I was really looking forward to bioshock 2, untill I found out that you play as a big daddy. They were great enemies, but I really don't wanna play as one! I wanted a continuation of the firsts story!

It really too early to say if the game is disappointing, given that it's not even out yet. The first one wrapped up nicely at the end, so I don't think it would work to continue it. The only disappointing thing is that they felt the need to make a sequel in the first place, but it looks different enough to not feel like a retread of the first game.
How can you continue the first story? Your character
I am very much looking forward to being the prototype Big Daddy who can escort Little Sisters and fight the awesome looking Big Sister. The graphics look even better, the new locations sound great as do the weapons and upgraded plasmids.
It's not like they stuck you as a random Big Daddy and you just wander around Rapture, you are a free-thinking person who has access to both Big Daddy weapons and Plasmids. You can intimidate enemies with the drill and combine plasmid attacks.
If anything, I think it looks better than Bioshock because they can use it as a reference to improve upon, whereas Bioshock was a new game (in terms of physics, controls etc.) so they can make everything that much smoother.
As long as the story is as good as Bioshocks then I think it will be amazing.
died at the end on a hospital bed after freeing the little sisters, or ended up killing people by releasing splicers.

I'm disappointed that there even is a Bioshock 2, I wish that the gaming industry would realise that just because a game sells well, it doesn't mean that it always has to be made into a franchise.
Bioshock was a great stand alone title and I can't see how they're going to do anything but ruin all that they built when they made Bioshock.

I think Bioshock 2 looks very good, the idea of playing as the first big daddy sounds fun and violent.
I'm disappointed in the fact that they felt they had to place MP in this.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for MP in a game in which it suits. Bioshock, to me, doesn't suit Deathmatch etc..
The whole attraction of Bioshock is that it was you against the City, not you against others.
It just seems to me that MP is an easy way out for developers to try and fight the trading in that's become so popular. I'd rather they just put a download code (or soft installation for first time start ups, anything along this vein) that contained the last level or something similar to curb the trade/rental market.
I'm yet to be convinced of this, Bioshock was a done deal. Stories tacked onto the end of a finished one don't work, in whatever media its attempted in.
EDIT: Upon reading a couple of comments above mine regarding "how cool" it will be to a Big Daddy: Do you not release that what made them "cool" in the first place will evaporate when you yourself are one?
A mystery is alluring until you've solved it.

I don't know I just don't feel exited anymore. I don't even feel like buying it when it's out! I found that it will be kinda lame to play as a "prototype" big daddy. Also I have a feeling the story will suffer alot because of this D:Machines Are Us said:
To me it's all an indiana jones tradgety. They could have done a great story, but they didn't. I dont know yet, but I'm alredy dissapointed 
You still can fight other Big Daddys, I believe, and the Big Sister, for sure.
Don't make assumptions until it's released.

When I heard about Bioshock 2, I thought the same thing. Seems to me like they're just leeching off the success of Bioshock 1 with a half assed story and throwing in some inevitably poor multiplayer just to be sure that people will buy it. I could be wrong though and I hope Bioshock 2 is awesome, I'm just not getting my hopes up. George Lucas springs to mind.
Hold on, have you played the game? I assume you must have if you already know they didn't do a great story.Dude wheres my companion cube said:To me it's all an indiana jones tradgety. They could have done a great story, but they didn't. I dont know yet, but I'm alredy dissapointed
Being the thing you try to destroy takes fun out of it. Would you play a shooter where you play as a terrorist? (other than counter strike) plus, no plasmids!TheFacelessOne said:
This sounds a bit like someone complaining after playing Halo 1, "I think Halo 2 is going to be boring beacuse you get to play as the Arbiter."
EDIT: well, at that point, "as that elite bad guy"

What has me worried is the sheer number of companies they've brought on. Could be a case of too many chefs in the kitchen, each with their own take on the recipe. Of course, I genuinely liked Bioshock, and I withhold judgment on the second game until I play it.
Oh dear, it looks like somebody jumped on the defence platform a bit too soon doesn't it?delta4062 said:
Did I, at any stage make any comments on the individual developers? No.
I believe what I said was (in summary): Multiplayer doesn't suit Bioshock in my opinion; the story of Bioshock is done. I even explained the reasons why I believe it to be case.
I, unlike you it seems here, am fully aware of what I discuss before I voice opinions.
You're right, they'll probably change the audio diaries for crystal skulls and the Little Sisters for Ewoks.Dude wheres my companion cube said:
