C'mon, people, be sure to tell us about the texture pack.

OMG PREPARING TO LAUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's unpacking

 

[DICKS AHOY]

It's updated to show the achievements but it's still saying it's not officially released yet. :[

 

[Hindle]

I'll definetly pick this up at some point. Irrational must be relived the game is finally finished lol.

 

[Geoff9920]

Bioshock 1. Story, pretentious ramblings from several characters for most of the game (audio diaries didn't help there), spectacle of Rapture and sometimes of it collapsing, in game cutscenes etc. It certainly wasn't a gameplay oriented game coming from SS2.

Fair enough. If you're expecting System Shock 2 in the clouds I can see why this might not be for you.

 

[TheNamelessOne]

Preparing to launch!

 

[toastyToast]

Ready to launch in 18 minutes lol

 

[razgriz417]

[G_Berry]

Ready to launch in 18 minutes lol

Yeah the unpacking is taking FOREVER!!!!!!

 

[beastmode]

Can somebody explain what the religious discussion in the game is like, is it the anti-theist stuff that's popular these days?

It seems to imply that religion

Spoiler

is the cause of all evil in the entire BioShock universe.

Don't highlight that if you're insanely cautious about being spoiled.

 

[DukeBobby]

Yeah the unpacking is taking FOREVER!!!!!!

 

[Darklord]

How do I download the high res pack?! It's not on the DLC menu.

 

[remz]

All you VPN motherfuckers are lagging my shit out! I want to unlock this fucking game damn it

 

[seldead]

while its unpacking i noticed theres a lot of strange betas to join if someone else would care to give it a deeper look, im quite tired right now.

EDIT: 'pc review build, press tour, empty, feb2013' seems to have all of the more recent builds

 

[Phionoxx]

Huh, VPN seems to be working for me. I am in the US, steam let me launch it, has about a 10 min update first, doesn't show a file size for whatever it is downloading, but safe to say it's not a 10gb plus HD texture pack as my internet is nowhere near fast enough to reflect that.

 

[intheinbetween]

ready to launch in 2 minutes!!!

 

[Hindle]

Is the game deeper then Bioshock or is it more dumbed down?

 

[The Elite]

Is it unlocking for the VPN peeps as well?

 

[jacksepticeye]

VPN does work, files are unpacking now for me. I'm in Ireland BTW

 

[Burgess_101]

As if my brothers laptop works though...

 

[Zeliard]

What about a Korean VPN?

 

[SparkTR]

No HD texture pack yet. Not sure if I should wait or play.

 

[JaseC]

Guys just warning you Valve have updated the ToS to mention VPNs, No one has been banned so far but always best to be safe

That's been there since August 2012:

You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on game content, to purchase at pricing not applicable to your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, we may terminate your access to your Account.

 

[Yerolo]

Yeh, there is definately no 10Gb texture patch....but there is an update, appears to be maybe be a couple of hundred MB

Whether there is an optional one to be released is to be seen

 

[woober]

WILL ACHIEVMENTS WORK IF I PLAY OFFLINE?! Do they sync on steam once I go back on? I must know!

 

[darkjedi187]

Reviews look good. Trying to stay away from reading them. I'm surprised my NewEgg order hasn't been charged yet and ! am not sure I will be able to wait till Thursday to play it.

 

[G_Berry]

 

[Derrick01]

Is the game deeper then Bioshock or is it more dumbed down?

Looks to be about the same level of dumbed down as BS1. Better in some areas compared to it, worse in others.

 

[Andrew.]

Is the game deeper then Bioshock or is it more dumbed down?

Way dumbed down. Dont get it.

 

[Darklord]

No HD texture pack yet. Not sure if I should wait or play.

I'll wait...

Hard to put a good measure on it. It's not like there's a mission to stop a priest running around groping children. There are some historical moments where religion is exploited in order to gain power, which is accurate.

 

[Moff]

vpn works

 

[Phionoxx]

WILL ACHIEVMENTS WORK IF I PLAY OFFLINE?! Do they sync on steam once I go back on? I must know!

Depends on the game, but for the most part, yes. Achievements should sync up just fine once you go back online, although it may not record date and time when the achievement was earned.

 

[Ironchef3500]

Way dumbed down. Dont get it.

 

[G_Berry]

WTF this unpacking shit!!!!!

It's fucking 1AM you steam assholes!! Wasting valuable gaming time here!!!

 

[bedlamite]

Game's unlocked for me, I'm in Asia. I'm not seeing any option to download a HD texture pack?

Gonna go play for a bit first

 

[jacksepticeye]

What about a Korean VPN?

That's what I'm using and steam is checking the files now. Slowly, but it's working

 

[seldead]

Wow, in the betas it even has one called " Version RTMriginal version of the game" wonder what that means?

EDIT: I'll post again at the top of the page. It seems all the old builds are built into the beta client and are available to update to. this could turn out very interesting, definitely an accident on their part.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

vpn works

which one?

 

[AlimNassor]

The first BioShock was more about the world than the combat and you didn't like that, so I'm not sure why you're faulting Infinite for going in the opposite direction.

Ayn Randian philosophy is worse then getting a kick in the crotch. I still enjoyed it, but, I hate Ayn Rand.

 

[jacksepticeye]

which one?

Korean

 

[beastmode]

Ayn Randian philosophy is worse then getting a kick in the crotch. I still enjoyed it, but, I hate Ayn Rand.

Ayn Rand is probably the most evil philosopher ever.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Man how long does unpacking usually take on Steam? I had this game fully pre-loaded and the percentage bar has been sitting at 100% for ten minutes now.

 

[Hindle]

Way dumbed down. Dont get it.

Haha lol. Seriously how does it compare to the the original?

 

[RaGMasTeR90]

sry.

Just saw a Benchmark and i think ill stick with DX10. My GTX 560 ti runs at 64fps at 1080p in DX10 and only 30 FPS in DX11

 

[Moff]

which one?

I am with the VNPsecure.me 2$ trial
it has a special vpn server called AU-Bioshock, works like a charm

 

[G_Berry]

Man how long does unpacking usually take on Steam?

Mine has been going for 10 mins and still says 11 mins to go!!

Edit: FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[clutch.as.it.gets.]

Compared to the rest of the series, yeah.

What?

Uncharted 3 is the game in the series that takes away the control from the player the most, and you liked that the most?

 

[jacksepticeye]

Also 'm delighted this game released worldwide at the same time. No more of this staggered region launch bullshit please

 

[JaseC]

Was this posted yet?

You'll need to rehost those.
