BioShock 2

[rage]

i just played it a little bit. so far so good. looks a bit better than before. may also be that with the first bioshock i was stuck with dx 9 hardware
love the dual wielding of weapons and plasmids.

the 3D option, i guess its only available for nvidia cards? couldn't find much info on it.
i watched avatar in 3D last month and the thought of gaming this way would be realy cool.
now it seems to be there and i can't use it

thats not true. remember your flashback sequence in persephone. the ending of the game is more dependant on your actions than harvesting or rescuing the last little sister. there are more endings than just good or bad.

trust me on this... im in the credits

Wait I'm confused. Right now I've been rescuing them. Does that mean I'll see the good ending? But If I rescue all but the last I'll get the bad? What are choices do you have that could alter the ending?

Just making my way through the Paupers drop level really enjoying the game so far.

is there any way to apply AA in this game?

Ok this game just crashed on me, I swear computers are really annoying all the time, it happened when I was fighting one of those defensive big daddies.

I finally found the game yesterday. I was pissed off it doesn't have 360 controller support.

I've played it and beat it two times already...... one with saving all the girls and killing all bad characters and one with killing everything!!!

Come on, whos played it already? It looks amazing! Ive got it waiting for me at home.......but Im at work all day

I will pop back l8r and let you all know what I think of it (hopefully its as good as the first)

Great game...... I love the story line I love it even more than the first one. I think the game play was very nice...... the add of harder and stronger villains was great! There was a lack of bosses in the game that you had to defeat.....instead of any bosses most of the time it was usually just a horde of splicers and big daddies. You will have a chance to play as a little sister also you will have a chance to team up with a big sister. There are four alter net ending which two of which I have seen in real game play..... and the other two I have seen on you tube. Also appears now that there might not be another sequel considering Rapture is now laying at a bottom of an abyss at the end! But that doesn't mean that they won't go back in time like they went forward in time with this one.

The on line play has a little bit of merit! But the online play is definitely not the strong suite of the game. Although it does give a healthy dose of competition! There are several different levels and characters you can achieve in online play. Even becoming a big daddy.

One sour note I did notice..... that when using the ATI 9.12 Hotfix drivers and while in the Gene bank switching genes you can get some flickering. Not absolutely horrible but it is still noticeable!

Overall it's too early to tell if it will be the 2010 game of the year. But It will definitely be a contender IMO! It does take longer to get through the game than the first one. Toke me about 7 hours the first time. Mainly because I was looking around and enjoying it. the second time a little shorter. Hope this helps!!!

In the game it's self .... no there is no way to set up for AA..... but if you go into ATI CCC or Nvidia control panel you can set it there..... so it doesn't depend on the application while playing. So basically you will have to set up a profile for AA and AF in you Grphx card control panel.

Yeah same here, you'd think a games for windows would support it outta the box, but noooo microsoft suk! even crysis works straight away and the control scheme works perfect for it, maybe a patch will fix the issue!

 

[Triprift]

I havnt even played it today better get to it.

It worked for the first one. So why not this one? Keyboard and mouse is good for a monitor/desk but I want to play on my projector. Keyboard and mouse is awkward sitting on a couch.

Im up to Fontaine futuristics is there much to go ppl?

 

[HookeyStreet]

trust me on this... im in the credits

Would you kindly tell me why?

 

[Lionheart]

I'm sure you can try to Force AA through CC.

And yeah the game crashed on me as well during a very hectic Big Sister fight, right when she was about to die. Had to do it all over. Be sure to save often.

i just finished the game on hard with no VC took about 16 hours taking my time searching every were, and im sick off people crying about no gamepad support thats what half the posts on 2K are about its a PC game if you want to use a gamepad buy it on console people should read the back off the box before buying it the games got 3 ending and a two way choice at the end so 6 ending all together, and there is no AA its an old engine same one used in the 1st bioshock, and sick of noob saying it to hard lol i wish it was harder

Im up to Fontaine futuristics is there much to go ppl?

your 2 levels away from the end of the game

 

[HossHuge]

im sick off people crying about no gamepad support thats what half the posts on 2K are about its a PC game if you want to use a gamepad buy it on console people should read the back off the box before buying it the games

It makes me laugh when people get angry about something that doesn't affect them at all. It's just me saying "Wow I'm angry at the fare increase on the London underground!"

And as far as reading the back of the box goes, I have HAWX, L4d, TF2, Far Cry 2 and Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway downstairs all with 360 controller support and not a thing written about it on the box.

Happy Chinese New Year!!....

 

[LiveOrDie]

it piss's me off because people winge about it on 2K forums some people even returned the game because of it buy a dam console or f**k off and it is on the back of the box all (games for windows) have the info on the box even a logo

I have a question, those who are having crashing issues, are you buying the disc of BS2 or getting it via steam?
