I've only known a bit of the story, and I was in love. Now, I don't know how to feel when I know everything. The idea of this game amazes me, it's so perfect and amazing and cool.
I really want to know, am I the only one who thinks that the plot and partially the story, along with the atmosphere in Bioshock are kinda similar to Shutter Island?
i've played all 3 bioshock games and i love them all each one has something that makes it unique bioshock 2 you get to understand the big daddy's perspective/ side of things along with the weapon+plasmid use and upgradeability, infinit explains how rapture got the technology to make plasmids and big daddies while exploring a giant flying city that hasn't completely fallen to ruin and the first one in my opinion holds a beauty and air that makes you just feel so... ah just fantastic and each one has an amazing story
+casey mcdonald I have yet to play Bioshock 2 and Infinite (yeah, I know, took me long enough), but the story in the original is a masterpiece! When I got to a part when you see that Atlas is actually Fontaine... I don't remember when I was so shocked and amazed by the plot and the storytelling a game did, andnot just in games, but in movies too.
aldrin Mac It cooould happen... in about 5 years. Maybe. I would like a better ending... but the new plasmids, guns, etc. wouldn't happen. (reason being it'd be a REMAKE) New Game+ would be nice, though.
only thing they got wrong was how old jack was. Fontaine talks about how jack survived World War II and rapture with out a scratch. he is a little older than you think.
At the end of Bioshock: Infinite Dewitt ends up in the ocean ship finds him and picks him up after he gets better he has amnesia and doesn't know who he is. The person that rescued him was Ryan and the name of the ship was Andrew. After 48 years he becomes really smart and goes back to where they found him and decides to built a memory he has (if you have beaten Infinite Elizabeth shows you rapture) He builds it and after his son comes back he remembers and doesn't want to live. MIND BLOWN!
Dude that was the best explanation. The best review. Speaks clear, fast, and only tells facts. Why doesn't he reveiw all games like that. Or anyone for that matter. A real review not angry joe nonsense. We are busy. Give me what i want to know and beat it. I do not need to see some guy make a fool of himself. Not funny n not a good reviewer. Useless and plenty like Hume. .KUDOS amazing job! Hopefully you'll be a trailblazer in game reviews.
@StuffedAnimalPlanet SPOILER, yeah he hijacked the plane. Still in the trailer his tray is down. And I was implying that having your tray table down in an crash is deadly.
Multiple universes in which everything is being experienced at once. These multi-verses have certain constants, in every possibility Booker gives Anna to comstock to pay his debt, Anna loses her finger(which grants her the unique to ability to tear holes by herself), and Booker is ridden with shame. Booker then goes to a baptism ceremony, in some universes he accepts the baptism and becomes Comstock, in the others, he rejects it. There.
Translation(I think): I like both Bioshocks equally because, the first one you're basically one man against Big Daddies and Splicers. I like the second because you're a Big Daddy and, you're amazing. Both stories are really good. (At least he got you're right)
Man I have loved this game for years and years but they did a really poor job at explaining the story in the first one. I feel like there are big reveals throughout the story that just leave me scratching my head. Nothing really made my jaw drop like it should have. It's as if the developers gave you only a few pieces of a whole puzzle, and the pieces don't even connect.
I agree. I loved all 3 games, but Infinite was the only one where i was really invested in the story because Elizabeth literally explains everything during the game. In 1 and 2 you have to listen to these, sometimes really boring, audiotapes, and if you miss some of them, the story gets very confusing.
@23moofy ADAM* And it doesn't happen suddenly. Over time, and with increasingly frequent use, the body begins to degrade. He just hasn't been hooked on the stuff long enough.
No. They both have mutated freaks, but that's where the line is drawn. Bioshock is more linear, in a twisted and imaginative setting, where-as Fallout is more open in a post-apocalyptic world. But seriously, play both of the Bioshock games. I promise that they are some of the most badass games that you'll ever play. Also, Bioshock Infinite will be out in March. You definitely won't want to miss that one!
Good point. Though I guess it could be said that branding Fontaine as a smuggler, thereby introducing the concept of smuggling to Rapture, was a form of regulation. For the most part, though, you're right- he definitely stood by his values.
GODZILLA FILMS I mean the real end, haha. I know Miley Cyrus when I hear her, what I'm dying to know is what the hell is that deliciously catchy techno song at the very end.
@OneOlzzz I dont remember The return of the Jedi being released in 1912 if you remember that scene with the cinema and what was either a bus or a train (first or one of the earliest "tear-scenes"). Basicly the "tear-system" doesn't give a shit about time
As someone that just got finished analyzing 1984, I found the "What could go wrong?" slide absolutely hilarious, especially since I made a connection to Bioshock while reading it.
@TheKevinbrockett Yes, just as @Conmany123 said, it's Bioshock Infinite, however it take place in... 1912? Very early in the 1900's, in a city in the skies. It is being made by the same people that made the first Bioshock game, however it has probably very little to do with the other Bioshock games.
I have to say that Infinite was the best for me. Bioshock 1 had amazing moments, but the problem for me was that they made you fight 5-8 enemies in one tiny confined area. It was really hard to get around your opponents and plant tactics when you were getting smothered by the enemies with very little space to move away. Infinite fixes that by giving you more choices on playing the game the way you want to. With bigger open spaces and tears that diversify the experience. Skyline was awesome too
The only thing I didn't like about the first bioshock was that everyone was a splicer. I mean even Tenebaums character model is a splicer. Glad they fixed that up in the second.
its a game, with plot twists everywhere, with time portals,with time and space travel, and alternate dimensions, and plot twists, within a game, within two dimensions, within rifts of time, etc. etc.
The real reason why is because Ryan's dream fell apart. His city of Rapture became the dictatorship/opressive government he tried so hard to get rid of and run away from. Rapture became what he hated most. After realizing this he tried to destroy Rapture by self destructuing it. But Jack stopped him so the only thing he had left was death. His dreams fell apart on themselves and in the end he acomplished nothing. Thats why he wanted you his son to put an end to him.
Sandblast by Matt Sanders. I Shazamed it because I wanted to know too, and apparently everyone else can't use time annotations and thought you were talking about Miley Cirus' song...
That was my friends rational for telling me the ending. He said "I assumed you knew, it's all over the internet." Unfortunately I didn't research the entire plot of the game when it came out, and I didn't know.
actslly the Infinite was before rapture.But if you find the bird mechines in one and two, you actally will relieze that Rapture was in the air, before in the water.
*deep breath* and when you are killed by Elizabeth before you become Comstock, you create a paradox. A paradox in which the events that led you to creating that paradox no longer exist. This reverses the clock on Booker and sends him to the only possibility in which he does not lose anna.
Theres three endings, The good one (if you save all the little sisters), The mid one (If you save some and kill some) and the bad one (if you kill all the little sisters)
Where do Jack and Subject Delta keep all their weapons? It's easy to keep a pistol for Jack, but a DRILL for Delta? And how do they hold their weapons with one hand?
I honestly don't understand how you got thumbs up for that comment. I find it absolutely ridiculous. Saying that you can't really compare them is silly since they're both in the same franchise, and the gameplay is not all that different from eachother. The only difference is that Bioshock Infinite gave you much more open space to get around your enemies (not to mention the tears), and Bioshock1 made you fight enemies in really small and confined rooms.
Except they aren't connected in that way. At all. I'm pretty sure Rapture and Columbia exist in different universes. Andrew Ryan was like Comstock, Dr. Tenenbaum was like the Lutece twins, and Atlas was like Daisy Fitzroy.
To make a point. "A man chooses, a slave obeys." In that scene you are literally forced to kill him. You lose control of your character and watch as you beat him to death. It's a statement about how powerless you really are in the grand scheme of things.
- SPOILER ALERT - 0:46 He says that rapture was build in the 40s, at the end of infinite, you visit rapture for a few seconds, the date is around 1912. Nothing makes sense anymore.
@IParaXero that was just a summary of the first Bioshock. In Bioshock 2 you star a Big Daddy (the very first actually) who has to find his little sister. I think its like 10 years aftrr the first game? Either way Infinite has nothing to do with the first 2 games in story or setting so you'd be fine... But they are awesome games that you should play :D
@trana500 No, Dr. Suchong created the Big Daddies. Under Ryan's orders though. Suchong also created the bond between Big Daddies and Little Sisters. Suchong actually is killed because of this. While working on an experiment one day, he gets angry at a Little Sister and slaps her, resulting in her Big Daddy killing him. You actually go to Suchong's apartment near the end of the game and see the Big Daddie's drill still stuck in his corpse.
Just finished this and I had no idea wat happened throughout the story, this really helped me since i was playing the game not even knowing the name of the guy i was playing as.
5mins is not nearly long enough to explain this epic game, but hey I'm only 6yrs late to this video lol
lol me to
I've only known a bit of the story, and I was in love. Now, I don't know how to feel when I know everything. The idea of this game amazes me, it's so perfect and amazing and cool.
Donnie Greene me to
The telling of the story and its unfolding is even better than the story.
I LOVE this game. I have played it twice and will play it again.
Donnie Greene I guess I’m 7
"...and just like real life, Jack's happiness is determined by how many little girl's he's killed..." It's just so true though...
This made my day :)
Solid gold!
Wait a minute! HOW DO YOU KNOW!?!?! FBI WE GOT A REAL SICKO OVER HERE! ;D
I thought I knew rapture really well, but that "Jack is Ryan's kid" thing really threw me off.
wow these bioshock games are really mind boggling even infinite
ESPECIALLY infinite
yes infinite wsrfare

