Can You Beat BIOSHOCK 1 With Only Plasmids? 

If you do a plasmid only run for BioShock 2, as a heads up, Telekinesis 3 is hilariously broken. Everything smaller than a Big Daddy becomes an instant rag doll.

That moment when Lemon realizes he basically just did another firebomb only play through

I've never felt a greater connection to someone than when Lemon says "I need someone to validate my parking, and also I need someone to explain what validating parking means"

“Incinerate is good as long as there is no water nearby.” You are in _Rapture_ . Where could you _possibly_ go where there wouldn’t be water nearby?!

Just another thing I love about Lemon's videos, he can go from being super wholesome to throwing a dead cat with his mind and calling it Whiskers

"Oh great! A Bioshock challenge by the Backlogs, that's bound to be fun!" *THE NEED TO PLAY BIOSHOCK EVERY TIME I REMEMBER IT EXISTS* Fuck.

I know being nice to the Little Sisters gives good tummy feels and all but I think in the long run it is actually mechanically better than harming them. The gifts you get feel like they add up to more than what you lose in the moment and there are special plasmids for being good. The one that makes Big Daddies your buddy was the only plasmid I used a lot of when I played this game all those many many moons ago.

"When a parking ticket is "validated," it typically means the establishment a parking customer visited is paying for at least a portion of their customer's parking, up to 100% of the parking price. As a parker, getting your parking validated is a benefit of making a purchase at a business."

This has been the most entertaining video you’ve ever done. You have definitely fallen into your element. Thank you for making me laugh.

It's so hard to *not* do a Wrench Run in this game. The Wrench is just so damn effective after a couple upgrades.

Fun fact: Saving the little sisters will actually give you a larger amount of adam when they leave a gift along with other useful items.

The Harvest/Rescue struggle speaks to me. Every now and again, I try to play a game as a "bad guy", be it renegade in Mass Effect or whatever... I usually make it about 30 minutes in at most before I have to start over, because I simply cannot bring myself to play like that.

The fact that this gem is FREE really hits home how old I am. My dad bought it for me on Xbox after I begged him for it in grade school. I played the demo and instantly fell in love. I memorized the whole demo from the plane crash to entering the medical pavilion.

Someone probably already mentioned it, but there is a nice use for that freeze blast in a run like this. You can zap electronics to stop them before you hack them. You can also freeze them instead. If you freeze them, than the security minigame will also be slower and thus easier to succeed

Ulterior motive being nice to the little sisters, the "good guy" bonus at the end and not getting shithoused by Big Daddies all the time

I used to play bioshock when i was a kid, it was the first game i ever picked out myself without my dads help. I have loved this series since then. I just wanted to thank you for reminding me of that, nice run!

God i just got done doing a wrench only playthrough. Easier then i thought it would be

Hey, I did this challenge just on my own like 6 or 7 years ago. Other than the very first guy you have to kill with a wrench you can do the whole thing plasmids only! You can kill that second splicer in the water, you need to zap the water itself, not the splicer. Those little planters in the room with the elevators have water you can kill the splicers with electro bolt with too.

I love how he didn't even make it past the tutorial level before he answered the question posed by the title with a resounding "no".

When I played through, I tend to go till I find natural camo, then play dungeon master. I will case the joint, set traps along patrol routes, and then follow up with explosives. I did try a melee build, just not too good at dodging hits for it to work.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that he got the good ending by saving all the little sisters in a plasmids only run despite harvesting them yielding more Adam? This man has skill and a good set of morals.

I'd would so love to see this challenge done with Bioshock 2.

Dude, I only JUST reinstalled the Bioshock Collection. How did you know I was gonna do that? What? How?

I absolutely love the look of bioshock, the story and Atlantis inspired city combine into an absolute banger of a game

This is an excellent way to begin the weekend, really like your videos man 😁

Oh nice! I feel like the Bioshock games are a relatively untapped market for challenge runs

"Oh, there you are", someone tell me why it gets a chuckle out of me everytime he says it.

