"It was not impossible to build Rapture under the sea. It was impossible to build it anywhere else" - Andrew Ryan
What is the difference between a *Man* and a *Parasite* ?
A man builds, a parasite asks: "Where is my share?"
A man creates, a parasite says: "What will the neighbours think?"
A man invents, a parasite says: "Watch out, or you might tread on the toes of GOD..."
- Andrew Ryan
And then Comstock came
- pipes burst and ruins everything -
@@miiurzi3375 Actually System Shock and Evil AI came next.
One word: atmosphere. I think this was the first game I've ever played where the enemies respawned when you weren't around. I didn't realize what was happening as I can back to an area I already cleared, and heard footsteps. Whistling. And the ramblings of a mad man. It scared the shit out of me
ChocolateAsian9000 I remember when I was 8 and I was literally so scared to play this game lmao
ChocolateAsian9000 do you remember your first Houdini Splicer? I sure as hell do.
I waited 4 years for this game to come out as I had been following the development from the first snippets as they were released. It was brilliant then and it is brilliant now. One of the creators mentioned there are multiple AI's working simultaneously and in order to win, you must manipulate them to your advantage or you're not playing the game properly.
@@malachiXX I literally just saw it in a shop and thought it looked cool and bought it with absolutely no knowledge of it and I was fucking spellbound the moment I started. But it was in the age when most games were pretty decent not like now when they all pretty much suck. But even so this was a clear cut above the rest and still is even today. Games like Prey 2017 try to copy it and fall short.
@@johnmirra6707 I agree. Actually, at the time, it was the FIRST 1080p game released for home consoles. You're lucky. Before Bioshock, most games had brilliant trailers and cut scenes but you were playing with tiny icons that were like 8-bit characters. Then 2K asked the question "Can we make a game that is 1080p all the way through?" and the rest is history
I respected Big Daddies because they were like demented guardiansto little sisters, but still left you alone as long as you left them alone.
Sinister Horsey I felt a real sympathy with the Big Daddies in 2, playing one myself. When I had to kill one to get a Little Sister, I'd always say to myself "Sorry, brother."
Their cool and all and make the little sisters happy but are they really happy if they are not truly freed?
Sinister Horsey needed that Adam yknow?
I don't know I always felt they should rise up and take the surface.... But they are so cool, possibly the most unique deadly mofo I ever encountered in any game.
Big daddies are like bees; they’re important for the world of rapture but only attack you if you’re attacking them
I don’t like Bioshock, I love it to death
Good choice.
Me too 😮awesome choice
It was unique, wasnt filled with microtransactions, and wasnt ripping off something popular
I think that's what made it so great... It's just pure original content, like the last of us.
Rae Of Astora and I could play it 200 times and not mind it.
@@Sparkyh Lmao LoU is just a walking dead ripoff
*cough* cod *cough*
How did they come up with plasmids
Big daddy's
Little sisters
Splicers
Rapture
Etc..
If there is ever an argument for video games being art, that argument is Bio Shock.
Or Tlou
@@youssefsaleh7186 or dark souls
In addition to art there is a ton of social commentary as well. I'm not trying to be our r/Iamverysmart. I knew there was some connection to Ayn Rand in the story Bioshock. I honestly couldn't be bothered to look at the underpinnings of the story, I was having way too much fun just being lost in Rapture! It's kind of like getting laid for the first time. You tend to not stop and enjoy the details. Now I can look at BioShock and enjoy it on any number of levels, same as with booty call. That was some deep shit right there!
and infinite and burial at sea
@@vijayanavabharathi3431 no lmao not dark souls
Bioshock is a joy from start to finish, the atmosphere, soundtrack and voice acting really create a world that makes you crave more.
And the combat. Not enough people praise it for the sheer amount of variety
@@eziospaghettiauditore8369 agreed. The combat is fast, fun and hectic.
What made this game great was explained by the Dev's themselves. They molded the story to match the environment because the environment of Rapture was the main character. This approach in world building really set them apart with just how detailed their world was, it felt tangible and real. It genuinely felt like a place people could work and live in and its history throughout Rapture's lifetime could be seen with every scar and collapsed stairway.
