| Do you believe that they are obligated to invest in providing an enhanced gaming experience to an unusual, nonstandard configuration that probably constitutes less than 1% of their customer base and that the game is not advertised as supporting? No I don't think they are OBLIGATED. But I do think t... |

| and yet you still wont comment on why other major games do it right? what about Quake wars or HL2 id and Valve did it right and pretty much defined the FPS dont you think they would know this too? Probably because he has no way to put a spin on it (other than to say they are all wrong(-rediculous!)... |

| Maybe this has all got something to do with 'expectations'... I think that because all previous titles (-The Lost) from Irrational were PC only, (System Shock 2 most notably), we were all expecting first and foremost a PC game, and that's clearly not what BioShock is.... its an XBox 360 game. Now if... |

| GOOD NEWS! From http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/home.html And as for widescreen, we also want to say we completely understand a user's desire to augment their FOV. BioShock is a harrowing experience, but we don't want anyone to feel limited (or motion sick!). So we are in the process of working... |

I take what I said back. I definitely do have the DX9 bug. I just incinerated a splicer and the body looks like a big chocolate bar with no textures. Sigh.
nevermind dude, we're in the same bathysphere... :) |

| Interestingly, Bioshock has another issue - whether disc or Steam, it can only be activated twice. Seems even the Steam version has SecuROM protection build in. Man, do 2K Games not trust us, or what? (Google 'bioshock activation' for more links than I care to count...) What if you have to re-insta... |
