Bioshock *not demo* - Page 7

I have been busy this weekend but the activation fiasco is now putting me off. Granted it will be a good game, but to be limited on the number of installs and then having to use a 'removal tool' before reinstalling is offputting. The tool hasn't been released yet and otherwise you'll have to call a premium rate number.

I really think I may return my game and wait until I have a 360.

Finished it, but can't believe I didn't get the Historian achievement - I was certain I'd checked every single area. I can only assume that one of them is in the one place I couldn't get to:

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

If you kill Sander Cohen to get the Irony achievement and muse box thing, he doesn't appear later on to open his apartment door. That must be where the final recording is, unless I missed some entirely.

End Spoiler Alert!

You'll have missed some, I know I did, and I spent a long time exploring every area. There's 122 in total, so you could always load up your last save game and see how many you missed out by. I think I was 10-15 out in the end. I'm going to wait until a guide comes out so I can get them all in my next playthrough (which will be on Hard).

Belmit · 28-08-2007, 17:41

I didn't realise you could check how many you had - where's the data held?

Edit: Just went and counted. 121. Cock it.

Davey_Pitch · 28-08-2007, 18:15

Oooh, harsh. If it helps, the one you missed wasn't where you thought it was, there wasn't a diary in there. Check out http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...&postcount=139 and http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...&postcount=140 to see which one you missed.

Belmit · 29-08-2007, 11:20

Just printed those out and I'll have a check tonight. Fingers crossed I missed one of the later ones. :/

Davey_Pitch · 29-08-2007, 11:25

Oh, and by doing what you did to Cohen, you missed the chance to get one of the weapon upgrades, as the machine is in his apartment

Belmit · 29-08-2007, 11:30

Yeah, I'd worked that out, although I think I missed another one as well somehow. Are you supposed to be able to fully upgrade every weapon? By the end my crossbow had no upgrades, and my chemical thrower only had one.

Davey_Pitch · 29-08-2007, 11:36

Yup, there's enough upgrade machines for every weapon. I missed one somewhere which was annoying. I will say though, by the end of the game I loved the Crossbow. It's the only weapon powerful enough to take out the Spider slicers in one hit (headshot), at least when it's upgraded. It was my most used weapon by the end, except for the Chemical Thrower which was fantastic for taking out Big Daddies (without taking a single hit)

I'm struggling, I need to take photographs of three Spider Slicers but I can't find them
