*OLD*Official Bioshock Thread

hey guys,
first, let me say this. you DO NOT NEED TO USE THE INTERNET EVERY TIME YOU PLAY THIS GAME. it is only the first time.

second, you can uninstall and reinstall this game, and if, by chance, you have 2 computers you want to simultaneously play this game on, you also can do that.

if by some chance you are reinstalling this game without uninstalling it first, a lot, there is a chance you may have to call securom and get a key, or deactivate some older installations.

but if you upgrade your hardware next week, you'll still be able to play the game. if you revamp your system and need to reinstall bioshock, just uninstall it before you go through the overhaul, and then do your reinstall.

calling it "hardware fingerprinting" is a bit alarmist. we do not transmit any of your data to any companies.

really, the only people who will be concerned about any of these security measures are those who are rapidly putting bioshock on many pcs... if you use the game as you normally do, you won't notice this at all



ANY MORE QUESTIONS?

First Bold: This seems like BS. I have never heard of a ANY game allowing this, unless it is freeware or something.

Second Bold: More BS... I love how people can make blanket statements like that... Actually, I don't love it, I hate it. The people who are concerned are users on this forum who have been bit in the ass by DRM. If DRM keeps getting worse and worse you are going to find the average joe pirating anything he can get his hands on, just to make a statement. I am becoming less and less sympathetic to publishers whining about pirates. Everygame gets cracked anyway, so why not treat your customers like customers rather than criminals.

Bottom line - 2 Installs = the suck.

Dude, Frackle makes some great points and your rebuttal was just weak.

Anyway, I did happen to fire up HL1 just about two weeks ago and I played for about 5 minutes because I got tired of looking at that UGLY game.

You see, there is a difference between NES and SNES sprite based games. They never looked good in the first place. Never... But HL1 was a 3D Engine based game designed to be beautiful for its time. It is like the difference between watching a 50 year old romance movie and watching a 50 year old action movie. The action movie just plain sucks, while the romance movie can hold its own, because it was never about the special effects. That is my take on it. So HL1 was a great game for its time, but my God, the game is boring as heck now AND majorly ugly...

Just wanted to add to this to an overall statement to the people who played the demo.

I understand where you are coming from. The demo left a lot to be questioned. There wasn't a real good sense of the game. The good stuff is a little later on. I don't realize it when I'm in the game playing but there is a HUGE amount of detail, time and effort put into this game. You say poor level design? Or boring levels? How many did you play? In terms of graphics - what's your system spec like? Maybe you're just not up to par, happens when the changing and growing technologies. Whatever though, the demo was the demo. Sorry you didn't enjoy it enough to experience the full game.

 

[Regs]

The demo was smooth for me at 1680 x 1050 at max (without DX10) of course. The water and particle effects had my eyes roll back into my head! Just wow.

The textures and surfaces did look a little too glossy at times...but still look great for all intensive purposes. The character models and the atmosphere is just amazing. The sound effects are also great. The whole 50's thing was an excellent idea.

I didn't see many jaggies at all. The guns and the plasmids are f'ing cool. This is just a 10-20 min demo. I can not wait to get my hands on the retail tomorrow.

All I see in this thread are a bunch of whiney HL2 fans without their sequel. :brokenheart:

I seriously don't get why people are so obsessed with HL and why they have to compare it to everything out today. To tell you the truth I didn't even have to read the thread to know that someone was going to mention HL2 and the statement above was just a guess it is why this topic is now 14 pages long.

In all honesty I think this game is finally what we needed in the industry. Killing made fun and graphics using up to date technology.

What I am having a very very very (very!) had time understanding is why you are so concerned with the people who didn't like the game? It is almost as if your self esteem is attached to this game or something. Do you work for this company or something? It just seems extremely odd that you are apologetic towards the people who didn't enjoy the game...

I do not see that at all. In fact, a lot of us thought HL2 was overrated as well.

Perfectly said. Especially with 2K forums, we should expect a patch. Hopefully it will come within a month? I'll play it again to arrive at a different ending. More DX10 besides water? Time will tell...

Before the various websites and mags have had time to move from reporting to editorializing the story, we already have G4 on air cast saying are you stupid for including such a restrictive measure.

 

[CrystalBay]

If you played FEAR you played secure rom.... Also Pnkbuster is way more intrusive and resource intensive ...

Lol. It was pity. Pity on them for not being able to enjoy such a great game. I'm only defending the game because the attacks against it are basically stupid. Why don't you ask the people bashing it why they don't like it?

 

[Fraggable]

One more thing they did really well that isn't talked about much is the sound. This is the first game I've played where the sound was truly 'surrounding'. I was trying to track down the splicer that kept disappearing, and he ran through a hallway behind me, casting a shadow on the wall in front of me. The footsteps I would swear were right behind my chair and it scared the living crap out of me.

