Forums - Microsoft - Bioshock is Killing Computers!

Final-Fan on 22 August 2007

http://kotaku.com/gaming/some-dude-says/bioshock-killed-my-computer-292046.php Quote: "THE GAME WAS SO FACE MELTINGLY AWESOME IT BLEW UP MY COMPUTER." With explosions and everything. THE BAD NEWS: According to one Kotaku commenter (I have not confirmed) quite a few people have had this happen to them. THE GOOD NEWS: "Holy Fucking Shit, that is the greatest effect I've ever seen. They should have given this game an 11." Bioshock now gets 11/10 for most realistic explosion effects ever! Anyway, with 360s already frying themselves, can we really expect this not to happen on consoles as well? My conclusion: TOTALLY WORTH IT!

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

If PC gamers get now a ring of death on their PC's I will eat my socks :s.

wierd enough my 360 froze several times yesterday, then gave me the dreaded rings. Gotta send it back so i dont get to play Bioshock! It's a shame.

At least Warhawk, and Corruption will keep me entertain till I get to complete the game.

Lol.

Bad news for PC version: You can install it ONLY twice. Ever.

Actually you can install it as much as you want as long as you uninstall the old copies. And they will be lenient about even that. This is just antipiracy/antiexploitation, and they will be accomodating to anyone who calls up having used up their installs. The above paragraph is all paraphrased from a company rep, so take it as you like.

That's what happens when you use cheapo 10 bucks PSU. Heh.

If you were going to torrent BIOSHOCK then I have no pity for you.

You can uninstall and reinstall the game infinite times. You can't just delete the files though, that's bad apparently.

They've specifically stated you're allowed to have Bioshock on up to 2 different PCs.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

well i knew alot of pcs would have trouble with this game, it is breathtaking.

Thankfully ive had zilch problems with my xbox so far, not even LAG....im so happy!



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B   

Proud supporter of all 3 console companys

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp              

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.
