the story in bio2 is actually pretty great, less gimmicky than bio1's even, though not nearly as memorable.

Well it's more to do with played the first (mainly because System Shock 2 is one of my fav games) on release and loved it. Got the second about 6 months after it came out on the cheap (sounded like a cash cow and was made by an entirely different developer) and tried about 5 or 6 times to get into it but over all it never has gripped me and the story is very convoluted so far and I sense a fair few retcons as to what Ken Levine intended for the overall narrative of the first. Couldn't put Infinite down but now I've finished it I though I may as well try and finish 2 for the like 7th attempt but it's like I said feels like a fan game.
Graphically and mechanically holding up is not the issue but the story hasn't got me even the slightest bit interested in playing it. If it somehow gets better latter on I'd be will to give it some more time but so far I've managed 3 hours in and just find it lacking every time.
I was curious about it?
I mean I never meant to not give it a chance, I just didnt think i'd like it this much

I wonder when XCOM will be a Daily Deal, everytime I see a gameplay video, makes me want to play it 
Same here and I hope when it does go on sale it will be 75% off , that's my upper limit for game purchases.I wonder when XCOM will be a Daily Deal, everytime I see a gameplay video, makes me want to play it

Seeing as how they were giving away Xcom like candy at halloween not but a week ago, my guess is you'll see 75% off at the summer sale.

Just go in the B/S/T thread and buy one of the many copies being sold for $10-15.

Well Derrick, just bought Hitman Absolution for $7. Figure can't go wrong for that price. Hopefully it becomes my favorite game EVER and then we can join hands and sing in harmony.

False. Story is actually really good in my opinion.
Spot on. Just really didn't have the memorable plot twist the first one had. Still an excellent tale.

Dude, it's $10 bucks in this very thread. I doubt you will see it that cheap for quite some time. :\
Bioshock 2 > Bioshock 1
Come at me.
Totally worth finishing. It kind of does what resident evil 3 for part 2, being both a prequel and sequel. Really fleshes out the history of Rapture. The weapons and powers in this is probably the best I've played in the Bioshock games. Including Infinite (thus far).
Playing 1 and 2 back to back for the first time this month was a hell of a ride.

Great minds think alike. I also was itching for more Bioshock after finishing Infinite, so I decided to try out 2.
They removed 360 pad support? Bioshock 1 supported it, what idiot made the call to remove support in 2? Fuck, this sucks.

Except when you really want to play with a pad.

Question: when your laptop meets the minimum requirements for a game but not the recommended requirements, do you still purchase? (assuming, of course, that you're going to play the game at some point)
I'm worried that it will play like shit.

You'll probably just need to switch the graphics to medium. But it depends on how close enough to the required settings you're on.
And how well optimized the game is.

I'm totally up for another FUEL run, it's been forever. I'll presumably have most of the starter area stuff unlocked though, which can make it difficult for new players to coordinate on points.
If anyone wants to suggest a time, please just give me a day or two advance notice so I can redownload.

I redownloaded FUEL tonight (it's only 3 1/2 GB). Let's get up in this bitch!
Buying that game at any price is always wrong.
They removed it?! Wtf? I just bought it for my htpc.

Buy the 4-pack.
I really like FUEL and think it's quite underrated. It's a flawed experience but I find it to be such a great game to chill out too. I especially enjoy the races in the various weather conditions and it's got some nice locations. It's the sort of game I just put a marker on the map and drive to it whilst chillin to podcasts or whatever. Sometimes I just like to take in the atmosphere and go for a long drive as well. That's not very appealing to everyone of course but I dig it.
There's also a pretty cool mod for it called FUEL Refueled. It's made by one guy but a lot of work has gone into it. He's very dedicated to it though releases can be slow but it's still cool to mess around with.
The big turnoff is that it uses GFWL which is as shit as always but I still enjoy the game regardless.
