And it's damn good too.
Is it stuck at a certain %?Tokubetsu said:
If so, just pick something else to download (preferably a Bioshock video) and force the Bioshock video to start downloading, then go back to the Bioshock demo and start downloading it again. It will then show the true percentage downloaded of the demo.
If your demo download really is frozen, then my condolences
Are you still holding off downloading the demo?Fallout-NL said:

Yeah it's been stuck. What do you mean force it to download?
Choose another item to download and select "Download Now" on that. That will stop the Bioshock download. Then immediately go back to the Bioshock download and select "Download Now" to start it again.Tokubetsu said:
The % downloaded should jump from like 37% to 55% or whatever. For some reason the counter stops making it look like the download has frozen (but it hasn't and it's still downloading in the background). That's what it did with mine anyway.
This is the truth.Thermite said:

You have not fapped enough to this thread, that is why.Tokubetsu said:
just literally ran through the demo and had to say, any doubts i had about bioshock are eliminated. its crazy awesome. the graphics are the best i've ever seen, the atmosphere, second to none. the gameplay seems deep, but not overly complicated (as i feared). i was planing on buying it before, but now i'm anxiously awaiting it like almost nothing else (*cough halo 3)

A second thank you today! God, that is evocative and I guess a little poignant (though, I'm afraid of little sister).Prvt.Pegleg said:
Maybe she should be, too.
I don't know what the hell I'm doing...be kind!

Oh, I know. But Pedo Bear isn't nearly as scary as Big Daddy.Eric WK said:

Honestly, this is the absolute best demo ive played in a long time. The art is beautiful, the story is captivating, the music is classic, this game absolutely rocks. Cant wait till the full game.

Guys this thread keeps falling out of the top 10 active, we need to keep it going. At this rate we are never going to beat the Oblivion thread.
Let's get this party started with these discussion points:
- Bioshock = Halo 3 killer
- Bioshock looks better then Killzone 2
- Running from Big Daddies burns off more calories then playing Wii Fit
- Mass Effect??? More like Mass: Who Cares, This Game Will Have No Effect When Bioshock Is Released
- Nintendo DS, I am trading that shit in to pay for the CE Edition Of Bioshock
NOW FIGHT!!!

Only pansies fly around in space, real men fight under the sea. Like in the Little Mermaid. Now discuss.Eric WK said:

Who wants to fight in the jungle against quasi-futuristic soldiers when you can fight diving suit men with drills for arms.UncleGuito said:

Microsoft should be allocating all of their possible bandwidth to get this demo out to the masses. Including shutting down non-essential servers such as Windows Updates and the MSDN .NET Online reference.

You're a bit late, but it's definitely worth a repost.Quellex said:
I played the demo once before going to bed last night and all day at work all I can think about is going back to Rapture. All the good games stick in my head like that. The game is like a dream and I'm not sure that I've woken up from it.
The OP should be updated to reflect this awesome.

They need to make a printed, hard-bound artbook. I will buy it. I will. Art-deco and Modern are two of the greatest design paradigms ever. If I could afford it, I'd buy every George Nelson clock, Le Corbusier couch, and Eames chair I could find.Quellex said:Oh snap, already posted? (Bioshock Artbook)
Anyway, here it is again for anyone that's missed it.

Make it happen Irrational, please.
Their website still has the Irrational graphic so I ain't changing.
And that picture I made makes no sense (I looked again), but it was fun learning teh Photoshop.
