I just bought it the day before yesterday. It lives up to every bit of it's hype IMO, and I've been getting overly tired of FPSs.

Anyone else played it yet? If not, you must.

I'm so tempted to get this game, but my track record isn't exactly fantastic. I'm good at games...I just don't really play them anymore. I've said some stuff in another thread, can't be bothered to expand on it.

Perfect Dark Zero has still only been played with for 10 mins.

My wireless steeringwheel is back in its box.

My PSP is still in my bag from holiday.

My games are covered in dust.

...

So tempted, though...I've been following that game for a long, long time.

I'm serious. It's more than worth it ;)

I've made a compromise with my wallet. If I complete Perfect Dark Zero, I'm allowed to buy it. I'm now sitting here with the game running...but I read the results, then I'll check my opponent, then I'll consider roleplaying.

MUST FINISH PERFECT DARK!

...

What am I saying? I've got to start it first...damn... :blink:

Why play Perfect Dark when you can play BioShock and inject yourself with a gene tonic that gives you telekinesis which you can use to catch an enemy's grenade and throw it back?

Trust me, there's a lot more where that came from. Just forget whatever you're doing and go buy it :P I guarantee you won't regret it.

I've read 5 reviews and watched 3 video reviews...I know the same is sweeter than some virgin pussy (or at least a close second) but I really need to finish these games I already have lol. Money aint an issue, I'm real good in that department...but why buy a Ferrari when you barely drive your Ford?

I've made it my mission to finish P.D. Then, when that's done, I'll definately buy Bioshock. As a reward. Yeah.

Any excuse. :rolleyes:

Why play Bioshock over PD?

Simply because you would be playing a better game.. and by better game I mean something that will hold your intrest. You know how many games I have lying around that I don't even play? Tons of them. And yet I'll still pick up my old faithfuls

Tekken 5

Metal Gear Solid

Smackdown vs RAW 07

Guitar Hero 1 2 and the 80's

Yep..

Mark you never shut up about games you can only play and afford now ...

Lets see

Tekken 5
K : Same fighting game over and over ... F'n A Mark , wheres the replay value

Metal Gear Solid
Great.... Same Game different layout everytime ..... Good series , But boring as well

Smackdown vs RAW 07
You only play this because you can beat Greg ..... And you use the same move over and over ..... BFD ..... Try some Gears , Or better yet Stranglehold Multi

Guitar Hero 1 2 and the 80's
Seriously ..what is with this game ? you buy the game for what 60 $$ , then they "make" you buy the damn guitar for an extra 40 - 60 ..... Granted I cant play the damn game either ... but there to much hype over it ,



Now you got - IV , Halo , Halo Wars , The Club ( look it up Good game getting no press at all ) , BioShock , Two Worlds , Madden 08 ( is actually a great game this year ) , SvR 08 , And the list goes on .....

When you talk about games , Mark will always have something to say like " I Pwn't you" or some stupid bullshit , but the fact is he only plays with Chad and Greg anyways ... and is to hung up on the Wii , playing whatever gay game they have out now ( except Zelda )

So from here on out Mark , Your officially banned from playing any future game with me ...

BTW , I have BioShock as well

Beat it two times

1x Easy
1x Meduim

and now for the hard setting

There is a huge difference in Easy and Medium as it took me about 6 hours longer.

BTW Mark , The replay value on Bio shock is good cause theres many different ways to mix it up.

One thing i keep fucking up on is getting all 53 Tonics and All power ups for weapons

Dude.. wtf

I was saying that Bioshock was a great game and showing him reasons on why he should give up on playing Perfect Dark.

Bioshock pwnz Perfect Dark without a shadow of a doubt. The games that I mentioned I play I called my classics. Not your classics, my classics. I have them lying around amidst a strew of other video games.

Tekken 5.. why? Cause I play it competivetly.. it's one of the fighting games where the mechanics have always stuck with me. I practice Tekken 5 to pwn at the arcade against noobs.

MGS- Metal Gear Solid is the shit, sorry you didn't like it.

SVR- I don't even play Greg anymore or go online with it. I just do my own shows. Lately I've been playing ROH vs TNA for the N64 emulator project.. but you as usual didn't know that.

Guitar Hero- It's a great game, I don't play guitar and never will. I like it, it's fun.

Not once did I say the 360 was shit, not once did I diss any of the games you play. And not once did I tell the guy to go out and buy my games. Read before you speak Caleb because you sound like an idiot atm.

Thanks by the way... I never wanted to play online with you anyways. You'd cry after I spank you with my pwnage.


PS- I can walk into EB Games at any time and buy a Xbox 360, with the recent price drop that is my current plan with my first commission cheque. Don't ever question my money, I have lots of it.

lol...

...SEE JOHN! BioShock's so damn good people are fighting over it's greatness.

I believe I've already played about 10 hours of the game and I've had fun the entire time. It's constantly fun. I haven't played a game like that for a long time.

BTW, MGS owns.

I didn't even suggest Bioshock isn't as good as Perfect Dark. My comment was simply saying I'm wasting alot of money on games, then I don't play them...so, I'll complete P.D, then buy Bioshock. Otherwise I'll buy Bioshock and never finish PD.

Might only be worth a rent then? but then again, me n my bro owned Gears Of War on co-op on all three settings in the space of a week...yet I still want it. Bioshock would probably fall into that category.

I know what you mean.

I bought The Darkness several weeks ago. I ended up buying GRAW2 right afterwards and finishing that before The Darkness. Then, just as I started getting back into The Darkness, I bought BioShock.

I'm just saying, in my opinion, that if you're going to shell out the cash for any 360 games, BioShock is definitely worth it. I only buy games if I think I'm going to have fun playing them, and I've enjoyed every bit of BioShock to this point.

BTW... the Wii is garbage :o

Metroid Prime 3 just dropped this week.. pick it up if you have a Wii, it's worth it as well.

But then again, it's Metroid.. it has to pwn or else all the fanboys will riot and burn Nintendo to the ground.

PS- The Wii is fun, whenever I get drunk I find myself boxing people and winning. It keeps me out of trouble from picking fights on the boards.. therefore, it's a benefit to me.

What else does the Wii offer in terms of features? Well with our stock channell on the internet, not only can I monitor my stocks but also mon..

yeah lol I gotta stop selling stuff. Benefits and features are what will drive anyone towards a specific game or console, there is no "better system" there is only what appeals to others. Xbox is geared more or less towards the online gamer with maturity, but with some of the shit those Halo players say.. I'd wonder if that maturity lvl is 12. I will buy a 360, when I feel I would benefit from it. At this current time my PC is offering me the most out of gaming with the arcade being second for fun factor.

Look at it in a demographic, not from a fan spectrum. All of the systems out right now are great, and are geared more or less towards specific individuals. The Wii just happens to be more family oriented and for the casual gamer who might not care to much about gameplay, but just wants to have some fun. It delivers in that aspect. (Wii Sports, Mario Party, Raymans Raving Rabbits) all games that can be played in short spurts at a time.

Where as games on the 360 are more for a mature themed audience that likes to sit down and play (Saints Row, Bioshock, Oblivion) all great games but all dedicated games that you will play for awhile. Also.. all games I can get on my PC if it's upgraded to a specific point.

So as stated before, if I want to play those Xbox games, I can just pirate them for free and play them on my PC without care. That' why the 360 at the time is not effective or beneficial to me, where as the Wii is beneficial for keeping me occupied while drinking.

Not to mention I can surf porn on it.. that's pretty cool. B)

I agree with you, Mark. It's all a matter of personal opinion.

I'm usually very picky about the systems and games I buy, but honestly, when the 360/PS3/Wii's were announced I told myself I wasn't buying any of them. Of course, I ended up getting way too sick of my PS2 and I needed something better.

The PS3 would've surely been my first choice if it wasn't $600 and if I had heard better things about it.

I decided on a 360 because, one, the only game I really want that the 360 doesn't have that the PS3 does have is MGS4, two, I've never liked the Wii for whatever reason, and three, in the end, playing video games is all about having fun. I knew that the 360 had great graphics, gameplay, and plenty of video games to keep me satisfied. I'm not disappointed with my choice, even if MGS4 doesn't end up on the 360. There's so many other great games to play that I can go without MGS4 if need be.

Now, back to what I originally created this topic for...

...the Wii is for wii-nii's :D
