TheBioshockHub is so awesome he will pin this
That's a first. He actually did. Not gonna like it, but I'm surprised he did.
He did, I felt like that with Elizabeth then she drowns u I felt kinda betrayed
Love his voice. He felt like the only friend you had out of all the bioshock games
Well him and Elizabeth.
@@sandramoore3790 even though elizabeth is sorta the reason why rapture civil war happened
@@hidan407 somewhat😞😞
@@hidan407 well they didn't have a choice
@@creepingblu2302 what do you mean?
Sinclair, never betrayed us on his own accord and free will. A real one
Bro know he going to die still sticks to his plan and helps Delta he goated asf
@@motivationenthusiast6521 💯💯💯💯
Am i the only one who cried when he died 😢 i love him frfr
Furthermore, he got captured and turned trying to save you
@@Grac3AndP3ac3 i agree.
Kinda interesting how Sinclair probably embodies the spirit of what Ryan wanted people to achieve with Rapture the most, yet was ridiculed for it. He wasn’t a silver spoon artist or sociopathic scientist, but just a clever and savvy businessman who found practical solutions and profitable ventures where no one else even bothered to look.
I think that Sinclair's death was one the most deppresing video game deaths
Ever played life is strange
@@loggers5246 Ever played Burial at Sea Episode 1 & 2?
Scarce Here yes
I was pissed and depressed when I had to kill him
@@loggers5246 no, it's trash
Sinclair had a great redemption arc. I like how all the audio diaries point out to how much of a money hungry bastard he was but in the end he truly wanted Eleanor and Delta reunited.
he even comes to save delta, which is hinted at by lamb, i wish he would've just stayed in the train.
Even as the story progressed and audio diaries from both various people and the man himself revealed what a shady bastard he really was, or rather, that he was just as dirty as everyone else in the city, I still couldn't help liking Sinclair. Maybe it was the smooth way he talked. I was never really clear on why he initially wanted to help you reunite with Eleanor, but especially at Inner Persephony when he was turned into a Big Daddy and pleaded for you to save Eleanor and show her the sun, I truly felt he was being genuine.
In his case I think he was supposed to represent how even a good man could be brought so low in a city sinking into its own shit. Now I know your going to say but he did bad things and was unhonest in his dealings, and the answer to that is ya. Their were no honest men in rapture, because they were the first to be picked off. Sinclare survived until it didn’t matter if you were good or bad anymore
@@kevind3974 Actually I was gonna say that everyone in Rapture, to some extend, was a dishonest shithead. But yes Sinclair was definitely an example of how even low scum could be redeemed.
He was supplying "willing" test subjects to be turned into big daddies, he wanted to redeem himself by helping delta. He was one of the few people in rapture who had a conscience
Yeah in the end he gave up his last bubbles for others good man.
I always thought he may have known Eleanor as well. The game just tells us what it needs us to know to make comprehensible decisions and everything else is left out, and as ruptures biggest entrepreneur it's not a strange conclusion that he could've met alot of the other big names and potentially their kids. Also we have no idea who Eleanors real father even was so I like to think that most if not all male characters from this game are fair play because all the people you meet are from the rapture era that Eleanor was born in and she WAS born in rapture so who knows.
This guy is why I use the phrase “Holy Moses” so much.
Sinclair is a legend.
TheBioshockHub indeed he is!
😂😂🔥🔥
Gotta say there was a certain discomfort killing a dude who share my surname who was also the only friend I had in this game... RIP Augustus
Rip Doug Boyd as well
My wee boy is Ryan Andrew 💙 I swapped the names as I prefer the name Ryan out of the 2 but my brother is Andrew 😁❤ I think I wanted to avoid my bairn being bullied over his mammy naming him after the dude in her fav video game 😂
Dude you forgot to edit out the gun turret part hahaha you sounded so frustrated 😂
When I had to kill Sinclair for the first time, I was in tears. I was looking for a way to not kill him on the internet because it felt like there was a way to get the key without him dying
It would've been so nice to have an alternate way out... It was such a damn shame.
I did try to use the big daddy plasma (forgotten the name) to hypnotize him, but even if you got him fighting alongside you, the game wants you to put him out of his misery.
