BioshockGAME.OVER!
Beat the game by pretending to be a Big Daddy (snappy dresser and all) and letting the Little sister's all come to me, attracted by my Big Daddyness. Followed the little tyke through some locked doors, defending her from a horde of splicers and machines that don't seem to understand that 6-year old girls aren't considered a thread. Then again, if I saw 6-year old girls wielding oversized syringes, I'd turn on the gun turrets too.
After protecting said 6-year-old, she gave me her syringe and I made my way to Fontaine. I must say, over-splicing is good for his health but not his manhood. For a naked glowing man with a brooklyn accent, he's not "packing heat".
Anyway, defeating Fontaine by sticking my big needle in his body, draining the questionable juices, and repeating. once I beat him, he kicked my ass only to get stabbed to death by a horde of little Sisters. Again, nothing more dangerous than a child. Got the good ending where I raise the young girls as step-daughters. Sadly, that's not a premise to a bad adult film (coming soon: BioF***, where "Big Daddy" takes on a whole new meaning).
Replayed a 2nd time to try and get the evil ending. But apparently killing a little girl with my bare hands and letting 2 others get violently slashed by splicers doesn't qualify as evil. Kinda like how getting a D+ still qualifies as a passing grade these days. sigh... Anyway, watched the evil ending on Youtube and moved on.
Now for a mini-review. This is a great game but with some glaring flaws. There's numerous physics glitches where corpses will shiver non-stop or keep moving, causing me to waste ammo on already dead enemies. The difficulty is laughable, Primarily due to the vita-chambers. With no limit to revivals and no cost of such, there's no difficulty at all. My battles with Big Daddy's weren't so much about "can I survive this battle?" as it was about "after I die, will he still be here by the time I get back". I'd waste a half-dozen lives just running to the big daddy, whittling him down, dying, and returning to the battle. Bah.
Can't say much for the whole harvest vs rescue system either. THe gifts given by the girls actually made it MORE profitable to save them than to harvest them, taking away a good amount of strategy and decision making.
The plasmids themselves were somewhat questionable. In truth, I could have played the entire game with only telikinesis and Electric Bold. Winter freeze was worthless, the insect swarm caused more harm than good (the bees would undoubtedly attack a big daddy I didn't know was in the next room and send him after me), and the cyclone trap didn't do nearly enough damage to be worthwhile.
Still, this is a great game and one I really enjoyed playing it. I just really don't feel a need to replay it again though. For all the options, there's very little I'd want to change on a second trip through. oh well...
