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.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