Yeah I was super disappointed when I realized the only way to get the key was to kill him. I walked around the map for like 20 min the first time around looking for alternatives in disbelief that I had to take out my homie Sinclair. He was definitely my favorite character from any of the bioshock series.
I once read on the Bioshock Wiki that the game designers had originally wanted to make it optional to save Sinclair, unfortunately the wiki article also said that they had to scrap the idea in the end.
@@FlashtheFirefoxBioshock 2 had a lot of cut content, and that has to be the worst loss of them all.
This was a very interesting video. Augustus Sinclair was definitely an interesting character in BioShock 2. It's a shame they didn't show more of him besides that short scene and audio logs.
Sinclair’s death is right up there next to Elizabeth’s death. Truly freakin sad because he was like your best friend in the game.
“We gonna get out of here and gonna own a private island!” Dude like hell yeah!
I always liked Sinclair, I loved his voice and he was always intelligent but likeable, never failing to bring a smile to the player. seemed like the only friend you truly have in the Bioshock series.
I literally just ran in with my two upgraded robots and Eleneor and started shooting randomly. Honestly, I had no idea what was going on during that whole fight.
Going Terminator mode, I respect it
Sinclair was a pretty nasty guy in terms of morality, yet so charming and likable. He really cared for Eleanor, and maybe even for Delta (even though it seems to me that he only helped Delta because he considered Delta to be Eleanor's only chance for freedom.) I'd love to be able to tear Sofia Lamb apart for what she's done to him. I didn't harvest any of the little sisters nor did I kill the NPCs when given the choice, so I guess Eleanor will save her from drowning, but I'd love to be able to give Lamb the same treatment she gave to him.
he was coplikated, he seems like sellfish dude, but honest in his own way
@@petrsukenik9266 Yeah, exactly. He stated explicitly what he was and what he believed in. And later subverted player's expectations entirely. I'm still not over the fact that he actually got caught because he went out looking for Delta. I've stumbled upon a theory on reddit that suggested how he could still be alive, implying that there were several inconsistencies in this segment of gameplay, which might mean that the guy we killed in the game might not have been Sinclair. Like, why would Sofia allow him to communicate with Delta and see things through his camera and stuff like that. (Although I perceive it as a kind psychological torture, seeing your friend killing you from his perspective,or, probably seeing yourself killing your friend). Basically it was like: "Someone else was in the costume, because splicers didn't actually manage to get Sinclair, who saw what was happening through Delta's helmet and decided to play along to trick Lamb into thinking he was dead." While unfortunately it seems to good to be true due to number of reasons, it made me realize that without this sacrifice Sinclair would have remained a charming bastard with no character development nor any redeeming qualities which would have made him a lot less likeable. Funny thing is, when he jokingly said about Delta "our tin man had a heart all along", he kind of described his own character arc. In the end a cynical, materialistic and selfish man, who lived by the idea "you won't catch me blowing my last bubble for any other personage - plural or singular" sacrificed his life trying to help Delta save Eleanor. To me that's amazing:)
@@user-hm8ub2kd4wthat is how good stories are made
I miss Sinclair. Also love the new profile picture! You should do a video on how Ayn Rand helped inspire Bioshock.
I might be able to do that. And thank you!
You mean something literally every Bioshock fan knows about? Few years too late on that video
I love sinclair's accent
Augustus Sinclair is one of Bioshock's most well-written characters and I'm still so upset he (and all of Bio 2's lore basically) didn't pop up in Burial at Sea. I think he would have been a beneficial person, even for a few seconds, in letting Elizabeth know that Rapture isn't all that it seems, and possibly giving her help or advice on morality. I think his desire to help others stems from his own self-sufficency- he does have genuine compassion because he sees himself in others and wants them to excel to their best like he did- even if it comes out almost in an exploiting manner. I just can't get over his charm and ability to maintain himself in a hostile world, and create such a strong personality. I wish he, and Bioshock 2 as a whole, were talked about way more, and I feel he holds as strong of an ability to be remembered alongside all the other Bioshock main characters.
Who else had big trust issues when they first started playing Bioshock 2 after completing Bioshock 1? Especially on Sinclaire lol.
