Bioshock - worth the wait

mrbudgie · Aug 26, 2007

what a fab game, and it looks great and runs very well on my system well impressed.

Weer · Aug 26, 2007

IGN and GT gave it a 9.5. Gamespot gave it a 9.0, which is a 9.5 in the same sense that they gave GOW a 9.3 and IGN gave it a 9.8 which was more deserving.

Awesome game, too bad the PC version sucks. I'll be borrowing my friend's 360 to play through it after it comes out.

Irish_PXzyan · Aug 26, 2007

ive bought it on thursday from play.com. I wont get it tho till like wednesday or thursday

...I really should of bought it in my local store!

Anyone..after hearing you say it sucks on PC...what is wrong?? iam worried now :eek:

Or is it just that your PC cant hack it?

HookeyStreet: I like you..and you like me.. So I can trust you! What do you think of the game so far?? have you played Prey?? did you love it?? if so..how much better is it compared to prey??

the pc version does'nt suck.console versions suck imo.

lemonadesoda · Aug 26, 2007

The game seems to be ok. But the "publishers" are screwing with your ability to use the software due to SecuROM. Upgrade your PC (or move the HDD) and you can't reinstall the game. THAT SUCKS BIG TIME. http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=38316

the games pretty fun so far did have some problems but they were easily fixed it runs great for me

AsRock · Aug 26, 2007

Pretty console ish. Maybe i've been spoiled by playing FEAR with it's effect. I like it it is playable to me i hear it has a good story to. BUT as lemonadesoda says they made a mess with it due to Securerom. So going wait till it's a lot cheaper and hopfully will not have the restrictions it has..

SHAME..

Oh, but it is. You can only install the game 3 times. And a *new* install is counted for every change in hardware.

They RECENTLY CHANGED this rule to 5 times. But there's still that "method" going on, whether or not you like the new limit of 5 installs. And I don't like that method.

How many reformats of upgrades have you done in your "PC life". And do you want to buy something that is guaranteed NOT to work if the SecuROM "licence management server on the internet" fails or goes bust.

Richieb0y · Aug 27, 2007

this is the best game in a while(SP) before it was hl2

its sure 50 euros whort

Read the whole story. If you deauth it first, then re-install, it doesn't count as an activation. And if you reach your activation limit on a machine, you can call customer service.

But I agree, it's a ridiculous thing to have in a game. The pirates will still get it, so it only becomes a hassle for legal owners. Kinda backwards, imo.

BarnyMiler · Aug 27, 2007

There needs to be a 3rd option:

"Didn't wait that long because didn't know about it until recently, but looking forward to playing it soon."

I'd pick that one. I've been looking forward to it for the past several months, but not years as I guess some fans have??

bassmasta · Aug 27, 2007

i dont understand much of the problem. as i understand it, you can put it on 2 machines. if you need more than that, they probably expect you to buy another copy, anyway. also, if you write reviews and plan to use this a benchmark, you can just de-authorize it. i really dont understand why people are so irritated by it. i'm picking it up this weekend, along with a new copy of bf2 {cd too damaged for a re-install}

Bioshock - worth the wait

Worth Wait

Yes - Good things come to those who wait

No - Took them that long to bugger it up
