Where are the saved game files stored for BioShock?

[HookeyStreet]

I need to format my Vista HDD but before I do so I would like to backup my BioShock saves so I can continue where I left off

Does anyone know where they are stored?

I should probably start a new thread, but...

Why is it I can only have two plasmids at a time. I picked up the telekenisis plasmid and lost the electric bolt one. Am I just stupid? Looks like there's room for 5 total, but only two openings when I pickone up.

you need to buy upgrades that will open 1 more opening, you will find it later in the game, like in the beginning of the second level

I figured it was something I'd have to find later - I remember reading a review that talked about carrying unlimited plasmids & why I asked. Maybe I read it wrong.

I'm not trolling for spoliers...

Yeah, once you have enough Adam and get far enough in the game, you can buy plasmid slots .

So far, I love BioShock. I've played for about 2 days, I still have a lot of game left to go, and the enemies are smart, fast, and challenging. As I've said before, it's the first game since Half Life 2 to put a serious effort into in-game plot.

in one review they said that the game is way too easy, but its not really easy, especially if you are trying to kill big dady, on the second level they are HARD!

 

[zekrahminator]

Yeah, some people think it's easy...maybe they forgot to turn up the difficulty? .

I play on hard difficulty. It's not really that challenging of a game... The death system is very generous.

 

[a111087]

Yes, the death system is even strange, but i try to avoid dying, that makes it difficult.

 

[zekrahminator]

Yeah, same here...in BioShock, death may be a "minor inconvenience", but it's a very annoying one at that.

Solution to dying: Dont
