DemonRaider1138 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) I already 1000ed this game. For those of you worried about 1999 mode, don't be. It isn't that hard. Granted it can be a bit dull as you won't want to stick your head out to shoot to often but it is a breeze. I actually never died. I did die once at the beginning of one fight just because I rushed out, stupidly forgetting there was a battle there but reloaded and beat it just fine. There are a lot of helpful hints and tips around the threads and if you read those you will have no issues with the game.

Starwind Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 To anyone thinking of stopping at 850 please at least TRY 1999 mode, it's not hard and getting another 1000gs is always worth it. I just finished got my 1000 tonight and loved the game, I went half the game on 1999 before I died at all and I actually did all the "Hand of the Prophet" parts better this time than on hard. So yeah just try it, if you don't like it you can always just stop playing lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HabsCen10ial Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 You always should go for 1000gs in a masterpiece like this one. All or nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segasonicdude Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I did 1999 and hard mode together so it's not that bad, just a little frustrating. Just take your time;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Malice Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 If 1999 was perma-death at any point throughout the game (with no checkpoints/respawns) THEN I could see this being considered a huge difficulty, simple fact is checkpoint system can be abused, and you get respawns aplenty if you manage your funds properly, and actually scavenge everything. This seems to be a lot easier than most people assume. I think it is just the "perma-death" and not using vending machines for ammo/health that is scaring some people. I haven't done it yet (this weekend sometime I will) but I can't imagine it is very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Karma Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) I think it is hilarious that everyone is saying 1999 mode is easier than the first two considering there are easy tricks to completing the first two on hard. To my knowledge, there isn't one for 1999 mode yet. Edited April 8, 2013 by Burning Karma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabwe Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I'm almost done with my hard playthrough and I think that I'll stick with my 850GS. The game was a total breeze until the second handyman, I'd say, and there's a solid difficulty increase from then... I know that I will get frustrated on 1999 mode, and I play video games to relax after work, not to be frustrated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielhauck007 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I'll be trying for the 1000G. Hopefully I'll prevail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wouldyoukindly Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I finished my 1999 play-through last night and the worst parts were the Siren, the second Handyman and the final battle. Honestly, if you take the rest of the game slow, you'll never run out of money and Elizabeth will always have your back. I only have four achievements to go until I hit 1000, so I'm pretty much revved up and ready to finish this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xRelentlessx Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Got my 1k today, very proud of that 1k considering 1999 mode with Scavenger hunt can be quiet frustrating at times. The final battle wasn't an issue I did it on my first attempt, it was the Sirens I struggled with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tremberz Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 This game is a very easy and enjoyable 1000G. Its obvious what I'm going to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralGranko Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Offcourse going for 100%, if I would sadly not do any of the cheevos, it would be the collectables ones - I hate collectables and collecting em is sooooo boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ii SlayerX Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I was at 850 for a day. The last 2 achievements for beating 1999 without DB machines was a joke with upgraded Possession and Charge. Easy 1000/1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dz06lt Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 850, im at 665 or something like that, missed some vigors and missed collectable. Since the game is shitty about letting you know where you missed them im not playing again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravelandx88 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) I must be the only 725GS here than lol. I took some time off and playing BF3 again. But when I do return, I'll try to go for 1000GS. If I can't, I'll settle for 850GS. No biggie. Edited April 9, 2013 by gravelandx88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenRaptorz Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 850 for now. 1000 later for sure. I'm too much of a completionist to not get it or at least let it destroy me for months to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalterWhite Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 The thread title should more likely ask: "Who's stopping at 800?" Nobody's playing this on Hard. It's Easy, Normal or 1999 Mode. But seriously I need to start my 1999 run, all mah friends done beat it already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffyy pop Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 why would anyone stop at 800-850??? the challenge of 1999 mixed with the beauty of the game is what makes this game! if you didn't do 1999 on your first run it should be easier on a second run since you know what's coming. don't leave this incomplete...it deserves a second and maybe 3rd run. even though I did 1999 first I still did a full second run. I had so much fun with the time I spent on bio inf...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Malice Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I am halfway through 1999 without using any kind of special tips or even upgrades using Gear Head (actually very useful) Winter Shield and Head Master (got all randomly) It isn't that bad, and so far the actual harder parts have had very forgiving checkpoints, letting me start from there and save money at the beginning. It isn't "easy" but there is no reason to be intimidated by it. in fact so far, the hardest part for me has been before I got the shield at the very beginning of the game.

Buffles Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I 1000G'd it last night, it was a really fun doing 1999, only part that was a pain in the arse was the Handyman fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercurse Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Already 1kd but in retrospect, I enjoyed 99 so much the first time I'm gonna do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasmid Blues Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Funny how some are saying the hard difficulty is harder than 1999.. I actually beat the game on hard, but I didn't select the difficulty from the beginning, I'd actually switched to hard in the very beginning before I'd ever entered Columbia, thinking it might actually count.. Nope.. So I went straight for the 1999 mode, about halfway if not more so and I've had very few problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChillenDerWijs Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I'll aim for a 1000g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Carrot Cake Kid Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 1000 in this game wasn't overly difficult. As long as you cleaned up all the collectables on an easy/normal playthrough you can run past almost half the battles in this game anyways.

I don't really see the problem as you have the same amount of time and chances to get them as you'd have on a easy/normal playthrough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
