Bioshock Discussion Thread - 9.0! (Unstickied now)

[QUOTE="FancyKetchup25"]

I can officially report that this problem happens, i bought the game today and into the second level it seems that whenver i use my lightning plasma or something big happens it freezes up for about a second. kinda annoying, shame really cause the rest of the game is supurb.

istreakforfood

really? i put about 4-5 hours into the game and i havent encountered any of the problems jeff mentioned in the review. i even turned on maximize framerate option.

[QUOTE="istreakforfood"][QUOTE="FancyKetchup25"][QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"][QUOTE="PelekotansDream"]

But the visuals aren't without flaw--the game has an annoying seizure problem that almost looks like a correctable bug. On some consoles, the game hitches up and totally freezes for anywhere from one to five seconds at a time, then proceeds as if nothing happened.

I actually find that shocking, its the only part that really bothered me. See the great thing about consoles, well one of the great things is I shouldn't have to worry about system requirements but it would seem that not every 360 can play this game properly, yeah that sucks.

It's quite weird that none of the other "big" reviews mentioned this problem. Also, none of the people who got their hands on it early have mentioned this problem.

I still think it's the 360 they were using, because no one else has had these issues.

If anything, you helped fix the problem. Maximizing framerates doesn't mean stressing the hardware more but actually less.

Yeah and it also detracts from the visual quality with that feature on. How much so? I'm not sure because I don't use the feature

I have a question please help...

I got the Telekenesis power now but for some reason the lighting one is gone... where'd it go? I prefer that one over fire cause it stops them for a bit. Anyone know what happened? I cycled through and it's like I lost it

I wonder if the PS3 version will be as overrated as the 360 version. Probably not, the PS3 AAAs aren't overrated.DaysAirlines

The ps3 has AAA games?

DAMN IT!!!!!!!!

I guess I'll learn to live with the damn incinerate!!

Hey there's a door with a four passcode lock on it. Is there a way to open it or should I not bother?

I bought the game today..and i must say wow, it's just awesome :o:...i am running short of words to just describe how amazing this game is.

Good job 2K Boston *thumbs up*

I have to agree with the naysayers. I put around 3 hours into that game today and it's a great game, but not an instant classic.

The graphics, presentation, and story are breath taking... but the combat system seems flawed to me

Yeah. I got right into to immediately, as well.--and after you get the Telekenesis plasmid, then it get's even better.

incinerate is pretty fun.

If it is where I think it is, you can find the code some where close. You need a four digit code for that door.

Bioshock is the best looking console game now. It beats Gears easily. Figures it would take an Unreal game to finally beat Gears, which is an Unreal game.

I know eh!!!? LOL

Just FYI, I'm running it at max settings on my 1.5 year old rig.NerdMan

Is the gamerakings thing true

Did it really knock hl2 out

probably already posted but the gametrailers.com review is up, 9.5. Not bad at all. I need to finish PoP:Two Thrones up first before starting Bioshock (already bought it)

so is the FOV really as bad as we hear it is?

So, has anyone else gotten AVG detecting a Trojan during install and every time you double click the exe file? Very strange, indeed. I continued with the install because I can't believe a real Trojan would find itself on a retail copy of a game, but it's a little concerning.TheCrazed420

AVG did that to me on the demo setup.exe - Strange.

I've been playing it all day, and I can't believe this game didn'tget a 9.5. I wouldn't quite give it a 10, but this is an elite game, and the score should reflect that.
