I've been playing through the first game on XB1.
I adore the series, I've played all three games several times over. And it's just as good as it was the first time, IMO. |

Just went live on the steam store. It's automatically in your library if you own the games already, if you don't see it just restart steam.

I DL'ed Bioshock last night and played the first section.
I hate to be harsh, but I had to go to youtube and look up footage of the original version as I honestly couldn't tell a difference. The game still looks and plays very dated, and very console-ified. Hell, you even still have to hack the INI file to enable a non standard resolution... and then everything is stretched. I wouldn't call this a "remastering"... more of a quick and dirty texture map upgrade with a smidgen of extra bubbles and barnacles to an old, outdated, clunky console port. |

I spent a little more time with it today on console and yes, I agree, it's not the prettiest thing to look at. For me personally, these games are a nostalgia trip. I enjoy them for that and I'm alright with them looking a little shoddy. |

I decided to play through in the correct order and just finished Infinite and the DLC. So far so good.

I bought the 3 pack with the DLC's for Infinite during the "summer sale" . I could barely play the first 2 games because of "stuttering" issues that looked like lag. Apparently theres some sort of hokey-pokey you do in the games files to make it tolerable, but I never messed around with it. I played through the First remaster last night, no stuttering, everything ran smooth, so I can't hate on it too bad. |

Not to give spoilers, but in a couple levels you'll have to collect Big Daddy Suit pieces. Either harvest or free the 3 little sisters on that level before you collect ANY of the suit pieces.. especially the helmet. The suit makes a shit load of noise, and I think I got motion sickness looking through that stupid helmet.

If they did indeed fix a problem you were having then that is great... because they didn't fix much else else. Every "problem" I had with the original PC version of Bioshock I have with the "remasted" version. Same problems with the same "fixes". And the game plays the same with the same clunky mouse acceleration and consolized oversized interface. But I "get it"... this was a free update, but it is a bare minimum update to get the old games to run on the new consoles with a teeny tiny dash of extra textures. I was expecting a much more thorough "remaster" than what they did. Sort of like the old Goldeneye vs the "remastered" version on Wii, or the old Halo and the "remastered" version for Xbox360. But that would have taken a shit ton more effort (and money) to make and I doubt they would have given it away for free to previous PC owners if that were the case. I liked the game when I first played it on Xbox a long time go... but the PC port is still wonky for me. But what can I say, I got what I paid for.

I guess I'm one of the rare few that enjoyed Bioshock on PC.
The graphics still hold up for the most part today, the gameplay was great, the story was immersive and the environment set the stage for several games to come. |

I started playing the first one back in the day but couldn't get into it. I think it was because I had so many multiplayer games going at the same time. I'm thinking about giving it a shot.

I've been seeing a LOT of complaints on the STEAM boards about issues that haven't been fixed. I guess I got lucky. 2K did post up that a patch is coming for many of issues, but then again, it's an old game that was basically doctored to run on a PC platform. I know for a fact there is a Windows 10 issue on Borderlands 2 that causes random fps drops, so maybe a complete overhaul would need to be done to fix some of the inherent issues. Infinite ran flawlessly. |

1 crashed on me about 30 minutes in. Beyond that it's been a stable experience. The game has not aged as gracefully as I expected.

I haven't tried 2 yet. |
