Re: Bioshock (PC/360)

This game totally blew away my expectations, its been awhile since I played a FPS with an intriguing story.

GOTY, let's hope they are making System Shock 3.

EA owns the rights to System Shock.

Nobody Wanted BioShock

BioShock’s senior designer has strong words for a play-it-safe industry that at one point dubbed BioShock as “just another [expletive] PC FPS that's going to sell 250,000 units."

Ive been downloading for about 3 hours and its only at around 17%. I guess all the great reviews of it are making non-believers give it a try. How long did it take everyone else?

They'll live to regret that. Bioshock will probably sell over a million after word gets out how great it really is.

Probably took me about 5-6 hours, I started it last night and went to bed.

I dl'd it earlier today, it took me about 45 minutes. Anyway, I didn't play all the way through, I might give it another run later, but it didn't seem like my type of game. I'll probably pass on it. Too many good games coming out this fall.

Re: Bioshock (PC/360)

I got to the point where I surfaced inside the building and that thing killed the guy... and I chickened out.

My download got done at amost 2am while i was halfways asleep. I said, the hell with it, i am going to try it out. I had no clue it was a horror game. I thought it was just a FPS like a Halo or something. Boy was i wrong. I jumped a few times. Especially the first time when the long chair thing comes rolling down the stairs.

Also, hearing that mother talking to the crib was freaky as hell.

The game is real impressive. It's not as creepy as System Shock 2 based on the demo, but that's a good thing as that game messed with my mind. I might be able to finish this one.

A friend just gave me his copy of System Shock 2. I installed the hi res updates. What's so creepy about it and how did it mess with you, just curious?

I guess the main difference is the difficulty. Thirty minutes into System Shock 2 you can't shoot fire and lighting from one hand and spew bullets from the other. You would likely be out of bullets and running from zombie-like creatures. The games are similar, but SS2 leans more toward survival-horror while Bioshock leans more toward shooter-horror.

Also, the zombies in SS2 were way more creepy in the way that they talked. Some of the things the bad guys in Bioshock say are kind of amusing.

Edit:

If I remember correctly...Even if you had bullets in SS2, you may miss your target if your stats sucked in that area which only added to the tension.
