I'm gonna wait DM~

Don't have the cash now, just got my car fixed and I have Bills in the Ying Yang!! Though I

did pre-Order ALIENS vs PREDATOR (2010) I want it the most, also BioSkock 2 and Mass Effect 2

that's 150 bucks!! and Change!! So as I mentioned I turned in my soda cans (recycled them) and ordered

Aliens vs Predator. I love the series, of games. have them all. Plus the X-Pack Primal Hunt.

Image

Yeah, PC Gamer gave BOISHOCK 2: Sea of Dreams, 90% in the new issue, Editors choice!!

You can expect this arcoss the Board, two games that are MUST have, BioShock and Mass Effect 2, the jury is out

on Aliens vs Predator (2010) so I'm taking a Gamble with it, however judging by the Trailers it's gonna ROCK!!

BIOSHOCK 2, IS A WIN WIN!!

We all know Mass Effect 2 is Awesome as well. Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is really pretty and fun, but I liked the first one better.

What messes those games up is the Gun Dual System, very tough to get used too, but boy Howdie the GFX in DX10 are off the HOOK!!

GameSpot gave BioShock 2 9.0 also Editors choice!! Why? They stick to what works and even improved on it, or that's what I've read,

needless to say ME2 and Bio2 both have Mind Blowing GFX!!

Image

I'll get them all when I can save the money, bills and my T-Bird are sucking me dry!!

My T-Bird is a 1991, with FlowMaster Dual Exhaust, Limousine Black windows, Pioneer CD Player, 4X Jenson speakers, American Racing Mags.

New Tranny, Engine and every part you can think of, when I was working full time I sank a lot of cash into it, about $8,000 bucks, plus what

it cost $2,500 to start with. Oh and Yokahama 16" 80,000 mile Wide Radial Tires!! It only has a 3.8 liter Engine v-6. Also has K and N intake.

I'm going to wax it tomorrow :D It's white. I smashed the Left front Fender years ago, but a Friend and I went to pick and Pull, got one off anothe Bird

and Painted it, some bondo, not much. Came out fine. Painted it in my Garage. I'm stoked to have it back up and running, just was waiting on

some parts.

Anyhow, yep BioShock 2, is a safe buy, you guys will love it!!

this is maybe the game i want most.. but stalker call of pripyat sounds great. id rage if it ever comes out. metro 2033 and id like to have borderlands too. and all dlc's maybe later more will come out and then a bl goty with all dlc's included.. id like to have all the fo3 dlc's too if it all worked right.. the fo3 goty on steam at christams was only 37 bucks with all dlc's- that was a good deal.. i guess the hybrid combo fps/rpg games are my favorite genre.

i guess you folks have seen the release trailer. its sweet. this is going to be a great game and its mp looks good too- but its gfwl junk- mw2 xbox café what ever its called- you cant pick teams etc. it places ya as it see fit. no normal server or lan support sucks mostly...>

have any of you others noticed yet just how evil the lil sistas are in the bioshock2 trailers. have you noticed every time a lil sista goes to extract adam from the dead. she always jabs her syringe into the dead bodies nads.. ha ha i guess adam comes from the balls.. i dont know..

it gives me chills to think if i died in rapture.. i dont have to worry about being eaten or burned or what ever.. but my nads will be tortured. she dont just jab ya 1 time in the nads she jabs ya a few times. ha ha.. gees. i have pain in my nads now.. :D

Image

i bet bioshock2 mp will be fun.. it looks crazy and has some cool modes- and up to 8 people can play together. many of us might not so much care for mp.. but bio2 mp looks like it can be a hoot. if we all have the game. im sure it would not be to hard to get 6 of us together.. id play mp with you guys if you wanted and after i get the game.. :D

BIOSHOCK 2, WIDE SCREEN FIX COMING SOON!!

Don't know how many folks have this game but according to 2K they were polishing up the game

at the last moment prior to Shipping and inadvertently messd up the FOV for Widescreen Monitors.

So the first patch will fix that just that. I was Happy to here NO GAME PAD Support for this Game!!

So if a XBOXER wants to play on the PC, they need to learn what a Keyboard and Mouse are. :D

However they will probably support Gamepads in that Patch as well? For the kiddies. ;) They probaly feel

the same way as I do about Gamepads, they LOVE them, I hate the DAMN things personally.

Here's a Link to Rapture and the Wide screen Info:: http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/ar ... nouncement

Look here for the patch for sure, trusting GFWL to the task, is iffy at Best. I think MS just came up with GFWL to get a cut out of

every game that comes to the PC, as they get with the xbox so does the ps3, all games that go to either console pay MS or SONY 10

bucks EACH game sold. They should just sell the systems for like 50 bucks, as the real MONEY is in the games that Joe Gamer

buys. Think about that, so if MS and Sony did'nt tack on that ten bucks, the console gamers would get their new games for 49

instead of 59 BUCKS!! Another reason PC's ROCK!! However MS's cut on the PC is much less, with GFWL. I like the idea of updating games for you,

and putting them all in one place. Kinda. A Great idea, but GFWL can be a REAL PAIN in the ASS!! IMHO. :banghead:

Just a Seperate Game folder with the Option to have MS update your games is all is needed. If that. Then there's the Steam fighting GFWL

issue. Who patches what?? What I'd love to see MS do, is on the main screen, the VERSION number should be there in plain sight.

Why is that so DAMN hard!! :mrgreen:

Image

Funny the Original Game had the SAME issue. Also the fix for Bioshock one mauy work with Bio2?? But I'd wait for the official fix.

