The only potential problem is that Bioshock uses a form of SecuROM that only allows the game to be installed twice. How they do this however is a fucking mystery to me but I fear it may not run on my computer because it seems to choke on any game using SecuROM.

Wow DRM lameness to the max. I'll check the demo out then I'll download the crack from demonoid. SecuROM my ass. This crap only hurts people who legitimately buy the stuff. People who want to pirate it will do so.
You can write that on the wall - a poorly-built lock only inconveniences honest people; it never hurts a thief.

Hahaha, nice.
Aye, SecuRom is an easy bypass, even without a typical crack.

Yeah, I know, I was being an asshole.
Hey, speaking of details...
You got a website or something, Xen. For the actual game, not the demo?
I am concidering "obtaining" the game, and if I do, I'd like some requirements and what not. Just hopefully if I did get it and meet the requirements, that my *still* fucked up video card doesn't give me issues.
As for "wanted" details, rather than burning dvd's I trick my computer into thinking I have a dvd in, and play ISO's with a tool called "DAEMON Tools." It has features for bypassing cd security games and shit too, such as SecuROM. Been using it for some time, it's sweet as shit. I've considered making a large topic on a related subject, that may be something to look forward to if I actually do it, I just don't feel like it right now.
Fuck you, I'm playing Morrowind again, leave me alone.
[snapback]37121[/snapback]
lol I know what Daemon tools is, I use it too it's indeed a sweet device, but I didn't know it can bypass secured dvd's...

HeLL may be getting a little ahead of himself.
From: How 2K Games And Bioshock Took Back The West (http://www.gamerswithjobs.com/node/34265)
The same pirates who unleashed Tiger Woods 2008 on the illegal torrent scene before the game hit shelves have failed to do the same for one of the strongest contenders for 2007 game of the year. After over a week to hammer away at the copy protection, the PC version of Bioshock has yet to be cracked. The reasons why have stirred up old controversies and revealed what may be the beginning of the end for casual online piracy.

lol thats funny. Have you ever met a reverse engineer? There's probably more people trying to crack these games than people who developed it, plus I can guarantee they are collectively smarter.
Until these games start checksuming every bit via a secure online server using quantum encryption you can be sure this will be cracked in due time.
Here's a funny quote from Demonoid about the game and waiting for the crack:
Posted by Ratio: 0.62Zashik 1 day ago [ Complain ] [ Send PM ]
I couldn't w8 any longer and bought it for my 360... Fuck that shit, they won:)
So with Biosock you can be sure it will get cracked aswell, give it a few weeks and crackers will find a workaround for sure.
[snapback]37152[/snapback]
By then I will have beaten the game and moved on to the next.

Baaaahahahahahaha, are they serious with that bull shit? I have it here, cracked. Did it myself and I suck with that kindof thing.
Piracy will ALWAYS exist, but people need to start buying what they like. I use it as a way to try a game before I dish out the dollars. Personaly, I like doing things this way as I dont like buying a game and finding out it wasnt worth a cent.
I dont really care on single player games anymore anyways.
I do dl a lot of them but i never play them more than a few hours, even after waiting for FFXII for so long here, when i got it i barely played it for a few hours...
[snapback]37158[/snapback]
huh? FF XII didn't come out for pc I mean FF VIII was the last single player final fantasy game for the PC.
Offcourse you have the MMORPG FF but that's FF IX...
And of course you didnt though that i have a ps2 and FFXII right? or ps2 games dont count as single player? cmon what do you have in your head? xD
I dont have any FF for pc, i have all of them besides FF X-2 for ps and ps2 (from FFVII), oh and i dont have FFXI either, i tried to buy it but since theres no digital download, i couldnt be arsed... since that game is nowhere to be found in the little shop here xD.
[snapback]37171[/snapback]
offcourse i tought of ps2 but i didn't know you could download ps2 games from the internet that would work...

lmao, no shit man, I agree. It doesn't take long for any software to be cracked if it's popular enough, and it doesn't usually take an expert to do it either, I've witnessed on several accounts people just learning how in the first place in a day or so, just to crack a game, and succeeding.
@420: How is an article about cracking BioShock the same as bypassing SecuRom? I don't recall mentioning anywhere anything about cracking BioShock, though if you'd asked, I'd probably tell you it's probably already been done, or if not, soon to be. The only thing I said that came close, was that "you could just download a crack." Which coincides with my previous statement.
@Chard: I wouldn't trust well the advertising of games nor the reviews/opinions of others (especially those whom you don't know) about games, a game magazine wouldn't cut it for me, I'd have to try it myself, like Xen said.
@Xen: True, it would be better in alot of ways if people just bought their shit... but everything is so over-fucking-priced these days...
@Mo: Aye, and access to cracks is also made pretty easy, especially by sites that say things like: "All cracks etc. provided are made solely for the purpose of creating back up versions of games you legally own." And make you agree to the shit and then let you in knowing damn well the majority of their visitors are there to pirate.
offcourse i tought of ps2 but i didn't know you could download ps2 games from the internet that would work...
Lmfao, seriously? Emulators and ISO's man... =D And... if by chance you can't burn your ISO's... with DAEMON Tools you're all set anyway, you don't need to burn em. =)

