    in regards to the vita-chambers
    there's an audiolog at Fontain Fisheries that talks about how inaccurate the genetic reader for the bathyspheres is- anybody remotely related to Ryan would be allowed access.

    It was just a thought that I had, since they do pop back up, and vita chambers are not everywhere so it takes them a bit to "get back" to where they were. Its a way of explaining it, if anyone needed one, another reason for the delay could be the things are busy if you killed a bunch of the suckas.

    So....this game is amazingly legit, it's been a long time since I've seen atmosphere, story, and art codified into such a wonderful combination, but is anybody else having epic load times between levels? It takes my machine literally over a minute to load up a level and I'm not running no econo box, this is a 6000 AMD dual core with 2 gigs of ram, it is the steam version though.

    In reply to your question
    You have to save 3 little sisters to get that sucker, then at the next garden of eden station its in a teddy bear a little sister drops off for you. The first opportunity for this to happen is in the hatchery, careful though there is a fucking rocket launcher gun bot that is shooting at your ass until you deal with it though

    I don't find the time unreasonable but thats about what I run into, the game loads so not often it doesn't bother me in the slightest, as I recall hl2 originally had shit loading times and more often.

    You know, these guys need to make a spiritual successor to Deus Ex now that they've made one for System Shock. I would completely trust them to do the game justice.

    it was funny, did anyone feel the absent feeling of what it is to die in a video game and in bioshock still kind of have it linger there only it wasnt and you were suprised that you still existed but expected to be pulled out of that world and end up at a loading screen?

    ...what?



    :lol: Yeah I wasn't sure if I was just tired or...


    I meant like, let's see... When I was fighting the Big daddy for the first time I was sure I was gonna take it up the ass. So I saved. I used to save A LOT. Then I died and I realised, hey im still in the game. Wheres the loading screen?

    and I ran back and he was still weakened from my prior attacks and that's when It hit me. Holy shit, everything is as is. That there's no loading quicksave screen after I die and have to start from scratch. Soon it felt like a game of unreal tournament multi where I'd just run and gun and know I was going to die and just spawn out and run my ass back and finish the job.

    But sometimes the Sisters are gone by then. damn!

    kind of see what I mean?

    No no I want an actual successor to bioshock. Make it like the lost world bioshock "no no rapture was the showcase city full of crazy genetic freaks, this other underwater city is where we made all of them". I also demand a sassy african american daughter for the protagonist. You know for racial acceptance, Rapture lacks people who aren't lilly.

    Yes, Research just helps you do more damage / gain different upgrades and tips on different opponents. It can go up for a long time, I think.

    I'm sure if you scour the map more will be around or will have respawned. Also, taking multiple pictures of the same one counted for me.

    im not sure I can get back him, as you "jump down" to this area. There is only one locked bar-doors, which i guess open when I complete the task...

    What's that red bar under the pictures? Should it go left or right? Whats goodor whats bad? im sure the Spider splicers respawn.. They have too. I remember thinking, what if in that last fun battle I just killed the Spider splicer i was looking for? Sometimes its hard to focus on one with Leadheads wopping you with pistols

    OK, this activation shit has kept me from playing my $34.66 copy until I finish my upgrades. I just wanted to know: Is the 1p game just as abrupt as the demo as far as using your first plasmid?
    Do you just walk in, pick it up, and feel compelled to use it for no God-damned reason? Would YOU really just stick random shit in your veins, especially after observing a little of what has been going on around there? It would take a simple line from Atlus giving you reason for that and it would quit anoying me, so I assume that it happens in a different place in the retail game and that this line is given.

    I dunno... that just really bugged me. Even my brother and coworkers keep laughing about it. It really breaks the immersion because it's just not believable.
