It's kinda of sad when the ARG set up to promote the game has a better storyline than the game itself. I'd have rather played THAT story as a game instead of this one.

Poor Mark Meltzer. Went through all that trouble to find his daughter, only to find out she's been turned into a Little Sister. Then Lamb turns him into a Big Daddy, so he could always protect her... at his request. Damn man... that's better than all of this crap about Johnny Topside.

I'm pretty sure she gave him the choice...

But i was disappointed that you didn't get to meet him except as a corpse...

Yeah I liked BS2. I liked the traps and stuff, and I think the nerfing of big daddies was on purpose, because the real challenge is dealing with the little sisters. I had the problem with overloads of resources but I was playing on medium, so that I'd get something out of playing it again on the harder difficulty.

Played on ps3, ran like silk.

The biggest challenge of Big Daddies was finding ways to get MAX XP for them... which because useless when they auto-spawned. On the game's hardest setting they were literally easier to deal with over say, the normal splicers. Time and time again I would take them down without getting any damage. I felt Bioshock 2 was a poor man's version of the first, there were interesting things done and i LOVED the spear weapon, headshot kills flying into distant walls, was beyond words of awesome to the point i forgot all other weapons. I already discussed what I hated about the game.

It was decent... but nothing overly memorable.

Well anyone saying it's bad is wrong... but having a villain that's exactly what she seems was a step down... especially since everything she did was well within the boundaries of her philosophy.

And the Big Daddies could have stayed as tough if they only made Delta stronger the Jack, he's a BD's too after all... and the Big Sisters could be even more powerful too.

Big Sister's were nothing with any sort of buff to your drill. Drill charge and pin her against something and it's over in like 5 seconds.

I knew i should have gone for the drill... but i am in my 2nd playthrough... which i haven't continued for a few weeks now...

It did never seem right to me that even with the upgrades, your drill carries enough fuel for only about 15 seconds :p

But you hate shooting games.

Yeah, it's a shooting game where you can avoid the really hard shooting by setting traps. Pretty sweet. As opposed to Batman which is not only a twitch game but you really only can maximize your xp if you are a master twitcher. For chrissake, you know? I'm not a nerdy potato chip munching troglodyte who does nothing but sit around in the basement for days at a time practicing twitch moves on his fricking console. I have a life.

The more you talk about it, the less I actually believe that you played Arkham Asylum...

^This^

Arkham Asylum is not a hard game by any measure, nor is it a twitch game... and considering we all seem to agree that you have NO idea what your talking about, maybe you should just find an easy game somewhere else?

I have no idea what you are talking about :whistling:

But really, I've been drinking. Thats my excuse. I honestly have no idea what word I was trying to use there.:wtf:

Well, let's see. What would take longer to master, which by your logic is what defines making someone a basement dwelling virgin. Mastering a twich game, which takes a few hours at most, or playing through Ultima, which is a game that you said that you loved? I get it, you don't like twich games. that doesn't mean that you have to be a raging douche to anyone who disagrees.

Also, Bioshock is about as twich oriented as you can get, so all around, you're not using any sort of earth logic to back up your statements.

If by Escushion's "fire" you mean awesome sauce, and if by your "fire" you mean some random clip from Southpark that has nothing to do with the topic at hand or has any merit/entertainment value, allowing you to "fight back"...then yes. Utterly and completely.