There's something curious about Bioshock's story that I find very interesting: You play as a man who has nothing. No name, no family, no history, no home and basically no free will. And through the game you work for and against two men who have or have had everything. Ryan, who became rich out of luck and who built Rapture and was basically its God for a time, and Atlas/Fontaine, who came from nothing and built an empire. You're basically the pawn used by a King to usurp another. The one choice, the only true choice you have in the game (outside of the meta-choice of "not playing") is to show mercy to a small group of people who are as much pawns in a greater game as you are. And if you choose to show mercy, to spare their lives even though at first glance it would have been more advantageous for you to just kill them, if you choose not to abuse those at your mercy like the ones controlling you are, at the end of it all you're the one having everything. A god was killed, and king was brought low, and then there was you. A man who came from nothing and made his own history, who found a family for himself and at the end of his days died peacefully of old age, surrounded by loved ones. Three men started their stories with nothing. The first got lucky, found petrol in his backyard and went on to build and be King of a great city, but had to watch his city burn and died at the hands of a slave. The second man worked hard and built an empire of crime, and used a slave to kill the King and become King himself, and tried to become a God, but he was killed by slaves. And then there is you, whose only choice was to show mercy to children or not.

I remember how much I loved BioShock when it first came out. Maybe it's time to replay them again

Okay but this is so wonderfully timed. I just recently restarted the bioshock series as a fun nostalgia trip during streams and finished bioshock 1 last night. Glad to see this from an amazing content creator. Hats off to you, Lemon, for the wonderful timing.

Great video man! I remember beating the game at the time with a wrench only (and plasmids..) One of my all time favourites Keep up the good work!

The fact its 2022 and this game still looks so great that it would hold against many titles today shows how 2007 was different from the gaming. Hell the telekinesis and fire still looks amazing. Edit: For people saying "remaster" I didnt knew he had it, as I believed he is still playing original because of the way Jack hands look.

I love Bioshock, thank you for reminding me how good of a time it was and how much fun I had as a kid. Would love if you played some more of the games!!

Would you kindly do Bioshock 2 too?

this was a great video! I'm enjoying the branching out content wise. keep up the good work:3

Stumbled upon your channel by chance, as I love challenge videos. Instantly subscribed, really love your delivery and humour.

Certainly one of the best videos I have seen lately, thanks for the laffs man, also really well put strategy.

After seeing this, I will say that when you do the Wrench Only run, Bolt is totally allowed to give the extra damage on the stunned hit, since when not used on water, it does no damage. Plus, it'll help with more annoying versions of Splicers like Spiders. Plus, I like the thought of Lemon just 1-2-Punching everything in the game after hitting them with the equivalent of a static shock.

love the vids man. keep it up!

I'm rewatching this video after a while, and it is pure gold. Every joke lands perfectly! great work. :3

You know I really wish I could re live this game for the first time all over again I absolutely fell in love with it. Sander Cohen was my favorite character for just how creepy he was and I loved finding the secret areas like his wild bunny recording. And then the whole Atlas/Fontaine reveal I remember that blew my teenage brain. Never could bring myself to harvest the little sisters tho I did once and felt so bad I restarted the entire level.

Love how much fun you're having in this!

This was great, I would really enjoy seeing more Bioshock challenge runs

2:42 you CAN but its like ten times less efficient than intravenous injection, and given how limited ADAM is as a resource, it's much more cost efficient this way. (see Vigors vs. Plasmid debate)

I could listend to this man making videos all day they are so good! Big love man

The Torvus bog subterranean theme is my absolute favorite, I’m so happy that you include such lovely songs in your videos

I had an idea, bioshock 2, but you can only use big dady weapons"drill and nailgun"

Another excellent video - and blew my mind using Wario Land 2 water level music near the start! Thought I recognised it, oh the nostalgia...

Thank you so much for playing this game!! This is one of my favorite games ever.

this is my favorite game of all time, im so glad people still play it

One of my all times favorite games. I would not have expected a video on it for sure. But I'm all for it !

Bioshock!? One of my favourite series ever. Loved it and hope you do Bioshock 2 later down the road

One of my favorites of your runs so far.

the timing for this video is amazing. i just finished bioshock 1! i loved lookin for tapes to learn more about rapture and its past

I see a new video of yours, and it looks interesting, so I watch it, and am always surprised by how much I enjoy it. I don’t know why I’m surprised, because every single video is one I enjoy, as they are all quality videos! Besides that, I love Bioshock, and this has made me want to start a new playthrough, so thanks!

Really starting to enjoy the evolving style of your vids lately

5:55 “So long as you’re observant…” He says as he walks over a burning corpse twice, taking damage.

Thanks for the video Lemon Would love to see some shenanigans with Bioshock 2

This video was great! So glad to see a favorite game get this love.