How they could ship the game for only a 4:3 ratio is beyond me!! Does'nt somebody test these games before they ship, LOL!! :P

They must do all their testing on CRT's. Odd, this is 2010 WS Monitors are everywhere, even I mad the move!! Love the HD!!

Also at the Rapture Site, they have a GANG of PIX in game. That don't have that lame ass GS stamp on them, I love GS but hate that stupid

stamp on all there Images, well not all but mostly. I'm looking forward to another round of BioShock..... Sea of Dreams. (BioShock2)

It's gotten Awesome reviews for the most part, simply put if you LOVE the first game, BioShock 2 gives you more and has several improvements, from what I've read.

Funny all the Screen Shots are in WS!!

Image

Go Figure.... :grin:

Here's a Screen from their Wallpaper Pak::

Not really in the Wallpaper Pack, but the one I posted Erik already had so this is just a cool pic. :mrgreen:

Cool... :9: There's 5 in the Pak in various sizes.

ya its sad. stuff gets pushed out the door and never re checked or tested- poor quality controls. id fire some 1. its just no excuse for such things. a lil thing like this can hurt sales and rep..

from what i read. they done a pretty good job on the mp parts. its said fun and works good.. i will get this game someday. i will buy the retail version.. :D :9:

Well...2K released a New Patch today!!

However they have not fixed the widescreen Issue, that I know of, anyhow here's the FIX LIST::

Image

Link:: http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/ar ... hlistfirst

Have no idea who will update it, if you have Steam and GFWL?? I'm sure it's at Fileshack as well. ;)

Wish they'd release two seperate games, that would help a lot, one SP Campaign, one MP, Spawn-a-thon.

Each for say 20 bucks, that way when they fix one, they wouldn't screw up the other, that goes for all PC game, IMHO.

I have no desire to play any of these MP games, really, I always check them out, they are all the same as always.

Quake Wars was the only MP game that was truly Different from the norm.

I hate paying for the MP game when I never play it!! :banghead:

Back to the Bio2 Patch thing, next patch will fix the WS issue I guess? My Brother has this game and said that

with GFWL, and he has it on Steam too, (Major Screw up there) anyway he said it was crashing to the desktop all

the time, but works now, I think, with this Patch. It'll get ironed out, but I agree, with Erik, TOP Dollar Games,

should be polished from the gate, I think it's the pre-order thing that messes the games up, having to PUSH them

out the DOOR, ready or NOT!! :scare: They HAVE to meet the DEADLINES!! Is all it boils down to. Though I do wonder

how in the World they could let it get past the testing, with such a HUGE ERROR. A couple in Fact, or a few.

Still think Borderlands is the BEST game out, maybe MASS EFFECT2 as well. Don't have it yet though.

Borderlands is so different then anything out there, IMO. Awesome game. :mrgreen:

So stand by for a WS fix to come down the pipe within days.... :D

STILL THINK GFWL SUX CAST IRON BALLS!!

thats a pretty long fix list and still lots of stuff to fix. but i guess folks can be grateful the patches are coming out fast- i think 2k took a lot longer to put out patches for bioshock. but i agree. its no excuse for the games not to run perfect out of the box. lack of quality controls and testing on multi systems and configs..

um. i think bioshock2 mp is probably different from all other mp games. as far as game mode types and can be a big daddy and plasmids and tonics etc. bioshock2 mp is not the same run and gun like all other mp games. id bet if a few of us try mp bioshock2 and give it a chance we will like it and can trust the few folks we play with to at least be honest and not a cheater. just being in the bioshock world would be lovely and fun mp i think. the more you play and learn the better you get and has a level up system too. unlocks more stuff over time.. sounds cool to me.. i dont have any1 to play with tho. and it is no normal servers to hunt for players etc.. of all the mp games i have- ut04 was the only 1 i cared to play- i miss it now.

and i read bio2 is short like 10 hours long- my guess is they just ran through it. bioshock was said short but i got 281 videos out of my play through- so its not so short its more how you play. i try and search everything and find all secretes and try and show off the world and game play in videos or screen shots.. some games rpg/fps combo types- my first game might be fast because i might just do the main quests my first game to get an idea of how to play or what to avoid in my next play through so it will not go so fast and i can do side missions etc. and not worry i might do a main quest by accident. do main quests as needed to advance the game etc..

i think bioshock was a great game- but i got it way late and had been patched a few times- it ran like a top for me on steam- our bud here sent me bioshock on steam- we do not have to drop his name.. bioshock is such a great name- its a shame it bio2 could not be perfect out of the gate.. for the most part we should expect buggy crap for pc games. it sucks really..

ya i will get borderlands someday-

see ya.. :D :9:

nice screens muff1n

glad you are having fun. bioshock 2 will be the next game i get- but it will be months and months before i can save 50 bucks to buy it.. but maybe it will have more patches by then maybe cost a lil less too..

i was saving my money for bio2 but stalker cop is only 40 bucks. and i was dying to have a new game now so i got cop yesterday.. but bio2 is maybe the game i wanted most-- after thinking about it and said reviews said cop ran so good etc [lies] i got it- but mostly because- i know cop will take longer to learn and play or record. and in general- as with stalker soc- i will most likely play it more than all my other games-

i played soc some 44x. i played bioshock some 14 or so times. stalker games massive worlds and rpg elements and gun play- keeps me into it longer.. but i love bioshock- its nothing like it or its story and lovely world. so. i will get bio2 as soon as i can.. and its mp looks like tons of fun too. so

have fun- see ya :D :9:
