Bioshock 1 was a damn good game, and Bioshock 2 looks to be pretty good as well. I'm not gonna say its gonna be amazing or anything but I think it will be quite a bit of fun.

Don't bother arguing with the pirates. Some of them can't afford it, some will buy it when it is cheaper, some will buy it when they remove the drm, and arguing isn't going to change anyone elses mind.

They'll be releasing a patch later on to remove it. That's not a valid excuse anymore, especially when it's become common for most developers/publishers to use it.

Also the game's lead developer was the man behind Bioshock's best level, Fort Frolic and as someone mentioned a lot of the original development team worked on 2 as well.

I disagree. While it is relatively common, I think inclusion of DRM is a perfectly valid excuse. I understand why companies use it, but I still don't think it is an excuse. The DRM is almost always a hassle for legitimate customers and rarely actually prevents piracy.

it is a valid excuse. I bought a fuckton of games over steam, and I've bought lots at retail. I've yet to buy a game with securom, and I never will.

If the game gets rated 100% by every reviewer out there, I'm still not buying it unless securom is gone. If the only way to play without securom is pirating, then so be it.

Enjoy justifying your piracy.

what? Who said anything about pirating. I buy 95% of the games I have. But if its a choice between paying money + fucking up my system w/securom or no money + no securom, its not really a hard choice.

Companies that use securom deserve to be punished. Yet another company didnt learn from spore.

Except you aren't exactly punishing them. If you were really punishing them then you wouldn't play it. In the end, you are still their bitch for playing it.

Okay guys. I just downloaded and beat this game in record time (about 10 hours... it is really short actually, kind of dissapointing)
PLOT SPOILERS AHEAD!
+ Show Spoiler +
So i guess i got the "good" ending. I saved all the little sisters, didn't kill anyone except that guy from the train station (forget his name) and put the doctor out of his misery. However the ending was still extremely dissapointing. Eleanor saves her mother, and you fly up to the surface. Eleanor sucks the adam out of you, implying that you've become an angel or something (even though you're still alive) and then stares at the water with the little girls you saved. I'm pretty dissapointed. The game was fun though, even if the drill is overpowered.

I only buy games that have good multiplayer. Other wise, it better be somethign worth collecting or I'm downloading.

Game is exactly like Bioshock 1. If you liked the original, ull like this.

Poll: Bioshock 1 most overrated game ever ?
(Vote): Yes
(Vote): No


Give it up, Boblion. The only definitive way to prove Bioshock 1's overrated-ness is to either enter into a lengthy discussion (which we've been through a couple times in other threads, lol), or to wait for people to play System Shock 2 (from which Bioshock derives 90% of the good ideas in it).

First game was good if you didn't already own System Shock 2, and cared enough about graphics for it to be worth the difference between a $5 bargain bin game and a $50 new release (or if space zombies scare you). Personally, even if I cared about graphics, I doubt it would be enough to justify a tenfold higher cost--and I consider space zombies a plus.

I literally can't play it. I was able to play Bioshock 1 on MAX setting and get a decent frame rate. However, Bioshock 2 looks like a PS2 game on my computer. Textures are all messed up.

It also looks like a lot of people are having problems. Anyone else having any technical issues?