I love the Bioshock series, especially 2. I’d love to see more. Maybe a drill only run for 2?

I remember this being on my 360 that I got used, started playing up to the elevator part, got to rapture, saw one splicer, and noped out of the game and never played it again!

I love this game so much and I love how people are still playing this and still making videos about this even though I know it’s gonna happen but I still love this game it’s so good

I love Bioshock sooo much. Almost as much as I love interacting with videos so the algorithm gives em some love

Great vid! Thanks for branching out!

You used the wrench to knock on Peach’s door. Invalid run! Thanks for the video, love your content.

The bioshock ending while saving lil sisters is one of the most wholesome ending in games they all get married but still are there when jack is on death bed because their lives was essentially gave back to them by him so they love and care for him until the end ... perfect daughters big dadies are proud girls !

Humorous commentary in a challenge video. Now I remember why I liked your videos.

I'd certainly love another of these. But have fun with whatever you do!

I’ve got to say I love your intro. “Hey it’s Lemon” Idk your tone and the simplicity just makes me smile

I love all of your content!!

Well, your commentary style is immensely charming. Take my sub.

I was never more proud of a stranger than when you picked save little sisters even though it made it harder to play 😂

Neat to see all of the plasmids and upgrades I don't normally or have never used.

My man oughta do more bioshock challenges! This was fun as hell to watch. If i may suggest the most obvious challenge possible, how about wrench only?

The backlogs + Bioshock is the surprise I needed

I literally just beat the entire series and have been watching videos relating to it. impeccable timing

That comedic abridged first person narration through the intro alone got me to sub

just found your channel through this video, heard hollow knight ost in the first 10 seconds, instant like and subscribe you earned it boss

With the addition of incinerate, lemons has become INCENDIARY LEMONS

Honestly thank god you were so sweet to the little sisters, honestly no matter how evil i want to be, no matter what game, once i hit bioshock, i just cant bring it to hurt the little sisters, god bless you dog i know those little girls are equally as happy

Well, you missed the optional Cohen room area, and the chance to watch two splicers waltz.

Bro I literally finished bioshock 1 yesterday and started bioshock 2 today, wat a wizard

Nice work! And the editing keeps getting better. Since you already have the game installed, you should try a "No Adam Run"!

I heard some really good opinions about this game, and even thought about playing it myself. Thanks to you, i'm not gonna. Don't get me wrong, i loved watching, and i don't mind spoilers, it's just that i can't stand playing something even remotely scary. Didn't realize it's like that beforehand. Sooo... thanks for letting me experience it

Lemon , your jokes are just too hilarious ,”hey that man is on fire” i don’t wanna ser every game you try , but wanna see every video you upload

Ahh good old bioshock... Time to dump a chunck of time into my childhood and become a walking candle that burns everything by accident. Great vid Lemon

I laughed so much watching this your content is amazing

Quite enjoyable to watch! Also, i remember really enjoying this game when it came out. but i forgot more than i remember of the story. Honestly, main thing I remember is sparing the little sisters.

It is nice to see you do different challenges for other games.

Man I love this game. Bioshock was my first game during the Wii/360/PS3 generation and it still holds up. A true masterpiece.

So exciting! The man delivers!!!

I love the subtle nod in the mini sub!

Almost first! Man I just started watching your DS challenge runs, you are so funny, literally the same type of humour I've been looking for. Can't wait for this 💪🏻💪🏻🇮🇪

really loving the metroid prime 2 soundtrack in the background, Lemon

Validated parking is when you park in a paid parking garage or something. You then go into a store and do your shopping or get your massage or whatever, and they either refund you your parking fee or give you a coupon to get out of the parking garage, that kind of thing.

Lmao I had the same issue with the elevator call button in Sander's area. You're not alone my guy, I spent half an hour wandering around.

I really love your challenge videos, so seeing Bioshock 2 would be an interesting spectacle. I never played any of the Bioshock games until the start of covid, I figured I'd finally give them a try. I don't know if it was just me but damn those games were hard. I just couldn't get into the meta of handling the challenges, but it was fun.

A challenge run RU-vidr that actually has human feelings? Never thought I'd live to see such a creature,Ya earned a sub my friend

BIOSHOCK MAN that is one of my favorite game i really love this game. sooo nostalgic

I’d love to see you play Bioshock 2, it’s the only one I haven’t seen fully yet
