nah, just save often, especially right before Big Daddy fights. The only ones that are difficult are in the first couple of sections before you build your power up.

Exactly.. Just save before a hard point and then reload if you die... Better anyways as you don't get half your med kits stripped.

Many of you have been asking me about the status of the BioShock PC Patch and Xbox 360 Title Update, and I have some good news for you.

In additon to these fixes, we will be releasing downloadable content free on both Xbox Live and for the PC, with the DLC bundled into the PC Patch.

What's that, $90?

I wish you could buy the case seperate. I'd easily pay $10 just for a steelbook case.

Nice, another reason to head back to Rapture :up:

CKMorpheus 12-01-07 05:16 PM

That is sleek. Is that embossed?

Raul3 12-01-07 11:30 PM

It looks really nice. It'd look good side to side with my Big Daddy figurine :D

Wondering when that BioShock patch and free content is coming your way? At the stroke of Midnight!


I’m proud to announce that the BioShock PC Patch and third BioShock 360 Title Update are available for download tonight at midnight, PST. These updates will not only fix some issues remaining with the game, but will also give both PC and 360 fans new plasmids and tonics, as well as another achievement for Xbox Rapturians.

And since you guys have been so patient waiting for this patch, we're giving you all the additional content completely free. Now you can adjust your FOV, rebind your keys, and walk through Rapture in addition to running. And if you really want to be hardcore, you can turn off Vita-Chambers for added difficulty.

Want to know everything that’s in the patch? Click the link for a full list of updates, fixes, and features for both the PC patch and the 360 Title Update.

Click here to see all the updates for the PC and 360!

Michael Corvin 12-04-07 07:22 AM

I figured that achievement popped up early on xbox.com. Glad I waited to play through again, which I will definitely be doing.

Those aren't exactly the most exciting plasmids. This update gets a big "meh" of indifference from me.

DRG 12-04-07 10:59 AM

So basically one new plasmid and three new tonics? It's cool they are doing this but I agree with slop101 that these are a bit disappointing. Sonic Boom just sounds like Telekinesis without the initial grab. But it's free so I guess I can't complain too much.

UncleGramps 12-04-07 11:15 AM

This will give me something new to look forward to when I eventually play through Bioshock again, after I clear out my backlog of unfinished games.

movieking 12-05-07 08:45 AM

A bit disappointing, but it's better than nothing.

DVDChris 12-05-07 01:00 PM

I also saw that this download fixes the widescreen resolution issues.

Does anyone know what the new plasmids will do to your game already in progress?

nickdawgy 12-05-07 01:06 PM

slop appears hard to please :lol:

A message pops up when you load a saved game, and you can pick up the plasmids for 1 ADAM each at the Gatherer's Garden.

Seeing as how it's free I don't see how anyone could complain. We already got a kick ass game, this only makes it more entertaining.

slop101 12-05-07 01:43 PM

Wasn't complaining - just sort of underwhelmed.

K&AJones 12-05-07 06:07 PM

It's still good to see others out there involved with this game. As far as I'm oncerned this is Game of the Year and yes I've played Halo 3 and COD4.

This game gets the Pixy Seal of Approval.

edstein 12-24-07 09:13 AM

I just finished it the other day. Very good game indeed. Did you harvest any of the girls? I took the simpathy route myself.
