nVidia's next cards are coming out in November. You'd honestly be pretty stupid to drop $600 on the 8800gtx with the G92/G90 cards coming out in 3 months (especially if the rumors of the G90 are true).

I'd either get a 360 at this point (if you were planning on getting one eventually) or just play Bioshock at what your computer can handle it until November hits.

You can get an 8800GTX for $500 before rebate nowadays, or you could go with EVGA and then just use the step-up program.

Better. And sadder.

FYI for you west coasters: I just scored a copy in Albuquerque at TRU

 

[oldboy1]

Can those same people please tell me if the subs have been fixed in the final game? They don't synch very well in the demo & I've pinned all my hopes on the fact that they've hopefully fixed them.

not quite sure if they liked it or not.

Fuck yes. Game of the Year confirmed. Again.

 

[DuckRacer]

I'm not positive if this is real or not (or if this has been reposted a bajillion times), but supposedly the BioShock TV ad now says "Available Now".

Maybe it's because there are people playing this and they're not me, but boy it feels good to say

I'm in the same boat as you, and I think it would be wiser to wait. Currently, I have a 7900GS that won't max the game out at all, but at least I'll be able to play. By the end of the year, if the rumors pan out we'll be able to get superior (hopefully) 2nd gen DX10 cards (or if they're too expensive, at least the 8800's will be getting some pricedrops). It's win-win to wait.

For all the framerate whores out there, there's an option to unlock the framerate at the expensive of visual fidelity. Pretty cool feature for a console game.

...say wah? ()

 

[Wollan]

That's a cool option and I welcome it for experimental reasons.

With that said, this is the best running fps-rpg (what's the latest term?) I've ever seen. There's never ever a hitch in the framerate pulling up menus, messing with items and generally interact. That combined with the excellent interface (in every aspect) makes it a total joy.

Does the game chug? That would make me sad.

360 version runs perfectly. Not one drop in framerate, even with its amazing visuals.

...usually refer to the genre as a Hybrid FPS/RPG....like with Deus Ex, Vampire, etc.

...and yeah, really is awesome how much the polished this gem up!

 

[MaizeRage25]

I'm pretty sure I'll stick to 30FPS and beautiful graphics.

Beautiful your avatar is not.

 

[TemplaerDude]

there aren't enough fps / rpgs out there.

definitely my favourite hybrid genre.

the few there are though are incredible.

Right now, I love you. It may be fleeting but for now, it's fantastic.

How is the performance in that mode?

Yea, I saw that posted by Whiteman last night, pretty cool feature.

[LJ11]

Available in the options menu?

How is the performance in that mode?

Yes, it's in the options menu. Runs at a much higher fps at the cost of vsync, tearing out the ass. It actually got me dizzy so I went mack to a locked frame rate

The framerate is good normally?

Did you play the demo? It's fine.

 

[ALeperMessiah]

sitting here at work while Bioshock is sitting in my car, unplayed is killing me. Three more hours! I'm not taking it for granted though, I'm glad I was able to pick one up before the crackdown. To pass the time I'll keep singing beyond the sea in my head, while staring at the clock.

By the way Birdie, love the avatar.

 

[raYne]

:lol The ammo vending machines in the Medical Wing are hilarious.

Muchas gracias señor!

Oh GAWD. Add Joates to the damn list.

Do I want to? No. Do I have to? Probably.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

so how's the difficulty for this game? Are there options?

I'm not that great with first-person games, although recently I have beaten The Darkness and Resistance.

Basically, for those that are already playing this, does this game keep itself open (challenge-wise) for your average gamer?

There's a setting specifically for people who have never played FPSes. They love you.

 

[Y2Kev]

I'm on vacation. I set up a video conference with my friend back home so I could watch him play it and give him directives.

Close enough.

for the 360 version?

niiiiice!


My 360 broke down a few days ago, so I am feverishly awaiting my replacement. GAAAH!!!

 

[TemplaerDude]

first thing i'm doing when i get my pc version installed: turning the difficulty all the way up, turning off the object sheen and turning off the objective compass.

pc unique features for the win!
