out on buying this game, exactly what does a game have to achieve for you to buy it? It's nearly universally hailed as the second coming. You're allowed to disagree, but I wouldn't base my opinion of the game just on a 10 minute demo. The people who've seen more have been extremely impressed.

I posted a topic yesterday about an error occuring when I downloaded the bioshock demo. I just finished getting it on Steam today and when I went to launch the program it started installing C++ Redistributable.
Suddenly stopping, it popped up saying, "The Feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." Then it asks to try again or browse for an alternative path to "vcredist.msi."
Sorry to bother again but does anyone have any idea what this is or where vcredist.msi would be and why I need it for Bioshock?
Thanks again