This whole franchise makes me cry,especially when it comes to Elizabeth
Val Elizabeth is the worst part about it
*S* *I* *M* *P*
Love the fact that you explained how to kill/reach Sinclair
I wanted to go in depth as much as possible
I love how many options you had when it came to reaching him. Finding the whole code in 2 different ways, being able to find audio logs with one half of the code, being able to find the maintenance tunnel with the drawing on the wall or just randomly, or opening up the backdoor of the watchtower. They put so much thought into this one era, and it's really impressive.
Yes, that was correct Augustus Sinclair was a business man. Right before Fall of Rapture. Subject Delta was control and kill himself by Lamb in 1958
. There is Sinclair Solutions Home Consumer Reward Program from Multiplayer Apartment in 1959 and After they have reach Rank 40 and they heard there was explode plus airplane, Jack will com to Rapture begin.
In 1968 Eleanor sent little sister to find Delta's body life from Vita-Chamber. Sinclair was hiding in Ryan Amusements and contacted by Tenenbaum. He will help Delta quest to find Eleanor.
Lamb orders splicer to find capture Sinclair and became Alpha Series, Subject Omega (Symbol: Ω) controlled by Lamb. Like Mark Meltzer became Big Daddy Rumber.
Both Sinclair and Meltzer are brave hero man so sorry. They should get more power and weapons like Jack did.
Sinclair made Bioshock 2 change my mind
Firstly, love the mess ups. It will show us how you grow with the channel. The chronological order audiotapes is awesome!
I think you forgot to edit your mistakes out ;) Otherwise fantastic video man, this is solid narrative work and served me perfectly while I ate my dinner haha
I was under a lot of stress last night, sorry about the mistakes.
@@TheBioshockHub hey don't worry about it man, I wasn't sure if you knew or not so I thought I might point it out. I honstly think your videos are great and your voice is pretty paletable so you're nice to listen to. Like a favorite radio channel. Keep it up man :)
Learned a lot from this video, thank you Eric, especially a lot of nitty gritty on Sinclair’s background in Panama.
Keep up the great work. Love seeing a new video on my fav series.
Gotta say- I am a lore JUNKY, and you hit this out of the park. I love that this channel focuses so closely into some amazing (and some of my personal favorite) games of recent history. Love the Bioshock videos, love The Last of Us vids, I cannot wait to see what else you cover! :)
Thank you! I try to make these videos as well as possible and I'm just glad I have people/an audience who enjoys and appreciates what I do. Again, thank you
"Ladies and Gentlemen."
Me every time I hear that: Who came in?
I was legit in tears when I had to kill him to the point that I was trying to find a way to spare him but there wasn’t ;;-;;
Hello I just found your channel, Bioshock 2 is my favorite game of all time and I just got the entire PS4 collection. Apart from that, I love Sinclair and I cried a lot when I had to kill him, both back then and now. Bioshock 1 and 2 share my favorite spot in terms of gaming. So thank you for giving more reasons to love him. Apart from that I adore Eleanor and Delta’s story, it makes me cry to this day.
Well, welcome to the channel my friend! I hope you enjoy your stay here. And yeah, Sinclair got to my soft side too.
Heyy sport!! Very well done!
Hey bro aren’t you dead?
Sinclair’s death was the most upsetting (besides Booker’s death)
Who's Booker
@@terpshinobi7683 The protagonist of Bioshock Infinite
Great videos and great channel. Keep working cause you're doing a great job!
Thank you! Will do!
I'd love to hear more audio logs in the next Lore video. Its a nice touch
I'll do my best!
Keep up the amazing Bioshock content
Why would he ever stop..? XD
There was to be a 2 ending where u could save Sinclair but the actor who voiced him passed away before it could be done
Where did you learn this
he's still alive
I recently replayed it and the fight was over relatively quick. The hacked turret in the other room killed him, which I didn’t know it was capable of doing.
It skips having to find the 2 parts of the code as well.
💯Dude i love your videos sooo much they are entertaining and i always Learn something new from the game! 💯
I think sinclair regretted what he was throughout his life, so he tried to make up for it.
I needed this cuz I was so curious why he just appeared in two and to see if there was explanation why he wasn’t in one at all. “I played this game a long time ago so couldn’t remember”
No problem! Hope you enjoyed it
AWESOME VIDEO! Also have you done a full playthrough of all 3 Bioshock games on your channel?
Could you do a video on Grace Holloway, i don't think much is known about that character! Keep up the good work man!
I might be able to
Hey BioShockHub! Good morning and your awesome. Love ya bro!
