Bioshock!

[Big Bottom]

Damn it! I'm actually pissed off that someone spoiled the ending for me, the game isn't as much fun now.

[Tale]

Edit: I hate Rosies.

Keep closing and opening the distance between you and Rosie and continuosly shoot with electric bucks. When you empty the clip, either try to keep the distance stunt on so that the golem can't decide whether to kick you or shoot you, or take cover. The stun from electricity gives you a bit of time to maneuver around.

 

You could also just use enrage or hypnotize.

Though if you have been harvesting Sisters, you won't see the latter one.

 

Or you could just use Electric Gel.

[Musopticon?]

I don't even know what that is yet.

[J.E. Sawyer]

I actually think the Bouncers are more difficult to deal with than the Rosies. Before I take on either, I make sure my submachinegun is loaded with armor-piercing rounds. I alternate between Electro Bolt and electric buck until I need to reload. At that point I usually need to use an EVE hypo, so instead I switch to the submachinegun and dump the drum into the big daddy.

[Tale]

I think Bounchers are easy because if you can get into an open space, you can just strafe their attacks.

[Krookie]

Who bloody cares, you flaming morons? It's the same freaking game.

 

Reeeeeeeelax.

Yeah, I killed the first one with a mere revolver. I did die 4 times before I caught on that the charge doesn't follow your movement, but is instead a straight line. AFter that it was easy sailing.

 

Also, the recoil decrease upgrade to the Suomi-konepistooli(ehehe) is awesome. Or rather, the weapon worthless without it, which brings me to my actual point.:Guns are completely useless on their own. I understand that the game is supposed to encourage using both forms of offense(plasmids and weapons) in combination since most of the former have some kind of debilitating effect like freeze or stun, but later splicers eat lead like mad. I feel like playing Unreal sometimes, in a bad way. That game was absolutely notorious for having castrated all weapons. That said, telekinesis(die droids, die!) and other crazily effective plasmids like upgraded electro shock do remedy that.

 

All things said, SS 2 wasn't a lot better, until you got the hang of different ammo types.

[Pidesco]

But don't you have a bucket load of ammo to spend, anyway?

I like it when splicers go down with just one bullet, makes it feel more like a film. It's also so much more satisfying :D

 

 

 

...do enemies require more damage to be done to them with the difficulty on hard?

I found the crossbow to be pretty damned effective even into the late game, scoring one hit kills and everything. But on the 360 version it doesn't seem like the autoaim feature works with it.

If you put on the physical plasmid that allows you to put out an electric discharge(I forget the name) after being hit, it helps alot. You get time to heal yourself and they are stunned momentarily.

[Kaftan Barlast]

I wacked a big daddy but the little girl disapeared into a hole and now she's gone. Do they come out or do i have to go find another couple?

[Krookie]

Another Big Daddy will come and get her out, just wait a bit.

[Kaftan Barlast]

Are you supposed to "collect" every little girl you come across, or can you ignore some of them and still get enough ADAM?

[Hurlshort]

I've been ignoring the ones that seem like respawns, but maybe that's bad.

[Zero]

Its alot easier if you collect either way.

 

160- per little girl if you harvest

 

80 adam- if you spare them. (I think its either 3 in a row or 4 in a row)

 

but you get a gift of 200 gift from T. later on. Doesn't even it out exactly.... but doing the right thing isn't as much as a screw-over as you may expect from a morally ambiguous game.

Check the pause/save/escape screen to see how many are on the level, they do not respawn. For every 3 you save, you get a gift. It includes 200 ADAM, plus two other miscellaneous goodies, including Hypnotize Big Daddy Plasmid once.

[Zero]

I haven't played through the evil way, do you have to get cursed at by the big T. if you do evil?

 

 

Edit: I can't bring myself to kill little girls, even indirectly, in a video game.

 

I'm too much of a wimp to find out for myself

 

or replace wimp with hyper-sensitive , depending on your macho meature and if you even measure it.

Twice, actually. There are at least 2 levels of Hypnotize Big Daddy, but they both take a full EVE hypo to use. The more powerful version lasts longer.

 

And if you kill the girls, Tenenbaum doesn't say anything.

[Tale]

I thought I got the second level of Hypnotize from taking PITCHAS!

[Big Bottom]

I got a security Plasmid with my second gift. And this game really is very good indeed, I wasn't expecting it to be so cool.

[Krookie]

That's how I got it. I like the Winter Cold or Freeze or whatever the ice one is. That and Incinerate! are always with me.

Yah, some people are like "This game is awesome" and others are like "No, it's super awesome." Totally mixed reviews.
