Even with the Vita Chambers having to constantly re spawn with no health packs and only a wrench is really frustrating. I might just play easy on this way through and when i rerun the game i'll do medium. Never gonna tackle hard. Seems impossible in my opinion.
Bioshock, Way Too Hard?

It really wasn't too hard for me at all. My first play was on normal and I was only occasionally killed because I was careless and angered too many splicers at once (pre-explosives) or because I didn't prepare well enough for a Big Daddy. I do admit I burned through health packs like crazy, but they were everywhere so I still didn't die much. I was uber-powerful near endgame (and really cut down the med pack use) Pyro powers forever!
I found it excessively easy because of Vita-Chambers. If I played it again, I'd turn them off (I didn't realize until I'd beaten it that it was an option). However the difficulty of Bioshock is naught when compared to its parent game (I'm playing through System Shock 2 for the first time at the moment).
Do you happen to have beaten every other FPS ever known to human kind? If not you are incredibly skilled.oni565 said:
I would say it's impossibly difficult, but that's just because despite the fact that my computer's stats are up to par, Bioshock had a steady 1 second lag at least, even on the lowest graphical settings. I made it all of 20 minutes before I decided it was unplayable.
just get wrench jockey 1 and 2, the sport boost (or whatever it is called that makes you swing your wrench faster) and then frozen wrench upgrade and you can kill anyone, i beat almost the whole game using only my wrench on medium, oh and freezing plasmid
May I just add that I am not an expert at FPS. I don't suck but I'm in the middle somewhere on a scale.
I found medium difficulty to be challenging. Nothing too hard though. Splicers were really no problem. Big Daddies could be tough.
BioShock isn't really like regular FPS's. I wouldn't say it's totally twitch or skill based.

i have the ps3 version on the hardest difficulty and let me say this: You cannot move an inch without vaudeville psychopaths shooting you, big daddies can damn near kill you with a glance (i call this the chuck norris effect), and fighting bosses is like handcuffing yourself to a tether pole and lying face up in a mosh pit after spitting on a bunch of hardcore skinheads. the point I'm trying to get to is that When you beat BioShock, you feel like you beat it no matter how many times you die. it's worth it.
wow i played that game on hard first time through it was ok but the vitachambers made the gameplay too simple, and watered down i mean my 10 year old brother could beat that game on survivor WITH vitachambers. the real challenge is disabling the vitachambers and playing on either survivor or hard depending on you of course.
I actually thought bioshock was kinda lame until i found out i could turn those god awful chambers off.
and this may surprise you and you may not believe it but bioshock is only the second FPS i have had the patience to finish.

I've been playing on my PS3 set to Hard, without problems. I reload if I don't like my performance, but rarely use Vita Chambers. Be sure to pick a good environment to fight Big Daddies. Twice, I've taken a Big Daddy out without using a Chamber once.
A fistful of lightning is probably all you'll need. That and the ability to shoot bees from out of your hand. The wrench is a great weapon here. Combine with sneaking and wrench lurker tonic and you've got yourself a winner.
Haven't tried it on hard though. In my playthrough (medium), I only had difficulty at the beginning. Ammo and money was scarce, and the first Big Daddy encounter was really a balls-to-the-wall experience. By the time I got near the end, everything I invented got doubled (hack tools, ammo, etc.) and my coffers were always full. As for Big Daddies: Shock, then incendiary rounds to the face. Lather, rinse, repeat until dead.
