If you don't use a value with six decimal places, the game will try to correct it. In your case, that happened to work out, but it generally doesn't.

There is a rumor that its timed exclusive for Tencents new thing.
For old people BioShock is just System Shock in Underwater with style of the 50s. Which isn't really true, the Bioshock games dumped a lot of the complexity of those games. For one, I wouldn't think of them as immersive sims, really. Too little interactivity. The DLC for Infinite came close, perhaps.
They beat Half Life to the punch.
Haha, well, I wouldn't go placing bets just yet as there's not even so much as a release window (although that may change in a few days).

I fear the day of Tencent getting games off Taiwanese Steam, because China is not above making petty moves in civil spaces.
i am beginning to hate timed exklusives, it is so unnecessary on pc
so august release?

Isn't it more like the style of the 20s and 30s?

Bioshock 1 & 2 > system shock 2
We don't know where Infinite is at. Probably dead somewhere.

But Infinite is the peak of the franchise and one of the greatest games of all time
with the exception of the worst designed final boss ever conceived
The gameplay got significantly worse and lost almost all the RPG elements that made SS2 unique.

Ken Levine is the Daniel Gildenlöw of videogames.
I'm currently playing through DOOM. It's been sitting on my SSD for a while, slowly growing in size and consuming space like some all consuming monster, so I figured it was about time to play it and delete it. Turns out it's just as good as the hype said. Really enjoying the mobility and gunplay.

No way, SS2 is a much better game.

It got a lot more guided and systemically simplified, but I don't know if it's fair to say the gameplay of BioShock was significantly worse than SS2. In SS2 you're trying to wrench and pistol your way through zombies and telekinetic monkeys while it all feels terrible and your pistol's disintegrating into dust after 5 shots and everything's clumsy as all get out. BioShock just made things more immediate and action-oriented, so while I find the series a huge disappointment due to the potential of the lineage of what it was a successor of, I can't really say that the gameplay got a whole lot worse. Setting traps for Big Daddies, the various synergies you can pull off in combat, being able to hack things on the fly to fight alongside you, the options in combat were more varied -- it's just that it stripped a whole lot down surrounding that that made the prior series feel special.
But it doesn't really matter, PreyShock is looking to be better than either.

I don't know who that is.

I don't know what that comparison means.

Just prog rock nerdism.
He's made egotistical rock opera albums with the same subtlety of Levine about politics and such.

At least y'all aren't talking shit about System Shock 1.
In SS2 there was more to gameplay than shooting or whacking things. The weapons degradation was annoying for sure, but hacking, researching, modifying weapons and exploring let you pick your battles and approaches to situations. In bioshock your options are whether to shoot, burn or freeze your way through dudes.

No reason to talk shit about a terrible game. It's mean to keep kicking while it's already down on the ground.

That's where the systems come to play, and BioShock had all those elements as well, but the moment to moment is a lot of skulking around in samey looking corridors hoping you don't get zapped by brain monkeys, and when you actually do commit to an engagement, hoo boy, it's just the most janky thing. BioShock made that so so SO much better, but its disappointments (to me) was having that come at the cost of making everything else so simple and non-committal.
But maybe that's just Ken Levine's genius at work, a man chooses, a slave obeys and all that, so for BioShock they removed all meaningful choices away in character building! :OOO
Levine's genius was copying the main plot twist from SS2 for Bioshock and the spiraling the drain with BS2 and Infinite. I'm happy that new people are trying the formula now.
Honestly, reading this, Bioshock seems like the better game to me. I'm all for more simplified gameplay and less mechanics.
It is certainly more popular and a better idea for a AAA game, we can agree on that. Nice that Arkane is allowed to do their thing for now. Not that it will last for long, if at any moment their games don't hit Zenimax expectations. For now, things seems to be going great for them though.

After playing Bioshock 2 + DLC few days ago Bioshock Infinite is still best Bioshock to me.
Oh, boy.
glad there is still at least some gameplay diversity in AAAs .... as i am the opposite i dont really enjoy overly simplified gameplay with couple shalow mechanics ..... and Arcane is one of the best teams to do the my kind of gameplay

Morning, SteamGAF.
It's been a rough couple of days for me. Been feeling really discouraged and down, so I think today shall be filled with vidja games.
Probably a day or two of Stardew Valley, a few puzzles in Paint It Back, a movie's worth of puzzles in Slayaway Camp, and something new. Not sure what yet, but something short and with trading cards. Maybe some Rocket League,too, before the free weekend expires. I had a surprising amount of fun with that.

Different people like different things. I would like some niches to survive instead of everything getting boiled down to the basic AAA paradigm as was happening for a while.
