Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I've played through Bioshock again (on PC).
This is one of those times where I can't tell if they have actually done anything to the game cause it looks exactly how I remember it looking.
Also holy shit, the shooting feels so bad.
It's still a fine game though.

Bioshock 2 is better and you are all crazy for not seeing it!

I've always seen it. Even had to remind people a few times about how you had to switch between hands in the first one. Bioshock 2 is a solid improvement.
Ah, the The Division DLC coverage

I did the same thing. you can't tell the difference because it barely looks different.
and not only is 2 better, it's better by orders of magnitude. I honestly think people only remember the one story twist in 1 (which doesn't even really hold up, it's handled super clunky) and forget that the game sucks to play.
actually Bioshock 2 might be the only good Bioshock game.

more like bioshock too much shooting
And you can't go back to old levels, so you have to do like all the adam harvest in a row, which is even more shooting. What a tedious game.

Tied with Bioshock for me..atmosphere in both is brilliant.

Bioshock set the pace for a decade of audiologs, false player choice, weak combat, and bad endings.
Still my third favorite game of all time.

I think this is it but it's pretty unwatchable by 2016 standards
Nice, thanks a lot!
Though yeah, they've certainly come a long way since then when it comes to quality

The first Bioshock had a good twist and was really pretty. That's about all I can say for it. Honestly, it wasn't a great game then and it certainly isn't now.

This is pre-studio and pre-Vinny, but I remember almost all internet streaming video in 08 being bad anyway!

Really excited for the PSVR launch stream next month.
Ive had zero problems with the live stream player on chrome or firefox......so whats broken for you?
Yep, Bioshock 2 is better in almost every way. Despite being badly retconned into the lore Lamb is a better antagonist than Ryan or

yeah that was the most startling thing for me while replaying it. what a weird number of progress-slowing "collect 7 baubles" missions. it sucks.
I wouldn't say broken... but it is noticeable. here's a quick comparison of the quality through the webplayer and trough VLC:
I'll let you figure out which is which. it's almost like the webplayer enlarges every pixel from 1x1 to 4x4. It's minor, but I can not unsee it. fwiw happens in both Chrome and Edge.

It just looks like a smoothing filter or some kind of post-processing on the VLC version.
Watching now in Chrome. Right match SD, and left match HD.

You can grab Devil Daggers for a dollar:

Well, this helped me. The player definitely said I was on HD, but a toggle to SD than back to HD mitigated the issue. I suspect some weird cookie issue, because I have definitely tried swirching it before. I'll see if this keeps it this way.

I thought Dan was going to say that he got poked by a needle 💉 when he was talking about that.

i played it, level was neat!
the big mindfuck was watching the top replay and learning this game has the NSMB triple jump in it
They published a new video today, also about VR:

edit: It's actually the one in the middle, just had a different title. And I didn't really like it, tbh.
