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

You can't play it yet though, so we're even.
so I win
On another note, I'm going to get it today as well. ^^
That's pretty friendly of those TRU workers though. I can't imagine any euro shop that would run after you.
also I don't think there is a "b" at the end of bums.
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
this is so lame! it seems that toys r us are a bunch of dumbshits cuz they dont seem to understand street dates
god i wish mine were a bunch of dumbasses
Ugh, Bioshock, you're BioShit.
I play Bioshock and I believe in intelligent design.
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.
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?
Han Solo said it best, "Good against remotes is one thing, good against the living is a whole other story kid."
That's rich you calling me a fanboy.
Enjoy the game I'm just poking holes in the hype.
The Dentist Drill or a Mr. Bubbles's Drill?
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.
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)
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.
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.
im moving to dominican republic and i wont get the game for at lest another 2-3 weeks.