The game is fun. If you can't overlook the shortcomings then you're going to miss a really great game.

Well you spend all your posts announcing why this game is lame or that game is great, and your wording makes it sound like anyone who disagrees is wrong. So I think people feel the need to rebut.

Agree 100%...I find it hard to believe that people are making their judgements based on the demo. The game does not get good and truly engrossing until you are well into the first level IMO. (WAY past where the demo takes you...)

Bottom line - 2 Installs = the suck.

This is information from 2K themselves. I don't understand why you call it BS.

If you ever need more than 2 installs, you CALL THEM. God forbid you make human contact. This is the same thing as Windows XP activation. They will GIVE you a new key.

Bottom line: This is not an issue because you will always be able to haev an install. If you can't install for some other, technical reason, that is different.

Wow, imagine that, I spend all my time posting about things I dislike and like about games! Errr, wait... What is wrong with that? Isn't that what everyone does? Or do some people only post the good without the bad? Kinda like the reviewers? Yeah, because people never want to be warned of any potential short comings... Nope, never!

on the 2k forums people are having this problem and can't get it fixed. NOBODY knows what to do. people are being told that they have to wait until people come back from vacation to get it fixed.

great planning on 2k's part.

Well if calling doesn't work right now, that is 2K's fault. I doubt that 2K would leave customers out to dry though, so hopefully it'll be dealt with soon. You have to wonder though, how in the 9 circles of hell did these people install and uninstall twice?

Ok, so you have a Laptop, and you have a Desktop. That is the boat I am in... I travel a lot! So, I install the game on my laptop that is powered by ATI graphics. It doesn't run right, so I uninstall the game, and reinstalling it. Same thing... Now, I do the same on my desktop, except that is using nVidia. So, what are the chances the game's graphic drivers are the problem? Not as likely as the game itself being the problem... So, I do the same thing. Bingo, all my installs are done. Now, what if someone decided to reinstall their OS as a result? I find it VERY likely to use up 3-4 installs...

Laptop - Install (used one)
Laptop - Reinstall (There goes #2)

Still does not work... Ok, lets try Desktop

Desktop - Failed install - too many activations. Real hard to duplicate, eh?

I'm definitely an eye candy whore, but I've failed to see all these inconsistencies that have been mentioned. Maybe I'm just too tired or too sick of work, but wake up and smell the gameplay.

And just because the graphics aren't amazing (which I think is debatable) I fail to see an inconsistency in quality throughout the game.

And by "game for the game" I mean for the gameplay. I don't play games to look at pretty pictures, I play games for the gameplay.

From playing it, (IMO), it's a game with a great premise and enjoyable gameplay, with graphics that make it difficult to enjoy at a level that HL2 or Far Cry et al have been, because of the poorer appearance, particularly at higher resolutions or widescreen.

There is no reason for you to be so concerned with what I think of the game. My impression is as I've described, and it's not going to change because I've read a post or two that you've written here.

There's no reason for you to be concerned over what other people think of your opinion, in that case. Their impression of you is as they've described, and it's not oging to change because they've read a post or two that you've written here.

Your particular tastes are not universal, either. It is a good game. A great game even. Why don't you go play some oblivion to get your graphics fix, and them come back to Bioshock when you want a deeply immersive, creepy, and downright twisted world?

I'm definitely an eye candy whore, but I've failed to see all these inconsistencies that have been mentioned. Maybe I'm just too tired or too sick of work, but wake up and smell the gameplay.

And just because the graphics aren't amazing (which I think is debatable) I fail to see an inconsistency in quality throughout the game.

And by "game for the game" I mean for the gameplay. I don't play games to look at pretty pictures, I play games for the gameplay.

From playing it, (IMO), it's a game with a great premise and enjoyable gameplay, with graphics that make it difficult to enjoy at a level that HL2 or Far Cry et al have been, because of the poorer appearance, particularly at higher resolutions or widescreen.

There is no reason for you to be so concerned with what I think of the game. My impression is as I've described, and it's not going to change because I've read a post or two that you've written here.

There's no reason for you to be concerned over what other people think of your opinion, in that case. Their impression of you is as they've described, and it's not oging to change because they've read a post or two that you've written here.

lol man that flew over your head in a big way.

his comeback was so lame he didnt understand a damn thing. nice try buddy.

shrug. you two are peas in a pod anyways as my reply to your post above shows. you both act all indignant with your comments of 'i dont understand why you comment or this or that' or 'why is it so important to comment on opinion'

at the VERY SAME time you are doing the same thing.

You are really reaching dude... I mean, really... I don't believe I ever told anyone they couldn't have an opinion. Where did I say that?

Edit ** Looks like you changed your post a bit.

Eidt 2 ** BTW - I am not going to be responding to you anymore in this thread, I don't want to clutter up this thread with useless banter out of respect for the people here, and for the mods that have to weed through it. - If you want to discuss this further, PM me.
