**The Official BioShock Thread**

I dont understand why people are finding it hard to kill the BD's. Simple way is to shoot proximity mines AT the big daddy, not infront of him - they explode on impact! You can fire them so fast hes dead in a few seconds. If you run out of mines, grenades work exactly the same. If that fails fire a mine at a gas tank and telekinesis it into him :)

If that fails I would fire a couple of traps from the crossbow infront of him as that really hurts. Ive got the achieve for "dealing" with all the little sisters now :) And the one for saving every one. I thought the story sucked the first time I played it but when I played it the second time I understood it a lot better and Im using many different tactics now.
 
People need to remember that Xbow traps/Gren launchers aren't available early on upon starting the game.

Early on BD's can be rather hard as the player hasn't got the firearms/plasmids to handle one well enough. Hell I was res killed outside my Vita chamber about 20 times by the one in the Fishery level. Towards the end they were a walk in the park.
 
I'm finding BD's easy. There's always an obstacle around, just strafe round it, shoot when out of cover then go to the other side. They'll go one way then turn the other and hardly get much chance to injure you much.
 
im still a fan of the electric bucks on the big daddy as it freezes them in places for a bit :) just when you reload you need cover - easy!
 
***possible spoiler****









I have just beaten Cohen, but didn't realise that I had to go to his apartment bit before you kill him, so I will have to remember that for when I play it through next time.

No idea how long is left as I have tried to avoid all the spoilers in this thread.
 
Spoiler vvvv



What is in Sander's music box? It must be something good as I ran out of patience trying to kill him. He was tough!

Im loving the buffy connection as well, Juliet Landau (Drusilla) does the voice for the little sister and Armin Shimerman (Principal Snyder) does the voice for Andrew Ryan!

Thats cool, I never knew that! :)

I'm up to Neptunes Bounty so far and loving every minute. I was playing the game at 2am last night!

If I was a betting man I'd say that Atlas character has to be bad they always are in this type of game! Besides why is he the only sane one I've come across! lol.

I've been playing for about 3 hours or so (maybe more) and have just picked up and delivered a Camera after doing some Splicer research. How much of the game have I covered? Killed three Big daddys and rescued all little sisters on this level.

Exploding bucks are even better:p but yeh the electric bucks do help when reloading.

Currently at the bit where i have to get Sanders, funnily enough im getting a bit fed up of the game...just too repetitive for my liking. Definitely one that im going to finish then trade in...not worth keeping imho unless i decide to go through it again but this time save all the sisters rather than harvest them.
 
its as repetitive as you make it, theres so many gene tonics, ammo types, weapon types, plasmids. Try to change them fairly often and you'll find it less reptitive.

Make sure you point that thing at the little sisters aswell, every type of enemy can be researched

You can also do it multiple times, for less points ofcourse but its worth it for the less common enemies
 
One small warning for those who like those trip wire Xbow things. Don't use them on a path where the BigD walks or you're in trouble :D Last night I tried to get the $$$ gambling achievement. So there I am repeatedly pressing A whilst watching Stargate Atlantis on the other screen.

Suddenly the door opens and theres a rather furious Rosie lit up red. Given that I had little health it charged me before I could even switch to a firearm and I died. The stupid bugger had walked into my trip wires quite a distance outside and somehow found me :o
 
Is it worth saving or killing the sisters?

Killed one so far and saved one, you get so much more adam for killing, sorry harvesting, them.
 
if you wanted the achievment you'd have stuck with one way or the other for all little sisters through the game. seeing as you've now killed one i'd probably just kill the rest.

You dont get 100 gamer points at the end for rescuing them, and you don't get goodies from tenebaum.

You kind of can. Last night I was told that all you need to do is rescue 3 sisters for the goodies. So I rescue one more (had already rescued 2 at the start of the game) and was told by Tananamybum to head to the GG. I went there, and got me 200 Adam, Hypnotize BigD and some ammo. I'm not sure if that is what you normally get?
