Well, some of you complained about the difficulty being too easy. Now you can turn off vita-chambers and go for the new achievement! Get the PC patch at Cult of Rapture and the 360 patch... on the 360!
I never got all the audio logs, so it might be time to revisit good ol' Rapture on hard. I mostly reloaded on normal anyway, and now we can actually play it in proper widescreen.
Cult of Rapture wrote:I’m proud to announce that the BioShock PC Patch and third BioShock 360 Title Update are available for download tonight at midnight, PST. These updates will not only fix some issues remaining with the game, but will also give both PC and 360 fans new plasmids and tonics, as well as another achievement for Xbox Rapturians.
And since you guys have been so patient waiting for this patch, we're giving you all the additional content completely free. Now you can adjust your FOV, rebind your keys, and walk through Rapture in addition to running. And if you really want to be hardcore, you can turn off Vita-Chambers for added difficulty.

All creature will die and all the things will be broken. That's the law of samurai.

Edit: Now my 1000/1000 achievement mocks me.
Gives me a good reason to replay the game too.
Meh, don't really have a hankering to go through that whole process again, anyway.
Fucking insomnia. Though I'm really curious to see how the added FOV will change my gaming experience.
On my 37" Sharp, the perspective was fine.
Well, on to my 10th playthrough... I think.. I've honestly lost count how many times I've played the game.
... if i hadn't already played the fucking game not realizing that when you die there are no consequences! i played the game like there was no vita chambers!
that pissed me off when i realized half an hour from the finish you just come back right away. :x
(and it was still too easy of a game.)
most of all, most of all
someone said true love was dead
but i'm bound to fall
bound to fall for you
oh what can i do
And Wwy do I find
amusing?
I just finished Bioshock. This'll add some nice replay value, along with my post-holiday upgrade to a HDTV.

It fixes two of my peeves with the game, (Other than it refusing to accept native AA from my ATI card. Ugh.) most importantly, the subtitle desyncs and allowing us to turn off the vita-chambers.
As a tangent, this is the perfect timing for DLC -- about two or three months after a game's been released. It's long enough of a cooldown period that people who ran through it at launch won't have the game completely fresh in their minds but it's close enough that the good memories of the game are still in the back of your mind.
It's also nice that they finally added the new widescreen FOV as an option, if only to quell the ridiculously nerdy debate that ensued from the game's launch. I'll be playing it in the original intended mode now that I have my new widescreen TV.
A retardedly awesome patch and DLC, for free.
And a fix for widescreen FOV on the 360.
What the fuck Irrational, you are supposed to charge for this shit. I feel offended by your greatness.

What the fuck Irrational.
that's not random.
that has to do with you holding the A button accidentally at just the right moment to replay it
Nonono, he means the parts toward the end of the game where audio logs you heard half an hour ago start randomly replaying when another log should be playing.
That drove me nuts too.
really? I had never heard of that
Crazy so that's really common?
Common enough so that I got it as well. Didn't bother me that much though...just got to hear wonderful voice acting again.