I actually dl ps2 games and play them on the ps2 :P the ps2 emulator sucks still
I use usbextreme, its just an HDD connected to ps2 via usb and you select the games you have on the hdd from a menu using the usbextreme DVD, theres also more ways.
and FFXII does work with that but actually i have it original.

Pretty cool, man.
Offcourse I know about emulators, but I never have succeded in finding a PS2 emulator and running a FF game on it if you know one you'll have my undying gratidude.
Can't help you there. I found a PS 1 and 2 emulator awhile back that was really good, but I didn't use it much because I was too lazy to download the huge ISO files for alot of the games. Look around more, you should be able to find one.
On topic: I really wanna play Bioshock but there's no way in hell a Sony-fanboy like me will buy a 360. Running it on my PC is out of the question too. Maybe one day I'll have to be a little more open when it comes to consoles.
Ha, I usually limit myself to just my comp. So you're less limited than I am in that respect. I have been considering getting BioShock recently, but I recently started playing Morrowind again, and I know if I went and got another game I'd neglect my Morrowind game. ( I tend to leave alot of unfinished games.) So I'll probably wait, but I'm not sure if I can run it or not yet either, we'll see.

Try PCSX2 a lot of ps2 games work on it if you have a good pc but dont expect high FPS though
I don't know if it's allowed on this site but if someone gives me permission maybe a mod or someone else dunno, I found a torrent, tested and working it's a crack for bioshock...
[snapback]37192[/snapback]
Dont think you can post that here, but anyways if anyone want to dl it im sure theyll find it anyways, or if some1 actually wants your torrent, you can always tell them through a PM.

Nope, it's not. Check the site rules it's in there, in case it's been so fucking long you've forgot them all. :lol: (Don't blame you at all. :lol: )
So anyway, you should send that to me... err... I mean you should definitely not send that to anyone and delete it from your own computer, cause ya'know... stuff like that is not morally... erm.. 'correct.' ...or something.
lol looks like I'm getting a copy of Bioshock for 50% off. A friend of mine bought it but is getting rid of it after she found out that AVG thinks it's a rootkit.
2K is shooting themselves in the foot with this crazy DRM bullshit. Didn't anyone learn from Sony...

What's really ironic is that one of the quotes during the load screen says something like:
"Just because they made the system unhackable doesn't mean we aren't going to hack it."
Sounds like the game writers know better than production and marketing. Well, what else is new I guess.

Thats what happens when Nvidia pays a little extra for special treatment.
but those big daddies are a pain in the ass sometimes
[snapback]37502[/snapback]
Electric buckshot was my favorite for dealing with the Big Daddies. Hit them with the Electrojolt to stun and hurt them then switch to electric buckshot or armor piercing rounds (machine gun or pistol). Make sure to shove the shotgun right into their face, up close headshots do huge damage.
Later in the game you'll be able to upgrade your weapons to do more damage.
Also, the research camera is really cool. The first level of research gives you a damage bonus against that particular enemy as well as a hint of what their weaknesses are. The second level of research gives you a unique gene tonic and the third and forth levels give you even bigger damage bonuses. By the end of the game I could take down a Big Daddy with 4 hits from the electric buckshot (fully upgraded shotgun) instead of like 10 hits.
Some other research camera tips:
1. Anything that is an "enemy" can be researched, including turrets, robots and cameras. Make sure to take a picture before hacking these because you can only research them when they are hostile.
2. You can take more than one pic of an enemy but multiple pics of the same enemy get you less research.
3. The "quality" of the picture matters, don't get to close or to far away, try and get the whole body within the outer targeting circle. The circle will spin when you have a high quality (A or B) picture. Pictures below C quality don't get developed.
4. Freeze enemies when they are attacking or jumping, then take a pic. This will allow you to get a high quality "action" shot which is worth more research.
5. Multiple enemies in a single shot get you big bonuses.
6. You can take pictures of dead enemies for a small amount of research.
