Bioshock 2K Games 動作 9月10日

reading neogaf, i'm not surprised the d/load speeds are back to a crawl worldwide. the last stranglehold demo overloaded the servers for a couple of hours, this will be worse. LoL

if the game atmosphere is too scary to play, just use the custom BG soundtrack and play some happy songs and don't play in a darkened room

"not available in blah, blah region" is those XBLM border controls and IP checking. GeOW mappacks have the same problem. i wonder is this because they want to prevent those Germans from using a "fake" US/SGP account to download banned/restricted stuff

i think the same team that did the finished but unreleased game "The Lost" is also working on bioshock, correct?

maybe they can have the game hidden somewhere as an unlockable easter egg

hm, 3 days before halo3 launch?? designing chinese words for Asian covers take that long? but those chinese characters on the Asian Darkness quite nice

i LoLed at the "Black is Back' on those xbox asian sites.

so if the publisher - 2K games, implemented a region code or lock, they can release the game simultaneously worldwide without worrying about those parallel importers, eh? will GTAIV Asian be 1 month later too?

i know region code/lock can be beneficial as well, it means lower prices for countries with lower purchasing power but sometimes can also suck - (Asian versions of AC4, Trusty Bell comes to mind)

maybe asian gamers can email 2K games Asian office and ask about the region lock thing?

or MS lawyers can always threaten to sue P-A or YesAsia to stop exporting "cheap" asian version games to EU/ Australiasia/US poor lik-sang
