I WAS about to play Bioshock 2, but it seems I can´t even save without using GWFL - so bye-bye Bioshock 2...

Urgh, looks like the only way around that is Steam

Sorry 'Rocu, 'tis a shame.


I think now's the perfect time for those of us who've played the game to have a proper chat about just how good it was

Chat away all you want. Just found a workaround for that little roadblock..


At first I thought I couldn´t save because I was in a tutorial, but I soon found out I couldn´t save at all and that GFWL was to blame. So before I uninstalled it and chalked it up as failure, I made one last search on how to work around it and it appears you can create an offline account with which you can play the game as usual and not having to deal with GFWL in any way.


So I chalked it up as success instead..

So, been playing awhile and making progress. Just got the research camera and I´m off to shoot ! a big, bad Fattie McFatfat.


Ugh. Why do they keep on with those cameras...

I JUST GOT TO PLAY AS A LITTLE SISTER!!


And now I can even summon my daughter!!

Sounds like you're having fun, mirocu. I never could get through the first Bioshock.

I just got my copy of The Last of Us for the PS4. If you haven't played it yet do so, you won't regret it.

Why?

I loved the first Bioshock and the second one is even better

There are a few reasons. First and foremost I’ve never been a big fan of first person shooters. I play The Elder Scrolls almost entirely in third person. The only FPS games I’ve liked have been the Half Life series and, strangely enough, Star Wars: Republic Commandos... in fact, those games are the only reason I even wanted to try Bioshock.

When Bioshock dropped in Aug. 07 I was still working my way through Shivering Isles and Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Then Half Life came back with the release of The Orange Box that Oct. Coupled with The Witcher (which my PC at the time could run) that took me into Nov. when Assassin’s Creed and the first Mass Effect came out (in retrospect, '07 was a great year for gamers). By the time I got around to Bioshock it was probably late summer ’08 and I just couldn’t get into it.

I´VE COMPLETED BIOSHOCK 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Oh dear god, was it good!! I mean, whatever exists beyond awesomeness square, that´s where this game is!! Last fight was ridiculous! They just kept on coming! I had Eleanor to help me but holy moly, it didn´t stop! It wasn´t until awhile I figured out I had to shoot the tanks in order to flood the area. I was so full of adrenaline so I didn´t quite get what Eleanor said to me I should do.

Brave, brave Eleanor! She helped me as much as she could, and she freed the Little Sisters from pediatrics and helped them escape Rapture. And oh friggin god, the ending...

Now, let me make one thing perfectly clear. I´m a man. A manly man. But Bioshock 1 and 2 endings both had me burst out in tears (manly)! I don´t do that, not even when Molle died did I cry, and I loved that cat to, well, death..

I did not harvest a single Little Sister in either game, and I didn´t kill Gracie in this one. Though I did put Stanley Poole to rest. It was actually what Eleanor said that helped me decide that..


BUT OH MY GOD, IT IS DONE!! BIOSHOCK 2 IS DONE!!!!!

Reading carefully between the lines here, mirocu, I get the impression that you enjoyed the game and its ending.

It really is wonderful that sometimes we can get so vested in our games, isn't it?

So that got through? I wasn´t sure I was clear enough...


You can say that again!

Great! Now I have to re-visit the Bioshocks! Glad you had fun 'Rocu, but please try to be a little more enthusiastic about it next time!

!

I know I can be a tad subtle sometimes...

Well, with Bioshock 2 said and done I´ve opened up yet another session of Star Wars: Rebellion. This time I´m the Alliance. I usually play as them since I don´t want to be evil, but seeing as you do the exact same thing anyway I played as the Empire last time. If nothing else I´m able to use the Star Destroyers and to see different cinematic ending.

I didn't realize Tullius had Star Destroyers?

Welcome to the side of Order! Last night I fired up Tie Fighter, and played a few of the early missions in the Dimok-Ripoblus campaign. Even after all these years, it is still a great game. Between the two of us, I am sure we can crush that pitiful band of Rebels.

I´m with the Rebels this time, remember? And I am closing in on Coruscant... Already I might add...


Have you ever played Empire at War, Rosa? It´s apparently the successor to Rebellion and I´m told it´s pretty good.

You rebel scum!

I never liked real time strategy games, so I didn't bother with Rebellion or Emp at War. If they were nice turn-based strategy games like X-Com or Wasteland 2, I would have been all over them.

ESO.

IM excited for the Tamriel unlimited thing

Sorry. I just didn´t get hooked by the Empire´s commercial...


Dude, you´re playing that!? What do you think of it?

So, did you enjoy this game? Don't hold anything back, you can tell us. Was it okay? Did you like it?
