Current Events > Bioshock 1 is pretty fucking cool

(+) Yeah! (+)

I never got past the dentist first time I played it. Now Im gonna try to beat the game. I just got telekinesis but it seems kinda shitty compared to fire and electricity.

Where the daddy's at? I wanna see how long I last

it starts out pretty fucking cool and then gets pretty fucking bad and then has a pretty cool fucking twist but then gets pretty fucking bad again.

Play System Shock 2 afterwards, you'll notice some similarities.

Also, I thought the same thing for over a decade until I actually tried Telekinesis seriously and that shit is super OP. Literally anything can be used as the equivalent of shotgun ammo, packing a powerful punch, for much less Adam use. Honestly give it a try.

what's cool about bioshock is that (most) of the plasmids feel pretty useful and so it really affects your playstyle when you pick your loadout of plasmids. you'll kind of get a feel for what you want.

overall bioshock is a great game, easily one of my favorites. very atmospheric, has that great "adventure game" vibe that is lost in most games these days, and fighting the big daddies is a cool mechanic. game does drag a bit at some parts though and the final boss is a disappointment

hopefully you have not been harvesting the little sisters

Dont kill the evil little girls? Im about to meet my first one

The surgeon dude was weirdo

I guess Ill go for good ending.

What happens if you straight up shoot them? Oh you cant kill them
---

I bought EVE link. Should I hold on to my ADAM or splurg it on whatever I can get?
---

Use it for the plasmids you want. I was quite fond of stealth and hacking and traps and the like. Just put myself out of the way as much as possible because good lord everyone is horrifying.
---

I loved that game.

Its graphics and art direction are so polished. Bioshock and infinite don't come close.

Seriously? Telekinesis is one of the best tonics in the game. You can catch any projectile thrown at you, and turn it on enemies. You can also use environmental hazards to your benefit in this manner. Think of it as Bioshock's gravity gun. It's amazing. Catch someone's grenade, then throw it back at them. This works on the Big Daddies that also lob proximity mines at you, and you can lob things like acetylene canisters at enemies.

Yeah Telekinesis is amazing and also very fun to use. I think that and Electro Bolt were my two main Plasmids. Used Incinerate and Winter Blast a decent amount too. And messing around with Sonic Boom and Cyclone Trap was very enjoyable.

2k tried to shove in a morality system with the little sisters, because morality systems were the flavor of the month fad in the mid 2000s, but it doesnt work well in bioshock. ADAM is really abundant anyway so you're not missing anything if you save the little sisters, they give you gifts, & you get the good ending if you dont kill any of them. there's really no benefit to harvesting them
---

I just got my shit pushed in by the first Big Daddy. Theyre kinda shorter than I thought.
---

Oh my god a Big Daddy appeared in the same area I killed one already. Wtf I dont have enough ammo for this. Can these guys just randomly spawn?
---

Yeah they respawn. But you don't have to fight them. The main reason to fight them is so you can save/harvest the Little Sister, so if you've already done that for that area, killing them again just gives you ammo and shit.