All games should be made like this.
What Made BioShock GREAT?
THE WATER GRAPHICS AT THE START OMG ._.
Gross.
KidAnime20 you mean awsome.
The way the water reflected the fire from the crash
When you first crash and are floating in the sea, the reflections of the fire in the warm yellow, the reflection of the moon in cold light, the lighthouse a beacon of hope, quickly turning to a dungeon you would do anything to escape from.
One word.
*BEES*
Beads?
NOT THE
My God
So... ProJared?
iamblargmonster thinking that as well
I didn't get round to playing bioshock until the remastered collection came out. It became one of my favourite shooters of all time absolutely love it.
@Jay Mystery it literally is
Jay Mystery you’re an idiot
Sick animation and probably my fave game ever
Hydra Jamm Prolly cause there's an e at the end of favourite.
Really man? I loved that game but I have always wondered why people could ever prefer this to say Dishonored. Don't get me wrong you have a right to your opinion I just want to know why? Why do love that game so much?
Razor Prime, Dishonored really is a beautiful game but I wouldn't put it ahead of bioshock. Dishonored itself has clearly taken quite a few liberties from Bioshock. But like the video said, Bioshock has the most amazing atmosphere and story. The execution of the game's style is unprecedented. The game play was great too and still holds up well to today. Bioshock and Half Life 2 series are two of the greatest games ever made imo.
Igbir
I appreciate you understanding others have their own points of view. I do agree with you I just prefer the world , gameplay and characters (the most subjective parts of a game and the most important to me).
fazeel ashraf - You have good taste in games. Bioshock is 1 of my favorite games of all time.
That moment in the 1st Bioshock where you pick up the shotgun off the wooden floor and the lights turn off.....EPIC.
slickcross that was so scary for me
Or the moment when you pick up that one plasmid at the dentist
Bioshock 1 was scary
Bioshock was one of the first games I was left speechless after the twist occurred, an amazing story and a brilliantly executed experience (except for the final boss battle).
Which wan?
which one
He's talking about the battle with Super-Fontaine, where you have to drain him of Adam.
FreakScenePromotions Honestly, I felt like the story ran out of gas after Ryan's death, something Ken Levine himself agrees with. Liked the way the final boss fight ended though, with the Little Sisters doing their best piranha pack imitation.
One of the best games IMO. The twist was insane as well. I liked the final fight. It was crazy. I had to use a fair amount of strategy and ammo to make it out of there. It was fun nonetheless.
Now, would you kindly make a fourth game ? thanks
They r working in another bioshock
filimon prig ps3 limitations😔
Morza Ik I’m late but for real? If so fucking awesome☺️
@@andygutierrrez1136 yeah, devs confirmed it but its probably releasinv in 2 yrs.... Or at least id think in 2yrs
Hahaha, would you kindly... The words atlas used to fool the principal character
This game wasn’t just important because it made a compelling story, but it brought the idea of making games that had a message, a theme, that could be actually be applied and be very relevant to our society. Also it showed just how much a games atmosphere could truly add to the immersion and what the capabilities of a video game could do. Bioshock couldn’t have worked as well as a movie or book bc the atmosphere will never be as perfect as it is in a video game
To be honest there it isn't a single FPS game that can compete with Bioshock in terms of writing, creativity and character development.
#Facts
Moon Door I agree with you!
what are you talking about, character development was non existent from the beginning. By the end, all the characters were the same as they were in the beginning. In terms of writing, it was non existent also until the end of the game, which wasn't even that good of writing to be honest. It's just a watered down multiverse theory that seems complicated when in fact, it really isn't
Just my opinion
Do you even Deus Ex?
The same
There was character development? Everyone pretty much stuck to their one note the whole game. It was based on a book so that takes down the creativity a notch. Honestly, cant remember anything spectacular about the story other than than " a man chooses, a slave obeys."
I do wish we could've gotten that version of Bioshock Infinite that was more horror like. Would've been awesome.
Mister Shadow I liked the change of pace.
