Ha ha ha FUCK THOSE BITCHES. I did not get teary eyed over the idea, although I did rescue every little sister because Jso was going to see what the alternative was. The alternative is you don't get like 100 sweet sweet delicious gaemurpoint achievement points. So the game is clearly judging anyone who does not rescue every last one of them. Excluding the annoying ass bitches who get themselves killed when you are supposed to be escorting them through the special little sister doorways near the end.

Although there was one single part of the game I had an emotional reaction to, and that's the part where Andrew Ryan uses your brainwashing to make you kill him. It was kind of dumb on his part but the scene itself I thought was pretty creepy and bizarre. The actual code word stuff was just surprising to me, but when it's actually used to make you kill someone without your control, I thought that was a pretty good scene.

I got tired of having too much ammo all the time and eventually started firing it off into the walls and blowing money on shit I didn't exactly need (more ammo) because I hated not picking up every little thing because I felt that would just screw me up for my scouring if I kept leaving shit around.

-Bioshock wins where Half-Life 2 loses with the gravity gun telekinesis: objects you pick up turn transparent so you can see in front of you. Half-Life should copy this immediately.

I was okay with the transparent thing so I wasn't blocking my view except when I would pick up dead chicks to look up their skirts and it was all transparent so I couldn't see the loving detail they did(n't) put into their underpants.

-Early on in the game I thought to myself, "At least the enemies don't ever pretend to play dead." Lo and behold...

-Hephaestus was the worst area in the entire game, and commited multiple video game sins.

• The first time I moused over one of the quarts of gel, I knew I was going to have to pick them up for something. But, of course, you can't until the game tells you you need to. Then you have to backtrack through respawns.


• Ditto for the parts off of the Big Daddies. I killed 3 of them before the game told me I needed parts off of them (which aren't available to loot beforehand), and naturally the corpses disappeared. I shouldn't be penalized for doing things early.


• Respawns were out of control, particularly when assembling the EMP bomb. Collect a set of parts, run back to the workshop and, HEY!, 2 enemies playing dead. Add the part to the bomb and run upstairs, and LOOK! 2 new splicers in a room I cleared. Repeat EVERY FUCKING TIME I got a new set of parts. Why didn't they just say, "don't come back until you have all the parts."

I also did that with the big daddies, and I went back to one of those stairways where I knew I killed one and of course it was gone. It didn't even leave a lockbox like most of the enemies do.
I didn't care about respawns, because they were nothing I couldn't handle, and I was always having the same problem that the bad guy from The Last Boyscout had (my gun had too many bullets in it).

-Was the bee swarm plasmid worth anything at all? Like everyone I'm sure, I picked it up just so I could create reenactments of Nicholas Cage in Wickerman, but it seemed to not really doing anything except annoy enemies until I shot them too many times. I stopped using it the second time a Big Daddy walked too close to a splicer being attacked and picked up bees too.

Yeah the bees thing was worthless, it distracted enemies until you got their attention again, so it didn't do any killing for me. Also, that's the same problem those dumb static field tonics have, if you get hit while standing too close to a big daddy you'll agor it. I don't need that shit in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Stealth plus wrench tonics were beastly.

Jso liked that stuff also, but I preferred guns. But it's pretty cool that they do give some good options for people who want to melee fight the whole game. They definitely made it viable.

-Why is it I could stand 10 inches from someone and hit them with the upgraded damage shotgun, but it would only knock off a tiny fraction of their health?
