Bioshock 2: a declaration of love to the abyss

A Big Daddy is a fictional personality in the BioShock series of video clip games. Big Daddies are greatly mated (genetically engineered and modified with ADAM) people that have actually had their bodies straight grafted into greatly armored, steampunk-inspired atmospheric diving suits. They are equipped with a rivet gun, hefty drill, rocket launcher, or ion laser. Alpha collection Big Daddies are furnished with any one of a number of other weapons as well. Though they make low-pitched moaning noises comparable to whales, their vocalizations were executed by voice star Stephen Stanton. Designed by Irrational Games (then under the supervision of 2K Boston/2K Australia), they first appeared in BioShock and also were promoted greatly. A six-inch Big Daddy activity number was included in the limited edition version of the title. In its follow up, BioShock 2, the player regulates a prototype Big Daddy. They wander the undersea dystopian city of Rapture, emotionally conditioned to safeguard the Little Sisters-- little girls who harvest a compound called ADAM from remains-- many thanks to a collection of plasmids stripping them of their humanity and also free choice. The player s communications with Big Dads as well as Little Sisters have been explained by developer Ken Levine as the cornerstone of the video game, as a result of the player s demand for ADAM in order to acquire stamina in the video game.

In 2007 Bioshock pulled many of you in the spell of the underwater town of Rapture. I too was excited about the world and the exciting story and had high expectations of the successor. Bioshock 2 will gladly overlook today, although the ego shooter has innovative ideas and a dramatic action. I m still thinking about how I fought against the Big Sisters and continued to penetrate into the eerie rapture.

A role exchange right at the beginning

If you have started Bioshock as an airplane passenger, which crashes over the sea and saves yourself to a lonely lighthouse, you start in Bioshock 2 directly under the Atlantic Ocean.

And I was surprised right at the beginning. Because neither I was Jack out of the first part, nor a new hero who fights the crazy splicer underwater. Instead, I put in the skin of an old acquaintance. I have become Big Daddy, the huge robotic beings who defend their Little Sisters to death with a drill as a poor.

Hard shell soft core

While I perceived the Big Daddy s in Bioshock only as a particularly strong opponent, I could get to know her better now. They were mixed and I have not seen them as a large sheet metal bushes, but as a protector who wants their little girls who want to defend the Little Sisters at any prize. After all, I turned one of them myself.

BioShock 2 Turning Eleanor Into A Big Sister

Quickly I learn that my own Little Sister was kidnapped and in the hands of Dr. Sophia Lamb is. So I put everything on it and fight me through the dystopic rapture. Quickly I noticed that the Big Daddy slows down, almost already sluggished, and one has to adapt his style of play. But after a short familiarization, I had no problems with the slow movements. The fighting with the wild residents Raptures attract the pace pleasantly and are also very varied thanks to the variety of weapons. Between standing and flying protected polymers, shooting crazy and other Big Daddy s I did not have to be very careful not to bite into the grass.

The big sister announces the fight

Especially to create the Big Sisters made me. This new type of opponent by adolescent Little Sisters, who should actually protect the Big Daddy s, has cost me a few times. Every time I heard violins and saw the red glowing eyes of the Big Sisters, I knew that I had a long fight in front of me. Nevertheless, I have always enjoyed it when this new opponent type has appeared. The music and staging of Big Sisters were one of my biggest highlights in Rapture.

Anyway, Bioshock 2 brought me morally several times in a Zwickmühle. In the course of my trip, I meet other Little Sisters, who accompany me a bit. In doing so, they suck the bodies the hotly coveted Adam, which not only makes my opponents, but also to be stronger. But I often stood before a serious decision: I pray the little girls, let them die and make me with the Adam? Or I save the children and go with a good conscience, but hardly adam continues? If you want to catch up on the game, then your decisions are good. Because of them depends on how your end will look like.

Holiday under water

As in the first Bioshock, the underwater city of Rapture has also inspired me in the successor. Even more than before, I met new facets of this eerie and yet fascinating world. Marketplaces, underground gardens, railway stations, studios and concert halls. Maybe I would even go there there, would not be on every corner splicer who want me to the leather. Bored, this unique world did not give me a moment, because at every corner I discovered something new or new information about the city found. In fact, I still find Rapture more exciting than Columbia, the flying city from Bioshock Infinite. Because Bioshock 2 has brought me out of me his surroundings as any other game.

A laughing and a crying eye

When I finally saw the credits, I have become very emotional. Yes, I got a good end and yet I have raptured with a certain sadness. My curiosity after the story of Rapture was still not satisfied and the time with my Little Sister was too little for me. Long speech, short sense: I played Bioshock 2 directly again, this time with a bad degree. Like the respective ends I do not want to reveal you at this point. It is better if you have experienced it yourself and asked for you as Big Daddy on this fascinating journey. Best still with a small Little Sister as a companion on your shoulder.

When the game appeared in 2010 I had the impression that it did not get the love that deserved it. Although Bioshock 2 was not so fresh in the approach as well as his predecessor, it has the fictional universe but has many times developed, introduced new characters and rapapture made to one of the most impressive video game worlds. I have learned the big daddy s love And very well enjoyed my second adventure under the water surface. A multiplayer mode was included, but he never interested. At the gaze, he looked neatly, but my focus was clearly on the story. In August 2010, the DLC Minerva s the was postponed, where you play a big daddy without memory. This small extension gave me an even deeper insight into the story behind the Big Daddy and how they are made.

Do not be fooled by the sometimes quiet and slow gameplay. The silent water from Bioshock 2 are deep. Even so deep that you could lose in them.
