Bioshock is art

I picked up Bioshock yesterday at Best Buy for $24.99 (you can still get it at that price today too) having never played the demo.... and I must say that it was money WELL spent. The graphics are stunning and the soundtrack is absolutely perfect. I believe that this is the "scariest" game i've ever played too. The detail with directional sound freakin creeps you out thinking something is running up on you only to frantically turn around and see nothing.

Bioshock and Half Life prove games (and FPS's more specifically) can be art.

 

I'm surprised you got a copy, at my location, people have been camping out at the nearest targets,bestbuy,circuit city,frys,etc...for 37 hours just for black friday, there's literally no room to move once the store opens.

 

Buy it online from Best Buy... Free shipping too (only thru today).

 

There were still 10+ copies of PC bioshock at the best buy near here at 9pm.

Apparently my area has a lack of PC enthusiasts...

 

Best game I ever played!

 

Most 'Art' doesn't install rootkits on my computer. Most 'Art' lets more than 5 people look at it at the same time.....lets not even get into the 'each account on the computer counting as 1 install thing'

But it shore is purdy...>>!

 

Completely agreed. This is the greatest game ever made. Everything about it is so damn beautiful *sniffle*

 

It was a well designed game. I was disappointed with the quick ending though; was looking forward to a sequel.

 

I just got it too, I'm late to the game =p I was actually just talking to my friend about that I think the game play is solid but not exceptional, I preffered cyrsis the whole sand box thing makes it feel really openeded although when it comes to overall feel and design is think its outstanding! It really is like a living piece of art so far I've really enjoyed it. Best off all I dont have to run it at 1024X640 haha its sooo pretty so is crysis but it just has a better feel its very immersive.

 

Bio-Shock is an amazing game, but the control of vision is just too not my style. See, I like Halflife aiming, in which, if you move the mouse and stop it, the crosshair stops. It doesn't have any drift. In BioShock, when you turn, the crosshair will push out a bit extra and come back to where it should be. At least, it gives that illusion. It's just that control, but yeah, Bioshock is amazing.

 

I am extremely impressed by this game.

I can run it at native res with a lot of the options enabled and on high and what not.

With decent frame rates.

It's amazing.

Crysis I had to run at low res' and medium or custom settings.

And so far the story is just... Awesome.

edit: In DX 9 of course.

 

Can a Geforce 7200 GPU handle this game? At what settings and fps?

 

I just watched a 360 HD vs a DX10 Bioshock gameplay.

There really isn't much of a difference.. Kind of depressing.

 

I didn't like it one bit. The idea of an underwater city was nice, but the way the game looks and feels just didn't cut it for me.

 

I've played the game on both console and PC and if you can max it out at 1680x1050 or higher (my desktop 8800GTS handles this game very well) you should opt for the PC version. I think it looks sharper with much better controls.

But graphics aside, it is an awesome game that you shouldn't miss!

 

the 1950s feel and sound was amazing played it on the 360. this is the game i will tell my grandchildren about rofl

 

It's good, but feels like a console port at times I find this game a bit easer with hardware than Crysis.

Got mine from BB at $24 as well.
