Bioshock 2 in less than 30 mins...

[Wurm]

I was (bio) shocked as well! The review says there is less of a twist and just more a deeper characterization of the main player and the supporting cast. Most of it is told through old audio dairies which I was a fan of from the first game.

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 imbue your plasmids with your weapons but it wasn't really clear. Wurm, can you clarify that?

No idea, so far its been weapon upgrade stations only like in the first game. The new hacking tool is MUCH better. And you get a remote hacking gun that you can use to hack a camera or bot from across the room to seriously ruin some slicers day.

The big sisters are about as scary as running into your first rosie from the first game. but they go down and they leave adam. So far I'm rescuing the little sisters. They look too much like my little girl to harvest them lol

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!

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.

FYI, the Steam copy will still have GFWL.

the original had securom, and it was eventually removed, thats when i bought it through steam, maybe a year or more, but i'm back logged enough with games

I like the whole hacking process much better overall. I played more tonight, it's pretty much the same as the original. No worse, and about 10-20 % improved.
If you're a bioshock fan, definitely get this.

Will be hitting the local game store later today for this game, I love the first, hope this one lives up to the hype....

I bought the game on steam and then dled the pirate release to avoid the securom and activation crap.

I went downtown three hours ago and purchased the game. Admiring the case as I'm writing. Going to install it and try it later tonight.

Played a bit last night. Fun, story seems interesting, very happy to be back in Rapture. Feeling like the game is a little too linear currently but I'm hoping that changes.

The Big Sister identity theory:

Spoiler

She has to be the little sister from the beginning... the one you're trying to find. Can anyone yet confirm if this is or isn't the case? I just want a simple yes/no
