This game is the truth!

If you enjoyed the original Bioshock, you'll LOVE this game.

It's the closest game to it I can think of. Hehe, bioshock with a pinch of assassins creed :D

I'm going through it on my 360 :shiftyninja: but have it already pre-purchased/loaded on steam.

Can't wait to play it on PC.

For those interested, You can get it at greenmangaming.com for $45 with code GMG25-EVFWS-4Z4ZN

Edit:

Wow, I'm just now seeing all the reviews. Superb all around!

I actually didn't like the Bioshock series.....99% of that is due to the whole horror aspect (the horror genre no matter the medium is not my cup of tea), but I absolutely love stealth based games though (entire splinter cell series and the many other stealth games I've forgotten the names of.....MGS when I had my old playstation) and the abilities just seem cool/fun.

That being said, from everything I've read about I'm definitely looking forward to tomorrow. They need to release more games in the action-adventure/stealth genre.

Thank you, just purchased. Was going to wait at $60 but at $45 I'm all in. Really hope I enjoy it, been looking forward to this one.

Does anyone know anything about the performace on PC?

It runs fine on my system. While that might not seem much help to you given my specs you'd be surprised, as poorly optimised games usually struggle at 2560x1600. I'm enjoying it so far but I've only played an hour so far (XCOM: Enemy Unknown released the same time so I'm torn between them both, as well as still playing Borderlands 2).

On Xbox 360, but got it, enjoying ot a lot. Taking the "do not kill anyone" for my first time through time for the challenge and achievements. Loving the various routes I keep finding and ways to dispose of bodies too, option wise. All this fun and I dont have a single power yet :D

Taking the "do not kill anyone" for my first time through time for the challenge and achievements.

I tried that approach, first takedown I didn't know I had to hold the button, so I grabbed the guy and let go. Panicked as he moved to attack me and hit the attack button (while still in sneak mode) and shoved my dagger through his neck.......I'm a horrible pacifist.

Might restart, there have been a few times I've mistakenly broken stealth and couldn't escape the guys without killing them (once I was passing overhead and though I was sneaking but wasn't, so they heard the noise and started throwing rocks at me).

I don't know if it's just me, but I can't seem to go one group of people without killing someone. I can't for the life of me get around stealthy like, it's rather annoying actually since I know the game rewards you for it in the ending (chaos level or something like that) and I assume the new game plus or whatever version they have of it.

I was never a fan of stealth games in general, so maybe that's why. My play style is obviously aggressive but, can I please go on a ledge and not spook hoodlums in the street!?! :D

I got through the first level without killing anyone, but it was kind of boring. I want to decapitate people! Be an angel of death! So I am right at the start of the second level and may just do a combo of stealth when I can and killing when I have to.

I kind of wish the FOV was bigger but I'm sure that there will be a tweak soon. I looked at the config files but I am afraid of breaking something.

This sorts the FOV

Hopefully in a patch they will make the value higher. As the fix isn't the most practical way as you have to press F4 everytime you load the game.

I know it's DX9, which is why I'm holding off on it.

I'll buy it eventually.

How can it be DX9 if it won't work under XP? Minimum requirements are Vista and 7, which leads me to believe it would have to be DX10, unless there's something I'm missing.

The fact that dx9 games play fine in Vista and 7?

If you can find any info saying otherwise anywhere on the internet, fantastic. I can't.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
