I told myself I was going to stay away from the overpowered Charge ability on my 1999 run but I could not help myself. With the upgrade that recharges your shield and gives you a second of immunity after using it...combined with the shirt Blood to salts that gives you salts when killing enemies...and the boots that give you life with you kill an enemy with melee..and currently using brittle skin that makes enemies take double damage for 5 seconds after landing a hit....melts anything on 1999. Later I will replace brittle skin with the item that uses your health when you are out of salts...it sounds scary, but it basically makes you invincible.

Yes! If you are going to put them in games then don't make extra obstacles for people to have to overcome to get them. Especially since there is no way to backtrack in Bioshock 2. If you miss certain things then you are out of luck unless you have a save back at a certain level.

More OP charge gameplay on 1999..notice my salts stay near full the whole time..



and one of the Lady Comstock fights that give some people trouble..

Platinum number 2 down for this set. I think I am going to step away for a game or two....I should step back to Bio 2 in a month or so.

Really a great set, and playing in 60fps was amazing. I did notice some slowdown on Infinite though...nothing bad, but it was there in hard fights.

OldBoy

Having a blast with 1. Those splicers come out of nowhere and freak me out. Really early on. Just killed Dr. Steinman I believe and got a key. Really fun and gives a great feeling of claustrophobia being underwater...

OldBoy

So early on in 1 with not so great weapons, any good way to kill the Big Daddies? I've just been unloading all my weapons and die, but eventually get em...

Solid Snake

Please tell me you're shooting them w/ a shotgun. Electrocute, they get shocked, rapid fire shotgun to the head. Hack a turret or sentry. Incinerate or electrocute him again. Set up traps.

Stalk the BDs. Know your environment. Etc. It's really not that hard.

For your shotgun get the electric shells.

go for the head.

I'm making my way through BS1 on the 360. I really like the game.

OldBoy

frankly, i have been using everything on them. shotty, machine with antipersonnel, armor piercing, everything and i always die at least twice. i guess there may be no fool proof way until i am more powered up, huh?

Michael Corvin

I can't wait to go back through this and use the trap bolts. I found those far too late into the game the first time through but were a blast.

Solid Snake

I like all 3. 2 is a nice extension. 1 though has the fucked up nature in it that 2 can't recreate and 3 didn't need that. 1 is so fucking crazy. I loved it all till the very very very last end. That was stupid and cheap. Loved the LS' ending it for me but still... the boss fight was just imaginatively weak.

OldBoy

So, is it better to save or harvest little sisters?

The Questyen

There is no better. It tells you what the difference is in the game and you choose the way that fits how you play the game.

OldBoy

Yeah, but it says that women will reward you if you save at another time. Is that big time Adam later bc I like harnessing Adam now to get more stuff to help me along...
And do u even have to kill Big Daddies to get through a level or is it all about Adam?

Solid Snake

Jesus. You really suck at games, don't you? Just fucking kill the little bitches to make it easier on yourself early on.

I've never killed one in saved game. I have killed them just to see wtf would go on. But i just reloaded the save before and just went about my way not killing them.

Michael Corvin

I saved 'em all. I couldn't bring myself to kill a little girl.

OldBoy

No, not really, but I do like to get the most enjoyment out of them so I ask to see what all the possibilities are...

Michael Corvin

Bioshock is an an experience like no other. It asks you to make emotional decisions that may or may not have repercussions down the line. Asking what the best thing to do is cheats you of that journey.

Just decide something and roll with it and see where that decision takes you.

The Questyen

I just googled "save little sisters or harvest them" and I got a far more detailed description then anyone on here is going to give you. I'm sure you are capable of doing this also.

DVD Josh

It is simple. Harvest the little girls get more ADAM. Rescue them and get less ADAM but Tennenbaum will give you rewards. The best of which is the Hypnotize Big Daddy plasmid. I saved just enough to get that plasmid and then harvested the rest. The rest of what Tennenbaum gives you is not that great IMHO.

Solid Snake

Seriously. Don't be a lazy fuck in wondering how to experience a game. Fucking experience it for yourself and go into the wonder of not knowing. Asking us all the time is fucking cheating in going through a game.

OldBoy

k. i think i will start over, now that i know the controls and getting better at defeating splicers and stuff. probably going to save sis and see what happens now. this game really is a great one...

OldBoy

I freaking love this first game. So good. Those splicers are so freaky. I'm like scared of them. I just put a rose in the pneumo for the Langford lady I believe to save the trees. How far into it am I?
Is part 2 more of the same? Does it expand universe of Rapture at all? Does it play like first and doesn't get overly complicated? Sometimes sequels do that...

slop101

Part 2 has a weaker story, but far better gameplay, IMO. The Minerva's Den DLC of the 2nd game is better at both!

OldBoy

Better gameplay huh? I think 1 plays very well and fast. Of course the 60 FPS helps, but I really like the controls, intuitive and very responsive.

So how far into the game am I with the scene I described (gave rose to Langford to save trees in farmers market looking for vector components?
