It was $9.99 at TRU and Gamestop. Don't know if it still is. Either way I highly recommend it for $10. A heck of a steal to be honest.
 
Thinking of getting the 360 version at Amazon. Do I need to have played through the first one to know what's going on in this one?

they're absolutely unrelated. However I would recommend the 1st one over the 2nd because it's much better. Better story, interesting characters, more focused, overall a better game.

Thanks. Wasn't a big fan of the first one because I kept getting the hell lost. Think I'll pass on this one.
 
Everyone stay away from the PC version, read the Amazon reviews...apparently you need a windows live account to play, and if you want to save your game, you need to be logged in (aka no offline mode)

eww that's nasty. I'm so sick of games being restricted like that.

The maps in multiplayer are pretty much taken from the single player levels of the first game. From time to time there's a couple of spoilers about the first game's storyline displayed on the load screens.

I'm actually surprised at how much I'm enjoying the multiplayer. They've got a couple of interesting ideas for deathmatch such as adding the big daddy suit to mix and the risk of leaving yourself vulnerable while you hack/research to power-up your character mid-match. Some of the perk abilities have secondary effects that can be used to counter your opponents' abilities. It's no COD by a long shot, but it's fun.
 
Hey guys, where do you see your tracking number for an order? I'm looking all over the place and I can't find it. They say that you get an email with the number, but I haven't seen it (it has been a week since I purchased the game from there)

Oh noes! I have to be online to save my game? My gaming is ruined.

Let me guess, you play the game on a console right :)
 
I was on the fence about this one, but I'm not going to do better then 10. Especially when Infinite Arrives. Picking this up at Gamestop tomorrow........ err TODAY!

Despite not being into bioshock much have to admit infinite looks fantastic, plus it has vita compatibility. I also heard a ps vita exclusive bioshock is also being made
 
I've looked at all the vids on the XBL dashboard, and Infinite looks amazing. Definitely in my top list for 2012! I've played 1 and 2 of Bioshock, I liked them both equally.
 
[quote name='strait edge follower']Infinite is a prequal right ? If so, does anyone else think this floating city you are on will sink underwater and become the famous rapture in parts 1 and 2 ?[/QUOTE]

From what I've heard the "Bioshock" in the title is nothing more than a marketing strategy. Even though it's made by the same team as the original and shares similar mechanics, the storylines are completely separate.

After the lukewarm reception to the second one I don't know if that was a good idea

I had a friend who was having problems crashing and getting his saved games deleted. So yeah no clue if they patched it but beware.
 
That's a great price. I liked the first one better personally, the story and characters were better overall. But the second one definitely improved on the gameplay, and I hear Minerva's Den is an even bigger improvement. I thoroughly enjoyed both games.
 
Tempting, but I still haven't ever finished the first bioshock. I suppose since it didn't sell that well a future version which has all the DLC included is not very likely?
 
Chances of that are none and none I think.

Bioshock 2 on PC also doesn't support gamepad natively, and thats the way the developer wanted it. Which I thought was wonky considering the first one on PC implemented the 360 controller beautifully, and yes I play a lot of my PC GFW/GFWL games from my couch. :)
