Your character in the game arrives at Rapture via a plane crash, as you all know. What I can't figure out thus far is whether your character is just a random dude who happened to survive a plane crash and end up at Rapture, or whether he was some agent or something who deliberately flew to Rapture, only to have his plane crash. Or something else? |
My impression is that he was indeed a random dude. Tbe idea that he just sat around waiting for his plane to turn into an exploding fireball so he could infiltrate Rapture doesn't really stand up to suspension of disbelief.
Then again, I didn't get too far. It's a lavish game with wonderful atmosphere, but I hate shooters where you have to scrabble about for ammo, terrified of wasting shots. I play a shooter to shoot things, not to whack them with pipes and wrenches. Likewise, the ADAM currency seems to be in limited supply. Also, it was frustrating that fighting a big daddy is a nearly certain death sentence (perhaps multipel times) unless you found some way to kite-kill it.
