Is the demo released for the PS3 exactly identical to the begining of the game?

I thought it was really weird... I mean, imagine yourself, you just entered a unkown underwater city, you're absolutely alone and a crazy thing with hooks on the place of its hands tried to kill you... after just killing someone in front of you. After all that you just walk up to a vending machine, grab a seringe and inject yourself with a unkown susbtance?
*Kevin Pereira's" really?

Did they cut out something of the storyline in the demo or something? If that's all that there is to it then, at least to this part, the storytelling seems really poor... I just don't see reason enough to inject yourself with something you don't know about for no good reason.

But I'm also thinking, is there any chance my Ps3 hipcupped and skiped one of Atlas' lines? Maybe saying something about said seringe?

Nope, thats pretty much the beginning 15 minutes of the game.

I think the demo leaves out the little sister rape scene.

No, that was in the 360 version as well, and it was weird back then and it's weird now. The strangest thing is, I have a distinct memory of an early gameplay video where Atlas does instruct you to take the plasmid. Maybe I'm just crazy.

Hey! You! Yeah you! Zitosilva!

I don't know whether or not the PS3 demo is identical to the retail version, but the part you described is. In the full retail version you inject yourself with the Electro Shock plasmid with no prompting.

Honestly though, it is a video game set in an insane fantasy world - a degree of suspension of disbelief is implied.

BioShock certainly isn't short on quality storytelling.

Well, I planned on buying it anyways. I thought the demo was great (despite all the "ps1 pixels" discussion) and it looks beautiful.

Just thought it was a little weird considering how praised this was for its storytelling. But if it is really the only rough spot I can live with it.

Yeah, the introduction leaves a little questioning but I don't think you'll have a problem once you play through the rest of the game.

Also, avoid casually reading forum posts about the game. Spoilers will be flying everywhere and an unspoiled storyline is crucial when playing this shit.

I envy everyone who gets to play this game for the first time, one of my favorite games ever.

I think I'm going to start my third play-through today, why the hell not.

Bioshock Is A Brilliant Game, All Round Genious! Graphically Sweet! Plasmids Are Amazing, Detail Amazing, Storyline Is FANTASTIC, definately a must play game for any of the 3 platforms!

just gone thru it a second time and loved it Even more........you're in for a Ride Zitosilva!! ;)
