That other BioShock thread

[D3ads]

Thanks for labeling the spoilers, if anyone spoils this for me I will send them a letterbomb

Having said that, it'll be awhile before I can play it, need to get a new GPU and I don't have much money until I get a new job

I'm absolutely shit at aiming with the xbox controller

A lot of people are, controller's just aren't as good for FPS games.

[ShaDoW]

I just bought a 360 and Bioshock (+ Blue Dragon) today. Mainly since my x800 card wasn't able to run Bioshock (SM2.0b card).

Loving the game so far, I was a bit skeptic at first if I really wanted to play Bioshock (or any shooter really) on a console. But the controller feels really smooth. I was adjusted to playing with it in under 5 minutes to be honest. I like how you can do the soft smooth movements using the analog stick. But also aim pretty fast at the same time.

Quite happy with my expensive bunch of purchases today. ^^

Just finished it. Great game. Weak ending.

Weak endings seem to be Irrationals trademark, heh heh.

:: SYSTEM SHOCK 2 SPOILER ::

Common, although the actual ending was shite, the part leading up to it was fuckin ace~having the game finally go all SS1 on you, more sequels should do that, mebbe

:: BIOSHOCK SPOILER ::

But yeah, I agree, when the entire game is this good, the end really has to be epic, and it almost seemed like they knew that and had just given up on it (I mean common, have you seen the "good" ending? Looks like something from a Japanese game ). Its pretty much the only thing thats really putting some doubt in my mind whether its a 10/10, which in the end is totally unfair when the game is overall this good

FINISH THE FUCKING GAME!

I was pretty disappointed to find out it was Fontaine tweaking my knobs after all (SHODAN style in ss2, anyone?). I had a feeling Atlas was going to butt fuck me in the end, and I was right to assume after all. However, the way it was explained to you with the whole "Would you kindly" malarkey was stupendously brilliant in every way possible. I dunno, I was hoping for something different to the Fontaine thing I suppose... something more epic than just some asshat being an... asshat. I never really got Ryan either, he was just an ego maniac being targeted by Fontaine and ended up going nuts seeing his city crumble around him thanks to Fontaine, I'm assuming?

Oh also, when you're told by Atlas he has a family etc and they're in the submarine, what was actually in there? Seeing as it was Fontaine I'm assuming it wasn't a family at all...

SPOILER, OBVIOUSLY

Yeah, I kinda expected more out of the Fontaine plot as well I guess. Especially since they already had the plot twist about halfway through the game, which kinda made me expect that they'd take it further the more I played it (And I wanted them to take it further). The entire thing with Ryan maybe wasn't explored quite enough either, the stuff with you being his son given away to some scientists was pretty well hidden (Something Irrational/2K Boston kinda want you to go outta your way to figure out).

But yeah, the plot twist was definitely the high point of the experience for me, which is definitely not a bad place to peak, just forces you to think back on the entire game rather than have the ending wrap it up for ya

this forum needs a spoiler feature!! ^^

Aaah its getting harder to dodge spoilers!

I met my first "Houdini Splicer" last night, and had turn the game off soon afterwards

'What's the matter lover? Don't you like my new... look..?'

Apparently there was a proper longish ending all planned out but due to cutbacks they had to dump it and throw together a quick pre-rendered AVI :/

[dux]

Okay. Ken Levine is god in disguise.

I want to talk to someone who's finished the game lol. Hurry up the rest of you.

Wow I finished the game last night, the last section of the game where you turn into a little sister... crazy shit!

You obviously mean Big Daddy. Although a cool idea I guess, the escort stuff just didn't feel like a proper way to end off the non-boss fight part of the end. Its not that it was really bad, just didn't feel up to par with the rest of the game imo.

Obviously I am not correct, I'm not actually lame enough to spoil it for other people
