Official BIOSHOCK Discussion Thread (Volume 2) - 3 day suspension for ignoring

Thanks to bioshock does anyone have bobby darin's "beyond the sea" stuck in their heads now?

" Somewhere, beyond the seas, somewhere, waiting for me..."

You realize PC gamers have PC gamers sound cards for a reason right?

It may be impractical for you, maybe your lazy I don't know, but anyone can hang 7 speakers anywhere.

You don't build a machine capable of playing Bioshock with 7.1 sound and then use headphones.

TemplaerDude

Depends, with the good set of cans you can get better sound than you can with speakers.

[QUOTE="InsaneBasura"][QUOTE="TemplaerDude"][QUOTE="InsaneBasura"]

Yeah, graphics graphics graphics, graphics graphics.... Audio is pretty important in this game. You need a decent solution for this. 2.0 speakers is gonna poop on the game's audio design.

TemplaerDude

You realize PC gamers also have PC gamer sound cards with 7.1 sound usually?

Yes. I'm not sure how many actually take advantage of their sound cards though. Usually there's no practical way of placing 5-7 speakers and a sub around a desk. For most people a decent set of headphones would probably be a better solution.

I have a corner desk. It's obviously highly dependant on where your PC is placed and the layout of the room etc. If you have the money, will and possibility to set something up then neato, but I kinda doubt the majority does. As mentioned you'd also need a decent sound card and actual speakers. The impression I get is that people often overlook the importance of a decent sound setup. In a game like Bioshock it's really important. All I did was try and make people realize that. So I don't get the hostility.

man i'm getting impatient here...i wanna see how this baby scores! :cry:mwa

me too, actually. I really hope we don't have to wait till tuesday, lol.

I guess we know why Peter Moore left town...

quite frankly, this post did not get enough attention.

DO NOT look at the secret achievements list up front if you don't want MAJOR spoilers and some RUINED story elements... You have been warned.remaGloohcSdlO

some jerk over at the 2k forums didn't give me a chance on one or two of them :(

If GS gave it less than 9.5 , then I will never read another GS review xDSonyntendo

It will probably get a 10 here. GS has been praising the game for 2 years.

By the way, love the reviews so far. Can't wait to get this game Tuesday.

Uhm does the majority mean who you know or what? I have a nice 5.1 setup in my computer room, as does piles of other people, as shown in [h]ardocp, and other forums.

Doesn't matter what you're playing it on, this is the best game i've played in a while! I was playing for a few hours last night & i didnt want to stop. :P I had a few of my friends over & not 1 cared that it was single player, they got lost into this game. It was like they were just as excited as i was playing. lol This is definately a game im gonna play more than once!

The Toys R Us around where I lived accidentally sold copies of Bioshock

The mamager at my EB games bought a copy and i'm suppose to be going to his house to play when he gets off work

anyone know if they are still going to have a PC demo before the game launches?

I think the hostility comes from you being a cocky dipstick over something you don't seem to understand.

God bless the SDF. I used to think Wii60 was bad but these clowns take the cake. And I love how they just now started a review section for the sole purpose of crapping on Bioshock. I bet Keywii is the webmaster.

Yet you assume every console gamer has an HDTV and a nice surround sound speakers like you? Oh the hipocracy of SW shows again.

AHA HA HA HA HA LOLz !

Dude, IGN gave Bioshock a 9.7 and other websites have given it a 10.

Judging by the lame scores of Killzone 1 (6.9), I think we can safely say that Killzone 2 will follow the route of its older brother, and that is in the graveyard of the ps3 !!!

Nah, you were right. You need the internet one time to install it. And from what I've been reading on some forums....the servers aren't up to activate your copy yet.

And I don't get what it is I supposedly don't understand. The majority of PC owners do not have X-Fi sound cards and 5.1 speaker setups. That is a fact. What I don't understand is why people get so pissy about this.

Well I am getting it on the 360 (my PC wouldn't run it that well, and I spend the money I was planning on using for upgrading on my PS3), I am waiting for Gamestop to relase it, They are keeping the street date, so I am waiting with you.
