I PURCHASED BIOSHOCK TODAY
Husky Hog | 1:32 PM on 08.15.2007 39 comments




I know what you're thinking. "This has to be the most frantically written post ever"

Well it is

I have a dentist appointment in 15 min, which bumbs me out, because I can't play bioshock.

I woke up this morning with a frantic message from lawl informing me his toys r us sold him a bioshock game. I didn't believe him until he showed me his picture

Then I frantically picked up the phone, and called my toys R us

"No hun, sorry, I'm supposed to tell all calls we do not carry that game"

Damn... maybe I should run down there

So I went down to the game section (this is an hour after they open FYI) and the guy is stocking the shelves. "Hey... do you guys have a copy of bioshock" "no man, but I heard other stores do, try target" (lol)

So I walked around with my 20% off copon for a bit, decided there was nothing I want, then proceed to leave. As I was driving away the employee came frantically running into the parking lot, bioshock in hand "Dude, is this the game you want?" "HELLL YEESSS" I grabbed it from him and bought it before they had the chance to change their mind. "Hey" I asked as I was about to leave "Do you have any idea when this game came out?" "No man, I hear it's a new release though" "haha, alright cool thanks"

Meanwhile i'm off to my dentist appointment, then i'll be playing my video gamez

That's pretty friendly of those TRU workers though. I can't imagine any euro shop that would run after you.

You know that the doctors from the Medical Wards in Rapture were previously ALL DENTISTS, right?

Husky is sitting in his own personal purgatory. That's what you get! :)

AngelsDontBurn's Destructoid Blog
Congrats Husky! :D

I was thinking about going to my TRU earlier today since my job is close to one. But then I thought to myself I might as well just wait since I preordered the LE. :D

A1HK's Destructoid Blog
What's the big deal? I played the demo, have seen the video's This game is NOT THAT GOOD. And by not that good, i mean it is really just another average shooter with so so graphics, and lets face it 1960's technology could not support and underwater city. Where do they get their power, their food, their supplies, for that matter who supplied the building of the city in the first place.

Ugh, Bioshock, you're BioShit.
PwnyBownz's Destructoid Blog
This game is going to be a true idiot filter. ^^

I play Bioshock and I believe in intelligent design.
Kotua's Destructoid Blog
Lol "Only on Xbox 360 and Windows."
A1HK, I wouldn't say its another shooter. Its more likely it will be better than Halo 3...

and also something about it being made by people who made System Shock 2 or something.
A1HK's Destructoid Blog
I'm double posting these comments as there are many post for this.

It had to be said. I mean really it's a shooter with no CoOp, no multiplayer and the weapons are dated. The "bio" stuff has been done before but they are selling it as a new thing. Then there is the believability of the whole thing, i personally like a bit of science fact with my science fiction.

With games like Mass Effect,COD4, Halo 3 and other shooters-RPG like games set to release why should 2k get my time and $60?

Oh and, what's up with little girls being all things evil?
A1HK's Destructoid Blog
JMO but Kotua i don't see this being better than Halo 3 or getting more play time. CoOp with four, and multiplayer showdowns gives Halo 3 countless hours of fun to be had.


Han Solo said it best, "Good against remotes is one thing, good against the living is a whole other story kid."
tazarthayoot's Destructoid Blog
Dude...it's a fucking video game.
A1HK's Destructoid Blog
lol @ tazar Yes it is and the hype is getting annoying.
Husky Hog's Destructoid Blog
Dentist was torture but I HOME NOW! :D
Caspian's Destructoid Blog
@A1HK: Go caress your Master Chief helmet replica, fanboy. Leave us artistic game admirers alone. If multiplayer means I have to listen to the opinions of people like you every time I play, then I'll stay offline, thanks.
A1HK's Destructoid Blog
@Caspian:
That's rich you calling me a fanboy.

Enjoy the game I'm just poking holes in the hype.
Rogue Trooper's Destructoid Blog
Well, I'm getting both but I'm a bit more hyped about Bioshock then Halo 3.
Ub3rSlug's Destructoid Blog
What is worse Husky?

The Dentist Drill or a Mr. Bubbles's Drill?
pedrovay2003's Destructoid Blog
@A1HK

I actually agree with you when you say it's "just another average shooter" --- I've played the demo quite a few times already, and I can't see anything too special about it. Then again, it is just a demo...

However, I have to disagree about the "so so" graphics --- The graphics really are the best I've seen in any game period, shooter or otherwise. And I'm only playing it on a crappy tube TV, too.
The Incredible Edible Egg's Destructoid Blog
STOP REINSTATING MY ANXIETY!

I want to go out and play it. I already plan to try and get the madden discount and try to return it (because I'm a bitch who reads the return policies)
A1HK's Destructoid Blog
@pedrovay2003
I say the graphics are so so because i am viewing them at 1080p and the guns look like something out of wolfenstein. Well okay, not that bad but not good. Compared to GRAW 2, GOW, or even Doom 3, COD 2, or FEAR (another evil girl) they look average at best.

The world is okay but dark so not much detail there. The water looks awesome, but water has looked pretty good graphically speaking for a while now.

The movement of the AI enemy look a bit puppet like but that could just be the way they were designed.

Yes i understand it is a Demo, so yes i understand that there could be improvements, but if the point of a demo is to sell your product why not make it as good as it possibly can, otherwise, call it a beta or don't release it.


My point all along has been: Don't believe the hype.


pedrovay2003's Destructoid Blog
@A1HK

Yeah, I get what you mean about the hype. Honestly, I'm probably one of the only people who was more excited about this game before I played the demo.
Pedro Blandino's Destructoid Blog
