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.

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
