The HARDEST Achievements in BioShock - Nostalgia Drive

One of the best games ever, BioShock. Released in 2007 for the Xbox 360 and Ps3 and one of the many games I never got all of the achievements for. It's hardest achievement is "Brass Balls" and to get it you have to beat the game on hard without dying. No achievement guide and no quitting, I'm not stopping until its 100%.

I really hope you have more planned games to do this series on. This is the only series on KZbin I've been genuinely excited and can't wait for.

[@edwinmouhawasse3972]

I feel the same way. One of the only videos I truly enjoying watching as someone who loves getting achievements. Well done with this series, it really is something special

[@xxStrayxxDogxx]

The plan is to stick to and complete every game that's listed on my Xbox. It's a lot but I've always wanted to do it!

@@ChubiceOfChunckle20 that's true but there are some really random games that have me excited too. Apparently I once played a game called "Bionicle Heroes" so that's gonna be a funny one.

Ayoo! Breadn didn’t expect to see you here!

[@TwilightNightGaming]

Honestly the idea of using a guide on a "Collect x amount of things" is completely fair, quests like that are ass.

[@xxStrayxxDogxx]

I'm glad that this seems to be something everyone can agree on. Like I'm all for a challenge but it's a little much

Nostalgia Drive is a very good concept, and a good series. You make this in a way it's not awkward, and as a achievement hunter myself, you have a huge amount of potential in this. Horray for you, and I'll wait for the next game.

[@dustyfedora]

I think my favorite thing about the game is that the “would you kindly” is baked into dialogue that tells you what you need to do to progress.

[@voteZDLR]

Agree and it sort of flips the switch because at first you just think it's the quirkiness of the characters speaking and their dialogue or whatever and then you figure out that he's not just instructing you on what to do and requesting you do things, it just sounds that way to us but our character wasn't being asked at all he was being TOLD what to do. We had no say in the matter all along.

[@simonsoupshark8009]

ironicly having played through the game last month, i realized that prior to the ryan death scene the phrase "would you kindly" is only used 3 times (4 if you count the writing on the bomb)

[@PhotoMeLarry]

@@simonsoupshark8009 You sure about that? Atlas says it twice before you even get a gun, in the games intro. -Would you kindly find a wrench or something? -Would you kindly grab the radio?

[@simonsoupshark8009]

@@PhotoMeLarry he says it for the radio but not for the wrench, the second time he says it is when he makes you put your weapons away to walk past a big daddy cant quite remember the exact instances of the other two tho

[@PhotoMeLarry]

@@simonsoupshark8009 I had just played the game 2 days before posting that though, and after the ending went back through the first hour or two. Perhaps a difference between the original and remastered, but he definitely asked me "would you kindly" find a crobar or something, when I found the wrench. All that just to say I feel like there were more than 4 would you kindly's across the whole game. But I cant say if this was not the case in the original version, I was playing remastered.

i played it for the first time in 2019 and that plot twist put this game on my top 10 list. i got the good ending. and seeing that the little sisters that u saved become ur daughters, live full lives, and are there for u when ur on ur deathbed, i fucking cried my eyes out. seeing their hands holding ur old hand on the hospital bed, all of them wearing wedding rings… such a beautiful and poetic ending.

[@phalanx8437]

You probably won’t see, but please keep doing this series I’m a trophy hunter myself, we need more representation in the KZbin community. I love seeing you tackle hard achievements. I’ve also gone back to games like this, recently did Max Payne 3 which took 9 years to platinum/1000g

[@Diphenhydra]

I actually went back and finished this in January, the PS3 version not the PS4 version which has a few major differences. If anyone wants to do this I’ll give a few tips I learned myself. For the PS4 version, avid inventor can be cheesed by reloading a save, and the survivor no vita chamber trophy can be done on easy and just switching difficulties right as the final cutscene starts. On PS3 these trophies suck. Survivor no deaths I just saved constantly and had back ups of back ups. 1 at the start of each level and a few at various points. If you don’t get avid inventor by the end of the game you can go back to the bee area in that one mission and grind materials. It might take several hours but it’s probably faster than going through the entire game again. Also know that there are upgrades that let you invent more for less. Early game has an area before you fight your first big daddy where you can farm max money and can keep going back to it throughout the game to make sure you’re fully stocked. The first big daddy fight is the hardest as you don’t have much, but he has limits to where he can go and if you bring him to a certain doorway near the bathysphere he just doesn’t go through it and loses track of you, giving you a few seconds to attack without trouble. Are these methods cheesy and trivialize a difficult game? Yes, but also it’s on PS3 and the PS3 version kinda sucks and I already did it on PS4 so what of it.

Amazing dedication man. That bit about “takes upwards of 90 seconds to save” is exactly what made me quit the game back in 2008. I got all the way to where you kill whatsisname with the golf club, then went to save, and the game crashed during it. Lost everything. So that’s as far as I ever made it. I’ve quit at least a half dozen games specifically due to my own personal murphy’s law with corrupted/lost saves over the years… I can’t even imagine not only starting over and actually trying again/beating them, but you go through HARD multiple times and go for even the achievements that literally almost no one on the planet had even when the game was new?

That counter to your right at 2:54 can be used to cheese the hell out of Big Daddies. Get on the opposite side of it from a Big Daddy, then hold straight forward such that you're running into the counter while staring at the Big Daddy's face. The Big Daddy will think you're in range of a hit, but the counter is just enough to keep you from damage. Now you can slowly wrench your foe to an early dirt nap and reap the rewards. You can easily get a full wallet off of respawning Daddies this way.

You become a speedy boi who hits like a truck with double speedboost and all the wrench boosting tonics. Oh, and you can make it even easier by bringing the Research Camera back to medical after getting it, and fully researching the infinitely-spawning Bouncer Daddies there for the permanent wrench damage boost ASAP. We'll see if you remember all this if you ever get the itch to play through again, though.
