one correction if i may: Andrew Ryan didn't gamble when he orders Jack to kill him, he knew that he would die anyway, so he gives the order because he wanted to die a death in his own terms ( choosing his own path not obeying someone command ). He did it believing that this would be a death in a way of his beliefs: about freedom of choice, the very idea of what Rapture is about. A man chooses: andrew chooses to die, a slave obey: Jack obey a command to kill him.

@@C0ZMIK5K1TTL35 It’s been a while since I played the game but iirc Ryan impregnates his mistress and due to her financial crisis she sells the embryo to that scientist (can’t recall his name) and he modifies it. I believe Jack had a body of an 18 year old when he was 1 or something like that.

[@ethanjamesboling8154]

​@@yasambhawanishankarrao4630 Suchong was the scientist! Based on Burial at Sea PT 2 Ryan knew of Jack's whereabouts and mind control functions being put into play by Tanumbam and Suchong. He referred to Jack as "the ace in the hole" planning on using him as a failsafe in case he lost the war, but Atlas, aka Fontaine, managed to get a desperate Elizabeth to kidnap Jack from Suchong's lab and deliver the ace to him instead. Now this somewhat contradicts an audio log in the first game where Ryan apparently had no idea of Jack's existence but seeing as Burial at Sea is Ken Levine's most recent written piece in the Bioshock universe, I would assume it takes precidence in the canon.

[@jonathonsanders1844]

Great explanation but you missed one of the most saddening and crazy revelations of the whole game. Jack wasn't just some nobody, he was the b****** son of Ryan. You get clues starting in the fisheries when you listen to the diary that explains that you have to be genetically related to Ryan for the bathyspjeres to work, you come across the room where you were conceived in Fort Frolic and finally in the Control Center before you face Ryan you literally get the dots connected for you. What makes this twist important is the juxtaposition of Ryan's ideals of exceptionalism and runaway capitalism being undone by his own flesh and blood who was a mindless puppet and slave. To watch the scene where Ryan is trying to use the bonds of paternity to break your mind control by ordering you to beat him to death or break free and be a man was gut wrenching and the most difficult scene to watch. It also was pivotal in subverting expectations. When Atlas' "family" is blown up by Ryan you truly do want to kill him and bring revenge but by golf club scene and the realization of who he is to you, you almost feel pity as he is cowering in his office. Whereas the kinship you feel for Atlas is immediately dissolved into rage as he becomes Fontaine. The Ryan father connection is the cherry to story Sundae!

I'd also like to add that Ryan disabled his Vita Chamber when he confronted Jack. On that topic, If I'm not mistaken, Vita Chambers were also using Ryan's DNA recognition, you hear about it in the labs when you become the Big Daddy. Pretty sure, but I could be wrong.

The Good ending made cry in a good way when I first played it. After the little sisters went through so long being tortured, they can finally be free. The chains broke and they were loose, finally having a taste of freedom. The part that made me cry the most was when the person you were playing as was in the hospital. Having lived a full life, you raised the sisters to be regular people. But it could not last long because of age. As you are at your last moments the sisters held on to you, knowing that you will be gone soon but will still hang on no matter what..

[@crazykingofspades5101]

If you consider the "Rapture" novel canon (which I assumed you did since you used the book's cover art in the video), a few things in this video are wrong: -Frank Fontaine wasn't even his real name. He stole the identity of a fisherman who was delivering things to Rapture during the early years and eventually weaseled his way into the city. He then had a man surgically altered to look like him take his place as Fontaine and altered his own appearance to look like the character Atlas so that he could spread word of unrest and demand worker's unions just so he could tear Rapture up from the roots. -Ryan didn't create the Splicers nor did he control them. Fontaine's plasmids created the splicers unintentionally and their addiction to plasmids were one of the main causes of Rapture's downfall along with Fontaine smuggling bibles into the city and Ryan's "Free Market" not working well in practice. -Ryan had little to nothing to do with the creation of the Little Sisters and the Big Daddies. They were a direct result of Fontaine needing a way to produce Adam. They found that the sea-slugs that created Adam bonded best to little girls and the little girls needed protectors. -(You didn't mention this) Jack was actually Andrew Ryan's illegitimate son. The downfall of Rapture was so much more complicated than people realize. It wasn't just ONE event. It was a collection of little things that all snowballed into big problems that eventually ate Rapture alive. Ryan's belief in unrestricted business, Fontaine's influence and intentional actions to uproot the city and rally her people, the addictive nature of plasmids, Sofia Lamb taking control of Persephone and creating a religious rebellion under the promise of prosperity, Ryan never letting anyone leave. Rapture was a pipe dream from the start. She could never work the way Andrew intended.