Had such a hard time trusting Sinclair because of the ptsd from Atlas and then mourned his death 😩
I felt that too when I first played it.
In Persephone, I came across this Alpha Series Big Daddy that was attacking me and killed him with two or three grenades. Then I wanted to loot him and looked at him and his name said: "Subject Omega". I thought: "I remember he was stronger in my earlier playthrough.".
I love listening to all three games of audio diaries. I find it really relaxing
I wish there was a way that I could order all of the audio diaries to tell the story of the Bioshock games.
@@TheBioshockHub that would be amazing. I have faith in you my friend!!! Keep up the great work
He is the main thing I recalled from BioShock 2 after my first play through
Just the accent. I wish we could have actually saved him.
I have about five channels for Fallout lore, this is my one place for Bioshock lore. Thank you.
Sinclair was greedy and sleazy, but he was also open about it and had no reason to lie to Delta or try to betray him. He in a sense started as cuttthroat-capitalist like everybody else who succeeded in Rapture, but aftermath of civil war made him much more pragmatic towards enlightened self-interest. He liked making good deals and knew that happy customers are returning customers.
5:54 you must hate that barrel
I still love the fact that you still review this awesome game
I'm glad people enjoy it!
It has crossed my mind today that if Eleanor managed to revive Delta and give him free will, It would probably be possible to do the same for Sinclair, wouldn't it? Only finished the game several days ago, so I'm still not through all five stages of grief:)
You would think that. Have you played Minerva's Den yet by chance?
@@TheBioshockHub Not yet, but I certainly will, thank you for reminding me! I've also heard that there's a book about Rapture, not sure if it's something worth looking for, though. Books inspired by movies and games usually turn out to be a huge disappointment.
@@user-hm8ub2kd4w The book is really well done. I'd recommend it.
I think Sinclair was overall a good person with some big mistakes under his belt, yes he contributed to the war but Jack did as well. Just like Sinclair, Jack played both sides of the civil war for his own reasons with good intent. So why should we hate him more than Jack?
Sinclair framed Lamb to get her out of the picture WITHOUT killing her (unlike Ryan), but you know what Lamb becomes because of Sinclair's kindness? The new dictator of Rapture.
Sinclair was hated by Ryan for being too kind to his community, by creating a market for the poor to work but losing profit in doing such. This kindness failed in the same way that Scampia's did, bad architecture. It created an environment in which secrets and crime could be easily committed so the people there adapted to the environment.
by Bioshock 2, he made terrible mistakes but stayed 10+ years in the hell created by them. He wasn't as cruel as Ryan but his kindness was genuine unlike Fontaine.
Bio shock 2 was my favorite. Everyone hates on it but I’ll always love it
your better than the biggest RUclipsrs
Thank you Sidafa
Only thing I would prefer is instead of the audio diary symbol it was the speakers portrait. The video was great and very in depth
There weren't too many Hi-res photos of him. The one in the thumbnail was the best one I could find and even that was a bit choppy.
Perfect
This is my favorite bioshock 2 character 👍
Same here
Would be cool if you had bloopers of your misreads.
Oh yes please dude I would like too here other diaries in the near Future
Your voice sounds ever so slightly like Jello Biafra- that's a compliment.
Well, thank you
I didn’t trust him for most the game (was wary after bioshock 1) but when I learned he had been turned into a big daddy and showed some morality in the face of death I forgave him for what he had done in his business life.
Oh, his Big Daddy name is Omega? Noice!
Yup!
audio book cool idea
Great vid, but I still dont understand why Sinclair stayed in Rapture all those years between Bioshock 1 and 2. And if he left, why did he come back?
You guys can bitch all you want about Bioshock 2, but you can't deny that Sinclair was definitely the best company/guider of them all
Bro I wanna know who johnny topside was and what he looked like
A concept art of some sort would've been nice.
Why did the video skip and then replay like 3 times
Poor Sinclair he was a good man:(
great video! sorry i've been gone too long!
No worries Bella.
Would that mean Augustus Sinclair was the main reason Johnny Topside took part in the Big Daddy experiments?
He had a part in it, yes.
