Bioshock Scoring Well

Bioshock looks to be living up to everyones expectations, OXM as give it 10/10, PC Gamer UK 95%, which in its lifetime has never gave a game over 96% (Half Life). I also heard it got a 5/5 some where but I hate the reviews that use 5 as the top mark so I didn't bother making a mental note of the reviewer.

Looks like this is going to be money well spent. Can't wait.

Very nice to hear. I preordered it a couple weeks ago and can't wait!

Yep looking forward to this one too. I think it will be one of the best games released this summer.

I'm waiting for demo despite awesome reviews. I didn't particularly like The Darkness despite awesome reviews.

May I ask what you didn't like about the Darkness? Admittedly I'm not very far in, but I like it so far.

I need to play a demo aswell. But so far by the trailers it looks amazing.

I'm not a big fan of the shooting within the game and before I get "But you could always just use the creatures", I have tried to like it but I can't

Bioshock- very good game by the sounds of it. 95% ha those pc gamer lads would never want to topple half life off the top, even though theres been alot better games since then. LMAO

if this game is as good as the reviews it's getting. i can not wait to get my hands on this one.

If it's being reviewed, does that mean its out soon?

As far as I know it's coming out on the 24th of August, so less than a month to go.

It comes out on the 24th of August for us UK and i think the 21st for people in the US.

This game does look very good and from the in game videos i have seen plays very good just hope it is not short like The Darkness

Thanks.

Which version to get? Is it coming out on both 360 and PS3?

It is only on the 360 and the PC

PC/360. Single player only.

Watch the videos: http://www.gametrailers.com/game/2610.html

I'll get the 360 version then, my PC is starting to look a bit long in the tooth these days and I can't be bothered to upgrade it.

Anyway I prefer to game from my couch these days

I'm playing System Shock 2 in anticipation, my god Bioshock must be amazing!

Anyone else getting the Special Edition?

The only reviews I trust are my own.

Why anyone trusts someone elses opinions on a game, using that basis to spend £50 on it, is absolutely beyond me.

Just watched a couple of videos and looks like a good purchase, although no multiplayer

Yeah, I was initially gutted that it doesn't do multiplayer, but then I've remembered that some of the better games [IMO] I've played lately I've not bothered to play the multiplayer. Like the Darkness, Prey, etc.

For me multiplayer is all about the big games, like R6.

PLus no multiplayer means that they'll concentrate more on the single player and some stuff I've seen so far has been amazing, like the Bioshock ingame advertisement, etc.

Yeah, I'm not bothered about the lack of multiplayer either. Some games are just designed from top to bottom for single play, shoe horning in some multiplay just for the sake of it usually doesn't work out.

If you're getting it on 360, I suggest you get it from Play.com for the most awesomeness faceplate EVAR!!!1

Thing is, it's 'while stocks last' which makes me suspect it's already over subscribed so I'm not taking a chance on pre-ordering from play.

I'll get it cheaper from shopto.

Ooooh that's a nice faceplate..

I might preorder it just for that if a US retailer is doing that

And it sounds very good, I've heard the game lasts a veeerry long time, so the lack of MP shouldn't even be noticable.

I didnt know it had no multiplayer,well that sucks.
I dont think ill bother with it now.