Mike WOULD YOU KINDLY do the playthrough again

[@OpwzRouge]

Yes please do I love it!

[@KumaoftheForest]

If you’d kindly

[@kriki189]

This is the best game i have ever played. No game made me to be so engaged with the story and everything. I might play it all over again.

[@lorimartin6819]

I found this video about 6 or 7 months ago. Not only did this get me into the Bioshock games but it's the video that keep me watching your amazing channel. I love how your voice can make stories that are so scary seem so calming🌊❤️

[@SharkGuyLikesLemons]

I love watching mike explain horror games, with damn good graphics, never knew they existed, and without swearing...then I go to my parent to explain it to them. You got me into the horror game fandoms

[@thetads2623]

Would you kindly make more content like this?

[@SelkieKitsu]

BioShock is my favorite gave franchise and I'm glad you are covering it!

[@samuelguzman9143]

thank you! i kept running into a problem with the remastered version where the story couldnt progress, so this video was a nice way to see what happens and move on the the next one

[@stephenhansen1789]

I read the book, which tells you what happened to Rapture, but also how it started. If memory serves me right, Frank Fontain in the games is an imposter who murdered the real one. The mob boss knew of Andrew's plans and wanted in on the action.

[@johnxina6327]

When you notice would you kindly on the note :0

[@simonsejersen6449]

Am i the only one that killed Sander Cohen when i Saw him

[@gbangerlove]

Very possible cause I was black

[@gbangerlove]

I mean cause I saved him

[@royalboyo]

I killed him after he let me go

[@rohitxavier5737]

I set him ablaze the moment I saw him, do we need to kill him?

[@royalboyo]

@@rohitxavier5737 iirc, if you let him live after he does his thing, he opens something up for you. but you can kill him afterwards to get a key to open another thing next to it. :]

[@GhostbustersMx]

Love this game, the city, the story, the music... everything is perfect.

[@ladybloodymoon4512]

I love this youtuber because he does a deep dive in all the parts and is voice is perfect for this job

[@markuwesselman9223]

I bought the hd collection this weekend to play for the first time ever holy crap what a rollercoaster

[@thedreadhalla]

Mooooore bioshock content. This is literally my fave game series

[@jhineral3628]

The best thorough explanation I've seen for the game.

[@davidk6269]

Great job summarizing a very fascinating and complex (arguably over-complex) story line!

[@RFABProductions]

Whose here after PSN released Bioshock as this months Free Game lol

[@adriandinu1395]

One platinum down, two to go fam

[@themadteen1]

ur a piece of shit

[@stacicakessmith]

Me lol just finished 2 gonna start infinite now. I’ve played them in the past but that was like 7 years ago so happy to play them all again you realise and appreciate the story and things more in the games than when you’re younger. For me anyway.

[@Buck238]

@@themadteen1 How?

[@thewatcher935]

Me im gonna in order from boishock infinite to 1 and 2 because apparently thats the order they go in i believe

[@_TheRockyGamer_]

Ooo! BioShock is my favorite series of all time, I’m excited to watch! :)

[@cringecity124]

I just want to say thanks super horror bro you Introduced me and told me the story of this game and I love it thanks you

[@jessikapiche6097]

This game is one of the best i ever played and watching this was like a candy on top of a sundae. Thanks! Great video!

[@AKDN91]

One of the greatest twists in gaming history

[@DitisEmile]

It's so exciting to see you upload a video about one of my favorite games in the world so quickly after I started following you! I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video, but I do have small corrections to some of the things you've mentioned (none of these are very big errors, however, and I'm just being nitpicky because it's my fave)... 4:41 Andrew Ryan did not create the Splicers, Splicers are normal human beings mutated through ADAM addiction (so they technically 'created' themselves). Though he DID end up using pheromones that he spread through the air condition to take control of them, so I'll give you that one! 8:13 While I understand why you might perceive him as 'unhinged', I actually think his actions are completely understandable when considering the circumstances. Not only is he Paranoid, but he is also Completely RIGHT in the end. (But I also understand you couldn't bring it up yet at this point in the video, I just think it's an interesting fact to point out.) 16:11 One of the best 'enemy encounters' in gaming history and icb you left pointing out the fact that Jack was Andrew's son from the video. x'D The Good Ending is the best Ending! I love it so much.