Yeah but it wasn't very good the original idea sounded miles better the final product felt way too generic and the ending was pretty weak. It really fell short since they ended up rushing it.
Play the DLC. Is fucking superb
I did it wasn't very fun to me. I'm much more interested in Columbia considering the whole base game takes place there. Rapture is sort of old news unless they dedicated a whole game to the civil war that broke out there and I consider the dlc a lazy way of showing that part of Rapture's downfall.
Mister Shadow dude the ending was so mind bendingly good.. The fact there was deeper meaning to it all just gave it that extra layer..Hey each to there own I guess but I loved infinite
Personally i think the setting and overall experience the first 2 games provided were more interesting than infinite but i consider the whole trilogy one of, if not the best shooter series ever.
Guitar Shredder agreed. It is my favorite series of games. Actually just started the first game again about an hour ago to do another play through of the trilogy
I would love to see BioShock as a movie 🎥
No
OUTSID3R yes i would 👍🏼🎥
Same but they might ruin it
Lollipop gurl as much as I would like to see a BioShock movie I would have to say no because they did a assassin's Creed movie and it was suppose to be a action adventure, storyteller but instead we gotten crap out of that movie I would hate to see BioShock fall under a bunch of amateurs who don't even know the games main story.

I would love a tell tale BioShock game set during or before the fall of rapture
GamOholic spartan that actually sounds like a really good idea to me
You can if you have the dlc in Bioshock Infinite
Masquerade party massacre simulator 2018
FaZeBooce thats not really rapture tho
Burial at sea.
"Have you ever tried it? If no, Try it!" After spoiling almost every important part of the story from the videogame. Well played Falcon, wonderfully played.
"No gods or kings. Only man."
I find this statement very interesting considering the state of Rapture or any other civilization that claims to adhere to it. Rapture ended in chaos. Many places in the world today are reigned by chaos. All these places have one thing in common, as far as I understand it: people made it so. I'm not saying claiming to follow a religion would have away with these issues; after all, God wouldn't be there to control them in person, so it'd still be left up to if the people believe in the ones who are set to lead them. Believers have a tendency to claim they know God's will for their society, but refuses to acknowledge that agency and free will is a human right for many and should be one for all, something I believe God respects fully. Whether people believe he exists or not, we have a way with using scare-tactics to put ourselves above others because somehow it's about God but it's really about what we want.
There, senseless tirade over and done with.
Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap..... Well said, very well said........... That is so true for so many people, and things...........
Booker, are you afraid of god?
NO... But im afraid of you....
Transistor Express "the mind of the subject will keep making memories which none exist"
-Rosalind Lutece
I loved Infinite but the first one was my favorite
I think the quotes in Bioshock Infinite were really pretentious tbh, none of them are really relevant to the human mind but seek to WOW you. It's dumb writing
Matthew Luevanos not really they are interesting when you know about them more and more. Excluding the "BOOKER ARE YOU AFRAID OF GOD QOUTE"
They all point to the core story of the game
Matthew Luevanos or the twist shall i say
I played bioshock infinite before bioshock 1 and never was able to play bioshock 2 but the colours were so vibrant in bioshock infinite that when i played bioshock 1 i was too scared to play it. ;-;
MCFraggs 1 has the best story 2 has the best gameplay infinite is like a mix of both but 1 is the best
I suggest you go back and play it. I played the remastered version for the first time over the summer and then played through the entire series and all the story DLC's within a couple weeks. I actually cried at the end of the final story DLC because everything comes together so perfectly and it's such an emotional conclusion.
I took out my ps3 when i got my ps4 and i only have fallout 4 and i have played it for a month and i'm bored of it but i don't have money to buy a new game
Andrew Forte I cried at the end of infinite. I didn't realize how deep the game was. When the last piano notes played the last seconds of the game and Elizabeths disappeared simultanously with them, I instantly got tears. About an hour after that I was rethinking the whole game.
Eastern Eggs Unboxing Have you played the Buried at Sea dlc?
