Widescreen
messed up ... on the 2K Forums has hundreds of posts about problems with
widescreen monitor support in BioShock impacting both PC and Xbox 360 owners. At
issue is how images are expanded and cropped to accommodate widescreen modes,
meaning widescreen users actually get less image than fullscreen users, a
situation bordering on irony. There is no good news from 2K or the studio
formerly known as Irrational on the forum, and our attempt to contact 2K about
this directly has met with no response so far.
Find me one PC game that didn't have some issues when launched
Yes yes, because obviously, all problems are alike. I mean, if your ammo drops by one for all weapons on level 9 when you jump off a toilet, do a triple summersault while firing stakes into the casino wall and land right on a big daddy's head, that's obviously EXACTLY the same as such a convoluted issue like
YOUR WIDESCREEN SUPPORT DOESN'T WORK.
So yes, it was tested. It was tested fabulously. So fabulously that nobody bothered to check it on a widescreen monitor.
But hey, it's just half the hand of your character model that you're missing, what's the biggy.
As for guys being able to take the day off ON LAUNCHDAY, the game industry is the only one that gets away with that bullshit. Name me ANY other fucking branch of anything that can launch a new product, and have NOBODY AVAILABLE TO TROUBLESHOOT THE INEVITABLE PROBLEMS.
Yes, games have bugs. "Widescreen support doesn't work" isn't a bug. It's either lazy ass design or just plain no testing.
(not bitching at you btw.)
