Atlas Shrugged is not without its issues, but the hatedom for it is fascinating. It's almost at Rand Woman Bad levels. Her ideas really bother them and I think that's because they sense some truth in them.
Seeing as Bioshock was entirely about how wrong she was, I'd say Rand Bad is a very true theory.
Bioshock 2 managed to also say utilitarianism and collectivism were bad with the same vitriol, while also proving "Some Rand Good."
Probably one of the many reasons why many called it "bad" at the time.
It was so “bad” that Ken Levine stole the father and daughter plot point.
And did it so much worse.
Elizabeth wasn't a character. She was a fake try hard "cute" thing to force you to get attached to her because the entire story fails if you don't love her. She is annoying to deal with, and her combat potential is only bandaiding the god awful setpieces.
Eleanor grew on you over the course of the game. She went out of her way to help you despite the risk, and sincerely loved you. And when you free her, she basically solos the rest of the game for you.
