Bioshock

Difficulty: I would have to say the overall difficulty of this platinum is "moderately difficult". The achievements themselves are not particularly difficult, however, the first half of the game will test your gaming skills but as you become stronger the second half of the game is quite easy.

Convenience: The best thing about this platinum trophy is that it can be achieved through one complete play through. Depending on how well you deal with the difficulty this trophy will clock in around 20-30 hours. It took me approximately 23 hours.

The Set Up: If you want to complete this platinum in one play through select the "survivor" difficulty and when the game starts turn off the vita-chamber machine through the options menu. All that is left now is acquiring the rest of the trophies through the survivor difficulty setting.

Tricky Trophies: There are four trophies I found particularly tricky and can be missed if you are not paying attention or do not act accordingly.

-Research PHD (Max out all possible research): Maxing out all possible research also includes the different type of cameras and security devices (such as flying bots). If you destroy all cameras before maxing the research on cameras then you will miss this trophy.
-Found Cohen's Room (The player has entered Sander Cohen's personal quarters): When Cohen reveals his completed masterpiece DO NOT KILL HIM. Later in the game there will be two dancing splicers that Cohen is admiring and you will need to kill them for him to come out of his chambers. If you kill him before this scene then you cannot enter his chambers.
-Weapons Specialist (Acquire all upgrades for all weapons): This trophy coincides with the one listed above. There is a weapons upgrade machine in his room that will be required for achieving this trophy.
-Historian (Collect all audio diary): There are two audio diaries, New Year's Eve Alone and Hole in the Bathroom Wall, that you must obtain before going to the medical pavilion because you cannot backtrack if you miss these diaries.

All other trophies are self explanatory.

General Tips: Like I have mentioned before, the first half of this game is difficult, mainly because of the big daddies so save OFTEN. Secondly, stock pile electric ammo for the shotgun because it immobilizes the big daddies for about one second. Because of this immobilization, if you time it correctly you can unload an entire clip without the big daddies moving. I found it to be the easiest way to deal with them, so I recommend fully upgrading the shogun first and not wasting any electric ammo until you confront big daddies.

If you have any questions or trouble with any of the trophies in this game feel fee to drop a line. Thanks!
