Who Was Fontaine? | BioShock: Remastered | Ep. 2

[@glenroberts9831]

I'm loving your playthrough, you are picking up on so much more then other playthroughs ive seen. keep in mind hacking and enemies get tougher as you advance through the levels so camera research and tonics def. help with that . oh and a nice tip...IF you break the 1st aid stations they will give you 1-3 free kits.

[@Cynthetic]

I really wish I had learned the 1st aid station trick sooner. I did realize this after a 1st aid got broke in Arcadia though.

[@lefishe5884]

Definitely be overly cautious on saving. I almost stopped playing when I lost 2 hours of progress because I wasn’t manual saving and the game crashed

[@Cynthetic]

I have learned this lesson the hard way.

[@digitalxdan]

Watching you piece the story together makes me feel like a complete idiot. Half these clues went over my head the first time I played this game. Either way pretty entertaining walk through

[@JellieBelly]

Cyn, I'm re-watching your Bioschock playthrough to keep myself distracted while really sick. This playthrough and the Mass Effect ones made me a subscriber a while back. Thanks for providing us with such great content and how dedicated to the story you are rather than just skip through everything ❤❤

[@ozogozo]

Winter blast is worth getting because you can freeze turrets, cameras etc and it slows the fluid when hacking.

[@Cynthetic]

I learned that a bit later unfortunately.

[@StudioMod]

Eh, it’s actually the most worthless plasmid because it destroys loot and if they unfreeze, your progress and damage is moot.

[@camy_dev]

I randomly found your playthrough. I think its really impressive how much of the story you are piecing together on you first playthrough, I never noticed that people were saying long live Atlas in the first audio log and I listened to it so many times, so many clues I didn't realize were there.

[@just_Sundy]

I never stopped to think about ANYTHING when I first played, everything sailed over my head like "OoOoh bOy shoot game!! WOW Gun go BANG BANG!" I'm on my tenth playthrough of this game and you're discovering things I never knew about on your first that's really impressive!

I just found you out the other week, and I love your pkaythrough of this game. You're so positive and carefree. I love it. I hope all is well!

[@ssj4cap]

Hey. Just found your channel. I love the Bioshock games and watching people play it for the first time. Great commentating and you have a great sense of humor. Thanks for the content. Subscribed and liked.

[@BreitheNua]

I'm jealous of your perceptive abilities with this plot lmao. Picking up on things I never even noticed both in lore and in-game (and I actually *wear* my glasses during streams [this is not meant as self-promo to be clear]). You even suspected something about Jack's genetics that I never even picked up on til the plot told me lol

[@orthochronicity6428]

I'm really curious to see how much of the story you piece together before it's revealed. You're very observant. I've played this game many times and love listening to the audio, but I've never noticed what you what you heard in the first Diane McClintock diary and definitely a lot of other things went missed on my first play through. I've never been quick enough to take that splicer's picture upon entering the entrance to the bar, and I don't think it's intended for you to do so. Getting the message from Atlas telling you to go back to Fontaine Fisheries and then immediately him longing for his wife and kid and imploring you to help (instead of in reverse and separated), definitely makes it take on a very different tone.

[@Cynthetic]

I figured out a few things, but I didn't get the full picture until the Hephaestus reveal. It was fun to try though😅

[@denniswilkerson5536]

There’s no way you haven’t played these games before, if you haven’t then you are the smartest gamer in the world right now for picking up on all this new information you are receiving and translating it into viable and accurate theories

[@predetor911]

Ok I cannot stress this enough but you NEED to take more pictures of enemies to help you against them. Try not taking the photo too fast, wait for the reticule in the centre to focus (if the reticule is spinning that’s the best time to get a picture) photos of enemies while they’re fighting (attacking) will earn you a better score, photos of the dead will earn you little. Take pictures of all enemies, Splicers, Big Daddies, Bots and the enemies won’t get harder to deal with. Also make sure all you weapons are reloaded before going into a fight (especially against a big daddy) look around for what could help you and make sure you have the right ammo equipped.

[@Cynthetic]

Yeah, see the problem was I didn't know there were multiple upgrades per enemy type. Originally thought it was a one and done situation with the camera. I don't think I realized this till Hephaestus.

[@Greybeard101]

You are a very astute gamer :-) I wish I'd have picked up on so many details when I played through the game for the first time back in 2007. A year or so back, I bought the Remaster and played through on Survivor mode. There was a certain satisfaction in beating it at that difficulty but, personally, I wouldn't say it was fun. "Hard" was a good choice by you. However, what got me through was Winter Blast (recommended in another comment) and Natural Camouflage (a research reward). No one's mentioned Natural Camouflage yet. Don't ignore it when you get it. It can be incredibly useful. Anyway, I look forward to Part 3.

[@Cynthetic]

Winter's Blast becomes my go-to when I finally buy it. I love that plasmid.

