    The Bioshock demo hit live. Why aren't you playing?

    Can't wait for this game to come out. The demo was great. The graphics are easily the best I've seen in any game so far (I couldn't believe that opening sequence was in-game).

    So anyone else play it yet?

    The reasons I don't want to are:
    1. I don't have an x-box or a 360.
    2. X-box has made enough first-person shooters, I don't need to play another.

      Thats a horrible reason to not play an FPS (The second one :P) Especially this one. From the same people who made System Shock 2, which is one of the greatest FPS's ever >_>

        The problem with X-box is that they make way too many FPS's. From what I remember (correct me if I'm wrong, I might be) X-box started of just as another gaming system. One of its first games was obviously Halo. Since then they've been focused on making more FPS's somewhat like it. The only games on x-box I know are not FPS's are those odd M-rated beach volleyball games, and any multi-system game. I'd say stick with Halo and War games. Forget about Bioshock and other badly (used lightly) named games.

        Oh and I would like to play Halo 3 and any other war-based FPS on the 360. I've read the review of Bioshock in EGM and it just didn't look interesting, along with a lot of others.

          Bioshock named badly? :P Its a kind of homage to system shock, since bioshock is its spiritual successor. I'd suggest you just get off of it, since you haven't even played the game, and seem to be even unaware of the plot or anything about it. All the reviews so far have been absolutely great, and I wont be surprised if this gets game of the year.

            Not game of the year. If something on the 360 gets that then it would be Halo 3.

            As you wish, no more replies on this thread for me.

              Even though halo 3 will probably be a great game, I doubt it will be anywhere on the level of Bioshock. I can already tell your taste in games if you think the 360 should just stick to games like halo and war games :P

                Sorry just one more.

                I like FPS's and I have a wide area of games. The only thing is that X-box has made too many of them. If they did something different for a change then they could be an awesome system.

                I promise this is the last one.

                  Well, if you read the reviews you'd know this isn't just your run and gun FPS :P If you've ever played Deus Ex or System shock (Which I doubt you have, but eh who knows) than you know what im talking about. Seeing as both games are regarded as some of the best First person shooters made, Im almost positive Bioshock will follow in their footsteps.

                    Yeah, I really want to play this game. Can't wait for it to come out on PC. =D

                      I was going to get it for pc, but at the same time I originally thought I would have upgraded my pc by now. >_> So 360 it is.

                        Complete ignorance. While the original Xbox had many, many FPS, the 360 has less than you'd think. The 360 is the PS2 of this generation, with the release of several amazing racing games, several RPGs on the way made by Mr Final Fantasy and music by Nobuo, plenty more platforming games, a flock of arcade games, and all those silly puzzle games that you can spend countless hours on. The 360 has Japanese support this time around, so don't expect countless FPS's (they'll still be made, I'm not stupid, but there will be plenty of other games to buy)

                        Bioshock will blow Halo 3 out of the water purely by innovation. It's doing stuff no other FPS has done before, and it's done them flawlessly from what most reviews are saying.

                        While it lacks your legs, it makes it up with everything else. The demo was amazing, and I'll be picking it up on launch.

                        Ps. Banjo Kazooie 3 kthxbi.

                          Lighting people on fire and than electrifying them as they try to put themselves out in the water is the greatest thing ever D:

                          The opening sequence is great too. Probably one of the most atmospheric moments I've seen in gaming in a while. >_>

                            Because it'll look ten times better on the PC.

                            Duh.

                            Oh, if there's not at least five references to System Shock II in the game, I'm going to be pissed.
