KKOB Posted August 21, 2007 Author 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 ^_^
Choze Posted August 21, 2007 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.

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.

arnold Posted August 22, 2007 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
Cube Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 WTF? The Demo from Filefront has a trojan virus???
KKOB Posted August 22, 2007 Author 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
Chuck Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Are you sure its not too big to come in the normal post?
CoolFunkMan Posted August 22, 2007 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. ^^
Kurtle Squad Posted August 22, 2007 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
Cube Posted August 22, 2007 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.

I was hoping for three deliveries today, BioShock included, and not one of them has turned up. Rubbish.
Cube Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Welcome to PC gaming. Get used to it. I would at least expect the installer to open.
Fresh Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Just played the 360 demo. Didn't think it was all that great.

flameboy Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 after listening to Garnett on last weeks 1up I really want a 360 to get this game!
BeerMonkey Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 i loved EVERY moment of the demo cant beleive its gunna be mine at last on friday
Solo Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Play have posted my copy (with the faceplate of course) but it says please allow 3-5 days! Could this mean I wont get it until Saturday, or (gasp) Monday, I better hope not!
Sanchez Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Mine's coming tomorrow, plan to do a whole run through in one day.
Bluejay Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Mine's coming tomorrow, plan to do a whole run through in one day. 20hrs? Don't rush the game, take your time, absorb the goodness.
Guest Stefkov Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Gameplay sent mine last night apparently and GAME sent my other copy today. Awesome.
Chuck Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 I wouldve thought that I wouldve got mine today with 1st class post
Aimless Posted August 22, 2007 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.
Sanchez Posted August 22, 2007 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.
