Anger has spilled over on the BioShock 2 forums after it emerged the DLC was just an unlock key for disc content.
The giveaway is that the file size downloaded is 24KB, too small to be anything other than an unlock key for disc content and almost certainly too small for the extra multiplayer content the DLC delivers.
BioShock is one of the most surprising games of this generation. First of all, it isn’t inspired by a real-life conflict, a film or another game series, but a moderately successful novel called Atlus Shrugged by Ayn Rand, which put forward a philosophy called Objectivism, or ‘rational selfishness’.
BioShock’s writer and Creative Director, Ken Levine, and his team are now working on BioShock Infinite, a departure from the dark, dystopian corridors of Rapture into the bright skies of Columbia, a floating city named after the female personification of the United States of America. The PS Blog recently had the chance to sit down with Ken to talk about the philosophies that underpinned the original BioShock and how, if at all, these are being applied to BioShock Infinite.
These days, truly great game idea are quite hard to come by. With all of the sequels, HD remakes, and general gaming bullshit that has come out lately, we really have to wade through these titles, and find the games that are actually good. After we cut through all the sludge and grime, we come upon games that have these really good ideas that we have been searching for all this time. The only problem is that when we find these games, they dont always live up to what they could have. There are three games in specific that fit the description of games that had great idea, but relatively bad execution.
A rather unique take on five games you may have missed when they were new. Well, they’re cheap now, and they’re still awesome
i hate it wen devs do that, ship the game with lock contents that require to be purchase to unlock
The worst is for moderators that actually try to legitimate such behavior with bland excuses.
See you next Tuesday
This is becoming an awful trend...
Death to DLC.
Then you should be given complete access to it. You paid for that disc and the case it came in when you purchased it.
If it's something you have to download via a service then you should pay for it.
It is b.s that they are charging you for stuff you already have in your hands. I always feel ripped off when this happens.
