What Am I Playing?

Assassins Creed II

As I Finished Bioshock 2...*SPOILERS*

I looked at the screen in despair as the character I had played for hours had died as he made it to the surface, the destination which would be his grave and his paradise.

The Big Daddy (Delta) players take control of what was a character of few words, but was portrayed through his actions. There were many times where he had to defend himself. He had to fight off the deadly ADAM-addicted splicers that roamed Rapture with a number of bigger baddies like the Big Sisters and other Big Daddies. He had to resist the temptations of the anger and hatred that Rapture spilled through the veins of almost all its residents.

The choices gamers make as Delta affect the ending dramatically. I won't spoil that for you, but I will say that as being the big daddy, I selected the choices I felt and knew were right.

After I saw the results of my deeds I was heart-broken to find out that the place I sought freedom was the place I would die, and so soon at that. But I saw what was done and made amends with the idea that Big Daddy is always watching his little sister, even if he can not walk with the breeze which he craved for his family.

Delta, rest in peace with the times. It was a great moment we shared in Bioshock 2.
