Just enough advice to get you going, and then some.
*Explore - simple enough, there is no other way to squeeze all you can from
this game unless you explore every inch of a given area. Yes, it's annoying
that enemies will constantly respawn and pop up out of nowhere, but you have
to put up with it all if you want your cup to runneth over.
*Be mindful of your progressing enemies - that means that the enemies will get
tougher as you move along, so you must keep your plasmids and weapons up to
speed our you'll lose big.
*Money, exploring, and/or hacking - there are several ways to progress through
the game. You don't have to do all three of these to the max in order to get
by. If you go for all three then you will find yourself going way overboard
with trying to manage all your resources. I'm just letting you know that you
don't have to micromanage, for the most part.
*Accuracy - Understand that the enemies are smart. Your friends are your
plasmid powers of ice and lightning. Freeze or stun your slippery foes and you
get much easier shots.
*Hack what you can, destroy the rest - plain and simple, but sometimes a bot
is actaully a bad idea to take with you.
*Big Daddies are not out to get you - yes, despite what you may think, the
big guys are not enemies - unless you want them to be. You want the ones that
protect the girls, but the rest can be avoided. Press start to know how
many Little Sisters are in an area.
*Ammo is easy come, easy go - don't think that you have to preserve your best
weapons for last. And if you're in an insane fight, just switch to a loaded
weapon instead of reloading and just blast away. Don't be a whimp.
*Buyout when you can - early on you can buyout most of the machines for cheap.
Believe me, you do not need every dollar, so best to spend them on something
useful and not waste too much time in this game hacking about (unless you
really want that achievement).
*Research to success - when you get the camera, be sure to stun or freeze
enemies and take their photo before you kill them. Don't forget to take pics
of Rosies, Bouncers, Little Sisters, all the bosses, turrets, and cameras.
Aside from the bonus damage for each level of research you complete, you will
eventually gain certain tonics for your efforts.
*Don't hack everything - save your hack tools for safes, buyout or hack
unfriendly machines, but only take over the vending machines/U-Invents that
you plan to buy from. You can take a look at what a machine has to offer and
then decide if you want to buy.
*U-Invents don't need hacking - maybe early on, but certainly not later in
the game when you'll be overflowing with components. Just saving you some
time and effort.
*Destroy Health Stations for med kits - take out your wrench and smash any
health station for anywhere from one to three med kits. It's much better than
hacking or paying for health.
*Snap four photos of everything - you can get four pics of everything. This
is the best way to get your research on Little Sisters and Bouncers.
*Get Photographer's Eye tonics - this helps you in the long run with that
research too. Be sure to check my tonic section and not to miss both tonics
when you come across them, but only if you're obsessed with achievements.
*If you want to be an avid inventor, get both tonics - Clever and Prolific
Inventor tonics are the only way to reach the achievement of getting 100
invented items.
*Combine tonics to get a big advantage - mainly just the Static Discharge
tonics, but all other ones can be put into separate slots for boosted effects.
I'm not saying the tonics will fuse or something, but you do get both effects.
