Nah they don't. It'll only be $11 more at JB, either spend $78 of your dollars or an extra $11 with vouchers. If you're wanting to get rid of the vouchers the $11 won't really be missed, will it?

i don't really care about the $11...just wondered if they price matched since i could buy a dvd or something with the remaining (or at least put what's left towards one)...better me have more than them!
pity that seems to not be the case

HAHA true. I bought 2 DVD's last week for less than $10.

You could try it on with the head of the games section at JB and just ask if they'll match K-Mart's price or you'll go there. Worked for these people at GAME when I was in their store the other day. Might work at JB?

Looks like the movie edition is rapidly descending into another Halo movie fiasco.

Director may have quit, budgetary concerns etc.

Have had MASSIVE problems with the GFWL (logging in freezes and crashes the game, not logging in and i cant save)

After 4 hours of doing everything possible, im not sure if it was worth it

Checking out the 2k Forums at least im not the only one with problems, quite a few people have had issues

 

[Forrest Gimp]

I'm downloading now. I hope I don't have any of these issue. Multiplayer seems a bust already with no dedi's and no host migration.

 

[Ed_Gein]

Loving th SP story so far! Quite interesting and those big sisters are tough bastards.

Overall I reckon if you've played the first one the 2nd isn't too dissimilar apart from a few tweaks here and there. Like the hacking etc...

Haven't touched MP yet.what are everyones thoughts on it? Yay or nay?

Definite yay so far, but only just started.

Anyone up for multiplayer tonight? (ps3)

 

[VicO]

I've played about three or four hours so far and early impressions are that it's Bioshock 1.5 as opposed to Bioshock 2, in that it's just more of the same and it hasn't gone to the next level. That's not to say I don't love it, I did from the very first second. But it seems like they haven't made that leap like Uncharted 2 made from Uncharted 1. It's the same sort of harvesting choices, the same tape ideologies, the same plasmids it even the graphics look exactly the same.

So is it a fantastic game? Yes. Is it living up to heightened expectations so far? Not yet.

 

[Upgrayedd]

So im near the end of the game

As the poster above said, Bioshock 1.5, they've improved a lot of things, but it just feels like the same game which has been slightly modified, Im betting that a huge chunk of development went into multiplayer

 

[Viney]

The MP was developed by a separate team, so I doubt it.

I just think when people play a sequel / series that often there won't be a massive depart as they need to keep telling the story.

It seems people can't be pleased these days.

It's too similar - it's v1.5, it's too different, the devs moved too far away from the core of the game.

No pleasing people it seems.

Look at Dead Space 2, Visceral come out and say they will add some more action orientated sequences into the game - people complain they're changing the essence of the game.

If they didn't, people would complain it was Dead Space 1.5

 

[VicO]

Those are the two extremes and it's about finding a balance. On the one hand you want to build on everything you've done and take things to the next level, on the other hand you want to keep the things that made the first so good. It can be done, but IMO, Bioshock 2 didn't find that balance (but as I said, still fantastic and only 1/4 of the way through).

 

[Equus]

bought mine from Zavvi, hopefully it comes before uni start.

Keep crapping my pants at the sound of my own footsteps. Such a scary game and so much fun exploring the areas. They get the horror elements so spot on, the quietness, the footsteps in the distance, the shadows...
