BioShock

[Harbringer]

But ot take my word for it if a games not at least fifty hours long I wont bother paying fifty dollars for it. I think of it this way, If I pay a dollar for something I should at least get an hour of at least low quality entertainment for it. For example, It takes me about an hours to drink a 16oz bottle of Doctor Pepper, So therefor the cost of a 16 oz doctor peper where I live works out for me because I pay a dollar for an hour. Of course, there are exceptions....such as condoms....which BTW are freeking extortion.

Thus far I've paid 20$ for Dwarf Fortress and I've gotten way more that 100 hours of quality entertainment.

The condoms are worth it. Ofcourse the quality of "entertainment" may vary.

Yes, donated.

I'll probably buy it when stores drop it into the bargain bin. It wouldn't even work on my current outdated computer.

I used to buy software that way too. Oddly, some software doesn't drop it price like it used to.

I tried the demo and it sure looks impressive. Even on my flupump computer.

I think I might just buy it today to give me a quick shooter to play. Haven't played a new game since, well, two weeks ago.

I wouldnt buy it....just borrow it or something is not even five hours of game and it has no replay value...but it is great.

BioShock sales have benefited greatly from all the hype but it does have an interesting storyline too. Some aspects of the game play can be frustrating at first until you better understand how the AI works.

PC games still seem to.
Preys already down to £5 here.

I have played Bioshock round my mates house, I really loved it.
I would buy it but a) when it came out it was broke b) I am hooked on Gears/Rainbow Six and c) HALO 3 .

 

[Maniacal]

Yeah, Prey is only $10 here, but the "bargain bin" (which rarely have PC games >.>) are like $18.95, not much of a bargain. Jewel cases are cheap though, $8.97, or close to 10.

I got Defcon instead. But I shall own Bioshock one day

 

[Izipo]

Same here.
Defcon rocks.
For those who have spare time (and love RTS) you should try the demo.

 

[Luckymoose]

Bioshock is amazing. I am surprised it wasn't hyped up more. It really was not hyped compared to Gears or Halo 3.

 

[steviejay]

Probably because it was the first. Just wait, the next one will be pumped up like mad.

bioshock is practically the sequal to system shock 2...

Just finished it today for 360. Man, this is one of the BEST games for 360 i've played. It rocks. Atmosphere is great, innovations are not too complex, and the game is driven by the great plot.

 

[steviejay]

Waffles, didn't you think it a bit...... short though? I mean it seems tyhey spent so much time making it look sexy as hell and the like and as a result the length took a beating. I mean I completed it within a few days...

 

[Kozmos]

Uninstalled it, didnt even bother with the second playthrough. Just watch the other ending on youtube. Good game no doubt, but once you finish it it's done.
