So I tried the "Can You Run It" on my computer, and it says I can run minimum, but for the reccomended, I have a GTX 550 and it requires a 560. LOL.
Funny thing is, it says it requires Pixel Shader 5.0 (Which I have,) Vertex Shader 5.0 (Which I have,) and 1024 mb Dedicated video RAM (I have 2.1 GB)
So I assume I'm fine.

Some of you have such a hard-on for Ken Levine, it's creepy. You're all fawning and cooing over him like he's your baby.
Anyway, is anyone besides me not going to just binge through the game? Seems like I'm far in the minority, but I don't enjoy games for hours on end. Usually don't play for more than an hour a day. Feels like I'm going to be left in the dust by the time I finish the game, but at the same time I don't want to rush through just to partake in the post-game discussion.

Do you really want to VPN and then downoload 15 more Gbs. of data? That'd probably be slower than just waiting for the unlock and downloading on official Steam servers.

I wish I had more time to enjoy it, only arrived on Saturday but really needed to finish it so I can review it. I would definitely recommend taking your time with it - the game's quite long and its a lot to take in in two days!

Is the game still 24 pounds on UK GMG? If so I'll probably buy it that way, otherwise it'll have to wait a little while.

The game decides for you when you can take a break, so I think that may be a negative for you.
As people have said in this thread, no manual save as far as I can tell.
What's the 15 additional gb's? I haven't heard about this.
Aren't there several parts of the game where you have a choice of actions in the game? Like, for example, in one of the trailers, you could let a guy get killed, or you could intervene. My guess is that the devs didn't want people saving right before each decision and then seeing how each one plays out. Rather they want you to have one narrative per playthrough, so you can potentially have a different narrative each time.
By the way, the people who've already finished the game are getting pretty loose about spoilers. It's kinda annoying, especially since the game technically hasn't even been released. Keep in mind guys: some of us haven't even played 30 mins. of the game.
Disgusting. This feature has been standard for years.
Yes it is.

When they were talking about all those PC features, I didn't see quick saves. I mean, it's only been a standard feature since Doom 1, I imagined it was gonna be there.

Cool, now I have a friend over in the UK I could ask to get it for me but I'd have to pay the 2% Paypal surcharge. What's the recommended VPN for accessing the UK site? Preferably free.

it'll be modded in like 24 hours after release.

Not just you man, I think it was a reasonable assumption considering the original Bioshock had manual saves even on consoles! I'm not too bothered, provided the saves are properly spaced. It mostly works well in a game like Halo for example where it saves before/after a major battle. It sort of forces you to think about how you're going to approach a battle, as opposed to quick saving your way through whatever it throws at you.
One things for sure, if there is no quick save then 1999 mode just got a whole lot harder!

Oh, Kenny! Marry me!
No it won't. It's not easy to mod in something like that unless the engine already supports it.

You should read up on some of the games he's created over the years. Maybe you'd understand then.
It's the rest of the games HD textures. So even with my pre-load there is still additional shit to download rather than just an unlock portion which is typical of most pre-loads.

I really hope that this little snow/rain thing tomorrow doesn't stop amazon from sending my game on Tuesday which is suppose to be nice here cause I will rage like no tomorrow.
The fuck is this?????
That was me and I stand by the comment. 360, analog out, stereo. Characters are inaudible when you're not facing them. I see the subtitle and then turn around to hear Elizabeth finish the end of whatever she was saying. Maybe something is wrong with my setup, but I was responding to another poster that said the same thing.

HD texture pack. I don't know why it wasn't included in the pre-load, but I'm damn thankful we are getting it in the first place!

Game doesn't come out until Tuesday.
I look at the thread and it's over 6,000 posts long already....
Can someone tell me why?
I don't want to read the thread for fear of spoilers.

This is getting weirder all the time
Right, I can't hear what Elizabeth is saying on rare occasions when I'm not facing her, and a lot of audio diaries are being drowned out by other sounds. I'm talking about the overall soundscape created by the game if that makes sense - the effects, soundtrack and how they work together etc.

Seems like a huge number of people have been able to get this game early. I got it on Friday in the UK. I had to call around a bit but it wasn't a problem to get it.
Is it really another 15 GIG??
It's gonna take fucking days to download that on my shit Australian internet
... Thanks Obama.
Half of them are not even about Bioshock. We tend to go off topic quite a lot.
Don't worry, all spoilers are either tagged or those who didn't tag them have been banned.

Because we are crazy lol.
Many mini discussions about topics that have nothing to do with the game, pretty much.

Yup. He knew that an American Company was releasing a game that takes place in an alternative American History. It's a conspiracy.

Proper mouse support and 75 hz support were also standard for years and 2k was too cool to provide either in bioshock 1....
To this day I believe the game still basically emulates an analog stick,it has some horrible aim acceleration and the aiming is in steps not on a smooth curve.
Bioshock 1 was one of the most throwaway garbage ports I've had the displeasure of playing, I mean ubisoft levels of shittyness.
I remember one of their moderators suggesting people plug in their xbox controller when they asked if there was a fix for the controls in the making...
You didn't even mention the DRM scandal or the fucked FOV in 16:9.

The only question is... how many words does the average novel even have?
It took more than 5 minutes for somebody to PM me for my code of Xcom completely free of charge and with nothing in return.
Some people just don't like free shiteeeee.

He's not been in the thread much this weekend.

They probably thought you were actually going to give them a key to Spec Ops the Line.
Yeah this kind of defeats the the purpose of pre loading. I'd rather have have than none, but why can't they just put it all in one.Is it really another 15 GIG??
