Wow, so... When has crucifixtion come back into style? Half of you are taking this personally. Im not sure why but... Ok!
Anyways, I have never seen this holy grail of a trailer, this B-Roll as you all call it. In fact I have heard of it, I have look for it, I have never found it. I heard that Irrational was even doing all they could to take it off the internet so I kindve thought it contained some massive spoilers to the game so I kindve figured I didnt want to see it. Excuse me for not seeing ALL of the trailers and reading ALL of the interviews and not asking Ken Levine personally about this game before drawing conclusions but I kindve thought that out of all the trailers I have seen and all of the times I have seen the Little Sisters as normal little girls without glowing skin and two-tone voices that those were how the Little Sisters were supposed to look. So I think its safe to say that I didnt jump to any wild conclusions as you all claim.
Look at it from my point of view, not from the glossy eyes of a disturbingly devoted Bioshock fan. I hear about the game containing little girls to whom you can freely brutalize. I think to myself, "What kind of game would let you walk about setting little girls on fire? To what purpose would that serve?" So I go out and I do a little research and while doing said research I find this place. Later it comes to my attention that you can no longer hurt the Little Sisters but instead "harvest" them. I think, "Man. That really kindve takes away from the morality of it all when instead of having to actually HURT these little girls, you get a cuddly little cut-screen that takes away from the shock of it all." But seeing as how I didnt know a whole lot about the "harvesting" process, I didnt say anything. Eventually I learn that it isnt as cuddly as I thought it to be so my fears were put aside and I was fine with the decision they made.
A few months later I hear that their bodies dissappear after you harvest them. I think, "Well why did they do that? How am I supposed to feel bad about ending the life of this little girl if I am not allowed to see the repercutions of my act? Seeing the lifeless corpse of a dead little girl staring back at me would do some serious damage and I probably would avoid that from now on. But now... Who gives a ****?"
NOW! I watch this video showing the Little Sister with a voice change AND glowing skin and you all sort of expect me to just be ok with that? To keep faith in Irrational after all of the changes that they did with the Little Sisters? How should I have reacted to that? I dont have an manual. I dont have an emotional roll-e-dex. When I see something that offends me I react to it. Its sortve like, ya know, human nature. So please, put down the torches and stop the "Irrational good, Addicted bad!" mantra. I didnt take anything out of context and I have seen enough footage and read enough articles to form an informative decision.
