anyone else preorder bioshock 2? i got it for £20 off steam (me and some friends put some money into the four-pack version on steam) and we also get a free copy of the original. £20 for bioshock and bioshock 2 you cant say no unless you're dumb or a hobo

I did the same thing. my little brother orchestrated it. though they gave him only 2 copies of Bioshock 1, and 3 of Bioshock 2 for some reason. I havn't talked to him since yesterday though so its possible hat its been all sorted out.

we got all our bioshock 2 copies fine, but only 3 of the original bioshock. but this is steam, so they will undoubtedly work this all out

Yeah it is glitchy as hell and I hover around 20 fps a lot. Playable, but poor.

Also FUCK THE ESCORT MISSIONS, Seriously. Especially when they ask for you to do 1000 damage to other cars. I did this for the longest fucking time and it never went away, it doesn't tell you your progress and I have no idea how much '1000 points' of damage is.

LOL yeah this is definitely not a game to write home about. It has potential but boy did it ever miss the mark  :crazy:

I mentioned earlier that the damage thing became a counter after I tried running the game later. So I was able to beat the escort missions after taking a break. So it was just some random bug.

I sort of get were you are coming from he did say it in kind of a bizarre way.

it's a style of writing that fails to break the mould, despite any efforts to the contrary. definitely not an uncommon phenomenon on the internet, of course, but glaring when it appears none the less. i suppose that is what you get when you've got a generation of youngsters nourished on nothing but games journalism and energy drinks, but c'est la vie *shrugs*

You get a lot more halos at the end of the game than you do early on.  Also, you get a lot more (at least I think so) playing the easier modes than the harder ones, so if you were that desperate then you could just play some levels on easy. 

You actually get a ton more in the harder difficulties, but halos are almost entirely based off your combo score (combo/10 = halos received). each enemy drops a certain amount but it's a paltry amount compared to the halos. there's areas in the game where you can get 2+ million from a single fight, so if you combo well you can buy everything by like chapter 5 or 6.

Well, I would think that it must be because it's easier to pull the combos off in the easy modes then, because I noticed a HUGE difference between my easy and normal mode halos.

yeah, I got a ton more near the end of the game when I got the combos down. the claws make a world of difference in killing stuff.

Beat Saints Row 2, all story missions (including the secret one) and all the activities except one level 6 mayhem and levels 4, 5, and 6 of the activity where you throw people into object to protect a celeb.

commentary on the ending: (spoilers)

Edit: I am going to play and beat Red Faction: Guerrilla next before playing MW2 and prestegeing some more. In fact other than having a reason to take a break, I played Saint's Row 2 so I could beat real quick before I upgraded to Windows 7 as I heard that it has massive compatibility issues and Volition shows no signs that they are going to fix them. I heard Red Faction Guerrilla on PC has similar issues because its the same engine.

At the same time my little brother says Red Faction guerrilla is impossible to beat on PC on any OS because you apparently can't save for some reason. IDK if I believe this though. I'm sure that not EVERYONE can't save otherwise everyone would have returned the PC version. I'm sure it works on SOME system hopefully mine is one of them.

Your brother must have one fucked up computer, bro. Guerilla saves perfectly well on mine.

As I said, I would probably start playing Clear Sky, and I have but I am also considering playing Mass Effect instead. Before the sequel is released, at least.

eh, I tried Mass Effect and the gameplay felt incredibly bland to me. I guess I just had a "OH COOL ITS A SHOOTER RPG" mentality going into it and found it to be lackluster on the actual action of shooting. My friend Caleb said that is just because I was in the early levels where your cross hairs are huge making it so that you just point in the general direction of an enemy holding the left mouse button and wait for them to die rather than actually aim. add this with the slow nature of it and I couldn't keep my attention on the game.

That's just me though, I'll eventually give it another shot probably but there are so many other games I have not tried or that I know are good to bother with it now.

Your brother didn't read the part that said "You must be signed into Games For Windows LIVE to save your game." It says so as soon as you start a new game.
