lol, it does last a bit longer than that if you don't just run through it

But it does give you a feel as to how good the full game will be

what did you use to record the game hypercam?

also that game rules not as scary as the trailers looked though but the full game may have a lot more and different creatures.

**SocialWarfare** · #7 22nd Aug 2007, 02:24 PM

I used Fraps, yeah I hope to get the game soon

Xactly if you are trying to avoid scary games Bioshock is probably one of the last games you should be playing.

It is recommended for 17+ and the whole style of the game is designed to make the player feel uncomfortable and jumpy.
This coupled with the blood,gore and little girls stabbing people with syringes should be enough make someone trying to avoid a scary look elsewhere.

yeah but im 14 wat ya gonna do it's a fun game and the best jumpy one at that also that girl is creepy not scary but creepy shes singing and stabbing that guy bit deranged.

I'm no gaming expert but the GFX card is probably what is holding you back mate, based on a process of elimination as all your other bits seem fine.

I have been playing this game nearly solidy since Thursday night... and sweet jeebus on a honey-coated kebab stick, I do believe I'm in love... Finally an FPS that incorporates all the things I like! Plus, the graphics are just... gorgeous.

Just one question, however. What's the maximum number of Big Daddies anyone has been unfortunate enough to meet at once? I've run around a corner, Igniting away merrily only to find what I thought to be a (relatively) harmless splicer was in fact 3 Daddies all escorting a single Little Sister! About 15 minutes of insanity ensued, but Teke did enable me to make a rather amusing pile of the bodies XD

thats a glitch in the game iv'e heard.

**necromancier** · #14 20th Sep 2007, 05:50 AM

downloaded the full game the other night, everything graphics slider on full.
looked pretty good and ran very smooth on my 8800, but the game is crap.

I'm going to buy it.
Looks like a good game.
