alexp999 · May 28, 2009

Quite possibly one of the most anticipated games of 2009, BioShock 2 has finally been given a set date from publishers 2K Games. Set for a simultaneous release on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC on October 30th 2009 internationally, while North America will have to wait another few days for their release on the 3rd November.

I quite enjoyed the first one. It gave the 8800GS I used to own a workout.

Triprift · May 28, 2009

No date for an Aussie release yet and i menchined this earlier in a Bioshock 2 gameplay thread oh well good to see the news crew giving it its own thread.

alexp999 · May 28, 2009

It says an international release of October 30th, so one would assume that means everywhere.

Except US for some reason :confused:

TheMailMan78 · May 28, 2009

What I dont get credit for this news? What the hell?!

I posted this with a source yesterday. This is the second time you guys took a scoop from me.

Its not that man. I just dont think its right for someone to come into someone else's thread and say "Don't read this one on the subject. Read mine" and not give any credit to the original thread/poster. In fact it could be considered rude.

I give credit where its due, but I found it myself, came across your thread after I posted it, was looking to post in the "9 min Bioshock" thread.

If you have a good story, send it in, or PM a news mod. I'll always reply

Every time I do you guys post the story and never give any credit. To hell with this. I ain't posting anymore gaming news or screens.

Triprift · May 28, 2009

Are you referring to me or someone else mailman? im just happy this news is out so lots of us here can rejoice in more Bioshock goodness in the not so distant future.

alexp999 · May 28, 2009

I always give credit. But TBH the news inbox is flooded with SPAM.

Next time PM me!!

Lol, no need to get like that.

Its the same as I always say, leave news posting to news posters. No point having two discussions over it. If you were the one who had told me of it I would have posted it. I found it myself on Fudzilla.

Stop threatening to stop posting news mailman! You've made several threads with a bunch of info I'd never have found otherwise.

Sorry Pyro. You heard the man. Leave the news to the "news posters".

Triprift · May 28, 2009

How about we all have a nice warm cup of tea and prepare ourselves for that glorious moment when we can play as big daddy oh yeah.

crazy pyro · May 28, 2009

I refuse to drink tea... I need to start playing the first one again since I literally only played it for half an hour or so...

Triprift · May 28, 2009

Half an hour no wai :eek:

slap: yes you need to play and finish it i tell you its awesome. :toast:

crazy pyro · May 28, 2009

Revision and mountains of work for exams set in after I reinstalled windows (I hate upgrade editions, particularly when the XP disk doesn't install XP properly).

well theres a news email addy you're supposed to email news to, or PM a news poster in order to get the credit. if they post one without checking every related thread in the forum, they're gunna miss you - and a mod (not a newsposter) later on will lock/redirect your thread - if i redirect a thread, i cant edit the original post since i'm not a news poster so you wont get credit.

I would make some tea but someone might take credit for it.

I stopped doing that long ago because several stories I found were posted with no credit to me. Now Alex comes along and says "Don't look at his. Look at mine" and doesn't even have the decency to mention my thread a day earlier.

I just spit some coffee when I read that :roll:
