Bioshock Demo Challenges for the Hardcore

[Kyburz]

Since it will be a while until the final version is out here is a thread to issue hardcore challenges to try to get a little bit of extra gameplay out of the demo. Of course all of these should be intended to be played on normal since easy is pretty obscenely easy.

Here is one that I just accomplished:
Beat the demo without using a single medical kit or eve hypo. You can use other restoration items other than medi kits/eve hypos though. Can anyone else do it? It's not super tough, but you do have to be careful to not accidentally use an eve hypo since they auto-reload.

Anyone else who does this earns a Cult of Rapture achievement point!

Is it just me or when Jack walks it sounds different? Kind of like when a horse walks, that click-click, or am I crazy?

That sounds good! What about a wrench only challenge too?

Good call, if this thread seems popular i will try to think up a new challenge every day until either release or I totally run out of ideas.

We can even have a competition of sorts where people who complete these challenges will get points and we can keep track of who the winner is at the end.

Here are some (and really the only types) things you could do:

-Wrench Only Challange
-Plasmid Only Challange
-No health, and no eve challange (so basically 1 hit your dead)
-Use your enviorment only challange (so you use only plasmids only when some Splicer is standing in water)
-Guns Ahoy challange
-Machine Gun challange
-Pistol Challange

-SPEED PLAY

BRONZE: Completes demo under 15 minutes

SILVER: Completes demo under 10 minutes

GOLD: Complete demo under 7 minutes

Granted the Speed Run challange is proabley the most difficult, and realisticly the most impossible

Head Shot Challange: Use 2 bullets ONLY per Splicer

Faced the Enemy in the eye: Each Splicer you see you fight with (don't count when Splicer in water you use elec. and kill 4 of them, you have to fight each and every one)

Yeah, that's preatty much it. I'll practice the Speed Run challange but it'll be interesting to see if anyone can acutally get the bronze award....//

Anyone ever own the Nintendo64 Perfect Dark game, should remember this challenge. Perfect Dark Mode, basicly beat the game in total darkness. So turn off your tv, and play the game(demo) from memory. LOL

The cool thing about the Perfect dark game was, you could hear everything, but the screen was black.

How does one prove that a challenge has been met?

[thepunisher666]

when these hardcore challenges are met are we using digital pics to post proof or are we just taking someones word for it? will the Full Game have trophies enabled as well?

[BS_Modify]

It's just for fun, there's no prizes or anything I'm sure.

I did it first time on normal (thank god for bandages). Well at one point I did accidently use an EVE hypo but shocked all the buzz out of it in a toilet.

Yes, it does have trophies.

Here is a fun challege for you guys that i did on my last playthrough. Beat the demo with 9 eve hypos and 9 first aid kits by the time you win. It is not too tough, but it did actually encourage me to be a bit more creative about my use of alcohol and cigs. Namely, a good strategy if you are low on eve is to drink up all the whiskey you can and then smoke a single pack of cigs which will give you enough eve to use some another shot of plasmids.
