Well it definately looks that way but I can only go off the demo. The game is well rounded, and has some of the best atmosphere I've seen in a game this year. It is kind of funny, I was blown away when I seen the visuals but when I went to Gamefaqs people were complaining about how the visuals suck.

The graphics and art are amazing, but it's really just another boo! monster-in-the-closet game

Everything from what I've read this game is far from another boo! game, it appears to be more psychological then boo scary anyway. It requires you later on to make some very disturbing and quite unique choices. which I will cover up in spoilers.

There are various parts of the game where if you are low in energy you have to make the choice on whether or not to harm a child in order to get your energy. This brings you to the Big Daddy who is a virtually harmless character, and you must choose whether to murder it and sap the energy from the child

In addition that the game is extremely atmospheric and the myriad of reviews out already show this game is more than your everyday shooter, it is a unique experience.

I've played the demo. As I state I've also read the review that explain the mechanics of the game as well (not to mention the fact I've been following it pretty closely since the first gameplay footage was revealed). Not only that but the companies previous series, System Shock, is a highly regarded series that I NEED to try.

With all that said I think Metroid Prime 3 is going to be far better

So, as I was saying, it's a lot like Doom 3. No flashlight though, lol.

Yes, and the comparison to Doom 3 is totally broken.

Doom 3's scares were monster-in-the-closet style. Bioshock's scare isn't that, but the fact that the enemies you face are the ruined leftovers of something that was once human. It's not having a zombie pop up behind you, it's having a horribly mutated man swinging a wrench wildly at you while screaming that he's not a bad person.

And the gameplay comparison is wrong, also. It's a spiritual successor to System Shock, so if that' any indication, you'll often have to conserve ammo and choose whether to fight or flee.

Doom 3 has nothing on Bioshock, the game is 50xs more engrossing (if the demo is any indication) and has a diverse environment to explore. Doom 3 was a cooridor shooter with no story, and was all about running around in repetitive cooridors. It had nothing like the plasmatic offensive weapon combined with normal arsenal, which can be used to develop different strategies. Not only that but the game supposedly keeps you involved throughout with consistent dialogue, making the world come alive.

I'm more than familiar with the content of Doom 3 and System Shock and pretty much every first person shooter ever, so I don't really need to be told about it, lol

- and I take issue with your statements! Please don't pee on my leg and and tell me it's raining, and don't tell me that these edgy, arty, story-driven ruined monster people don't come out of closets and say boo, because they do. But mostly don't pee on me :[

I'm sorry but only the boogeyman comes out of the closet, so you are WRONG.

I'm pretty sure the scene where the alarm goes off, the doors lock, and the goons start pouring in qualifies as a monster in the closet scene. And maybe also the part where the demo ended with the dudes banging on the glass. I remember that same scene from Doom 3 where you encounter the first big bull demon, and that was a lot cooler then.

All I remember from Doom 3 was a cool final boss, and lots of running through metal cooridors shooting enemies.

Bioshock's available for preloading on Steam in case anyone's too lazy to go to the store on the 21st.

Supposedly the street date has been broken, I bet 2K is ticked off!

Naughty Toys R Us

I like the part where early copies are going for over $150 on ebay!

Sweet. Let me know what the multiplayer is like.

Well they will make some money out of it at least.

(Right? Breaking the street date = fine to the dealers?)

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #72 on:** August 16, 2007, 03:45:07 PM »

I swear though people are insane to pay $150 for any game to get it a week early! I remember back when Diablo 2 came out with the super special edition and I sold mine for $100. Also I was looking for SYstem Shock 2 and it is going for $35-$50 on ebay!

I don't think so. Basically, the publishers try to make the retailers think that if they break the date, they won't let them sell the next blockbuster game. But it doesn't work, because the retailers know that the publishers need them to put out their merchandise

. There's always legal action, but it's usually not worth it in a minor case like this.

Someone sold one of those leaked copies of Harry Potter on eBay for like $250, and that's for a book that you'll finish in a couple of hours (as opposed to a game, which can take a time commitment of days to weeks). But if Starcraft 2 has a special edition that costs lots of money, it will be the first and last time I ever pay $100+ for a game (at least until next next generation, where all new console games will come on holographic chips that cost $500 to manufacture).