See that's what I appreciate about gameranx, they put in the extra effort. They could have just edited a few clips of game play and dubbed over it and that would have worked well too but I just love that they done their own animation for this and adapted to the style of bio shock so go on you guys for that.
Is it just me or does Falcon say "Game" weirdly....?
GAYUM is how he says it, he fails the speech skill
Played through it 5 times.
thanks to this video now im gona do the 6th one.
crispx19ye I went through them a lot my favorite franchise
i should replay it one more time
*beats Bioshock yesterday*
"You know it'd be pretty funny if gameranx uploaded a Bioshock video tomorrow"
Good video love the music and Falcon's tone through out the video
This is beautiful. please do more of this style of videos.
Bioshock infinite burial at sea is the only game were I actually cried at the ending.
R a b i d S A N G H E I L I The only reasonable reaction...such a noir ending where the circle finally closes.
One of the best ways to end a game. Burial at sea was everything that made bioshock.
Same here. That and Red Dead Redemption.
God this. Red Dead Redemption came close, but Burial at Sea actually made me cry.
R a b i d S A N G H E I L I So you've never played Red Dead Redemption. How sad. You must.
I really like this series, I dont think it gets the love it deserves. I know you guys probably have tons of ideas for future episodes, but I feel like a 'What Made Halo Great?' would be pretty cool.
Bio Shock underappreciated? Really?
Evan Fields oh, I was referring to this video series, the 'What Made it Great?' Series
Tom Butler
Ah, my mistake. I obviously thought you were referring to the Bioshock series. I hereby retract my comment and through my support behind your original comment. This is a great series.
What made Halo great? Easy. It spawned Red vs Blue.
gameranx you're one of my favorite subs and i love this series also muchas gracias senor for this episode.
This is my favourite type of video
Falcons satisfying voice just talking in depth on why games are amazing
Will always be watching these
The storytelling
I disagree.
Bio shock was PERFECT. One of my favorite games of all time easy
This was great! You guys should do more of this type of video.
I love that all I have to do is read the title and I know it's going to be a video by falcon!!!
I got Bioshock Infinite second hand and it's my favorite FPS game. I've been told a lot to play the older ones too but I never got a chance to find them. The team behind these games are really talented, huge respect.
You absolutely should play the first two if you haven’t yet although obviously they’ve been spoiled by now. I feel like story wise the first one blows the other two out of the water although Infinite def gets some points for how pretty it is
WarriorCereal I hated infinite too which sucks because it really was visually stunning. The whole time I played it I wanted to bang my head against my desk until I died
The best way for me to discribe how much I love Bioshock is for me to first express how much I hate playing first person perspective game. I have no problems if other people like them but to me they have always been the worst piece of crap I've played. No matter how often I gave them a chance I couldn't get into them. I just cant connect to not seeing my character move in the environment. But then there was Bioshock, which was yet another fpp game I was giving a chance and just the opening managed to do something no other fpp game managed: It totally drew me into the world and I didn't feel the discomfort I usually feel playing fpp at all. I just had to continue to see where all this was leading too. And boy was it a great ride.
I still cannot get into many fpp games, which is kind of a pity because it appears I'm missing out on some great games. But dammit Bioshock is a whole different piece of gaming/art and I loved every second of it.
San Juan Horst Probably it's greatest achievement, taking the least story-friendly game genre and making a Twilight Zone style story out of it.
Good work with the animation. More videos like these would be welcome.
This was really well made! Great job LaughterCraft.
What made jak and daxter great?
I enjoyed renegade back in the day, that game was awesome.
Jump-rolling, jump-rolling, jump-rolling, *JUMP-SLAM*, jump-rolling, jump-rolling, roll, spin attack
Rinse. Repeat. Satisfying.
Nothing
everything graphics gameplay it was awesome
Loved the racing
Ohh, it's a Utopi-uhhhh wtf is happening here man
That was one of my first thoughts.
"...made me think about how the world works..." so damn accurate!! That's BioShock for us!
I really love your animation btw. It's not only on point but it's also so expressive and unique. Really. love. it.
great commentary Falcon, you've really stepped up the quality of your analysis with this one
I heart ❤ Fallout and Bioshock!!!😘😍❤
I heart heart Fallout and Bioshock too. Heart kiss, heart eyes, heart, as well.