[@npc386]

i like your theory in the ending! u were already very close at this early point in the game, very impressive again 👍

[@anneleenvangils]

Loving your playthrough. I've also recently finished playing BioShock (PS4) for the first time and I love seeing other players discover the game. I don't see the need to point out all the things you could've done better. I mean, the beauty of a first playthrough is discovering all those things, am I right? Hell, you're doing way better than I did the first time LOL. Looking forward to binging the other episodes and other vids as well!

[@Radwar99]

Tips to get better scores with the camera. - The closer the enemy is the better, zooming with the camera to get a closer shot is recommended. - The more the enemy is at the center of the frame the better. - Taking a picture while the enemy is performing an attack. - Taking a picture while there are several enemies in the frame. - Other than doing more damage to the enemies, you will also get some tonics and other bonuses at different levels of research. Like the grenadier will have a certain % where his grenade can be a dud. - Little Sisters gives a small increase to your health and eve. - The Tonics Photographers Eye and Photographers Eye II can be stacked which gives you a bonus of 25% to photography scores. Every time you take a picture of the same subject the score will be halved.

[@robertmurdock1848]

If she follows your other tips the Photo. Eye tonics would be unnecessary, you should have no problems getting all the upgrades in a reasonable amount of time. Other tonics would be far more helpful than the Photo. Eye tonics.imo

[@Cynthetic]

Thank you! You guys are probably gonna get annoyed if your waiting for a lot of camera action. I didn't realize there were multiple research bonuses per enemy until Hephaestus.

[@cosmicdraco7041]

Absolutely fantastic playthrough so far cyn, also love that you call the bots Kevin. Keep being amazing

[@Fez8745]

a little sister can survive a pile of rocks and ruble falling on her. As long as the slug lives. They're practically indestructible. They heal any wound or injury. Rip the slug out tho...and thats it.

I just finished this game a few weeks ago, loved it, playing #2 now. The voice acting is the best.

[@Cynthetic]

It's honestly so good! I'm looking to start B2 on Monday and I'm very excited.

[@aaronatkinson177]

What about infinite

[@robertmurdock1848]

I don't know if they "fixed" the glitch for the remasters , but you can get an extra little sister in each of the next 4 areas , starting with Neptune's Bounty. Two of them are relatively easy to trigger in normal gameplay by "accident" , the other two require a little of a "spolier info" to trigger the precise actions to get the glitch.

[@ThePellefantman]

"How did i get 2 Kevins?" Well, when one Kevin loves himself very much.. an albatross flies in through your open window and poops out a new Kevin

[@SpicyPsyDuck]

You are doing the right thing rescuing all the little sisters, I won't spoil any actual plot but it does affect the ending.

[@edwardallen4916]

Great fun! Keep taking photos until you get a message that the enemy is fully researched. The rewards are worth the trouble with some really useful tonics.

[@sumgai848]

Damn. A lot of people miss this because they don't sit still, but while you listen to Masha's parents recording in their room, the end of the message causes weird psionic static that opens a secret compartment for a new tonic behind them. Should you play it again, check it out. It's a neat little bit of theatrics.

[@cristianaraujo5858]

Yeah you gotta remember to save often, auto save is not very reliable.

[@GriffinPilgrim]

"A nasty piece of work" is the answer to your question.

[@LioGunne]

I just noticed, after watching a couple of your videos, but... you look like Scarlet Johansson. 😊 And by the way, the theories you've come up with are very close to home in this game.

[@sirfijoe450]

Honestly as far as the brutality of their transformations are concerned, big daddies have it even worse than little sisters. At least little sisters can be saved. I'm watching this playthrough late but I'll be damned if this isn't one of the best BioShock lets plays I've seen in a long while.

[@robwwail5546]

The game is loosely based on Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

[@kalzekdor]

27:22 Man, it hurts me to see AP rounds used against non-armored enemies. Loving the playthrough so far, regardless.

[@Silentreaver]

It always broke my heart every time you had to take down Mr. Bubbles :( The Little Sister crying for the big guy is heart breaking :( And yeah, he's not a bad guy and hostile, only when provoked or when a Little Sister gets harmed. Definitely a must getting all the Little Sisters in the area the rewards from the Little Sisters are worth the effort. And I think you can hypnotize and kill a Big Daddy.

[@Cynthetic]

I felt so bad for Mr. B in that moment! Their relationship is kinda cute even if it is coerced. Also, I'm unsure if I can cause Mr. B damage after hypnotizing him. I know I can't hypnotize a Mr. B when it's with it's Sister and I think they turn hostile regardless if I cause them damage.

[@MyShalora]

@@Cynthetic You can hypnotize a big daddy when he has a little sister, the little sister just runs away. If you damage them, the hypnotize ends and they attack you, so you also have to be careful with gene tonics like Static Burst. You hypnotize a big daddy, he's your friend, some splicer hits you, your static burst goes off, hits the big daddy, now he is attacking you too. If not damaged by you, though, when the hypnotize wears off, they just wander away and go back to looking for little sisters. The big drawback of hypnotize big daddy (since having a big daddy fighting your battles is *way* OP) is that it takes your *entire* Eve bar. Which can be cool if your bar is almost empty, but when it's full, dang, it still uses the whole thing. It's pretty wasteful. I never bother with it.

