The Platform Discussion Thread

On which platform do you own/play Bioshock?

I'll start: PS3 & PC (though my computer is so old, It can barely play a flash game these days.)

I own it on PC and also borrowed and completed it on PS3, definitely preferred it on PC but the PS3 port was by no means terrible.

Got it on PC first, then got it on 360 once I got my 360.

I also have PS3, but I never got it on that one.

Not as good as PC, but yeah. Hacking could get a bit fiddly...

I bought and first played it on 360, and then I bought it on PS3 and re-played it. Going to be getting Bioshock 2 on my PS3. I really didn't feel a difference from playing on 360 and PS3.

I own it on the PC, as I'm mainly a PC gamer.

Played it on the PS3 and I have a copy of the PC version floating around my room somewhere.

I played it first on the PC. But I bought it on the PS3 when it came out. I actually like my PS3 one better. It has Survivor mode, New Game +, and challenge rooms. Plus my new PC doesn't play Bioshock, so I don't have a choice. >_>

I own it for PC. I run that baby on high and man, it's smooth. Was just actually playing it, to be honest.

How much extra stuff is there in the PS3 version? Worth picking up for a third of the original price?

I have the first one for 360 and will get the 2nd one for 360. If my PC was up to it I'd get it for PC instead.

The biggest differences are:
• Survivor mode
• New Game Plus mode which allows you to start a new game with all weapons, plasmids, etc. from the previously completed game (this mode will not allow for trophies, though)
• Challenge Rooms

Don't forget the Challenge Rooms and New Game Plus are DLC and you still have to pay for them. 10 $/€ I believe? It's worth it though, the challenge rooms are a lot of fun, and beautifully done. Especially the carnival/ferris wheel room looks amazing, imo. (a little taste of Ryan Amusements perhaps?)

I will get BioShock 2 for PS3, because it's my only option. My girlfriend has recently bought a very capable laptop, but she doesn't allow me to play games on it (yet ). Controls on the consoles are fine anyway. In my experience even more intuitive (after playing for a while it really feels like Jack's left hand is your left hand), but that's a matter of taste I guess.

D'oh you're right, that was DLC...

So yeah, Survivor Mode is the only difference out of the box. (Thanks @svenderson for the correction)
