Heh.

I ended up having to sort of... harvest the Big Daddies just then.

Didn't plan on playing Bio2 but have really enjoyed this, and so I may hold off starting XCOM 2.

Burial at sea is brilliant. There's a song playing in one of the kitchens which is pulled from the shining. The part at the end with Jack torrance and the photograph. :wub:

Fabian Delph is a banana split.

that's "Midnight, the stars and you" by Ray Noble & Al Bowly. Love that song. Some of the Incidental music in Bioshock is lifted directly from the Shinings soundtrack (at least I'm almost sure it is, either that or they ripped it off)


That's the one. Just left the game while the song was playing. The start of episode 2 as well with Elizabeth in France is ridiculously tranquil.

Just on the final fetch quest of Bioshock, gonna leave it there and move onto part 2. Gameplay really drops off after the big moment.

Don't remember much of the sequel and never finished infinite or the dlc so it'll be much more motivating.

Wish my image sig would work

You need to finish Infinite, others hated, I loved it but it's interesting either way.

Wow part 2 is like the Hollywood remake of part 1. Combat is loads better, as is the hacking. I like the little sister system much more in part 2 as well.

Forgot about the rivet gun and the trap ammo. That's sheer joy to use.

The big daddy animation seems better in the sequel too.

I feel betrayed by the game.

Video may be spoiler-ish as it hints at a late* game mechanic.

*Late and oh so very gooseberry fool

The gobshite pest just will not shut up. If anything, he's even worse than before! :cry: :x I've collected all the bits in Prometheus, so how much longer until my suffering is over?

This reminds me of vanilla WoW: fetch quests (latest one was fine) and now a escort mission.

Not much longer left to go. Unfortunately, the end is definitely the game's weakpoint, gameplay wise.

Much of post-reveal gameplay content should have been left on the cutting room floor, that or heavily edited, as it were. But I find that now in so many of the games I play.

I don't feel all *that* invested in the game world and so see nothing 'horrific' in it.

I think harvesting also rewarded me with more ADAM than saving them (on the spot at the very least, if not down the line), and so it just made sense to me.

You didn't need to do a search to find that out, the game basically tells you, harvest for an immediate higher Adam pay off, or rescue for less Adam, but to get another pay off later in the game.

Yeah, I wanted to see what the pay off was. The search informed me that it wasn't worth it.

Each time you get presents for not murdering them you get Adam and other stuff, I think the gap between them is tiny. And you get stuff after each area.

Not getting the bad ending wasn't worth it?