I never caught on to the fact that we play as Andrew Ryan's son
Im sure they even flat out say you do
you mean frank fontaine
i only heard fontaine saying you were his son
+Jeremy Kohler (Jeremysonfire) you play as andrew ryans son.
Jeremy Kohler he refers to you as his son because he made you, from Andrew Ryan's DNA.
I really want to know, am I the only one who thinks that the plot and partially the story, along with the atmosphere in Bioshock are kinda similar to Shutter Island?

The story is actually very similar. "There's always a man, always a city.. always a girl."
i've played all 3 bioshock games and i love them all each one has something that makes it unique bioshock 2 you get to understand the big daddy's perspective/ side of things along with the weapon+plasmid use and upgradeability, infinit explains how rapture got the technology to make plasmids and big daddies while exploring a giant flying city that hasn't completely fallen to ruin and the first one in my opinion holds a beauty and air that makes you just feel so... ah just fantastic and each one has an amazing story

when this was uploaded, RUclips was such a different place.
I love this damn game so much
me too .. addicted
Hope one they there comes a game as awesome and original as this man. Blew my mind
@Anonymous7165 Late Response - The Wicker Man, is the movie my man!
I really want an HD remake of this bioshock game but with more story, more plasmids,more guns, more levels and a newgame+
it already is HD lol.
And a new ending.
I know what you mean though.
aldrin Mac It cooould happen... in about 5 years. Maybe. I would like a better ending... but the new plasmids, guns, etc. wouldn't happen. (reason being it'd be a REMAKE)
New Game+ would be nice, though.
Or you know bioshock 4 lmao instead of a game thats fine, being remade pointlessly
I never knew Jack's history... Thanks for finally telling me, after such a long time.
Here from supermega
My little boys
Probably the only thing i like about IGN. They make fun nutshell vids
I love how Sanders Masterpiece is playing in the background most of the video
Thank you I all i want was a short definition of what bishock is and when I looked it up I kept findings nothing but walk throughs
"instead of finding a talking crab and a hot mermaid" you know Ariel is actually a minor
only thing they got wrong was how old jack was. Fontaine talks about how jack survived World War II and rapture with out a scratch. he is a little older than you think.
Your confusing Fontaines speech about Tennenbaum with the character of Jack
At the end of Bioshock: Infinite Dewitt ends up in the ocean ship finds him and picks him up after he gets better he has amnesia and doesn't know who he is.

Do Bioshock 2
I love this game. I can't wait for Bioshock 2!
How was it?
I figured this was a pretty old video from the thumbnail, but I didn’t think *that* old.

Nathan McKitrick
You really have to play all 3 games + Burial At Sea to really get the story.
Moses Guerrero that's his point though. You shouldn't have to do that to fully understand the FIRST game. It's one of Bioshocks biggest flaws
In my opinion if you listened to the audio diaries it's not too hard to connect the story
Yeah that's why you need to find as many diaries as you can. They contain a lot of information that is essential to the plot
I agree.
I loved all 3 games, but Infinite was the only one where i was really invested in the story because Elizabeth literally explains everything during the game.
In 1 and 2 you have to listen to these, sometimes really boring, audiotapes, and if you miss some of them, the story gets very confusing.

nice touch at the end with the party music :D
Wow Bioshock infinite is WAAAAY less scary. And I thought it was.
02:05 Can't stop laughing!!!

Jordan Harris oh well what ever it is its catchy
Outstanding summary! I finished the game 10 minutes ago and this little video summed upp all the important things.
Good work!

@EthanRedinger actually it's that there's always a man, a city, and a lighthouse, not a girl. (though arguably a girl as well.)
>Finally party in peace.
Ten years later, Sophia Lamb and Subject Delta pretty much destroy Rapture in their fights.
The real reason why is because Ryan's dream fell apart. His city of Rapture became the dictatorship/opressive government he tried so hard to get rid of and run away from. Rapture became what he hated most. After realizing this he tried to destroy Rapture by self destructuing it. But Jack stopped him so the only thing he had left was death. His dreams fell apart on themselves and in the end he acomplished nothing. Thats why he wanted you his son to put an end to him.
This is the reason why I had a 100% internet blackout until I completely finished it.
"Strange lighthouse in the middle of the ocean with an ancient submersible inside? oh hell, why not?!"

Basically. But I highly recommend playing it at least sometime.
actslly the Infinite was before rapture.But if you find the bird mechines in one and two, you actally will relieze that Rapture was in the air, before in the water.
I can't decide which bioshock I love more, this one or Infinite. ITS TOO HARD TO CHOOSE
Played bioshock two times through and it was one of the best games I've ever played
*deep breath* and when you are killed by Elizabeth before you become Comstock, you create a paradox. A paradox in which the events that led you to creating that paradox no longer exist. This reverses the clock on Booker and sends him to the only possibility in which he does not lose anna.
*sniffles,crys a bit* I have never wittnessed such a remarkable production, EVER! bravo to you sirs, BRAVO...
I feel like I missed a LOT by skipping most of the tapes but they’re just so long!! By the time I finish one I’ve already found 2 more
Its hard because a lot of the back story is in the hidden audio diaries around the game.
@UberTacoNoob
1. By minutrs do you mean seconds?
2. If so, the first 13 seconds were him introducing
Theres three endings, The good one (if you save all the little sisters), The mid one (If you save some and kill some) and the bad one (if you kill all the little sisters)
haha the atlas shrugged part was mindblowing
Someone needs to make a mod that plays that sound whenever you unleash those dreaded bees.
Where do Jack and Subject Delta keep all their weapons? It's easy to keep a pistol for Jack, but a DRILL for Delta? And how do they hold their weapons with one hand?
@TheKevinbrockett Yes, it's called bioshock infinite, look it up.

Dude, thats Hugh Hefner. He gave us the Playboy Bunnies, quite possibly the greatest gift men have received.
I honestly don't understand how you got thumbs up for that comment. I find it absolutely ridiculous.
Saying that you can't really compare them is silly since they're both in the same franchise, and the gameplay is not all that different from eachother.
The only difference is that Bioshock Infinite gave you much more open space to get around your enemies (not to mention the tears), and Bioshock1 made you fight enemies in really small and confined rooms.
@TheGangsternate It's part of the cinematic trailer for the first game
Except they aren't connected in that way. At all. I'm pretty sure Rapture and Columbia exist in different universes. Andrew Ryan was like Comstock, Dr. Tenenbaum was like the Lutece twins, and Atlas was like Daisy Fitzroy.
To make a point.
"A man chooses, a slave obeys."
In that scene you are literally forced to kill him. You lose control of your character and watch as you beat him to death. It's a statement about how powerless you really are in the grand scheme of things.
0:22 he said he is the only survivor but at the end of that game the bad ending there are survivors
I can't wait for the Bioshock movie. Let's hope they won't mess it up like Max Payne
this is a fantastic explication of bioshock 1 and funny as well. well done ign.
Nevermind, I misread a comment and mistook it for yours. Yea, I have no idea what the song is @ 5:00, but it's sick
2:05 perfect vioceover
- SPOILER ALERT -
0:46 He says that rapture was build in the 40s, at the end of infinite, you visit rapture for a few seconds, the date is around 1912. Nothing makes sense anymore.
Fallout 3 and Bioshock share the same 1940's-1950's vintage style
@IParaXero that was just a summary of the first Bioshock. In Bioshock 2 you star a Big Daddy (the very first actually) who has to find his little sister. I think its like 10 years aftrr the first game? Either way Infinite has nothing to do with the first 2 games in story or setting so you'd be fine... But they are awesome games that you should play :D
The first time I played Bioshock, it took me 4 minutes to get the balls to walk out of the Bathosphere
@trana500 No, Dr. Suchong created the Big Daddies. Under Ryan's orders though. Suchong also created the bond between Big Daddies and Little Sisters. Suchong actually is killed because of this. While working on an experiment one day, he gets angry at a Little Sister and slaps her, resulting in her Big Daddy killing him. You actually go to Suchong's apartment near the end of the game and see the Big Daddie's drill still stuck in his corpse.
When trying to belittle someone, it usually helps to proof read your comment first.
Just bought a combo pack of bioshock one and two with all dlc for thirty bucks. Great deal on Amazon. Can't wait to play these games again
