yeah, but that would involve getting a fat ass VGA cable (by fat I mean very long)

I've watched the intro and played enough to get my first plasmid in the game. So far, I LOVE IT! Meanwhile, I plan to complete the first Bioshock before I continue on.

They are both really great games!

Me too. Definitely feels like more of a survival game... or more aggravating, depending on how you look at it.

I'm having problems with the remote darts for the hacking gun. I'm pressing the button it says to push, but the needle doesn't stop. I thought the needle was supposed to stop when you push it, no?

Anyone else having an issue with this!?

Update:

I tried clicking my mouse instead of hitting the E or F button like the game told me to and it worked. Ok.... on with my game...

I really liked the atmosphere of the first but after a while the gameplay got a bit stale. I think making the enemies really really tough later on really spoiled the flow of things and removed the point of the powers.

But yes I enjoyed it. I'm not really bothered with the second though. It sounds like a run of the mill sequel where they just give you more of the same. I can wait until its cheap.

Just about done. I'd guess I have one to one and a half hours left of gameplay.

Running out of ammo and being used to use the spear gun can be so frustrating.

Bioshock 2 sucks. On my list for one of the worst games of the year already.

Just got to Dionisius Park.
Game is okay, however I feel its been reduced to the same basic strategy.
Everything normal, use .50 mg ammo; big humanoids, use anti person rounds; any big daddy/sister, use armor piercing rounds.
Mix in hitting CTRL for healthpacks every once in a while, and you have the game.

However it does do a VERY good job of creating an atmosphere if I do say so myself.

The atmosphere is the only thing they got right in either game.

I'm happy that the people seem less ugly in this one though.

Am I the only one that thinks these are really fucking underpowered .50 bullets? That stupid machine gun has to have both initial upgrades just to be useful at anything more than 5 ft away, it simply can't hit/dish out enough damage when it does hit otherwise. And maybe it's just me but ricochet seems to be a pretty useless upgrade to spend a station on. And since when do Thompsons use .50?

On the bright side I think this is first time I've ever seen a game allow you to exchange buckshot with metal slugs and MAN do those slugs drop people. Still could've been something that made more sense for the damage upgrade, sawing off the barrel is not going to not hinder range and isn't going increase damage at anything but really close range unless there's something I missed.

Get ME2 you'll be much happier. If you were considering to buy this game that is.

No HDMI on your lappy?

Since when was there a bio-dystopia built underwater to escape the cold war?

You can't get one of those cables that goes from VGA to Component?
