I got BioShock (PC) today. Unfortunately, by the time I installed it and started a new game, I realized that my computer's graphic card isn't good enough to support the game, even with the lowest settings. I was so deceived...So now I'm stuck with a game-I wanted-for-so-long that doesn't work on my #!%%@* computer. The only way out of this dead end is to get myself a new graphic card. The game alone costed me $49 (EBgames credits) and I don't want to spend (at least) $150 more for it. A $200 game? I don't know if BioShock is worth that much...

I won't sell the game. That would be stupid. Fortunately, I found a good deal on futureshop.ca. With this one, I should be able to run BioShock smoothly. I believe that $130 is a fair price for a card like this. I'm probably going to pay half the price and my father the other half. It's his computer after all .

I was (and I'm still) really deceived...I hope this feeling won't last long...

Funny fact: The character you control in the game has my name: Jack (well, Jack is the abreviation of Jacob )

That's happened to me before with COD2. My pc couldn't run it, and I still have that game but unable to play it.....

This is why you should read the system specs listed on the box, and know what your specs are.

I read them of course. The minimum is 100 something and the maximum is 200 something. My graphic card is a 256 so I assumed I would hvae been able to run the game on medium settings...
