With great power comes great responsibility, and as a big daddy you’re tasked with protecting the little sisters against pretty much anything you face. Tonics are no longer set in individual tracks, such as physical and aid. All of the familiar plasmids are back, alongside a few new tonics, but the gene bank has had a makeover. The main staple of the gameplay are the myriad plasmids and tonics, and not a lot has changed here. Above all else, hacking is now much more enjoyable. The hacking gun allows you to hack far away objects like cameras and unreachable door controls. Hacking has a difficulty scale, with safes being the hardest, so the pin moves a lot faster and there are fewer safe zones. Green indicates success, blue a bonus (meaning turrets do more damage and vending machines are cheaper), red indicates immediate failure with an alert sounded, and if you miss or hit orange that’s a simple shock and loss of HP. You have to precisely hit the correct colours to complete a successful hack. Instead, a bar appears with various different colours placed on it, with a moving pin and a countdown. Previously, in order to hack a turret or vending machine you had to perform the laborious task of connecting pipes to guide a flow very mundane and very much gone. The research camera rears its ugly head once again, but fear not! It’s been overhauled and now captures video, making research a lot easier. Old favourites such as the shotgun, machine gun and grenade launcher are back, but the chemical thrower and crossbow make way for a spear gun (complete with rocket propelled spears) and a rivet gun, which is particularly useful for setting up traps.
BIOSHOCK 2 DRILL BUILD UPGRADE
As well as your basic ‘Increase damage’ modifier, you can also upgrade fuel efficiency and gain a drill thrust, devastating to even the most powerful of enemies that you encounter later on in the game. Throughout the game, Power to the People stations are tucked away, just like before, but with more upgrades per weapon. This is a great improvement over the wrench: it’s a lot stronger, and though it requires fuel to power, it also serves as a powerful melee weapon with or without. Now, being a big daddy requires you to have the mother of all weapons, the drill.
BioShock 2 surpasses the original in terms of gameplay, with those few annoying creases from the previous game ironed out. You have only one goal in mind - recover Eleanor in order to save yourself.ĭue to the last game being almost perfectly crafted, 2K didn’t have a lot on their hands when it came to mixing up the gameplay. The tale this time around is a lot less complex and fits together nicely. After 10 years of dormancy, you are revived by a Vita Chamber and it’s not long before your little sister- who is actually your daughter, Eleanor- starts sending you messages in psychic form. You play as Delta, the very first big daddy to bond with a little sister. As the story progresses you’ll find out why things aren’t so black and white, in turn making her a convincing villain without the clichés. Despite her fierce dislike of Ryan and polar opposite political stance (as you will find out through the audio diaries), she’s not all that dissimilar to him. Many years have passed since the events of BioShock, but the place is in no better shape than when we left it. When we return to Rapture, the year is 1968. However, slipping back into Rapture, it was like we’d never left. In many cases that’s true, but with such an amazing setting and so many stories that could be told, not returning to this iconic franchise would be a terrible shame. So why the big uproar? Perhaps many feared it would somehow ruin their memory of Rapture, and that no matter how good BioShock 2 could be, it would never live up to its predecessor. You see, many people have taken BioShock and Rapture into their hearts and consider it one of the best, if not the best game to be released in recent years. The mere mention of the name BioShock 2 had us eagerly awaiting our return to Rapture, but not everyone shared our enthusiasm.
