Well what a surprise i had this weekend, not only was the game released to the shops a day early but my wife went and bought it for me without me knowing LOL.

Anyway just thought id see if anyone else is playing and what your opinions are.

For the record I love the game >< specially the massive plot twist half way through :S

I was thinking about getting it are the PC specs high?

I saw the demo the other day and thought must get.

 

Not sure, however if the pc is gonna be as high graphicly as the xbox is I think it may need a fairly decent machine to run properly.

However its still worth the effort imo

 

Always, always, always go straight to the source:

 

ROFL like anyone would even try to get it to work with Vista LOL

2gb ram ouch...

 

I have the reccomended specs apart from the 2GB ram which will sorted shortly.

I may buy it as pay day approaches (30th August)

 

The game is awesome and is very well optimised, so performance isn't that much of an issue if at at all. As long as your system exceeds the minimum spec you should get nice graphical detail.

 

Its awesome game, finished it last nite. Me and the missus were tag teaming the game over the weekend.

Havent enjoyed a playing a fps for ages. Well worth the money.

 

lol thats cheating youve only payed half the game
what setting you play it on? im doing the middle setting atm so going back for the top difficulty after i complete it, gonna try not killing the little girls this time

 

hahah yeah, when it got too hard i played her part too lol.

playing medium setting as well, i saved the girls all through the game.

dont know if i'll go back and play top setting, i need to go back to study mode heh.

 

Why not? You HAVE to use Vista to use DX10.

 

I heard of it, I never really looked into it. There are a few games that I would like to get, I guess this one is added to the list.

 

we can all only hope for a wife like yours

grim

 

LooL cos there are so many dx10 only games out atm ;)

 

I recently got this game through steam, I must the the story line is very diverse . The effects are pritty good as well. Although there was a bit of a scandle with the copy protection they used on it, the game its self is spot on and worth getting

 

every game i have played with vista business so far has worked fine.

i completed bioshock over the weekend on full settings.

my pc spec:

e6600
8800 gtx
2gb ram

 

were you evil or nice to the children

 

But you specifically questioned why anyone would try to get Bioshock to work on Vista:

The answer is because of DX10... whether there are many games or a few games out that support DX10 is irrelevant to whether someone would specifically try to get Bioshock, which supports DX10, to work on Vista. Logical thought process FTW, mate.

 

A DX10 patch is coming out for XP dont know when and I dont know if its gonna be included in SP3

 

Not from Microsoft, it won't be. From Microsoft's DX10 FAQ page:

In short, Windows XP cannot support DX10. It's not technically possible.
