So you CAN play it with the Steam version? I've heard comments it only works with retail copies.
Completely false.

Take the people who told you that into an alley and beat them senseless.
Yup, it's weird that you have to buy it from xbox.com but it works.
Also, I had forgotten how much I liked Bioshock. I agree with everyone who says it's a dumbed down version of System Shock 2 but some of the streamlining just works great in the minute-to-minute action and it's just overall so enjoyable.
I'm glad to rediscover that, really.
edit: thanks again to Stallion and JaseC for the instructions. I had enough headaches getting xbox.com to accept my money already.
To be honest it feels like it was old even back in 2007 and I'm playing Bio2 which if I remember correctly did a lot of things to smooth out the shooting.
I still really like it, I must've beaten it like 3 or 4 times.
Also spear gun in Bio2 is sweet. All games should have spear guns.

Guys, I see while I was at work a bunch of people got added to the steam group. Any chance I can latch on?
My steam name is "Horseticuffs". I'd really appreciate it!

That would just make me feel fatigue when rolling into Infinite.
I was literally responding to your pm this instant, didnt catch it before, sorry!
I think it's different enough. Gonna be refreshing to be on an outside environment.
I remember very little about Bioshock and im sure there's gonna be some kind of connection

Thanks a ton, Salsa! Sorry to be a pain.
Can anyone give me any sort of help with this Max Payne 3 "failure to connect to key server" business? Googling it seems to suggest verifying the game cache, which didn't work, and installing Social Club manually which also didn't work. Do I just have to wait until Valve and/or Rockstar decide to give me a damn game key for the game I paid for?
This is infuriating.
This is infuriating.
Maybe. I'm thinking playing them back to back will help contrast the new stuff in Infinite even more.

So am I wrong in saying that only the GOTY version of batman is getting achievements? Because when I view the page, it says you do not own this game.

I haven't played since release but I need to go in to Infinite with a near clean slate of the franchise. Can't wait for it!
I think this is an instance of WB being stupid, and having a separate SKU for the GOTYe, instead of doing what everyone else does, which is to have a GOTYe just be the vanilla game bundled with the DLC packs.
Just finished Runner 2. One hell of a ride, and playing on Medium it felt rather easy, I must say. I haven't found all the retro carts yet, but I did get a Perfect+ on every level and all the costumes.
Wow, that's quick. I put like 18 hours on AA, and I still had like 7 Riddler trophies left. And I haven't touched the GOTY features yet, like the challenges and whatever extras it has.

I haven't even played a shooter this year in anticipation of Infinite. I want to roll in feeling fresh and not 'burned out' on shooters.
The flood gates are probably going to open up after that I want to play through Call of Pripyat, Bioshock 1, and System Shock 2.

Time to get the gamepad out Salsa. That's how I had to play Dead Space.
It's either GFWL chieves or saves. Your choice.I want GFWL achievos
I was just going to ask about how you go about buying this but I see I have been beaten. Would you mind re-linking the instructions about how to buy and use it?
I still haven't played it either, but judging from YouTube, the Singularity Cannon also looks enjoyable (if more traditional).
tried it, barely makes a difference
I changed the FOV and a bunch of stuff that work alright, now I cant seem to be able to force AA properly either
Then play on Xbox
Down with GFWL!!!!
But I want to play on PC and get X360 achievos. Best of both worlds
This is absurd. Apparently the wait is on Valve to get more keys from Rockstar. No one who bought it during the sale seems to be able to play, and now the Max Payne 3 store page says they're out of keys. It'll probably be monday before I can play the weekend deal. Ugh. Pardon my ignorance, but how hard is it to pay some mook to generate a few thousand game keys and upload them to a server? It's a fucking code of numbers and letters. I really don't like someone having my money while I don't have access to what I paid for.
Has this shit happened with anyone else for a game?

Ah. Well pardon my bitching. Never encountered this before and it's really bothering me.

Bioshock 1 had GFWL cheevos?
Uh, it's kinda buried in the thread but the jist of it was:
1) Buy Bio2 on Steam and install it
2) Buy Minerva's Den here: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Minervas-Den/00000000-0000-400e-80cf-00065454085c
3) Download GFWL marketplace app thingie, and download Minerva's Den with it.
4) Fire up Bio2 and go to extras, downloadable content and play it from there.
I think in step 3 or 4 they may ask you for a key, you should get that when you buy Minerva's Den from xbox.com.
It's pretty easy, really.
No problem with that in Bio2

So for someone whos never played the old republic star wars games, steam has part 2 on sale... should i go for it?
Wait for the sale. Its been 2.50 before.
Really?? I mean really?! Who knows when a sale will be, you will tell someone to wait months to save like 90 cents??
Yes, it's a very good game.
Really?? I mean really?! Who knows when a sale will be, you will tell someone to wait months to save like 90 cents??
It will be on sale for sure during the summer and winter sale. True steam vets will tell you to wait for the sale

90 cents goes a long way
Besides, if its just gonna go into the backlog, might as well wait.It's exactly what I'm doing, so I'd tell him the same. If he's not desperate to play it now, waiting will not do him any harm, and he can save some money, however little it is.Really?? I mean really?! Who knows when a sale will be, you will tell someone to wait months to save like 90 cents??

I don't know how you guys can trivialize 90 cents. It's like KOTOR2 or eating for a week for me.
Maybe one day I will have money

man Bioshock sure has aged
not only graphics-wise, but the pacing is just kinda hilarious
in the first 15 minutes yo go from falling out of a plane to having super powers on an underwater city and just blindly accepting quests from this random dude
I specially like how the first thing you do is walk up to a needle, grab it, and stick it in your arm as if it was nothing. No explanation.

lol its not the serious guys. cost isn't an issue. I asked because im sure many of you have played it before, just needed some opinions.

Yeah, shit is ridiculous. Who the fuck would just get into a submarine blindly after a plane crash?
This is why I hate silent protagonist in fps games.
hah, you know what I mean. The pacing just feels too fast, there's no room for any sort of hesitation. I get that it's something that is hard to do with silent protagonists, but it only makes the "oh look a needle, let's just stick it in my arm" thing the more hilarious.
Ever since Bioshock I think some games had better ways of dealing with this without necesarelly adding speech. It's just funny to go back to that.

But you forget about that certain phrase Salsa.
also I remember the part where you're just chillin picking an item and you turn around and there's a splicer RIGHT AT YOUR FACE
but I dont remember where it was, so now everytime I pick up an item I turn back immediatly
port is.. not good, really, but after some tweaks its not that bad either
im getting some stutter that feels more like frame skipping rather than a framerate drop. Downsampling and forcing AA, it looks good but some of the lighting and texture work is really rough. 2007 was quite a while ago, as it turns out.
