This Achievement in Bioshock is VERY Unfair

[@VinceMouse]

I didn't realize until recently that you get a wrench instead of, say, a crowbar or something, because it's a pipe wrench. The most useful tool in a sinking city.

[@morgansbasement]

It's not a bad choice if you ask me haha

[@brianrabadue6787]

it is also a callback to the game's spiritual predecessor, System Shock, wherein the player used a wrench as their melee weapon

[@Serket800]

You should've done "I Chose The Impossible"... As this is one of the easier achievements compared to the one I just stated. This is not even on the highest difficulty whereas the other IS actually a harder difficulty..

[@morgansbasement]

I'm not sure if you noticed, but this was the Xbox 360 version, so there isn't survivor difficulty. I had like 2 achievements unlocked from 2009, so I wanted to complete this version of the game haha. So to answer your question, I chose this difficulty because it IS the hardest difficulty in the game

[@TenebrisVeritatis]

Funnily enough, you only trigger the spicer attack by picking up the shotgun, which you don’t need. Unless you enjoy pain, that is

[@morgansbasement]

Lmao I didn't know that, but I picked up everything I could find since I wanted the 100%

[@mariosflors6735]

Amazing work Morgan! Hope to see more videos like this one for bioshock 2 and infinite. Especially the latter, I highly recommend that you play it, if you haven't already, as it adds so so SO much to the overall plot and lore of bioshock. The writing in bioshock 1 and infinite are just phenomenal.

[@morgansbasement]

The only Bioshock I've played prior to this was Bioshock 2, and I remember enjoying the game a ton. But I NEED to get around to infinite

Congrats bro! Bioshock is an amazing game. I should probably get back to it when I have time lol.

[@possiblymaddie]

@@morgansbasementif you are gonna attempt the brass balls achievement in the remaster, be wayyyy more liberal with the save feature. Id say at least every 15-30 minutes because the first game crashes a LOT. Ive 100%’d it on all 3 platforms, and it can be demoralizing

bro when I was getting the "I Chose the Impossible" achievement It was hard for me to even get through the first area and i wasn't doing a one weapon only run. i couldn't imagine how hard it would be to do that with just a wrench.

I played Bioshock 1 again on max difficult just a couple weeks ago and it was so fucking difficult, the work that you did in this video is amazing Fr.

[@morgansbasement]

If you're playing the remastered there is a harder difficulty, but on the OG there's only hard. NGL this was such a fun run though, I would do it again haha

[@Utabuki56]

@@morgansbasement TBH I didn't knew about that. Because I played the OG years ago when I had my Xbox 360 and when I tried the remaster version from the Bioshock collection I felt like it was more difficult and now I know why lol. Great video

[@giancaferror5400]

Unironically if you use mainly wrench it became super easy to play on the hardest difficulty,the only thing you use real ammo on ar big daddy . I came across a really op wrench build, i later discovered it was one of the strongeat, while playing cause i had to get the no chamber and all photo achievement and since i am kinda good in building in games i saw some potential in a melee build with the perk i had and i was not wrong. Also the real benefit of doing this is that you will be always full of ammo against all the Big Daddie you will find so that you can also resque or kill all the sisters in the game. If you combine this and powers wrench is probably the strongest weapon in the game for normal enemies

To be fair, the wrench gets op pretty quick into the run, there was a point in my Survivor (no vita camara) play thorough where i did better with the wrench than with any other upgraded weapons i had

[@morgansbasement]

I played the game again after this with all guns/abilities (on survivor since it was the remaster), and I never had an issue. I think the guns/plasmids REALLY help with Big Daddys. Besides fighting them, the wrench was a great weapon