@@TheBioshockHub Well, that adds a bit of irony to the whole thing. Even though I sympathetic towards Sinclair and I enjoyed his company in the game, his backstory really paints him as a rather selfish and arrogant individual, who couldn't let go of his industrialistic ideals even when he had the last chance - instead planning to make profit off the wonders he would bring to the surface. I imagine, does he feel remorse for what he's done when he meets Delta or was it just an attempt to use him as a way to get out of Rapture.
Truly an emotional rollercoaster, come to think of it.
Sinclair is great shade-of-gray character while not altruistic still honest
I adore him as a character.
Anyways, I wish he was more in the game and you had different choices. Evidently, his role was supposed to be bigger since they even made a model for him and there is also this video of him tied to a chair, dying in a flooded room which has been cut.
@thenioshockhub great voice its kinda deep but kinda good
To bad in all the endings of bioshock 2 Sinclair still becomes a alpha series and you still have to kill him
I wish they added some alternate choice.
Me to I mean he helped you get through rapture so I wish if you did something right you had a choice to save him
Jim dandy
The Mark style of video is better to me (edited).
I can't help but like Sinclair, yes he maybe self serving but you can't argue with his spot on logic. :)
Sinclair is one of my favorite characters :D
I can see why, he is a genuinely great supporting character. It's such a shame you have to kill him at the end.
Just played Bioshock 2 from playstation plus and loved it! Spoilers but I let everyone that I could live and found it tragic that the only characters to die were Sinclair and Delta (as well as Mark so that I could save Cindy)
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'd HIGHLY recommend playing Minerva's Den
TheBioshockHub oh yeah I just played it; it was short but pretty emotional. I can’t wait to start and finish infinite so that I can watch more of your videos
Hey there sport :(
I dont like killing other big daddies in the game seems kind of wrong after all there only job is to make sure those poor little Adam mutated girls are not brutally murdered by some adam withdrawal junkie and his mutated lackies
And the fact playing as ones yourself and rediscovering your identity of being essentially kidnapped super soldiered and brainwashed you gotta feel some sorta pity that their still under that psychological manipulation
Is Sinclair lore friendly character? And does he own Sinclair Spirits in Fort Frolic too?
Yes and Yes
@@TheBioshockHub Because he was mentioned in Vita-Chamber diary Suchong mentioned "Sinclair and Alexander tried to explain their science to me..." but Sinclair was not scientist or involved in such scientific things, was he?
@@davdkio11 No sir. Sinclair was a very intelligent businessman
@@TheBioshockHub So he was directly involved in Vita-Chamber research? And dont call me like that Sir.
@@davdkio11 Yes, to make money off of it.
Sinclair deserved better
12:57-13:03 and 13:35-13:43 - what are those pauses?
A man chooses, a slave obeys, and I’m 100% a slave, so that’s why I’m going to leave a like on this video
I appreciate the like, thank you.
*Spams F In Chat*
I like too look at a man and give him my word you And me Kid where Going places
I felt bad when Sinclair died
May I ask why you didn't just cut out those two fuck ups where you read wrong and restarted?
Why did you go off on a random gameplay tangent of how to kill omega? Lmao did you copy the entire script from the Wikipedia?
*Edited:* Thought the voice actor died, and accidentally spread false info, sorry y'all
I DIDN'T KNOW HE PASSED AWAY... oh no.
TheBioshockHub he’s alive though? There’s been no death announcement and all his profiles are still active
@@VinDakota I need to fact check more.
TheBioshockHub hehehe dw I nearly died when I scrolled past that comment too 😅
TheBioshockHub love the vids btw! Been binge watching em 👌👌
Would you kindly drop a like on the video
Jokes on you I already broke the mind control
I used to escape to Rapture regularly. Especially when the ex was actively trying to destroy me. Rapture is sanctury to some.
Thank you for this dude. I love all the characters so the indepth videos are my fav ❤
I'm so happy you were able to get away from that Lynsday, I hope all the best for you
@@TheBioshockHub thank you for your kind words hunny ❤ me and the kids are thriving now, that was years ago. The only thing that's annoying me right now is the fact that I've only just recently discovered your channel! You deserve more subs for the level of content you are producing. Your channel 'fits' into my wee Scottish ADHD brain! The format, your narration and the explanations are perfect! Thank you ❤❤❤
Second
First
IMHO he was quite boring. i had zero care about him, if it was tannenbaum then i would definetly care.
