Bioshock/Crysis

Hey noobs

I got those 2 games for christmas and wondered if anybody else here plays BioShock or Crysis..

I have to say both geams are freaking nice!!

My laptop would melt if I tried to play Crysis.

played bioshock, it's a fair shooter... but the story was boring to me, the whole steampunk stuff was guetting stale at the end...

my comp can't play crysis....

from what i've heard from a friend who has bioshock on 360, its difficult if you want to solve it 100% (gamerscore points).

btw, does crysis have an editor? crysis would be nice to play online - imo the best shooter these days.

It would be awsome to see your computer try to run that! xD

but would be worth a try, wouldn't it? +bucktooth lol, even the diskspace wouldn't be enough i guess... ^^

but seriously, i'm always looking for games that i can do some modding for in future...

Crysis needs 12GB °_°

I hope it's on 2 DVD.... cuz i've seen what a game on 1 DVD that is 10 gigs can take to install... over an hour to install Gears Of War... that's way too much!

A blueray dvd is about 45 gigs for 1 & 1/2 hours of video + sound

Yep. it does have one. Very good one also, but hard to handle imo.

I played it a little and i must say it's great, also looks astonishing at max details
But I wonder how Far Cry 2 is gonna be. I've high expectations of it...

Did anyone say Garrys mod?

i fully agree. i once had to reinstall STEAM, and the updates only for CSS needed more than only one hour... steam sucks on this point. and this will be a problem with all future games...

"A blueray dvd is about 45 gigs for 1 & 1/2 hours of video + sound"

that short? a 50GB blueray double layer disk should be able to store about 3 hours of high def video... or at least that's what i thought...

Did anyone say Garrys mod?

that's now a little confusing... what do you mean, evil?


@s3rius: that's true, Far Cry 2 looks promising. although i think it could only become better - i didn't like the first part very much...

btw, how's majorca, eh romnia?

SORRY from Lisianthus (evil) I accidently edited yours instead of mine =/ Really sorry.

GRRRRRR

I think its better than downloading from a mirror on the net because you cannot pause/resume downloads + steam has good speed too.

i usually don't get more than 97 KB/sec - and that's maximum already. that's not even half the possible downstream i could get...

installing, decrypting and updating needed 1 ³/₄ h last time...

btw, ye, garry's mod is a wonderful base for modding, but i don't know... imo it seems to be overused...

EDIT: hah, evil, that you accidently edited misho's post, makes me consider to create a "S.T.A.R.S. Casualty Badge" for our upcoming awards-system.

I always get my full downstream on 256kb/s
Teamkiller award >_>
TURN OFF LATEST TOPIC SCROLLING!!! its annoying!

Well, Crysis is on one DvD...but i just needed like 10-20 min...doesn't remember exactly.

heh, some negative awards sound funny! i'll think about some more. probably one for writing in... caps... lol!

btw, scrolling fixed, it was required to enable scrolling so that i could edit the size of that module for testing something out... =]

I love the 'fire-system' in FC2 - burning entire areas with a flamethrower ....

Romania is friggin cold.. I feared not to hitch my flight, because the snow was knee deep ò.Ó Now, that I'm back Germany doesn't seem to be so cold after all

I was able to seize a computer during my stay for occasional editing... installed NewGen, threw in TESH, loaded DotD, did some shit, tried to save, didn't work since WC3 wasn't updated, noticed that their net connection was like max 10 kb/s thus no battle.net update, depression .. ^^

true, Dunia engine makes so much awesome effects possible. i personally find the storm and wind system extremely realistic! pure eye-candy!

btw, below some links for anyone that has not seen this demo video yet:

Actualy I think crysis seem to suck, but the editor seems to be awesome.

can't say much about gameplay of course, but the story of crysis is just awesome.

Gameplay is very well done. The Nanosuit offers a lot action and new tactical elements, very good scripted events and the alien structures are full of 'gimmicks'.

Though, I have the bad feeling, that the Xenomorphs are ruining the game. Already was like this in Far Cry 1. At least the flying fish-like aliens are kind of lame

you don't mean the hunter, dont you? (at least it doesnt look fish-like, more... cuttlefish-like... o.@)
