Also it would be fishy telling “would you kindly” every single phrase, Jack may have been genetically conditioned to be a slave but truly he is a man, and a man is easier to manipulate when he doesn’t know it, that’s why Fountaine created Atlas whole family bit to begin with, it endears Jack to believe in him and not doubt his persona, if it was Fountaine the whole time Jack would’ve tried to escape from his grasp as soon as he reached Neptune’s Bounty, tricking Jack was the best course of action

But then why is that relevant if you can control his will? Or was the bathysphere the “family” was trapped in somehow important in itself? Did Fontaine actually consider escaping Rapture with that bathysphere? But why would he need that one in particular? Are there no other? Or maybe that bathysphere had something else Fontaine needed?

@@simonaspalovis1204 It was a setup. Fontaine blew it up himself as soon as Jack got close. It was to keep Jack invested in Fontaine's narrative incase he wasn't around to prop it up. It was also to ensure Jack had invested reason to kill Ryan (killing women and children). Fontaine has no family, and the closest thing he had to a girlfriend you find he murdered later in the game. Jack is predisposed to blindly obey narratives like this, actively ignoring the obvious inconsistencies until they get shoved in his face later. Fontaine knew Jack would GET to the Bathysphere because Jack is basically Jason Borne. You play a clueless gadabout, but are in actuality spec-ops brainwashed to act clueless while also going full Rambo.

The Bioshock games seem to have a certain theme of redemption and regaining humanity throughout the series. Booker's alternate self is shown to be a hypocritical religious extremist who treats her daughter like shit, while Booker himself grows a stronger relationship with the person who's later revealed to be her daughter, and sacrifices himself to prevent other evil versions of himself from existing. Elizabeth was so focused on revenge against killing all the Comstocks left in the multiverse that she loses her powers in her process and loses Sally to Fontaine, and uses the last of her life to ensure Sally's safety and Jack winning the fight against Fontaine. Jack was born a slave responsible for the murder of over a hundred people, but eventually grew to become independent and a savior to the Little Sisters. Delta was also tied to his fate as a Big Daddy, but according to the good ending, becomes a better influence for his Little Sister, Eleanor.

I think the combination of Suchong's accent pronouncing the phrase, the child in the audio clip (as a counterpoint to the player-character's adult voice), and the completely harmless intonation of a phrase like "would you kindly?" make the perfect recipe for misdirection and subterfuge. The puzzle pieces are only obvious when presented all at once, but the pacing ensures that you haven't heard Atlas say the phrase recently. It's a damn shame that the rest of the game can't hope to be this good. I'm not sure it's even possible.

I bought Bioshock as a youngster because the scuba diver on the cover looked cool. Turned to be my favourite game of all time. Groundbreaking

The ending where the girls live their lives is sooooooo heart warming i had no idea Dx

The "a Man chooses a slave obeys" is a paradox to videogames in general, were no matter how open it looks every action or path you can take has alredy been stablished by the games limits. You have no choice but to press a button, you have no choice but to kill Andrew Ryan

Yes, you have that kinda ironic lecture, when the game reminds you that you are only a player in small areas after all. Therefore, it increases your loving of the fragments of liberty you can get. Little Sisters, exploration, optimisation... And to me, Jack wasn't really free all along. It just go to one puppetmaster to the next.

I never got the impression that the scene with Andrew Ryan was where the twist was meant to be. I understood it to be that the room with the words painted on the wall was the reveal. I hit that point and I went "Oh." It was a great moment that allows the player a quiet place to realize what's going on here. The Ryan scene was necessary because you're already compelled to confront him and if anyone didn't realize what was going on, it spells it out.

It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve played this game, it always freaks me out and makes me feel paranoid af when I’m playing. Something about being trapped deep under the sea in a cramped and confusing 40s style building/chamber, really puts me on the edge. Even when I know something is about to pop out and scare the living crap out of me, it still makes me jump.

Something i allways asked myself about your videos: Do you constantly take notes while playing a game? Or do you just record everything and write the script while rewatching the own playthrough?

He definitely takes notes while playing the game. You can tell because of how many times he will say something and then reference that later and go "Hey remember when I said ___? Turns out I was wrong and here's why." Like with with ED-E in Fallout NV where he says you can't save ED-E and then later goes "Turns out you can and I just missed it earlier so ignore that."

Boring gun play and short areas? This is exactly the opposite of what I can say about the game. Besides the story, these are definitely among the best things about the game. The gradual acquisition of new and fun weapons and then their upgrading is awesome. And every area is so much fun to search a look out for the secret rooms and loot, the game is full of them.

ADAM isn't like a transfusion where you add quantities of it to your body (though it does stay in your body when you use it). It's basically a resource used in genetic manipulation. You alter your DNA with every plasmid and tonic you acquire. So as Leland Ensminger said, it's similar to AC logic. The it's not the plasmids giving you memories, it's your own DNA being replicated to that of a past owners of the ADAM.

Nostalgia's biggest issue is the black or white mentality that most people associate with it. It's okay for games to have not aged well as long as you enjoyed them when you played them. "Man Bioshock was amazing and damn near perfect.... for it's time." See the difference? We can't expect the same things to stay relevant forever, and that's okay.

I love Sander Cohen in terms of his personality, the fascinating changes of the level, and the dynamic change of how you interact with everything as opposed to the rest of the game. I just wish that the "other main characters" of the game tied more into the overall story than just coming across like side-stories. Steinman and Cohen tie into the theme of the city going to Hell, but feel surprisingly disconnected from the larger story.

This is my favorite game of all time, the atmospheric feel and look no other have came close along with the amazing well thought out story.

I love that he makes sure we know that "Atlas" says would you kindly every time

Walking by the wall that said “WOULD YOU KINDLY?” is a vivid memory this game left me with! I remember seeing that reading it and then him confirming that I was mind control the whole way through the game. I actually really liked how they revealed this. at the time I felt like this was a reward for paying attention to all of the surroundings and detail of the game world. I remember reading that and going threw all of the conversations I had with Atlas and wondering if that really is what happened and then the voice comes over the intercom and confirms that yes indeed you were just mind controlled into doing someone else’s bidding for the whole game. This is one of the most memorable moments I’ve had in gaming. I will admit I was not the brightest crayon in the box back then, so for me, this felt like a tremendous reward.

Hot on the heels of Fallout 3's success, many of the same ideas were subtly integrated with it's own tech twist. Aimed at a faster, neon oriented fanbase as a FPS it also tackled certain societal issues. Keeping an air of mystery one might find in a noir novel and using a 'karma-based' mechanic of it's own while using narrative and puzzles, it obviously became liked by many with the consoles tech advancing to bring this type of experience to it's users. I myself found it somewhat interesting, so I eventually picked up the sequel, but was never invested enough to finish it. I'm glad others enjoyed it immensely as no effort should be wasted and it's a shame when games do fail completely.

But the statement "refers to me as an angel" is still true; as you can see in the subtitle, which say "Look Mr. Bubbles, it's an angel". Of course the Little Sister then corrects herself when she realises the player character is still alive, but saying she refers to the character as an angel is still technically correct. And I know it's kind of an asshole move to say he's *technically* correct, but so is being pedantic about such a little thing in the first place.
