people dont understand, the champers were put there yes, but do you have to use them NO

you can always reload your game, seriously

There is a compromise between the two, though. I think BioShock's greatest fault is its difficulty level. There are four or five times when I accidentally angered a Big Daddy or walked into a room with the wrong Plasmid and was mobbed. Instead of attacking, I just went "what the hell" and wrenched as much as I could. Then I respawned with all my unused ammo and walked back in knowing exactly what I was getting into.

I hope to God that BioShock 2 at least implements some sort of penalty for going to a Vita-Chamber. That, in my opinion, is probably the game's biggest weakness.

I'd also like to see a few more RPG elements in the game.

Don't get me wrong; I think BioShock is one of the greatest experiences I've ever had in gaming. But that doesn't mean it's perfect and the next time I explore Rapture, I hope there are a few minor tweaks to gameplay. With that said, I still gave the game 10/10. I think it's f***ing amazing.

 Yes, Id like to see them penalize for vita-chamber usage. Maybe you spawn with half life/eve or your plasmids dont work for a preset amount of time, maybe you can be dizzy for a while (something..anything..) I think they could do away with them altogether and just implement some checkpoint autosaves or something. Also I feel like they are kind of a big hole in the overall story, since wouldnt *everyone* be using them, splicers and villains and all?
 Also now further into it I feel Im getting sort of sick of listening to those diaries. That monotone vinyl record quality sound they have does add to that 50's atmosphere though, but for me its getting a bit old.
