Just thought I'd give Wynney a place to rant about it.

Anyway, I've played the demo, pretty sweet, but the demo was too short really. I want to get the full game but don't want to spend £30 on it, lol.

Something that may make you laugh. Clicky

I didnt get any of that part from, the picture of Bush was it?? lol Too fast but very funnym Tbh ive never seen Bioshock before

He does talk fast, but it's the clearest fast talk I've ever heard.

Anyway, you've never heard of Bioshock? It was just released (a week ago?) and is based on the Unreal engine 3. It has a deep storyline (<-pun) and some interesting gameplay features. Check out some reviews or the demo.

wtf is bioshock?

I just said...

u know i dont read the threads lol.,

You really should, that's the whole point. It also stops you looking like a wally.

bioshock is the best game ever, easilly

I better get it some time, Is a good Online FPS though? better than Css?? <question just for the obsessive expert> lol *cough*Mark*cough*

It doesn't have multiplayer.

And I'm not the obsessive, Wynney is. I posted this cos Wynney spammed it everywhere else.

bioshock is a 1 player game tht is the best game released. b4 i wld say it was hl, bt seeing this game, truly, it is the best ive ever played...

Personally I would say each game has it's own points, and they are pretty much leaders anyway. I don't like comparing two great but different games.

As for Bioshock... I'm considering buying it off Steam, but I'm tight fisted.

gd point, both absolutely pawn!!!!!!

btw, jst get it and i swear u wnt regret it

But I LIKE being tight fisted.... LOL

well stop it, cos ur only damaging urself by missing out!

Damaging myself?

Bioshock is alright. It doesn't support widescreen properly though. Not good when you spend a lot of money to achieve 2560x1600.

Yeah, that's one flaw. Personally I don't have widescreen. Don' think the current state of widescreen gaming is worth it yet.

Another bloody flaw is that it doesn't bloody well support Shader 2.0 cards. Only Shader 3.0. It's insane! Even Crysis supports Shader 2.0 cards, and it looks better.

GAHHH!!!!

I've tried some fixes on the below site, which partially work for those without the money to upgrade, yet desperate to try Bioshock. Or if they just want to try it out to see if it's worth upgrading.

This is really gay, and I certainly wont be buying Bioshock for the foreseeable future.

Interesting, I take it you've tried to play the demo or something?

Every card in the last 3 generations by nVidia and 2 by ATi (so roughly 3 years) do support SM3, but it would still make a lot more sense to make it work on SM2 cards.

Sounds about as dumb as making halo 2 only for vista...

No, nothing can compare to that dumbness. Not that it matters that much anyway, you can get it to run in XP anyway, though I don't see the point, it's overpriced and rubbish, lol.

MAking it only SM3 probably was a big mistake, though, according to the latest Steam hardware survey (which is pretty accurate and only 5 months old), only 50% of people with Steam have SM3 cards, and another 25% have SM2, that's a lot of people they have alienated, basically another 50% possible audience...

At the end of the day this is going to slowly happen anyway... Some games will eventually not be able to run without it in general.. So forcing people who want the game to upgrade is a bit lame but eventually they would have too..

Yes, it will have to happen eventually, but it should be slower than this. Having to update with only 2 new generations of cards available is silly, 4 or 5 is more reasonable.

Exactly. That is why it is as dumb as making games vista only. Hardly anyone uses or even wants to use it... So I can't imagine they have sold too many..