Derrick Jee
Love you friend! Have a wonderful life aswell!
Ugh.

lol later! Bye
Watch my boy oxhorn than
I loved every bioshock game and how the story tied in with Infinite. All are masterpieces in their way.
This will sound weird but whenever falcon does a video i always find it hard to click off and watch someth8ng else his voice is just so satisfying to listen to
I thoroughly enjoyed the Bioshock series and hearing someone express what i felt about it with better words (im not a native english speaker) made me very happy, the video and analogy was perfect, it is truly a work of art.
I hold the unpopular opinion that Bioshock 2 was the best of the 3, even though I did enjoy all of them thoroughly with the first Bioshock being my personal least favorite.
ThexHaloxMaster Given how many people stand up for our mutually favorite Bioshock, I question how unpopular it actually is.
It has the best gameplay imo.
still one of my all time favorite shooters. I just love the setting of the art deco city being underwater
I love how this was drawn out
How did I miss this video?! Went straight to my PS library and starting to dowload the collection. Got it on PLUS but never played back in the day, I got MGS fever 😂❤🎉 Awsome Falcon, as always, even 6 years ago 🎉
2:52 "this is a gaem"
"Is it a perfect game? N--" YES
This video hit me in the feels. You did an amazing job analyzing an amazing game.
Bioshock has so many details, all the game series, the main story is superb, the characters, the music, the enviroment, the special efects that event today looks so well, the side stories , everything. I just love Bioshock and I don't even know if I could love it even more. It's pure art!
A city in the ocean, a city in the sky... Mark my words, there will next be a city in space!
City under the ground don't forget
I like to think they follow the elements rapture is water, Columbia air and they will follow the earth and fire (maybe a community in a volcanic area etc.)
And I hope the next game remembers to mock Disney's "Tomorrowland" movie...
Prey = Bioshock in Space
@@iCYpReSSv1 Prey = Bioshock in space... but shit.*
It's the 60s
mynthecooldude Actually, Rapture was built in 1946 per a model you see near the entrance. The Art Deco style used came from the 1930s...and yes, it was 1960 in the original game.
mynthecooldude
love me some jazz
Bioshock 1960, Bioshock 2 1968, and Bioshock Infinite 1912. Andrew Ryan built Rapture in the late 1940s to 50s. That's why he said that.
gotta love retro themed games
I loved this! Good job on explaining in depth what make Bioshock BIOSHOCK! :D
Yo! @gameranx gameranx y'all never stop with the meaningful content. It's just like having a favorite TV show that comes out with one or two new episodes a day! So fucking rad! Love y'all and thank you for doing what you do!
this game is at the same level with halo or any other cult franchise
Why can’t we get another bioshock 😭😭
Bioshock 4 announced this week
I'm actually playing Bioshock 1 on the PS4 right now lmao. Great timing Gameranx👍🏾
Thank you for content like this gameranx, love you ❤️
for the love of god, please don't make me play the game for the 15th time...i'm prepping up for newer games & my Netflix list is getting longer by the month...
this is a gamme 2:54
Gaem
Glados well no duh
Gam, he was using an outdated term for the leg as an analogy for the strength and complicated nature of the game. Or maybe he mispoke and the editors missed it.
I recently replayed Bioshock 1 again, and I have to say I was floored by how smooth it felt and how it has held up.
I haven't played it since its released back on 360 years ago and I remember as a teen feeling like it slogged on and had a sour aftertaste with it but now that I'm older and really re-lived it again I feel it was a masterpiece of its time. I can see now why its spawned a series. And honestly I feel that Bioshock 1 is the best in the Trilogy.
Bioshock is such an amazing game. I love going back and replaying it every now and then.
No joke just spedrun this game 1hr 45 min
I only played the sky one I guess it was called infinite. But I'm thinking of trying the first one
Ach Hadda Do that. Get 2 as well but play the original first for context.