[@gbangerlove]

Oh it’s his son? Huh... that’s how. Because I was saying to myself, how did they magically control this guy in a plane

[@houndrysmagolyteofhope4661]

Aside from the would you kindly reveal, the second part of this story that never ceases to amaze me is the good ending. Because it branches off way more than the bad ending and its an actually good ending. Its amazing how this game can make you tear up at the good things.

[@dawnyphantom6616]

I love these types of vids so much cause you explain everything in a timely manner type of thing but i can never stay focused 😩🤣 i look away for two seconds and the vids halfway done 😂😂

Sackboy: *exists* Big Daddy: *A N G E R Y*

[@supagamea2.053]

The first one was really good. I played this game when I was like 5. I peed my pants 3 times. The first one was about before rapture. Itwas so good, I loved it so much one of the best games I've ever played and I've played about 200.

[@juicebox3604]

Bought the remastered version a while ago and just started playing. So insanely good

[@gamer5535]

Perfectly explained. I completed bioshock infinite. After watching this i Fully understood the bioshock setting. Thanks man 😉

[@brofistbro]

I just realized something. In the end of BioShock, a Frankenstein got to make a family. Think about it, Frankenstein and Jack were both engineered biologically and ended up having feelings. Beautiful story!

[@kaysonjacobson9376]

Dude when I first played BioShock I loved it so much those endings always get me you know the second game it tears up my heart sadly I wasn't able to play the third game

[@alenkrasniqi]

Kayson Jacobson why not

[@acemannitive]

@@alenkrasniqi im poor

[@alienalibi2382]

The third game only serves as an excuse to keep making bioshock games. Wasn't as well written or fun as the first two.

[@donkeykongisbetterthanmari7495]

@@alienalibi2382 exactly.

[@Marscandy1]

That ending was beautiful! Thanks for this!

[@Nero_256]

Thanks mate for the awesome explanation. I wanted to play bioshock 2 and here I am just to recap the story of Bioshock 1...

[@elenal.95]

Just bought the whole collection for my switch. I remember never picking this up cause I was terrified of it when it came out. Needed new/more games for my switch so I had to get this 😂

[@JosephRicciardi]

I thought in one of the audios Ryan said he was gonna blow off the Fontain's meeting about plasmids. This always gave me the feeling that Fontain had discovered the how to use adam and Ryan passed the opportunity to get on board right from the start, which he later regrets. Did I misunderstand?

[@shamble215]

Exactly what I was looking for and then some - thanks

[@gabrielsylvestre3708]

2:53 - Those are called Aristocrats and Commoners. I never played this game before but always wanted to. Knowing there weren't that many underwater horror games especially for the time it came out. This comes VERY close to the underwater horror game I wanted to create.

[@madmanzeek9081]

Funny story my first name is Andrew and my middle name is Ryan I was interested in this game because of this weird Coincidence

[@EagleEye-rw5pn]

A man chooses while a slave obey

[@KumaoftheForest]

Andrew Ryan is a reference to Ayn Rand, her book “Atlas Shrugged” was used as a base for Bioshock....sort of

[@shadowninja1059]

Wow there are so much things we still don’t know about other games like Bioshock

[@cameronsullivan6745]

I remember seeing this game cover in Blockbuster and rented it. Long story short I loved it and wish they would continue the series.

[@alpachino468]

This explanation was simply fabulous, I found myself immersed in the story and details of it so much that I hung up on a client and blamed it on technical issues.

[@Corrrrrupt]

The only sad part of this game for me was that I knew atlas was evil from the get go. He said something which sounded evil and then wanted me to harvest the sisters and I was just like “stop acting you are a villain” But the game is beautiful to me.

[@liggadiggasiggajr8560]

The good ending is so amazing bioshock is one of the best games to be made

[@craigrockford3204]

I've completed this but had no idea what was going on thank you for clearing things up

[@kujda22]

This is a perfect and well done format. I wish you made another one for the second game. It's so bad on PC I cannot play it due to crash/corrupt saves but I'd love to enjoy the story anyway.
