BioShock Discussion - (No Spoilers Allowed)

I rented it two days ago and beat it today. The story line was pretty good, but to short...

From what I am hearing the story is short. Maybe play though it twice then it loses major replay value. Any word on downloadable content in the future?

---

I heard that the Downloaded content is already on the disc (don't ask me how that works, I'm as clueless as the next person)

So maybe a title update will "unlock" the content if its true?

Is this game really that good? I think I might rent it

Very good so far for me. Top five title for the 360 easily.

Play the demo. Its pretty freaking sweet. I just finished all the achievements in Open Season and gonna send it back and get bioshock. Hopefully with bioshock, blue dragon, two worlds and fuzion frenzy 2 I can finally past phil's gamerscore.

....open season? I assume you got that just for the GS, cuz if not... lol

Anyway, I have played the demo, I found it a bit creepy lol, but I might rent it next time I go to the store.

Also, Sinful, How is Ninety Nine Nights? I was gonna rent that awhile back but got lost planet instead, is it any good??

Ninety Nine Nights is pretty sweet if you like dynasty warrior like games. It doesn't get any better than watching 100s of enemies charging at you and getting 1000+ hit combos. It does however suffer from frame rate issues here and there tho. If you like dynasty warrior games and hack and slash games where you take on hundreds of enemies at once its worth a rent. Plus it has some easy achievements.

thanks

?

Yay I rented it :)
-= Double Post =-
wow, I jumped a couple of times when I was playing it, but it is a very fun game. I havent died yet (on easy) :)

Spoiler for Next time spoiler your questions that give specific plot details about the game einstein. - Abe:

has anyone experiened lag around the part where you deploy the lazarus vector? because I suddenly started experiencing alot of lag around that part. I know its not my disc, which is spottless. Its probably not my DVD drive either, since my 360 is only a few weeks old. Maybe its because of all the enemies at that part? Just wondering if anyone else had this problem.

I get lag when certain menus come up.

Once it froze completely.

Yeah, sometimes when missions pop up it lags for a second. The lagging got better since I beat the lazarus part. This is such a good game:)

I've noticed a few bugs, game is pretty fun so far.

Spoiler for spoiler:

Just got the swarm plasmid last night, I've only played about 6 hours worth, on medium. Surprised at how easy it is for medium though. Have a feeling I'm going to beat it tonight.

1st encounter with the Houdini splicer was so cool, freaked me right out, I was laughing my ass off.

Spoiler for wtf?.:

I cant find the 3rd Splicer to take a picture of. Also I killed 2 Big Daddies, but I cant find the Little Sisters, they like run away or something, and its pissing me off.

I don't consider this a spoiler but I'll put it in tags anyway.

Spoiler for Tits & Ass:

When you see a big daddy without a little sister you should follow him from a distance, he'll go to a hole in the wall and bang on it, then the skank will come out. Then you can murder her giant metal love slave and rescue or harvest her.

game looks awesome in 1080p ;)

lol, but the problem was that the big daddy was with a little sister, but she ran away after I killed it and I couldnt find her

Best game I have ever played tbh.

same thing happened to me. wasted all that ammo for nothing.

That I can't help with. I never had that happen.

Going through on hard now........*sigh*

Yeah I have played bioshock on sd and hd, and hd looks quality (1080i on a projector for me).

This game makes me jump so much :( Me and my friend were playing the other night and we shat our pants when a houdini popped up behind me.

I find it really fun hacking the security cameras and Big Daddys :)

you cant hack big daddies can you?:p

you can control them with the plasmid

LOL. Sometime this game being buggy is a good thing.
I ran into a big daddy and since it's on hard I'm expecting him to beat the crap out of me, but no he gets stuck in a wall, HAHAHA. and I proceed to wrench him to death.

I had a couple of little sisters bounce on me. Once it happened when Rosie and I killed each other at the exact same time.

game still lags:( Sometimes its when I'm just running. The game will stop for a second and then pick up where it left off. I didnt experience this at the beginning of the game, only later on. Anyone else getting this as well?

Spoiler for halfway offtopic:

After seeing Ken Levine in a picture it becomes obvious why they designed the FOV the way they did.

His eyes are so close together and he looks like Steve Carell in that last pic.

Don't hotlink.

About how far am I in the game? I just got to the first U-Invent machine.

The first time I have in a while and you nail me on it, do you look at the url for everybody's pics? Kotaku loves it anyways. (fixed for Abe and the internets:) )

Not far at all. I haven't beat the game yet but I think I'm almost there (as in beating it).

Spoiler for spolier:

Just beat the Cohen guy where I had to kill 4 different people and put the photographs in the frames.

UF - I usually check, yes.

Will there be a time when I can freely go back to past area of the game to explore some more? As it stands right now, I'm trying to cover every inch of every level.

Yes, I think you can. I have gone back a few times now.

Spoiler for lil spoiler:

It will even tell you if you didn't save/harvest the little girls, which is good.

Fairly decent write up on all of the Plasmids, plus a couple of vids. (Some work, other do not.)

Anyone know relativly how long this game is. I'm seriously considering getting the game because the demo was awesome and its scoring almost perfect reviews everywhere. But if its as short as crackdown.....screw that.

I havnt beat it yet, but ive been playing a good 10+ hours with no end in sight. But I also like to take my time and explore around. But I can safely say its atleast twice as long as Gears. A must buy imo:)

I've played the demo, and really want this too. I want to buy it, but I don't have enough money ATM, so I was thinking of renting it. Went out to look if the rental shop (Choices Video UK) had it today, and saw they only had 4 xbox 360 games.
F-o-u-r.

I was disappointed, to say the least. Looks like I'm just gonna have to save up some, but as asked above, how long is it?

They say its a 20+ hour game if you dont rush through it.

I'm guessing bioshock will only last me a few days, then. I tend to spend way to long on my xbox, around 10 hours a day most of the time. I'm gonna look up the acheivements now, if they're all in the main storyline I might just rent it.

EDIT: Ummm, looking at the acheivements, it seems quite long. I suppose I'll just have to buy it some time.
