Well, I am playing through bioshock again, I have got to the point which i was at when i had it on the pc.

For some reason, this time round playing it on the 360 i am bloody loving it! Fantastic game, cant believe i just left this game on the pc lol

Anyways, possible spoiler warning!

I am at the lvl called Arcadia, collecting 3x 7 different ingredients for that scientist lady who got gassed.

My question is... how much longer have i got left of the game? I dont seem to have aquired that many slots for plasmids and all the modification things, i have 2 slots per modification thingies and 4 plasmid slots...

I am saving the wee girls (want 100 point achievement hehe) and it only works out to be 40 adam less every 3 girls but i get bonus items so it evens out.

have i got long enough left to fully upgrade stuff?

Oh, btw, never knew this when i was playing through on the pc, but the camera idea for research is bloody great lol, i am now running around with my camera mainly to take snaps before fighting.

edit: yes i am exploring everywhere i can, always got shock and inferno plasmids to get into certain areas.
 
I spent a lot of time on this on the 360 I think I got about 3months play out of it.
Ended up with 850 gamer points woo.

The camera thing was a nice touch, however I managed to get the points for research x thing for everything I can find but didnt get the fully research everything award :( The bonuses for the research are nice tho.

I know I missed 1 diary and couldnt for the life of me work out which one, and the other one I missed was the complete the game without using vitachambers.

HINT: At one point you have to build a picture by collecting photos for a specific person.
Do not kill him, let him live for an award later ;)

Also some of the plasmid skills once you get them allow you to access once inaccessible areas in maps such as the flames melting ice n stuff.
 
you are less than half way. a tip (which is a bit late now) do not waste Adam on Plasmid slots, max you need is 3 (Electric, Fire and Ice) there is one place that Enrage is useful but I just tend to swap Ice in a Gene Bank ;)

I got max gs in my first playthrough, so I just love running around for the hell of it now :)

FYI I got that by mainly using Wrench and Electro Bolt (with the grenade launcher and crossbow for Big D's). Wrench with Wrench Jockey 1 & 2 equipped is unstopable ;) (and mucho fun)
 
Right, I am currently taking those pictures, I wont kill him :) Thanks for the info.

As for my tactics, i have 4 plasmid slots, imo, all i need.

Flame, Electric, dummy (dummy is f'ing brilliant! So handy in sticky situations) and the 4th for random things that might be specific for something in that lvl.

Loving it so much, fantastic game, not a dull moment.

I really enjoyed it, wrench upgrades and invis never got boring lol
One which I thougth might be really usefull I never used was the security thing that made the chopper things attack whatever you atacked with it seen that used rather effectively against big daddies n the like.

Remember hack everythihg in sight xD

The crossbow trap bolts were great fun too
 
Oh, yes! It's been such a long time that I'd forgotten about those crossbow traps. They were the easiest way to take down the Big Daddies.

You can kill him and take his photo for the 'irony' achievement though :p

Best to hold off on killing him on the first play though because you can gain access to his apartment if he is still alive. There are goodies inside :p
 
What you could do...

Save while he's alive, go kill him and photo him then reload save where he's alive, that should give you the irony achievement and also the later part I think.
 
you dont have to do that save reload thing, you can just kill him later in the game and take his photo then :p
 
just started playing this. 2-3 hours in and im massively disapointed, why all the raving about this? ive never died so much in a game. at the moment i have no ammo and no health, cant find a vending machine :rolleyes: and the alarm keeps going off and theres a turret blasting the **** out of me. :rolleyes:

so im just in and out of the spawing machine. not enjoying it

huh? :eek: :confused:

You don't need amo! Use the wrench! (except on Big Daddies, although I have done that but died a few times lol)

You need to electro shock the turret, then hack it (or you could whack it with the wrench to destroy it) so it works for you.
If you are triggering an alarm, obviously there is a security camera nearby. again, shock it and hack it so its working for you. (There will also be a bot shut down panel near by to deactive the security bots).
as for not finding a vending machine, check your map, there is bound to be one close.

Oh another tip, if you use frost/ice instead of electro bolt on machines before hacking it slows the "liquid" down ;)

Oh last tip, if you want a squad of Security bots watching your back; trigger a security camera, run to the shut-down panel, when the bots get to you hit the shutdown, then hack the bots once they are deactivated :D

(Sorry I've just been playing and these tips came flooding back, oh the joy of me, a swarm of hacked security bots, a hacked rocket turret and an Enraged Nitro Splicer against a poor help less Rosie lmao)
 
Well, completed it over the weekend, FRIGGIN AWSOME!

Will be reverting back to different saves for random acheivments, such as the photo of that dude, the jackpot one (takes ages!)

As for the game, what an awsome twist and story! I was engulfed from start to finish.

Played it on hard and wouldnt have it any other way.

End boss isnt that hard though, first time i just ran around scouting out the place then died so i could start again, 2nd attempt, used 1 medkit and thats it lol, bit too easy for my liking.

Telekinesis + petrol barrels = dead boss :)

thanks for the tips:cool:

im getting into it a bit more now but im still dying a lot. particularly when taking on big daddies. ok they are meant to be hard:p

i hate not having ammo though its meant to be a fps game ffs, you need ammo! it plays more like a rpg having to scavenge around in boxes and bodies looking for ammo and health.:(
 
The first 2 lvl's are understandably tough at first due to you not having hardly anything to fight with, use your elements, get splicers caughtin puddles then lighting them, watch them cook :D

Or, if you got a single one at a distance shooting you, set him alight, watch him run for the nearest puddle, wait for him to dive in, lightning, dead :)

Or, just lightning and bash away with your wrench.

Your first 3-5 big daddies are near enough impossible (on hard), just shock them, run up and shot gun them in the face, dont bother with medkits, you will waste them.

explore everywhere, it pays.

Tip for the Jackpot (they are completly random) save game with a full wallet just before hitting the machine, if you run out of money (ie dont hit the Jackpot) just reload that save.

For anyone else struggling anywhere, go to http://nextgenwalkthroughs.com/BioShock for awesome walkthrough videos ;) (they are recorded from the PC but the Xbox360 (and I assume PS3) version is exactly the same)

tis my plan with the jackpot thing :)

as for the vid walkthrough, all versions are the same, but with a game like this when its built around exploration, the walkthroughs can miss a lot of stuff.
