SystemShock
Does anyone remember Systemshock 1 & 2. First one came out like 1994 and the second a few years later. Finally, after having given up all hope for another like they promised years ago, I came across this...

Yes, I have System Shock2 I can find a demo of System Shock 1 but have lost the full copy. Then again I have a lot of FPS games.
It is one of these games you can play, leave for a while, come back to and still enjoy.
The "hacker" in game sound comes from System Shock 2

Bioshock is going to be a crazy game. System Shock 1 and 2 were a revolution in crossing the rpg element with the fps prespective. Imagine what they could do with today's graphic power,processing power and overall sound effects. God help our souls! _________________
Illyria says: I am not going to explain why?you are too stupid to get it.
And.... the day before release in the USA they finally put out the demo. All 1.8 Gbs. I'm downloading now but too much time at work and too little time to play. Dont know when I'll be able to give it a go. Someone let me know how it is plz Cant even get a good game of HL2DM in
OMG
Started downloading this early this morning with a respectable download speed of 200kb/s.
Now I am achieving the spectacular speed of 0.5kb/s with 1.5gb file left to go.
bb download
Set the download going about 0100hrs local time and it has just finished 0930.
Boy an I looking forward to this
File unzipped, run setup.exe and dear old AVG tell me that setup has a trojan
virus.
Demo is now also on STEAM. 1800 MB to download but worths every single bit. Played it last night. Short demo but the game is just beautiful. _________________
OMG thanks Plas. I thought this game was gonna be released later. My Bday is actually on the 26th of August
Zog, AVG flagged it as a virus???!!! LMAO. Maybe its all a scam and is really nothin but 1.8 Gbs of Viruses. lol Where did u dl it from?
BTW I tried it out the first few minutes and it ROX Very nicely done. Far cry from the first System Shock game graphically. It is a hardware hungry game though and many ppl will prolly have to lower the settings in the game to play it I built my current rig bout a year and a half a ago and it just squeeks by with all vid settings at highest.

BioShock game bundled with DRMalware

The PC demo of BioShock causes AVG to go nuts at it for containing trojans. It wouldn't install or load on a winXP partition until AVG antivirus was completely uninstalled. *Presumably* this is due to SecuROM, which also demands that other perfectly legit processes stopped.
The brings bad memories back when i wanted to run HL2 for the very first time... didn't want to start on a DVD reader, bought a DVD ROM just to circumvent that stupid DRM lock (which was removed later on). _________________

Sure is hardware hungry..running at 20fps when all settings are high, have just build my system a year back. (e6600 core duo@3ghz, gfx7950gx2, 2gb ram). _________________
On which kind of graphic card? nVidia? if yes: did u install those latest beta drivers recommended just for bioshock?
Just a standard ATI X1600 Pro HDMI with 256MB and the latest (Version 7. official Catalyst Drivers. Nothing special or BETA but no problems. _________________
Hi,
been to the pain clinic for physiotherepy today. After hobbling back and buying some gold fish food I met up with some guys I know who were in the alcohol awareness seminar at the health center.
(Visit the Wheel Bar, there is no such thing as no for an answer.)
I left before it got real serious and, on the way, dropped some change in the
bandit.
Well to cut a long story short, I now own a copy of BIOSHOCK two bottles of my favorite tipple and some munchies. (My PC meets the recommended spec apart from the DX10 )
Now the only thing wrong is I need to sleep for a while. But, when I wake up,
would please point me to a game with the nearest physiotheripist in it.

played the demo today, looks great so far. there will be a patch for widescreen: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/48621
but still having your installs limited to 5 is like you don´t really buy the game. bad securom. _________________
Eventually got it activated after having been initially told my serial no. was not in the data base. Uninstall and reload OMG patch 1 already.
Loaded and playing Graphics Stunning.
Did I dream it or was I actually playing
Surreal in the extreme apart from Diet giving me the instructions.
OMG I need Adam and Eve.
Not making sense
Try the game
