I don't even understand how this is bullshit.. can you at least explain a little more? It makes perfect sense to me. Game developers make the games for the money. If nobody pays, they will not make the games. It's THAT simple. And yes, people who actually care about the games understand this and buy them to further the game developer's efforts.

It is not a coincidence that only the popular titles have sequels.

Wasn't Impressed by the first one at all. I know I can't go by reviews too because EVERYONE rated Bioshock so highly.

90% chance I will not buy.

lol would people stop replying to that idiot Breeze?

I would put BioShock 1 somewhere in my top 10 game list of all time, so I'm definitely getting BS2 when it comes out (already preordered for the ps3 ). Is it true that the sequel isn't being made by the original developers though?

I bought the first one within about a week of release. I probably would have been okay with it if I had spent 20-30 bucks on it instead of 50.

I don't think 50 reviews that give it 100% would get me to buy it.

"Enjoy your mummy's money."

Anyway, I support gamedevs and pirate if I don't but lately there's nothing really to pirate because of Steam (both the sale and convenience). However, I'm not buying Bioshock 2 right now. It's a good preorder deal actually but the triple hit combo DRM is a big cockblock.

Is it just me, or do most videos with narrators like this make the game seem stupider than it probably actually is. As for the question, still no.

I was pretty excited to see the first Bioshock, but one thing turned me off of the game entirely: it has the worst mouse control scheme of any PC game ever made.

The mouse only moves in the presence of acceleration. Now this is fine if you have the software acceleration turned on in your operating system, but for those of us who enjoy competitive FPS this is a nightmare. If you have acceleration disabled on your operating system, you literally cannot move the cursor in the game (especially on the menu) without physically accelerating the mouse. I can move my mouse all the way across the entire mouse pad without the cursor moving at all (except at the very beginning, of course).

Ok ok, you say, just enable the OS acceleration and play the game. It's not a competitive FPS after all, so having pinpoint precision and solid feel is not really that necessary. Ok, I can see that point of view. HOWEVER, there is a mysterious second tier acceleration present in the game. Allow me to explain:

If you have a linear acceleration in the game, the cursor (i.e. the camera) moves at a linear radial velocity. That is, it turns around in a circle at a constant rate. This is what you would normally expect in an FPS. You want some kind of linear motion that is easily readable by the human brain. However, if you have a highly nonlinear motion with your mouse (e.g. fast corrections, turning swipes etc.), there exists a second tier of motion behavior in the game. If the acceleration is at any time above some certain amount, then the game switches gear and the cursor suddenly moves super-fast.

The effect is this - if you make rapid motions in the game (which are not uncommon in any FPS), it is as if the game is tampering with your mouse CPI so that your mouse moves at unpredictable speeds. I stopped playing this game after literally 20-25 minutes, and never picked it up again. I dunno where they got this control scheme, but it seems to me like the game is designed to be played with an Xbox controller or something (where there exists two tiers of acceleration - pulling the joystick partway, and pulling it all the way).

So my interest in Bioshock 2 is minimal to say the least. Not to mention that the game has Securom AND limited activation stuff AND you need Games for Windows Live to be logged in to SAVE THE GAME (edit Sorry this is only for achievements, I misunderstood). So if you, for example, buy the Steam version of the game, you are gonna need Steam + GFWL Logged on + Securom running. Between Steam, Microsoft, and Securom, that setup is begging to fail.
