    2K, please implement Windows live achievements.

    Games for Windows Live is now free for PC users. Also, it should be more affordable and easier for software houses to implement it in their games (Microsoft words). Bioshock was a top selling multi awarded game, so why abandoning it now? Wouldn't be possible to implement windows live achievements in a subsequent patch? This would be great to expand the interest in this game even further. There is no need to re-invent anything new. Just give us what XboX users have now
    Xbox has Live achievements, PS3 has trophies... Why not something for the PC version? Playing Bioshock while achieving gamerpoints would be fantastic!

    I'd like to listen something from 2K or the community about this possibility. According to me, it's a great way to revamp the interest in this game. There are many achievements ***** out there, so this move may give a sales boost too, potentially.

    Thumbs down

    Interesting... when people speaks about idiot things or open silly threads, all post comments. When someone does a proposal to improve a game, no one answer...

    2K didn't make windows.So they can't make Windows Live Achievements.Just making that easier ot figure out for those dullards out here. But 2K can make Bioshock exclusive achievements. But they won't do it just because 1 fan makes a thread asking for it. If you really want 2K to consider putting achievements into one of the new patches (if a new one ever comes out),then start a petition.

    I won't start a petition. I'm just asking. And I'm not the only "fan" who likes achievements on the PC platform. Sure.

    Sorry, but I think they are done with BioShock PC/360. They are moving along with BioShock PS3 and BioShock 2. I don't think they will step back and throw another feature into the first version.

    Never say never. After all, Bioshock 2 is not so imminent
    And adding Live achievements to Bioshock would be a great longevity addition to the game, I think.
    I would restart it from scratch

    Oh, and consider that many people will buy Bioshock 1 once Bioshock 2 has been released...

    If you feel so strongly about it then pm this to 2K Liz, you're speaking as if we can do this ourselves.

    Already did that.
    Surely we can do this ourself, but if we all like the idea, probably 2K will be more motivated to do that.

    You're not getting much support and I honestly could care less if they implemented those achievements.

    It is rather imminent. They hope to get it out in about under one year.

    I am just saying don't expect it. Not "never."

    He is right. People will eventually get it but not soon. 2k is focused on BS2 & 3 + Movie and BS for the PS3 right now. It will come but not for some while.

    I very strongly support you and wish you luck. But as I have seen before I doubt if 2k will support anything that costs more than five cents when it comes to anything doing with a pc. Good luck. Hope they prove me a liar..
