Yeah. I guess Irrational Studios figured that nobody would ever follow a woman down to the bottom of the ocean for whatever reason so they made it a dude -- and you know what, there is enough violence against women in everyday life and video games.
Actually, with the "little sisters" being in the game, I guess they assumed that you could get away with extreme violence towards kids but not kids and a woman antagonist.
Either that or someone decided that if you want to have a cramagram of a name that happens to be female you best turn it around and go male.
The game continues to be amazing and fills me with real adrenaline at night. Which is probably not good, because I need my sleep.
I think this game kills any chance that I'd enjoy a WWII game, which was already fairly low. No man, no group of men can compare to fighting the (cringe) big daddy (cringe) enemies in the environments that this game displays.
The random assholes walking around throwing pipe bombs in the air are amazing, and they are nobodies. "Spear carriers," as Eric Mayer would say, heh.
It's unbelievably satisfying to throw a corpse at someone and kill them (in the game). You can knock a bad guy out and they will be stunned on the ground and the game will tell you if they have any hit points left and when they don't they get back at and have at it.
And I probably need to put together a spoilers thread. We'll make this the non-spoiler thread.
Have you obtained the "enrage" plasmid, which has the bad guys go and fight each other, while you chuckle up your sleeve and hide? I used that a lot at the seafood place.
