Everything seems to paint the picture of a Big Daddy as the kidnapper, but it seems something has changed...now they're thin. The 3rd update mentions this. The doll could also somewhat illustrate this. So why would they be thinner now? Maybe I'm misreading something...?

[b] well i got the game early and the thinner version of the big daddy is called a big sister they have this cage type of thing on there back that is covered in bows, thats why in the picture with the big sisters footprints there is a bow in the top left corner [/i][/b]

I am with you though - I was almost more interested in finding the next audio diary from Mark as moving the game forward. Talk about bummed - I still can't believe after building this "attachment" to Mark that we are the ones (through Delta) that would whack him. I speculated at worst that we'd find out that Lamb or a Big Sister had done him in, maybe find his corpse, etc. That would have been enough of a knife in the gullet, but 2K had to throw some salt on the wound as well and let us be the 'bad' guy.

Well, that's 2K for you. However...

A little more "Cindy-Specific" info would have been nice as well.

It's made pretty clear that Cindy was the Little Sister attached to Mark, so in a way, you can make a happy ending for SitS by fulfilling Mark's quest and rescuing Cindy.

A few months ago, I was speculating that even if Mark did make it to Rapture, he would have a devil of a time actually rescuing Cindy, since he wasn't a fighter and had no idea how to change a Little Sister back into a human anyway. We speculated that the final phase of the ARG would be helping with that final mission.

Well, in a way, we were right. We take up Mark's burden and rescue his daughter.

The things I noticed with the game. It almost wasn't scary enough. In the first game you are completely vulnerable, each splicer you encounter is truly a fight for your life, with delta the splicers become far less a threat therefore I don't think they could do as affective fear sequences. And as far as the mini bosses none was nearly as good as Sander Cohen or the first doctor at giving me the chills.

I think it wasn't really supposed to be as scary as the first game. The first game was a horror game, with our emotional stake in the storyline only becoming clear later on, but I think this game was much more drama than horror. Our personal stake in the storyline is made clear from the start this time, so the horror elements are really more fitting... it was always more psychological horror than blood-and-guts horror, but now it's emotional horror as well. The scary elements are less straightforward because everything about this game is less straightforward.

Actually, it wasn't Tenenbaum in Sinclair's vessel, it was Lamb.

Oh wow, I knew that, but I guess I got confused. I wonder what happened to Tenenbaum. I'm hoping that in Bs3, if there is one, that Mark is somehow related to Ryan and came back in a vitachamber lol

I think it would have been nice if the little sister that Mark had would have at least been named Cindy and had blond hair...Of course, None of the little sisters have blond hair so I guess that sorta would have been a big homing beacon.

Did anyone else feel that they wanted to see how mark fared more then Delta?

and wtf happened to tenenbaum? she just kinda dissapeared. and they didnt really explain what she was doing back in rapture

Tenenbaum went up in the emergency vessle at the end of the game. She was the one inside with Eleanor and based on what you did in the game let her live or die.

I really enjoyed the game,

but killing mark not so much. I like how they put us in charge of his fate, but I mean, we spend close to a year following the man and 2K make us the ones to do him in after helping him along and putting our faith in him. I wish there was a way to have him survive in the next Bioshock, that'd be sick.

Anyone know who was Mark's voice actor? I'm curious it sounded familiar. Wish I knew.

It's fontaine's second alter ego.

oh god are you kidding me? i musta yelled out 'anyone here from unforums?' like a half dozen times when everyone was waiting to see the crime scene... it'd have been nice to have seen someone there i coulda talked to. everyone from the 2k forums already pretty much knew each other and clumped into little discussion groups that i felt awkward trying to get a word in edgewise... bah. >_>

I remember meeting you,nice guy,great to meet you.I think you were the one to ask me what IOOP stood for or something around those lines.And yeah a majority of the people there were from the 2K forums,which is obviously why they created their little niches very quickly.

Still it was a great event and it was nice meeting you and everyone else. :D

NOOOOOOOOOOO HOW COULD THEY I WANT TO CRY RIGHT NOW AND AT THE SAME TIME RAGE AT 2K!!!! Not gunna lie though, I kinda saw it coming. I did not, however, ever think that elanor would become a big sister. That took me by surprise. I enjoyed fighting side by side with my own daughter kicking the shit out of everyone. Well done by 2k team in my opinion. Still, I'm upset we didn't have a chance to save the one person who, to me anyway, means a hell of a lot more then delta. RIP

Also, did anyone laugh as hard as I did when they followed the teleportation tonic to the vending tonic to find it froze people in their tracks? lmao