Plz play 1 then go back n play the dlc foe "3"
Please do, the first one was amazing
Awesome video as always Falcon! loved the drawings but to be honest I would've loved to see some game images as well :/ ... still great video!
The animations on these episodes are really great.
I have the Bioshock collection but honestly I don't know if I want to play infinite. After learning about all the stuff they cut out and how good it could have been it just makes me upset even thinking about the game. The only reason I would play it honestly is so I could say I have played all the Bioshock games. And I like 100% completing my games with dlc and all. So I would probably be just rushing through it.
Kra88ypa77yJR bro, its not a masterpiece, but it still was one of the best games last gen. Definitely worth a playthrough if u love bioshock
Depends on what you care about most, I enjoyed the gunplay far more in Infinite and that's what you're doing most of the time. The visuals alone in Infinite are a sight to behold while playing especially on PC. I went into the game pretty much blind which is why I think I ended up liking it as much as I did. In a situation like yours I think the best option is just go in with low expectations so you might be surprised.
Kra88ypa77yJR Infinite is the king of Bioshock for myself. The visuals alone are a sight to behold, and the narrative and love you'll grow to feel for Booker and Elizabeth is something you won't forget anytime soon. It's fast-paced, intense, violent, original, beautiful, and as complete of a single player game you could hope to experience. It's a completely different vibe and ambience than the original Bioshock, but that is in no way saying it's inferior. I've played through Bioshock 1 & 2 around 6 times each, and I've played through Infinite 13 times. Just saying lol. Absolutely play it as soon as humanly possible.
Kra88ypa77yJR I really enjoyed Infinite, you should play it.
1 probably has best story, Infinite probably best gameplay (the 2 weapons is a pain tho). I finished in two days without rushing, so if you can start a game and not immediately need 100% you could always give it a go on easy (i'm not saying you're not skill,ed, i have no clue, just that it makes it go faster without rushing) and see if you like it.
However if you must 100% every game you start, then i can understand hesitance.
Gameranx is my big daddy 😏
Bioshock masterfully blends story telling and gameplay so seamlessly. There’s barely any cutscenes and for the most part watching the world, story and characters play out in gameplay.
Another amazing Vid., Falcon!
It's almost been 5 years and I'm still trying to figure out what the Bioshock Infinite ending meant.
edwin serrano Google the meaning
Syke 444 Crap the years spent learning theoretical physics and discovering how the universe was made were for nothing.
edwin serrano LMAOOO
I would honestly explain it but i'd need time
So infinite ending here we go:
U destroy the siphon that limits Elizabeth powers. She (after the destruction) then knows everything behind every door . U get teleported to RAPTURE but not the rapture you know. Then you go to the surface but ACTUALLY NOT ANY SURFACE u enter the doorway to every universe. If u go back and play the ending u will see that the sea is surrounded by clouds (meaning u are not on just an ocean). U enter the doorway to the past where Booker refused the baptism and became the booker we know and love. But in ANOTHER UNIVERSE he took the baptism and changed his name to Comstock that we all know and hate.
You see in the beginning of the game booker was drunk and not really sober so the Luteces teleported our booker to Colombia's universe. But waaaaaay waaaay waaaaaaaay before the incident of Bioshock infinite, comstock used the Luteces device to teleport to another universes which made him age faster and become weaker. In one specific universe. (Our beloved booker universe that we all know an love) booker became in debt by comstock so comstock told him u bring me anna (bookers daughter) ill wipe ur debt.. and booker did. But then! Booker ran to COMSTOCK and told him the deals off bring back my daughter and BOTH WERE STRUGGLING TO TAKE ANNA THE LUTECES THEN TAKE ANNA AND WHILE THE TEAR IS CLOSING HER FINGER GETS CUT OFF..
And after the incident
thats where booker became so drunk and alcoholic that he forgot about it so the Luteces intervened and brought booker to colombia's universe (comstock's universe AKA BOOKER) and bookers memory started to fade and collide with His Columbia's universe (comstock) so memories of him from the original universe started to fade away and new un existent ones from his original universe started to show up.. booker then knows about it in the end. And knows THAT ANNA WAS RENAMED TO ELIZABETH!!
