The Big Daddies are the worst. Most splicers are just there to annoy you and to drain bullets.Most important thing bout fighting the big daddies is making sure you are in a good enviroment. Lots of hacked turrets, oil, or water to work in your advantage.
OK, now your being a little whiny. If you are not an experienced FPS player, Bioshock, like any new game-type is going to be a little more challenging because it is different from what you are used to. For an experienced FPS player, Bioshock would be really easy to complete without dying, even on hard mode. I am not the most experienced of FPSers I played on Medium and at about ten hours, I did not die again. So, mind the lip, he was answering the question you asked.Dkozza said:
As for making the game easier, you have to find a style of play that works for you, Bioshock offers multiple strategies that work well. I used to snipe, lay traps, chameleon skin and telekinesis in a jam and fire in a shitstorm. my bro used rage, rocket launchers and machine guns.
From the sound of things, it sounds like you would favor being a monkey wrencher. It is all automatic (no magic powers needed) and you can take out a big daddy with three swings of the wrench when it is all maxed out.
PM me with your specific issues and I'll customize a couple strategies for you that should make the game move more smoothly.
I was not a fan of bioshock but i did not find it to be too difficult. I found the ol' freeze (or alternatively shock) and wrench tactic worked quite well and though that was amusing for a while, watching a splicer stand frozen uncontrollably to a spot whilst i deposited my wrench of infinite misgiving upon his person, it was largely dissapointing. I just played the game on whatever the default difficulty is. I am not really bothered about earning acheivements or rewards or whatever incarnation of measured gaming milestones your gaming platform offers. I only really touch difficulties if i find the game far too easy or hard but that rarely happens as i do not excel at games; i only enjoy them. Except Pro Evo of course, i blow peoples mind at that game.
Max out your fire plasmid, upgrade your shotgun and buy electric buckshots. If you see a big daddy you set him on fire then you shock him with your shotgun which does massive damage, stuns them and they constantly lose health.
If you feel like being lazy you replace electric buckshot with any shotgun shell and your fire plasmid with ice, watch them shatter. But in the beginning of the game where you are weak you must hack and take photos of everything.

Find yourself System Shock 2 for your PC.Dkozza said:
You will never think of BioShock as being difficult ever again! Bioshock isn't really that hard, my solution to everything was as much ammunition as possible...
I recently got it for Xbox 360 (I'd rather have gone for the PC version, but I'm at uni now and my laptop can't run it) and I started a game on medium.
I got my arse kicked so severely, I ended up turning it off in frustration.
I'm gonna start again (on medium) and play it nice and slow, not my normal FPS style of blazing through everything really really fast. I think its a game that deserves a good deal of exploration and thought
And for those of you wanting more details, I got severely beaten by that surgeon boss guy thingy-ma-jig. I had no ammo, that flame plasmid and telekenisis, and flames wouldn't work because he would dive into a pool of water and stay there for the remainder of the fight. So, it was machine gun vs wrench, no plasmids.
Second arse kicking came with my first encounter with a big daddy. Died repeatedly, finally got him down, and then...WHERE THE HECK WAS MY LITTLE SISTER? I would charge the fucker, wrench him (again, no ammo) die, spawn, charge, I eventually kill him, and no ADAM for me :<

Your problem: Shotgun-To-The-Face.
Aim for the head, always.
the best tactic i found for big daddies was to fight them by a regeneration clinic so you could keep on doing damage to them and keeping them in a confined area.
I really didn't find it hard at all.
I managed to get through the entire game on medium, in one sitting, without dying.
I took it back the next day and swapped it for something else, claiming, "It didn't work on my pc."

Hard? Nnnnnot really. Annoying at times? Absolutely. The guy couldn't hit an elephant, if it was shoving its tongue down his throat. Even when you upgraded your guns, the recoil was waaaay off.
But, no, not really hard.
