Minor gripe: the farm in Kansas was never an actual place. Jack was just sent to the surface to live for a little while, while Atlas tried to take rapture conventionally. He remembers the farm because Fontaine had most of his memories of rapture replaced, making him think he’d been born on the surface.

@VitZ9

I always just assumed the farm being in Kansas was included as a reference to The Wizard of Oz, because Jack "isn't in Kansas anymore." As for your comment though, I don't think Fontaine had Jack's memory of Rapture erased, did he? I know he had memories implanted of the surface, childhood, and of a family, but I don't remember any dialogue referencing Jack's memory being erased. I remember Jack was genetically engineered to age super quickly, and he was raised by Tannenbaum before he was sent to the surface, but wasn't Jack being conditioned in secret at that time? Segregated from the rest of Rapture and hidden from Ryan and his police force by Tannenbaum and Fontaine? How could he have memories of Rapture if he never saw it outside Tannanbaums lab, before being sent to the surface? I could be wrong of course, would love to be corrected if I am. It has been over a decade since I played the game, maybe I'm getting a little confused. Cheers, and happy holidays. 👍

It still breaks my heart to play Bioshock 2 and walk around the flooding city whitch is now completely beyond repair

To think that all these complex characters, ideas, concepts, were written by a small team of developers, is absolutely mind blowing. The background of Andrew Ryan, and not only him but all the characters, businesses within Rapture, etc. are all filled with information. Shows how much of a masterpiece the Bioshock universe is.

Ryan also distributed a pheromone throughout rapture that made the Splicers subservient to Ryan, thus ending the civil war at the cost of free will

Haven't played BioShock for a long time but IIRC there was an important part of the lore where wielders and construction workers were put into miserable conditions, living in the slums and barely making any money, because their services were not required anymore (I guess all maintenance was done by obedient Big Daddies working for free). And, as a cherry on top of this shitcake, those of them who tried to escape Rapture were eliminated out of fear that other governments will discover Ryan's secret. Yet another reason why Fontaine won popularity among workers so easily.

Yeah that’s exactly true, they became the ones living in poverty because of the lack of work, then as some tried to leave Ryan’s paranoia got worse and so he closed off their escape as well as killed some of those who wanted to leave. I should have included that in the video but yes that is true

The war was progressing in favor Castro during late December 1958 and it wasn't until early January 1959 he entered Havana to the shock of the wealthy Cubans and American tourists. Would this mirror Fontaine's AKA Atlas' revolution in Rapture?

He didn't even want Rapture but to take it's inventions like ADAM and Plasmids, go back up to the surface and sell them to become an insanely wealthy business tycoon. Capitalism is the root of all evil.

Ryan hated corruption but also wanted freedom. Well the freedom to be corrupt is part and parcel of being free, and by extension of free market capitalism as well.

It seems a lot of employers forget that workers are the foundation. There's no incentive for a worker to show loyalty or do more than the minimum required to do their job if they'll be laid off anyway just so the company can please investors with a little bit more profit. Though things might be different now that there's a labor shortage. Once things start returning to normal, don't be surprised if workers are treated as expendable again. Unfortunately, Ryan was an extremist. Things like minimum wage and affordable housing went against his principles. In his eyes, the only people who deserve housing are those that can afford it.

Amazing video bro

Great video mate 👍

Fantastic video! Just want to add to the people saying to read the book Bioshock: Rapture. It goes into so much detail.

There were rumours about one I thought but no sign of one. I’d love to see one personally

@@WiseFish I know there was a film at one point, but personally i would prefer to see a prequel series about the rise and fall of rapture. Such rich lore!

Honestly I would love to see a bioshock TV series that splices together flashbacks showing the fall of rapture and the main story of bioshock.

Even though I new most of the info about rapture before hand, I enjoyed your video and it felt like watching an informative documentary (in a good way if that makes sense?)

So basically, this is pretty much "Atlas Shrugged," just underwater. Got it.

This is exactly what's it's based on, the creator of bioshock even said so. So Kevin knew her society would eventually collapse, which is why Rapture falls apart.

Great video as Always 👌 Not SHOCKing
