BioShock Message Board  

does anybody else care about bioshock? too me, its gonna be the best game EVER. but i dont know if i should buy it for pc or xbox 360. PLZ HELP ME DECIDE!! If you have any research that shows proof regarding to the pc version being better, plz give me a link!!

No true comparisons yet, but consider this:
Mods.

More likely to come out for the PC.

also consider this:

Controls.Nuff' said.
It also have been said by officials that the game will have a new and better HUD.Or so I have heard.

PC advantages :

1. Font scaling for text, on many 360 games the text is far to tiny to be able to see unless you own one of those fancy expensive tvs.

2. Trainers, so we can go crazy and do things we'd not normally be able to do.

3. Mods

4. Higher / lower Resolutions.

5. Save state, To save in places where you would not normally be able to.

6. No XBL Gold required to get access to add on material.

7. No XBL silver required or hot mail needed simply to play.

8. 2 OS developed installs , XP ( no xbl required) or Vista with XBL required for play.

Seems like the pc is the best choice whatsoever (: the game is schedueled to 21st of august right?

I'm gonna buy it for PC just because I enjoy First person shooters more on my omfgwtfbbq gaming rig

you don't have to have any XBL subscription to play bioshock on either the 360 or vista. BOTH Vista and XP require an internet connection to activate the game but once thats done you never need to go online for it again.

with that said the PC version will be better as long as your rig can handle it. the only advantage the 360 version has is achievements for LIVE. but there are rumors that a patch will come out for Vista owners with bioshock to enable achievements over LIVE for Windows.

if you have a decent rig then computers will always, ALWAYS be better than any console. take a look at what they had to do to balance the gameplay between xbox and pc users. they added aim assist to the xbox users, how lame.

as for the live for windows thing that is just a rip off. im sorry but paying 50 dollars a year for something that is free on most pc game servers is just ridiculous.

mods are probably the biggest reason for playing on pc, however i dont know how much it will apply to a game like bioshock with the possible exception of new textures down the road like they did with half life 2.
