second times the charm

there will be SPOILERS xoxo

following episode 1s weird setting into rapture yet again and a really strange l cliffhanger shall I say we are back in the shoes of elizabeth this time as soon as I saw her i said i always wanted to be in a woman no sorry that sounded weird delete delete

after the disappearance of booker and the sudden realisation by elizabeths part that shes actually just going fucking crazy she is going to try to make things right and get this fucking girl back yada yada

but first ! sorrow

when you open the game you're met with a beautiful view of Paris and I was like damn she finally got to Paris im so happy SYKE back to fucking rapture and depression

now I love rapture but since elizabeth always wanted to go to Paris so much seeing her hallucinate about it really did something to my mental sanity I love elizabeth so much I wanted her to be happy ughhhhhGGHHHHH

ok anyway talking game

elizabeth is back to her shenanigans no im not gonna talk about the art direction here since its the same as episode 1 yeah rapture is beautiful we know that and you're gonna get back to columbia for like half an hour so that's cool too I guess

accommodating the fact that shes not booker the gameplay also shifts to this sudden change this dlc won't focus anymore on chaotic melee or long ranged fight but more so on a stealth perspective now all my fans know I fucking hate stealth because I fucking suck AT it but there's a good thing to consider which is the fact that most of the AI enemies in this game are as stupid as they can get so if they see you they won't follow you anymore ! neat

so as I was saying the new mechanics revolve around this youre gonna spend most of the time sneaking around and to clear a room of enemies you can either use sedatives or like shoot them in the face I initially thought using firearms would be pretty obtuse but they're handy AF since again the AI is dumb so yeah and then some more distraction tools or plasmids for the sneaky sneaky purpose

do I like this new stuff ? not a huge fan but at least its easy enough so that I won't kill myself and is also pretty in character since of course elizabeth isn't gonna take as many bullets as booker (as seen by the fact that she can also bring more first aid kits too) so yeah I mean I liked this change of pace

so yeah that being said the story umh

im not a huge fan of the way this ended up unfolding but damn is it good to see bioshock 1 lore and bioshock infinite lore clash like you're introduced again to atlas and get some little foreshadow here and there of him actually being fontaine or like the way big daddies went from monsters in the eyes of the little sisters to father figures like that's interesting as shit as you're also gonna meet some recurring characters in the series and actually see elizabeth interact with them likeeeeeee what's this a crossover episode ?

so yeah the lore unfolds in the lines of elizabeth gets blackmailed from atlas to do some bad stuff and also get almost lobotomised (yes that happens please put CW next time i was so fucking uncomfortable and i have a pretty strong stomach i played saya no uta and subahibi who do you think i am) and so she becomes his puppet to do spooooooooky stuff like shifting realities or getting secret data and shit

sure it's interesting not gonna lie about it but kind out of context and also a weird way to retcon stuff from the original bioshock 1 but I love elizabeth content don't @ me

so yeah thats the general idea this is probably longer than the first episode and way more interesting I gotta say but that ending dear fucking god yknow seeing elizabeth dead on the ground did something to me I was restless shes probably my favorite character out of everyone in bioshock and seeing how she suffered from most of her life just for her to suffer some more honestly why do are you doing this to me

the part where she goes booker you were my only best friend ???? NAAAAAAAAAH I'm out you did my girlie dirty as shi

so whatever after that ending that mada me tear my hair out I mean at least bioshock 1 and 2 and minervas den do have a positive conclusion why THE FUCK did you make elizabeth just for her to feel pain I cannot do this shit anymore the final song in French since she still wanted to see Paris and never Could do that ? I'm hunting the developers of this dlc TF down

umh so yeah it was a trauma but I was good im glad I played this series since its pristine as shit l nothing comes close

I just wanted for booker and elizabeth to go happily to Paris together why could I not have at least this elizabeth im so sorry for everything
