Bio Shock the first few hours.
Well seeing all the good reviews on gameing sites and people here a TG, I thought I would pick this up. At first was worried about some problem with the game due to a number of horror stories. Downloaded through steam, installed no problems. Cool good so far. Lets start up the game on hard mode(hey if it isn't hard it isn't fun right?) Neat looking setting kinda wacky 50ish style. Its a break from your standard fps which 9 times out of 10 are some military or futurist sci fi theme. The little radio diaries, the televisions and espically the monologs by the characters befor you kill them goes a long way towards emersion and story telling. That little girl is the best. Gameplay so far has been a mixed bag. Look momma I've got a lighting hand, ok been done befor some what intresing but I don't know. Weapons are same old same old you get to upgrade them. Actuall fights are kinda lame. Not to intense and repetative. No great AI like you would find in FEAR just run at you and smash, but they don't have the good jump and get ya feeling like you would have in something like doom, just seems to easy.
If I had to give it a rating it would have to be 7/10. This might seem low to some but let me explain. So far the only reason I find to play the game is the story, not a bad thing but in my book gameplay comes first and BioShock is rather lacking. Anyways take it as you will.18th SFOD Executive OfficerTG Arma Spartan No. 11

Re: Bio Shock the first few hours.
Not to take away from how well implemented the AI in FEAR is, but I always get a chuckle when it's used as an example of "Great AI" when you consider how stupid the AI really is. In fact, it's probably the farthest from "Smart" AI we've seen out of any game that care to actually attempt to code it.
Is BioShock worth the cost? That's what I want to know. I had considered the 360 version, but I'd much rather have access to my mouse and keyboard.

Re: Bio Shock the first few hours.
I give it a 9.5/10. I'm not on the hype train, I really do think its that innovative.

I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10.. Its a great game overall, but having played the previous Shock games, it just doesnt deliver quite the same feeling or depth.

Re: Bio Shock the first few hours.
Same here. The last game I bought was Stalker and even I didn't finish that. That just seemed boring in the middle parts. So for me I'm pretty much BF2 only. Except when I started playing this. The past 2 nights I've probably played it around 3 hours each night. I know it's good, at least to me, because I'm anxious to start playing it again. The graphics, story, and atmosphere is second to none. Originally Posted by UnDeaD77

Re: Bio Shock the first few hours.
Hopefully it'll go on sale for $40.00 in the not too distant future on steam. I don't sense a lot of re playability once you know how the story ends.

I thought the AI was supposed to be the next big thing. Since it isn't scripted.
