Well, It's certainly shaping up :laugh:

"Amazingly written and beautifully constructed, it's a complete emotional rollercoaster which we can't drawn any parallels with...You'll be playing this game for months to come, exchanging story elements to build up the bigger picture, and arguing about what it all means. [sept 2007, p.88]"

I love how the Metacritic users are rating a game that isn't even out yet. Only on the internet...

As for Bioshock, this is the game I've been waiting for all summer. I'll be taking the morning off work to pick this up :).

A would take a score from the XBOX magazine to a XBOX exclusive with a grain of salt, but considering that the game comes from the developers of System Shock chances are it's going to be great.

Actually it's a shame that it's an exclusive because it's pretty much the only "next gen" game I was looking forward to playing :no:

its on PC as well

Yeah, but being a XBOX exclusive on the consoles' side means it'll probably be "games for windows" stuff on the PC, which is close to saying "expect no ports. Ever".

On the other hand I don't think my box could handle it without an upgrade anyway... let's just say that it sucks when you're not a gamer but want to play one single game :argh:

Unsure about the PC version, apparantly it can only be played/installed with an internet connection, even though an internet connection isnt used at all for actually playing the game. I've also read you only get a finite number of activations :(

I'll wait for my review via either a demo or a rent, then I may consider buying it. As htwho said, it has a lot going for it but not too sure if it is my cup of tea.

If you liked the System Shock series you'll probably like this one aswell. All the RPG-ish upgrade system and stuff is basically the same, with a different environment.

If you didn't play SS... shame on you :devil:

    • Valve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop

      By branfont · Posted

      If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • Microsoft outs Windows 11 KB5095093 with long list of new features

      I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.

    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations

      By Abercrombe · Posted

      Call me when you can say, "Find all duplicate rows with duplicate email addresses and move the duplicate rows to a new sheet", and Copilot can execute that and not give you VBScript to write to do it. If anyone thinks AI isn't in its infancy and the bubble is about to burst, try to do anything meaningful in Excel with Copilot and you will realize AI hasn't even made it to kindergarten in most use cases yet.