[@jackcoleman1784]

You're missing a lot of opportunities to take photos. As you increase your photo ranking you increase damage dealt to particular enemies and eventually you unlock custom genes/plasmids. You can take photos of literally anything that has an A.I. in game including Little Sisters. Also when you take the photo you're just taking it right away instead of letting it focus which doesn't get you nearly as many research points. Let it zoom in and focus first. Lastly you're wasting a lot of ammo destroying cameras when you could be hacking them. When they're hacked they trigger alarms on enemies and summon bots that are friendly to you. Just some suggestions.

[@Cynthetic]

Thank you for the tips! Didn't realize there was multiple photo bonuses per enemy until a bit later. I think it's around Hephaestus that I use the camera more. As for the cameras, I destroy them to save a bit a time. The friendly alarms are helpful, but its also just time consuming if the camera is located in a low-traffic area that I likely won't return to. And I've been maxing out on ammo and money so using resources to take out some cameras is honestly just a preference rather then a strategical choice.

[@jackcoleman1784]

@@Cynthetic Word ^_^. They were suggestions so by all means stick to a play style you enjoy I just wanted to make sure you were informed. Love the series keep it up ^_^.

[@MyShalora]

"Why does he want these photos?" Because it's a mechanism to teach you to use the camera. 😂 What's even sadder about Masha's story is that when you find the bodies of her parents in that room, if you stop and look closely, there is an open bottle of pills spilled on the mattress, which strongly implies that they decided they couldn't live without her. Their little story is just so sad.

Late to the party, but at least i don't have to worry about spoilers lol. That said *SPOILERS IS YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED* What I came to say is that at the time this game came out, very few friendly npcs/questgivers were bad guys. We had never really had our expectations subverted like this before... It was new to us. I know that I myself never caught on... Total surprise when the curtain was drawn aside.

[@Kayjee17]

You can help your "Kevin" by deactivating it and then reactivating it - the old "turn it off and back on" thing that seems to work on most electronics. :) Also, the Kevins don't attack unless someone attacks you.

Thanks for the tip! Gotta save the Kevins.

[@megaherd619]

You're playing the game smart but a word of advice. The camera is extremely important, especially on the harder settings. Take pictures of everything and everyone, splicers, turrents, security cameras, etc. The bonuses you'll receive will help you greatly.

[@Cynthetic]

Yeah, I didn't know there was more then 1 upgrade per photo of an enemy till a bit later. I thought it was a one and done process at first.

[@mzergcampos1684]

Tip. You need to save manually its better and you will avoid losing time.

[@RubicGirl]

Hypnotize Big Daddy is the most broken plasmid in-game hands down. But it has a few conditions to use it effectively. The best way to use it is just to pitt Big Daddies against each other. They aren't very effective body guards in large due to the fact that the ai can be easily distracted and not always attentive(exact opposite to the lore ironically enough). Not to mention they only retaliate much like the security bot ai and can not actively defend the player. And if you accidentally hurt the hypnotized Big Daddy, then it will turn hostile. For all these reasons, while it is an effective and cheap way to whittle down their health while dealing with other enemies, the time constraint plus the eve cost of 'everything in the tank' makes it not ideal for that use. If, however, you use it for Big Daddy fights? Then we're talking. If you get the tonic Bloodlust(hitting with wrench gives you health and eve), then it is even more cost effective. But the ideal scenario is that you have two Big Daddies duke it out until both are low health, then focus on the non-hypnotized one which preferably has a Little Sister(since hypnotized Big Daddies can't have Little Sisters)and then you have a wandering Big Daddy with low hp which basically means a free Little Sister and the Little Sister of the now deceased Big Daddy. All with minimal effort and the cost of a single eve hypo(none if you have bloodlust and used the wrench to deal with the Big Daddy). And since Big Daddies' corpses hold big payouts, then the cost is negligible. A little side note about using Bloodlust and meleeing a Big Daddy. Big Daddies will aggro to you if you deal enough damage fast enough. What 'enough' means will be up to you to figure out. Still it may be worth it to experiment as the Hypnotize Big Daddy and Bloodlust combo is the least costly and most surefire method to slay Big Daddies.

[@gabrielwatson5981]

37:47 Cool. A Redguard.

[@garyballard179]

A good action shot is to light a splicer on fire, then take a picture. There's three levels of research for each enemy type, as I recall. And that's three bonuses for each type - and the bonuses get better at higher research levels. Take photos of: Thuggish Splicers (with pipes and wrenches for weapons) Leadhead Splicers (with guns, obviously) Spider Splicers Nitro Splicers (Grenades) Houdini Splicers Machine Gun Turrets RPG Turrets Sentry Bots (Kevin) Cameras Big Daddies 'Rosie' Big Daddies Little Sisters

I'm not sure if you can accredit individual blame. I'd say Ryan was shortsighted of the inevitable when he created his utopian enclave.
