Bioshock Infinite Adds More Big Daddies That Are Not Big Daddies
Irrational just posted a second video examining the “Heavy Hitters” of Bioshock Infinite. The first Heavy Hitter, as you’ll remember, was Steampunk George Washington Terminator, and was awesome. These new guys are the Handymen, who are dudes trapped in large metal suits which make them incredibly powerful… so… pretty much Big Daddies, albeit Big Daddies with big hands instead of big drills or big rivet guns. Honestly, I was hoping for more founding robo-fathers, but I assume the Handymen don’t preclude a Steampunk Ben Franklin Terminator that shoot lightning from his eyes (still crossing my fingers on that one). Meanwhile, can we all agree to call these guys “Big Handies”?
