In bioshock it takes you to a seperate window where you have all the time in the world.

I have to say that its a lot better than some of the other tripe being churned out. NFS, i'm looking at you

It gets a lot more difficult the further you get in to the game.

Not quite all the time in the worl but I get your point.. Real time stops..

They should have different puzzles etc.. Like Soduko

Yeah hacking is a real bore, as is getting all the research photos (especially doing it three times like I did!). It's really good when you get full bot and turret research and hacking automatically works though. With a few tweaks they could have made it a superb game instead of just a really good one I reckon. There really is no impetus to stay alive with so many Vita-chambers about; if you set the alarm off you're better off standing still and getting killed by the bots so the alarm resets, rather than wasting your ammo or plasmids on them.

One of my main gripes (apart from being able to hack in mid-air) is that when you hack the U-Invent machines you suddenly need less stuff to invent things. So... does hacking make them more efficient in terms of materials, and if so why aren't they that efficient already? Surely an item either needs a certain number of parts or it doesn't. Whatever. And why is it that I can collect 30 rubber hoses, distilled waters and alcohols, but only ever have a handful of batteries, brass tubes or steel screws? Inventions are bottlenecked by lack of a single item that's required for each one. These are things that could easily be ironed out.

When I've done that I can see myself trading it in. As brilliant as I think it is, it doesn't have a huge amount of replay value.

Much the same as how I feel about it. The experience first time round was brilliant imo, but I don't have a huge urge to go back to it and when I do, it'll just be for the last few achievements.

I've got Shadowrun on the 360 and Daz has it on Vista. It's good fun, I haven't played it in a while but it really drew me in for a while. It had some dodgy reviews but a mate bought it so I wanted to join in and it was a good multiplayer experience, I liked the variation that the different races brought to it as well as the various magical skills.

Awesome sig Huddy!

I got bored this afternoon

Stan_Lite · 10-10-2007, 00:21

WOW!!!

This is fun. Finally got round to starting it and wish I'd done it as soon as I got back (I only have a week until I head back out to Egypt again

).

I went as far as Neptune's Bounty tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it - can't wait to play some more tomorrow.

I am, of course, playing on the PC on "noob" for the first time round. I've got it playing at full resolution (1920x1200) with all the goodies turned on and maintaining framerates at around the 60 FPS mark (god I love my 8800GTX OC2).

Having fun

Big Daddy??? Get your own

Belmit · 10-10-2007, 09:09

I was about to say 'already got one', but that one's a tad bigger! I'd bloody love to have that if I had the room. Awesome.

Davey_Pitch · 10-10-2007, 09:35

That Big Daddy would be amazing, you wouldn't need a guard dog when you can have the silhouette of that against your window