AND IN THE END. HE DIED BEFORE HE TOOK THE BAPTISM SO HIS COMSTOCK PERSON NEVER BORNS IN ANY UNIVERSE
And actually it was all an experiment by the Luteces
Still like Bioshock 2 more
Shellhead a lot people shit on on Bioshock 2 and say infinite is the best. But my fav one is Bioshock 1, I love Bioshock 2 as well. Infinite is my least favorite one.
The_Shadow_ BaBy me 2
I'd certainly agree that it has the best gunplay in the series. Or rather, the most interesting guns. Seriously, how does this game manage to make every single weapon feel genuinly powerful, without being totally easy?
The_Shadow_ BaBy Same I love 1 and 2 and I really like 3 but it just dosnt have the same feel
Bioshock 2 was ok but not my favourite. It seemed like it was just a chore, go to a level complete the mission save the little sisters do there little mini game or harvest them and it got really repetitive until the end. The DLC for bioshock 2 was awesome though, the story was fantastic. Bioshock Infinite was my second favourite because it was so different and the characters were great and the story and gameplay was amazing. Bioshock 1 was creepy as hell but I loved it better than 2.
i actually just recently bought the bioshock collection since it had been years since i played bioshock and i forgot that all three make up one of my favorite game series of all time
Looking forward for videos like this
Definitely not this artwork.
Ouch, that burn..
Burn baby burn.
SyntheticKill thats mean spirited
Thats not a burn, that's just straight rude.
Infinite was my least favorite in the series and overall as a game
Gamer Guy did u play the dlc???
Carl Mosely Jr dlc doesn't change how I feel about the base game
Infinite was my personal favorite. Just my 2c.
Gamer Guy they cut so much of the game, that the final product was just dry bread, go check out "content removed from Bioshock infinite, or beta Bioshock to see what I mean..
Bioshock Infinite was a step back in gamemechanics and comparing it to the first gameplay trailers it was a total disappointment. The atmosphere can nowhere compete with Bioshock 1 and 2. Its sad that Infinite ended this franchise and the dlc was a really forced connection to the first one.
I loved all you guys artwork and what you thought about Bio Shock
I still remember that feeling I got when I played the demo.
I don't understand nothing
Derek Hearne so he understands everything!
The first Bioshock felt overrated to me. NOW KNACK! DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED! That's. a. mother. fucking. MASTERPIECE!
papitas de mexico With a mindset like that im surprised you even know what a gaming system is.
Here comes the moneeeeey
MetaWulfTV Why you gotta come here and be like that?
it's actually a knackstapiece
lalo 1245567899413 knack 2 and Destiny 2 are two different types of games
Now I want to play Bioshock again... thanx gameranx
¡Bienvenido El Ammo Bandito!
Loved walking up to those machines...
A city, at the bottom of the ocean? What a joke
First
wow someone who says first and is actually first props to you my man
Respect.
This franchise was a first that I truly cared to connect with, complete and replay over and over again just to find the things I miss during many replays. Truly fantastic game art in every sense!
We need more of those animations they were amazing
Too bad Infinite was the greatest flaw in video game development history. An incredibly awful game. Instead of being a fun game it's more interested in trying to come across as intelligent, were as every 12 year old is sitting there drooling over how ''awesome'' the ending is, while everyone over 20 with a tiny bit of common sense just thought.. ''.. are you fucking kidding me with this shit?!'' And regardless of how they must have spent most of the development on that M. Night Shyamalan ending which turned to shit, they obviously spent a lot of time on the scenery and environment, but then have you spend 95% of the game shooting on hordes of enemies, which makes it feel like any shooter out there. Bioshock 1 and 2 had pretty good trailers, but turned out to be ground breaking games, while Infinite had incredible trailers, it turned out to be a shit show of casual nonsense. And then those who enjoyed it tell me: ''well, you obviously didn't understand the story..'' which makes me almost pull my hair out. I understood it, and it was an awful ending tailored towards casual player, and that's why you enjoyed it. It's an FPS blockbuster cliche that broke the fan base of the first two games and welcomed newcomers to a revolutionary defect in video game history. But to be honest, I would have enjoyed the game if it simply didn't have ''Bioshock'' in the title, that's what all my arguments are for, and it could have been an alright game with a cliche ending, if it would have simply been named as'' Infinite.''
Windsbee Spoken with the same holier than thou tone of snobs. Try this William Blake quote on for size if you want to understand why Infinite got it's title: "If the doors of man's perceptions were cleansed, he would see all things as they are: infinite." FYI, I'm over 40 and had less trouble than your overtaxed intellect did in keeping up.

just because it's different doesn't mean it's automatically "bad." the style and characters and story drew me into Infinite, while the first two games were more of a desperate struggle to survive. both enjoyable, just for different reasons. casual? sure, but again that's not strictly "bad." it's not like 1 and 2 were some exclusive gaming experience to other shooters, it just had unique atmosphere. i will agree that the whole "alternate universe" ending was very unecessary. its like Assassin's Creed: their time periods and gameplay are interesting enough, it doesn't NEED this whole sci-fi thing going on.
Johnathon Haney - Did I ever question why Infinite was named ''Infinite''? I argued that that name ''Bioshock'' in the title makes no sense because the game has nothing to do with the previous games in the series, except the multiverse ''always a man, always a lighthouse'' theory, resulting in people being disappointed. Did you really reply to the right comment? Aaand once again another Infinite drooler who argues that everyone who dislikes the game must not have gotten the story straight, like I argued in my very first comment. Good job proving my point, if this even was the right post you wanted to reply to, because your first argument makes zero sense, so I am confused as to what you really are trying to achieve here.
Windsbee Nothing to do with the previous games...except for the part about an isolated city-state, pseudo-scientific magic powers, a hostile populace, self-indulgent propaganda that hides the truth, a reclusive founder pushing a morally bankrupt ideology and advanced anachronistic technologies used to fuel oppression that eventually leads to social breakdown and collapse. Sure sounds like Bioshock to me, numbnuts. You wanna try again? Oh and my achievement is making you look like the thoughtless twit you come off as.
Plus, to be fair, the greatest flaw in video game development history is Mighty No. 9. Nobody can deny that dumpster fire.
The original Bioshock was way overrated for me. Fun and atmospheric but overrated.
1. You could kill a simple splicer at the beginning of the game with your machine gun with just a few shots but by the end of the game you need to empty an entire clip into a splicer to do the same without any indication that the late game splicers are more durable.
2. You can light a puddle of gasoline on fire, wait for it to burn out and then light it up again...
3. Andrew Ryan spent most of a level trying to keep you away and when you catch up to him he has the ability to control you but makes you kill him instead of yourself. Seems like drama for the sake of drama.
4.They used a female splicer model for Tenenbaum instead of a unique model which felt like the developers were trying to cut corners.
5. If you zap an enemy with electrobolt directly it does zero damage but when you zap the pool of water they're standing in it does massive damage?!
6. Enemy splicer dialogue seemed overacted and immature at times. It was much better in Bioshock 2.
7. Enemy splicer models seemed cartoonish with their overly large heads. Again it was better in Bioshock 2.
rlam905 seems like you're bitching about a game being a game to be honest
And the "hacking" minigame
rlam905 Objection to 3...Ryan did what he did to accomplish two things. First, he wanted to die, as his dream was nothing but a city of ruins. Second, he did it in a way to convince himself that he wasn't the slave to his paranoia, ego and power thirst he actually was. It was a fittingly pathetic ending to a thoroughly broken man.
rlam905
ya make good points.
3) That was more of a way for him to show Jack we has indeed mind controlled. Definitive proof, so to speak.
4) So? You never really do get an in-depth look at her, so it doesn't matter.
5) It does a bit of damage, however it's still meant as a stun ability, not damage dealing one (except for water)
Alright but the animation in this video is awesome, good work improving Gameranx.
Thanks for this.. people reviewing video games deeply as you do.. makes it worth while creating them ♥ thanks
