MOTHERFUCK IF THESE ASSHOLES DIDN'T INCLUDE A WAY TO CHANGE THE STICK MOVEMENT OPTIONS I'M GOING TO BE INCREDIBLY PISSED
It doesn't look like they did :( |
I saw an option for axis-inversion, but otherwise... looks like maybe not. |
Just saying not to assume the options won't be there. The US Tenchu Z demo didn't have camera inversion at all, but the retail version does. So there's an example of lacking all of the stick config options in a demo. Even though that's really stupid and can convince people who would otherwise buy your game to maybe not do so based on the demo...
As for the demo content... I guess I'm one of the few who was entirely unimpressed by the demo.
The retro-future theme doesn't hook me any more. It's not as interesting as Fallout, and hell it isn't even as well done as Stubbs the Zombie, mediocre game as it was. Even within the neo-30s vibe, the art is surprisingly dull. The demo felt kind of empty and boring for me in an aesthetic sense.
The movement feels wrong to me. It's too smooth and fast, almost gliding. That goes in general, but even more off to me was the "swimming" segment at the beginning feels like gliding or running through a room. Shouldn't you bob around or maybe more a little more slowly or deliberately? Is our protagonist a superhuman Olympic medal winning swimmer who can effortlessly push through water at running speed (even after an unexpected plane crash)?
Like Faithless said, I find the game completely un-scary. I can tell the devs are going for some fear/tension, but I'm not feeling it at all.
I've been getting back into the FPS genre, so it's not just that the style of game is not my thing. I liked The Darkness, I've been playing Doom 3 lately, I'm looking forward to 360 HL2 very much. I just think Bioshock is kinda dull. Admittedly I've never been a System Shock fanatic (I played the original long ago and never did get around to SS2), but I didn't go into it just expecting to be so underwhelmed by Bioshock. |

So I went to ToysRUs.com to see if they had Bioshock yet and they don't. But they DO have a deal going on where you can get it for 50% off with any Madden 08 game purchase. Do the math here and it means that you can buy Madden for the DS and get Bioshock for $30, making Madden basically a free bonus. I thought about doing it even though I don't give a shit about Madden, but I really want the Limited Edition version of Bioshock. Aww hell, I might do it anyways and just return the Bioshock to Wal-Mart.

What I had read of that offer was that if you bought Madden 08 you got 50% off any game of equal or lesser value. Thus, $30 DS game = you can get 50% off another $30 game, not $60 Bioshock. |
