KKOB Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 But it could be a demo thing and maybe the full game is much better. wont have to wait long to find out ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choze Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I cancelled my order quickly. I will check this out when its in the bargain bin but the sorcery type action and lack of varied locale kind of puts me off enough. I would say GS were more honest with their review. The game doesnt feel that strong mechanics wise. Its not fresh, there is nothing new here. It seems like a good game but not a great one that will be remembered. Last time i listened to reviews i brought Virtua Fighter 5 which i would give a 3/10 at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game doesnt feel that strong mechanics wise. Its not fresh, there is nothing new here. It seems like a good game but not a great one that will be remembered. The environment won't be very varied in the demo as it's only a single area. The full game offers more diversity, although naturally it is all somewhat similar as it's set in an enclosed underwater city — it certainly isn't as bad as F.E.A.R.. I can fully appreciate that some people find the 'sorcery' unappealing, although it does make me wonder what you were expecting: Plasmids are somewhat the point of the game, and they aren't exactly an unpublicised feature. To be honest I don't expect everyone to get on with this game, and I can imagine quite a few people being 'decieved' by the hype train and then condemning the game for not being what they imagined it to be even if it is nothing but true to itself. Oh, and anyone bashing GameSpot for giving the game a 9 clearly has a First Class ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnold Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I had a bash of the Demo last night, thought i'd wait for everyone to stop getting it before I did, and I was actully impressed, I'm not sure if ill pick it up Friday or wait until later but I was impressed, But one thing, why do children have to be in the game, specificlly little girls in those dresses becasue they fucking freak me the fuck out. Freaky girl with weird voice and psycho dna..I got jumped a little bit, but those Big Daddy's look awsome, not loooking forward to fighting one whenever I do pick the game up (Didn't play all the demo) got jumped by those security systems and lost mah ammo and healt packs >>; One thing I am surprised about is how quick this came out, only seems like it was announced this year or something o0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKOB Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 The games environments ARE varies, just the demo isn't. A demo is a demo after all, and it's only like 20 mins of the game. I know there's an underwater garden type area in the game somewhere, that i saw on the 1up special a few months back, and it looked gorgeous! No game in the post for me today, so tomorrows the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolFunkMan Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 One thing I am surprised about is how quick this came out, only seems like it was announced this year or something o0 It was actually announced in 2004, but it wasn't so hyped then, and it had a different theme. I like the new Bioshock though. It does feel like it's arrived really quickly though. No game in the post for me today, so tomorrows the day I doubt I'll get it today as well, so it's tomorrow for me too. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtle Squad Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I said it once and i will say it again... Gamespot just do it for attention most of the time... but i couldnt careless what scores any games get. WTF my order has changed Gameplay must be sending them out early! thats a first for them! No...it isn't... Everybody who preordered special edition bioshock (or legendary halo 3) before it was removed from gameplay.co.uk will get it. It was removed because it is out of stock/there was a limited supply. I was just talking to gameplay That sucks since I was gonna order it a day or 2 before it got removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Ah, I'll pass on the game. I've found people with the same problem as me, but no solution. so, if they can't make a fully working demo, I can't see how the game runs on my PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for three deliveries today, BioShock included, and not one of them has turned up. Rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aimless Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I wouldve thought that I wouldve got mine today with 1st class post If that's with Gameplay then it's never worth paying extra for First Class on preorders, in my experience. You get it on Thursday regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanchez Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 20hrs? Don't rush the game, take your time, absorb the goodness. Well, I wasn't planning to speed run it per se, just play it at my own leisure until either i fell asleep or i finished it. >_> Besides, I think it's closer to 15 hours.
