I'm looking forward to playing this one as well, but I'm still trying to finish a couple of games myself which is why I haven't picked it up. Thanks for the heads up AB. I'll be sure to get it soon.

I still need to finish the first one :) .

I don't think this game is DX11

But anyway I think the game is well amazing.... I really loved the first.

I only have one complaint and I know people are going to disagree but just hear me out.

**** did they get rid of gamepad support. I know I know I always use KB/M on FPS but Bioshock to me always seemed more suited for gamepad. And I wanted to be able to play this on my HTPC while laying in bed. My gf loves Bioshock and this is one of those games we play together. She does not like KB/M so well that is not going to happen. They had support in the first one and it was implemented perfect.

There is a thread here @ 2K asking for support. This is not about KB/M vs Gamepad it is for people that are more comfortable with gamepad and I don't feel they should be left out.

Anyone that has a problem with you or anyone else liking to play a game on the PC with anything they do not like is their problem....

I do prefer my gaming Merc keyboard, but I helped with the petition anyway. Just seems silly to me for something so trivial to not be supported... Whats next? No mouse support??

Wait, its dx11??

I'm literally going to game stop now!

I'm wondering if Bioshock 2 has 2 endings depending on wether you rescue or harvest the little sisters (It was like this in the first one). I'm about half done with the game on rescuing them and I do plan to do a second run through later to harvest them just to see what happens.

That is still a rumor.... I have looked in a lot of places to find the official answer with no luck. Even their own site =[... But if not, they did a better job with the water this time around.... Spent another few hours and killed my second Big Sister... Lots of fun..... Definitely a game that will be played more than once by me...

Sounds good, I probably won't get it right away though.  I never really "got" the first one....I've had it for over a year and tried playing it more than a few times.  I just couldn't get into it really.   I'll have to give the original one more shot and see what I think, then maybe look at the 2nd one.

I was this way too! I think I owned it for about a year before I was board one day and finally just sat down and played it. Once I did I realized my issue before was the new way they wanted us to play the game, and all the options you have to decide on as you go. At the time I was just wanting a gun and run type play. But once I got into it, it was fun learning about all the "Unknown" stashis and such along the way, and like most other games, what helps you kill the sicko's changes.

Once I "Got it" I played it about 4x's now and enjoy it every time. I think the way to say it for me.... There are games that single player is fun but Multi is not. And visa versa. For me both releases are a great single player game...

No idea man sorry... I am running mine on Steam. The only annoying part for me has being forced to log into Windows live as well just to play. I hate Windows live Hate hate hate...

Well I plan to get it through Steam anyway which should be all the DRM these developers need, but you know how it goes.  I could deal with FC2 securom so I can handle this as long as it's not a more intrusive version.
 
I can't imagine what purpose Live would serve.  Do you mean you have to log into Live via the game interface, or through the Steam interface, or etc?  I use a Live account for Bing cashback so I can't say I hate it, but still seems pointless.

When it goes through Live, it logs achievements and uses the built-in P2P matchmaking system.  You can also join matches with your friends.  I like it and the DRM never bothers me.  In fact, DRM has never bothered me.

I am about 9 hours into it on medium level... But I search out all the ammo and recordings.... Love it so far.... I think I am at the last level.. Killed the jerk that created Big Brother last night =]...

doesnt have dx11 guys
its uses ur3 engine
the graphics arent great as before but they added more effects
just like the reviews sais
not as great as the first but still a great game

Any word on the FOV patch?

there is a patch for bioshock2,however not an official release by 2kgames that will help.
