Bioshock 2 Peeves
Complete utter bullshit. From the small bit of actually playing the game, I enjoyed being a Big Daddy and drilling Splicers. It was kind of amusing in a gruesome way.
Anyways, I ran into a couple of peeves as I was trying to launch the game. First it asked me to enter a serial, which made me go what the fuck. I pre-ordered this game off Steam and I didn’t need to validate with the original Bioshock. Luckily with a help of Google, I found a post on the 2K forums. To find your serial you need to right-click Bioshock 2 in My Games in Steam and select view game CD key. That will prompt you a window with the key you need to authenticate. I’m not sure if all games you buy off Steam does this but quite frankly its a bit annoying due to the lack of directions. I just don’t know because all the games I own are Valve games. :T
My second peeve comes from all the original keys being changed from the first one. May be I was just peeved because I just finished the first one last night and the key bindings are still fresh in my mind. Whatever. I was quite happy with the previous settings along with my modifications.
Third peeve came from it asking me to make a gamer LIVE tag when I launched the game. It wouldn’t let me play otherwise. Apparently, I couldn’t use my many Windows Live accounts and had to make a new one. I managed to ignore it all and start my game. I watched the intro and walked around a bit. I realized when I wanted to quick save I couldn’t because I didn’t log into my gamer LIVE account. Le fucked? Thank goodness I didn’t go too far.
I have a fatty flash drive stick with me here so I’ll be copying the files for me to use at home. Yes, its going to be an unproductive evening for me and possibly nightmares.
