My BioShock! Nooooooo! Someone Must Pay!
youkilledmyguy | 6:03 PM on 09.09.2008 23 comments


Having finally gotten around to playing BioShock I settled down in front of my PC and got to work. I was blown away not only with how amazing the game looked but with the story from the beginning. Normally when a game comes out with a lot of hype around it I tend to back off and wait for things to cool down before I play it. I want to develop and an opinion without the feedback of everyone else.

So far I have to say that the credit this game was given was totally on point. Aside from one huge problem I have had.

*SPOILER ALERT*




Playing through to the point where I entered Langford's office to search the safe I was confronted with a horrible bug/glitch. The safe is empty, thus not allowing me to progress any further in the game. I've re-installed, started the game over, basically every step one would take to fix the problem and it hasn't helped. As I've searched for a solution I've found that this has happened with other people and not just on PC, there are also Xbox players who are reporting this bug. I've posted on the 2k forums and gotten zero response.

It's very disappointing to say the least. Getting myself into a game that is fun and with a great story is such a rare thing these days. I hate seeing it ruined by such a glaring error. You would think that by now 2k would have stepped up and done something about this, I mean it's not a simple bug where an enemy freezes or something that prevents you from getting an achievement. It's a game stopping glitch. I really wish companies would put more effort into uncovering and fixing these type of issues.

So until a solution comes up I'm left with a partially finished game... yay.

Horray I'm not the only one. I just got my copy today (my X-Box last week) in the mail (used for 15 bucks) it's a little scratched so it stalls here and there but it hasn't been in any key spots yet.

But I'm glad I'm not the only one late to the Bioshock party. Kinda stinks I already know the twist but still its friggin creepy and yes, point on. Even after seeing Big Daddy over and over again around the internet, running into your first one is just flat out amazing.

Sucks about the bug though.

It hurts to hear this story. I hope you find a fix, the game really is worth it.

I hope 2K Boston releases a fix for this problem soon. You've got to think there's been enough complaining on the issue.

"Bioshock on my PC"

I think I found your problem.

Yes the problem must be that I'm playing it on PC. After all why would I want superior graphics and controls when I could play it on a console which has the same glitch happening. The wonderful thing about PC is that I can always download another copy of the game or when someone does discover a file edit that fixes it, I can perform it myself. I don't need to wait for the company to get around to releasing a patch.

Now if you're implying that my PC itself is the problem I'd also disagree. My computer is above and beyond most recommended game requirements and is full of nothing but industry standard hardware. It's the game developers fault that their product fails to operate properly.

That really sucks about the bug. I thought I had a similar one at another point, but I was just being stupid.

If the bug doesn't get fix, you could try starting a new game, using a cheat/crack to jump to the level you bugged out on, and use a different cheat/crack to get your character back to the same stats as you started the level on. It might not bug again, and it's faster than playing through the whole thing again :)

It'd be really fucking creepy if you rented a 360 copy and the same thing happened. Like black listed from beating the game, haha.

That's why the PS3 version is #1.

The first problem is that you're playing Bioshock in the first place.

Your PC is just getting you back for installing it.

Wait, I suck. You could just edit the required item into your inventory!

At least you enjoyed the game up to that point. I just plain didn't enjoy the game.

I guess I'm a snob...

Bioshock did rock, but that's not what I came here to say. I came here to tell you that your blog header is AWESOME. The Kirby TF2 picture scores an A+ in my book.

I'd try what the professor said. Nothing worse than lost progress.

I'm with you on the hype thing, like brainderailment said, I'm playing through Assassin's Creed right now and I love the game. It has some problems but people will always find a reason to hate. Sucks about your game though, I f'n love Bioshock.
