Bioshock on Xbox 360

I took my time playing the game and I tried to make sure I went everywhere and examined everything. I think you would miss a lot if you would just zoom through the game as fast as possible. I still didn't find all the diaries though. I reckon there's probably just one lurking somewhere, but I couldn't find it.

I'm hoping that i've found all the diaries - there were some that were pretty well hidden.

There's a handful you can't go back to. Those in the starting area, and the three in Ryan's office.

Other than those, you can always go rooting around for the rest later.

I think *crosses fingers* that I got all of those. Definately got the three in Ryan's office.

Baaah, looks like I must have missed one.

Completed the game and no sign of the achievement - i'm assuming it'll unlock the minute the last one is found - so it looks like i'm going to have to play it through again.

To add insult to injury it didn't give me the achievement for completing it on hard either!!

Although the Achievement says 'complete the game on the hardest difficulty setting'. It doesn't open up a more difficult setting if you complete it on Hard does it?

Looks like I might have to have another run through this......

I must be a glutton for punishment because following my last track through Bioshock i've immediately restarted for another crack at the Historian Achievement.

This time i'm taking much more time to search all the areas and i've already found a couple of diaries that I missed the first time around - one was in the Projector Room at Fort Frolic whilst the other was also at Fort Frolic, hidden in the basement of the Wine Shop (I forget it's name).

Fingers crossed i'll get them all this time around and I can finally move onto something else.....

DLC coming this week apparently, so maybe you won't be done quite so soon.

Not sure what's in it yet though.

Some additional plasmids so i've heard - although not sure how well it'll work bearing in mind they've said they won't be releasing new maps.

I've yet to complete it on hard mode so this might be the incentive I need. Strangely, until this moment I've not felt the desire to go back to it.

Hmmm, it's a strange game because I completed it the first time through and was a bit 'meh' about the whole game.

I've really enjoyed playing it through the second and third times though.

I think that it's partly because i'm now doing all I can to avoid using the Vita Chambers and actually employing some strategy when taking on the Big Daddies. I also think I may have rushed it the first time through - Halo 3 was fast approaching so I was pushing to just get Bioshock completed and out of the way.

I'd very much like a "disable Vita Chambers" option with the patch. I doubt that they'd include one though.

That is included apparently:

Hurrah!

Also disable the quicksave feature. Can this be done by fiddling with the config file (PC only obv)?

The patch is apparently up now. The new plasmids don't sound particularly amazing, but on the 360 they've added an achievement for completing the game on hard without resurrecting at a vita chamber, so there's added incentive to give it another play through. Here are the details:
