Thats when I'll be home and can fire it up... :D
I actually called my wife and walked her through starting the steam install once I saw it was given the green light this morning... :p
Mass Effect can wait!

I've been quite wary of it since it isn't being handled by anyone from the Bioshock 1 team... let me know what you think!Quote:

Back to playing!
I'm not sure if I like it yet. It seems about the same so far, except you play as a big daddy of course.
Dont get me wrong bioshock was a great game, and I see they didnt mess with success.
Graphically it runs off the Unreal engine, so framrates are good and the game looks descent as well.
I have only played it for about 30 mins.
LOL I did the same with Dawn of War 2. I called home and had her get steam running :)Quote:

Kotaku's review called the sequel better then the original. It's not as ground breaking, but the new gameplay mechanics and story are much better the the original.Quote:

A better story, WUT. I'll need to check it out.Quote:

I love the trap rivets and the .50 cal minigun you get.

They also mentioned that their is much more plasmid cross over in terms of being able to mix them up for cool effects and bonus damage. Traps also play a MUCH bigger role and new hacking mechanics are much better then the previous plumbing system.
I think they also said you could embue your plasmids with your weapons but it wasn't really clear. Wurm, can you clarify that?
You bastard.
I looked for it at Mediamarkt an hour ago, but they didn't have it. Maybe I'll find it downtown on Friday.
I so thought this was going to be some kind of speed run - glad you're enjoying it Wurm :)
Steam pre-order FTMFW!!!!Quote:

Wurm: Yeah, I know, but I want to physically own the game. :) That's why I'll wait until I find it at a store. Glad you're enjoying it, though. Looking forward to visiting Rapture again!
FAIL:
Was expecting youtube posting of you speedrunning the whole game in 30min.
It seems like the widescreen issue from the original game is back. 2K is working on the issue right now. I'm kind of sad that something like this got through again. Going through the INI files shows all kinds of 360 and PS3 information which just screams that it was poorly ported over.
Having said that, the first minutes of the game was great. It seems to run better than the original too which is a plus in my book.
i think i'll wait for securom, and hopefully windows live, to be removed from the steam version, its simply rediculous to have those tools in place with steam
Have fun waiting for something that's not going to happen.Quote:
