It came to me when I first played this game that Andrew Ryan was probably one of those people told in life that "If you don't like it then build your own damn city." Well now he's down there; laughing at them.
Ya and look how it went for him. His belief system is the reason his city failed and he died. Rapture couldn’t even last a decade before it collapsed lol.
If anyone finds out about the game or if you tell them the phrase, “Man chooses, a slave obeys” then they will no longer obey to you. Believe me, I tested this on one of my siblings.
After seeing him as Quark and hearing him as Dr. Nefarious in Ratchet and Clank for so long, it's almost hard to believe that he's also Andrew Ryan. Fantastic job by Mr. Shimerman.
I just watched The Shuttlepod Show with Armin Shimerman where he mentioned that he voiced the character. I was shocked that Quark was in Bioshock! Amazing!
A season for all things. A time to live, and a time to die. A time to build ..... AND A TIME TO D E S T R O O O O Y Y Y!!!!! BOOM Fuck that is perfectly delivered. Writing & voice actor are amazing
@@DoctorInk20 how do you know that? He only says my child as a fact I think. I don't think there was any sentiment in what Ryan did, but I'd be interested to see how you've concluded that ☺
@@TheRealJDC Yeah, in hindsight I probably shouldn't have phrased that as a fact. XD Well since you ask, here's how I see it: Ryan, despite his jealousy of Fontaine's success and lack of hard evidence on the smuggling, was resolute in sticking to his principles of objectivism and free enterprise. He knew Fontaine was guilty, but he couldn't prove it, so he had to grudgingly bear it. Now, it makes sense to me that Ryan - a man of such colossal ego - would be broken not just by his greatest rival taking his position as Rapture's top dog, but by taking _his flesh and blood._ _His progeny and legacy._ Fontaine exploits the system to get under Ryan's skin and it works. He snaps. He may not be _overtly_ sentimental, but he's still human and that's a bridge too far for anyone. Why else would Ryan have *murdered* Jasmine Jolene? He could have just angrily walked out and left her. But considering the circumstances, he's a man at the end of his tether. A man trying desperately to keep control of his dream. A man betrayed by someone close to him, when he was already paranoid about everyone being in Fontaine's pocket. At that point, it's no longer business. Now it's personal. Ryan takes down Fontaine, 'nationalises' Fontaine Futuristics and kills two birds with one stone: He's got the ADAM and reasserts control _and_ he can secretly go looking for his child (or what's become of it), but runs into a dead end. The Civil War breaks out and has to focus on keeping Rapture from imploding. Then two years later, some gaddabout in a jumper with a wrench shows up causing havoc. Sure, Ryan initially thinks Jack's an agent or a looter, but after the submarine explodes, you see his thinking change. He starts piecing together a bigger picture. Then you get to _the "Would You Kindly" room._ The notes, photos, audio logs, everything Ryan could find regarding his child come together with Atlas's radio messages to Jack. He clearly knows what's been said and finds a pattern: _the phrase._ The same phrase that he knows was used on his child. An unsentimental man would not have any bones about killing a random stranger. But his son? Not on your life. Sorry this was so long. XD

Its a bug that happens sometimes it makes a quote repeat it self or makes it just say the same thing over and over again it happen a few Times for me and its Kinda funny to hear
“Why...that sounds more like...a miracle” At that point I was starting to question what I was doing as the player. I was so naive on my first ever play through that I believed Atlas and what he said. I felt I was actually right there within the game. This is why Bioshock is a masterpiece.
@@XXBASSOON1STXX maybe in america but here I've gone through three schools and a university and never heard of atlas shrugged before. hell, my mother librarian never heard of it
Regardless of what progressive intellectuals will blather ceaseless about in their red brick, Ivy League towers, capitalism has not been a cornerstone of American life since Coolidge. Like Andrew points out, our National religion is the mandatory carrying of the poor on the backs of the successful, regardless of how they got there (half the country doesn’t even net contribute to tax revenue). I don’t find it surprising at all you’ve never heard of Rand. Certain parts of the left think she’s what they call a “reactionary” and therefore hated. These high society eggheads have about as much favor for the survivors of communism as the Muhammadan does for the apostate
To be fair Fontaine tries to knife you right to your face. Andrew Ryan was more of the, lurk in the wine cave and have lackies do stuff for me, tyrant. Fontaine got his hands dirty. Which is worse? Not sure. That's what makes the storyline so good, the protagonist has a knife coming at him from every angle, even the sub characters.
those weren't the only lines where he warns us of what's really going on. before, in smuggler's hideout, he doesn't say anything that suggested he knew that Atlas' "Family" was in the sub, Ryan thought you were going to use the sub to escape. he even outright calls you an assassin. (which you are). and earlier in Hepheatus, Ryan states how improbable it is for a plane to crash land right by the lighthouse that serves as the only entrance into rapture from the surface, with nothing but ocean for MILES, just by chance. especially when you already know Ryan went to GREAT lengths to keep Rapture a secret from everyone.
How did I play this whole game and not realize this was the voice of Quark from DS9?! Well, to be fair, Ryan sounds nothing like Quark. Great voice acting.
Andrew Ryan was someone I always wanted to meet when I was a kid when he said the first line. His words of what you have work for you will be rewarded with thing got me thinking a lot. Because us who are poor and had work so hard for things we wanted ended up being stolen by others
My fav too and the speech after the sub blows up "You ooze in like an assassin and then you try sneak out like a theif, who are you! why have you come here!"
Principal Snyder (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) back in the day for me. To imagine he has such power behind his voice acting...he’s completely blown me away
Even if you don't have an actual boss fight with him, even if he isn't a master planner like Fontaine...Ryan's indomitable will, resolve and intellect makes him into one of the best villains in gaming history. He would prefer to kill himself just to prove to his would be killer that their success would result in something much worse than him...and this makes villains like Ryan into some of the most dangerous ones.
I think Rapture can be a representation of the destructive capabilities that man possesses and the importance that of things like morality have, of which Rapture lacked. While I can understand Ryan's point of view in regards to man's inevitable destruction, probably by our own hands, Rapture goes to show that having morality keeps said destruction at bay for the time being. It'll come. Just not as fast as it did for Rapture.
The very first time I played the game, it took me until I was about halfway through to even notice that he had an accent, and after I noticed it, I never could not again. It's subtle and a very very good one. The more you think about, the more awesome you realize how awesome Armin did as a performance. You can hear the Russian accent come out slightly when he's ticked off, but most of the time he sounds American, which, given he only spent his childhood in Russia, which was probably.. let's say 10 years. So according to the official wiki, since during the events of Bioshock, it is 1960, and he fled to America in 1919, we can estimate his age to be around 51. So 41 years in America, and around 10 years in Russia, long enough to pick up the Russian accent in Russia, and long enough for it to fade to the point it only comes out sometimes now.
Andrew ryan is the only villan in any stories that actually scared me which I had nightmares about it for like 6 months straight. Now I hear "The man choses, the slave obeys" whenever anyone asks me for help. I think i need theraphy for that, I can't unhear it, now i need help.
I am Andrew Ryan and I an here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? No, says the man in Washington, it belongs to the poor. No, says the man in the Vatican, it belongs to God. No says the man in Moscow, it belongs to everyone. And No says the man in Columbia, it belongs to the white man. I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose, Rapture!
This game had a real problem with the audio dialogues. A lot of the time I couldnt even really hear them because enemies were attacking me while they were playing which is why Im watching these videos. The audio also wasnt that clear sounding to begin with.

@Shannon Shaw He was a selfish bastard with a self-absorbed philosophy from the getgo. He was already killing people and ruining lives long before he killed Ms. Langford. He was a corrupt man with a belief system that was doomed to fail and couldn't accept that, becoming everything he hated in the end.
Andrew Ryan is the same as Frank Fontaine, except Fontaine is under no illusions about what he is or what he does. Ryan’s life is built on a foundation of rationalizations and self-deceptions. Fontaine is the naked truth underneath Ryan’s ideological facade of lies.
Or the "on the surface the parasite expects the doctor to heal them for free..." I think the poster of this video might be what ryan would call "a parasite"
Love the game and the themes but I'm convinced if plasmids were created irl, our government would legalize and "regulate" them if the right palms were greased. The civil war Rapture devolves into are still things that can and are happening in the world, not just a Anarchy Capitalist paradigm. It's a great story but I can see people in the comments feeling emboldened in their anti-capitalist worldview, as if this is a great cautionary tale.
One thing that always bothered me. By the time Jack walked into that office, Andrew Ryan already chose to kill himself and everyone else via self destruct. He knew that “would you kindly” could stop Jack in his tracks, so why did he willingly countermand his own choice to self destruct by ordering his own bludgeoning?
"A man chooses, a slave obeys". He proved that he was able to choose how he would die, and knew that living wouldn't matter because he was dead anyways. He proved he was a man, and that Jack was a slave.
He chose to die by his ideals of self determination. Jack was his son and a complete slave. He refused to take advantage because it repulsed him on every level. His chose his death like Socrates and launched your path to self determination.
