BioShock Glitch

Despite having not yet finished Naruto or Lost Odyssey (both of which have proven frustrating in one big way or another, although the former is almost done), I recently started playing BioShock once again, this time on Medium. Although I thoroughly loved this game the first time around, I think I love it even more now, playing through it a second time. That is, until I hit a BIG glitch in the game today:

Roughly half-way through the game, I came to an objective scene from which I couldn't proceed without killing a bunch of loonies that were supposed to be sicked on me. Unfortunately, the game glitched and didn't manage to send anyone my way, creating an impossible scenario to complete. The real problem here though wasn't the glitch itself, but rather that I had already used my one recent save file after the glitch started, leaving me without an unglitchy backup! So now, despite hours of recent gameplay, I'm going to have to start over!

Although this made me sad, I'll be getting my new Star Wars game in the mail this week, so I don't really mind postponing my re-attempt at BioShock until a month from now or so. And now that I've seen what the game is like on Medium, I think I'm just gonna go ahead and play the game on Hard next time, which will unlock a couple achievements I couldn't have gotten in an easier difficulty setting, so it's not all bad news...I guess.
