There's no way they received an official review copy. The channel's barely six months old, has just 112,000 views and 1,300 subscribers, and BioInf seems to be the first pre-release review they've ever done.

What kind of accent is that? Sounds so damn weird ..
Also just happens to be the PS3 version.
.1 scale? :/
Precisely.
You weren't kidding when you said annoying.

No, they're explicitly pre-purchase bonuses.
Edit: It seems you've asked the same question twice. If your first question was intended to ask if those who pre-purchase later also receive the previous rewards that have already unlocked, the answer is yes.

As long as you preorder it on Steam, you will get all three rewards, plus the Industrial Revolution pack. If you buy the game after release, you won't get the preorder bonuses.

Holy screen tearing. vsync it is.
I hope you can stand 20fps.
Edit: Unless the game is triple-buffered, although having vsync be an option would make little sense in that case.
Don't judge such things from a youtube video, could be just the video compression.

You're totally right. Also, I expect this guy to be shut down within the next few hours haha. I'm sure there is no way that's anything close to a legitimate copy.
The point being that PC games should be (and mostly still are) $50 as they don't have a console manufacturer tithe.
-You almost can't exist in modern society without seeing commercials. This is probably the smallest concern of mine, though.
-Real life advertising is annoying. I think public spaces should be free from advertising.
-The box art is succoming to gamers' bullshit preferences. The horror of featuring a woman or a creature or something other than a white male with a weapon among sparks! BioShock 1 sold fine being new IP catering to a smaller install base without a shitty cover, but Levine insists it's needed in this case. Ok.
-The collector's edition sucks, I think anyone who's seen the press kits would prefer that over what's being offered. Game companies put these together with full knowledge that a good number of people will buy it because of their enthusiasm for the game, not for what it actually comes with.
Gee, it's almost like I said I was basically considering just that (by getting a used copy.)
Because the PC is not as locked down as consoles and refunds are usually not given if the game doesn't work. Fact of the matter is that PC games just often enough don't work properly (or sometimes at all) at launch

Yeah, and that's why I'm not sure what to do.
By $60 I meant MSRP. What % of goods and services are not sold at a lower price anywhere? Probably almost none, so I don't understand how you could think that that was what I was saying.
Sorry for the big post.

Rev3's review is supposed to go up on the 25th, and I have yet to see reviews from any of the other sources, so if he got a legit copy (and I don't believe he did either) he probably just broke the embargo if there is one on this game . I don't buy that he got a real review copy, just seems too new for that kind of connections.

I think the opposite.

I'm confused, are you talking about Adam Sessler?

I'm hoping it's Sessler, but they have other reviewers as well, but yeah, the people he works for now.

I don't see why they wouldn't have a review copy, Sessler is pulling in the hits. A lot of small sites can easily gain review copies from publishers these days.
He talks about the video above man...

I highly doubt the guy has even finished the game...
It's probably not even a real copy.

Ah, my apologizes, didn't catch that post
Konami code. Calling it now.
Konami Code with a controller; Deus Ex door code with kb&m.
Unlocked!!
You still have yet to get the XCOM though right?
I guess this tiers-unlock thing is legit? As in not rigged?
1. I'm referring to the tactic of witholding bonuses in an attempt to get people to market the game to their friends for them. Not in-game items or what have you.
2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_advertising#Public_space
Almost all of your other rebuttels seem to be "everyone is doing this." I'm always ticked off by these things, not just in this specific circumstance.
Should I not?

I'm saying that, based on your earlier statements, you'd probably enjoy the article.

Do you know when it'll be available to download for us guys who preordered?
Still just have Infinite and OG Bioshock in my games list and I'm really keen to play XCOM
Whenever Valve gets around to flicking the switch, which should be at some point between now and the general store update in ~9.5 hours.

I gotta say, I'm pretty looking forward to this game. I've never played either of the other two Bioshocks, which is a shame since they look good too. But this looks amazing. So colorful and full of personality

If Levine ends this game the way I think he's going to... I'll have to write him a letter.

Is it a good or bad letter
Also he said that " you can't expect the ending"

Is there a way to turn off hitmarkers? Nothing is more effective for breaking immersion for me than hitmarkers :/
I'll wait for some after release impressions for this one, the 2 weapon limit and the litteral handholding that's going in the videos on is really putting me down.
Plus i wanted to play the 1999 mode from the get go, and if you really have to unlock it by finishing the game, well there is no way im playing such a story driven game two times in a row to get some challenge.

Wrong. It has been said multiple times that you have to unlock the 1999 mode via a code.
