Quick note about this series! Bioshock, as it turns out, contains a LOT of copyrighted music. So there will be at least one instance in each video of 1-2 minutes where the audio is a little "off" - this is because I had to remove the background music in certain sequences. I tried to preserve as much as I could though! Thanks for watching
Your efforts are appreciated John, love that you are playing a greater variety of games these days, your none horror game play throughs are some of my favourites, Doom 2016 didn’t get the viewership it deserved. You might enjoy Prey 2017 assuming you haven’t played it, it’s kinda like Bioshock and Dishonoured had a baby very much a play your way make your way experience or put simply it’s an immersive sim.
Came down to the comments to ask about the audio specifically haha, thanks for preempting that. Sorry you had to deal with those issues but it's fun to revisit this game! Been an absolute age since I played so I've forgotten a great deal of it by now.
Fun Fact: The reason Jack can "see ghosts" is that Adam can still have the DNA of previous users because of how it's recycled. The ghosts are actually memories of the people that used your Adam before you got to it.
The only game I ever played as a kid that my dad sat down and watched me play everytime I turned it on. He was an arcade kid and the only 3D game he played was Doom, so this game opened his eyes to how incredible in atmosphere and writing modern games were.
The one thing I do EVERY TIME when replaying this game is after getting out of the water, I watch and wait and watch the tail of the plane go under the water 😂
@@RahulkumarMakNah just like John said this is a top 20 game of all time. And this is getting more views than all his other games. So too bad your opinion doesn’t matter
I knew a guy in college who was a _huge_ Ayn Rand bro, he knew he was the clever special boy, etc. and he LOVED this game like it was made just for him. It was interesting to watch him just Not Get It. But it's a great game and he was happy, so hey, good times. I'm excited to see it again after so long!
I rescued all the sisters my first play and wanted to harvest the second time, but I just found the animation too disturbing and just rescued the rest of them. I credit this game with something Gary loves: sound effects. The hack sound effects play in my head to this day and are a classic “player do good thing”
Netflix are making a Bioshock movie supposedly..thank you for playing this, even if I did vote for it on the charity stream, I usually re play it once a year myself, the console version is kind of janky too lol
I tried to get through this game alot when I was younger and for whatever reason I never could...I honestly think it creeped me out too much, idk. Not being able to then ruined me ever getting into the other games. I can't explain how stoked I am to see you replaying this and being able to "play" the game 17 years later.
1:52 I so totally agree. I accidentally walked in on my cousin playing it before I had ever played a video game. I sat and watched him play totally transfixed. Years later, I saved a copy of a Game Informer about the sequel when I saw it in a GameStop because I had never learned the name of the game. But I immediately recognized the art style and knew they were related. Once I was old enough to buy my own computer, BioShock and Infinite were a couple of the first two games I bought. I basically have the entire game memorized by this point. So I guess I want to say thank you for replaying this.
Looks like I'm getting one of the best experiences having never played or watched Bioshock gameplay. I was NOT expecting to go underwater to a whole city holy cr- I'm excited!
Looking through my subs and seeing this pop up was the most excitingly delightful surprise of the month This is still one of my favorite games since I played it as a kid and I'm excited to watch someone play it for the first time rather than be behind the controller
John! Thank you for your commitment to trying to keep this spoiler free. I know it’s an old game, but I’ve never played it before. I know it’s a huge favorite in the community, and I’m so excited to see why. 💗
No way! Bioshock was one of my first xbox games I got super into as a kid. On top of that, with John playing this is game this series is going to kick ass. Super excited to see all the goofs to come.
The safe hacks really do be the meanest. Also, in case you do want to explore every area fully, you can always go back using the bathysphere! Happy Father's Day, John!
John you play this exactly how i play this i explore every little nook and cranny not only for the loot and lore but also to appreciate all the details and environments
EDIT- I I just got done typing my first comment and John literally had to say what I did haha. Seriously one of the greatest intro.. sequences and openings ever
This game came out when I started watching let's plays and I like to rewatch a playthrough every 2-3 years because it is such a great game. Thank you for providing a new playthrough for me to watch!!
No way!! Oh man this is gonna be a great playthrough I already feel it, I absolutely loved your old Bioshock playthrough and I'm looking forward to this one!
Can't wait to see more. Tried playing one of these games years ago but it scared me too much - and I'm generally awful at FPS games! Very pleased to follow along on John's playthrough. I wanted to love this game so much!
I just bought the bioshock collection because its on sale and I'm playing the original ver! But since I'm a scaredy cat, I stopped midway and came here to watch you play first then I'll continue lol I didn't expect it to be scary from the get go
Atmosphere in this game is wonderful, and yeah it holds no punches. The first time I got the game years ago I had to put it down pretty quickly as well. 😂
I just watched a video essay on Bioshock recently and was planning replaying it, but I can'tfind the time. So when you were making references to it during your recent (not)lethal company video I was like "wouldn't it be cool if John replayed it" so rly I gotta thank the stream viewers for voting for this!!!
It's been AGES since I've seen this game!! I don't even know if I ever finished watching it (was too scared at the time to play it myself, although I tried haha). No spoilers from me, I'm glad to be rewatching it :)
Excited that you're playing Bioshock!!! And I somehow have never actually seen or played it, so a big thank you for trying to keep spoilers out of the comments
So so so glad you’re playing John! And this game is even older than 13 years-it originally came out in 2007 (6 years before Outlast kind of changed the game). So it’s almost 20 years old!
Man this was such a nostalgia trip! i remember when i first played this as a teen and being absolutely blown away! One of if not my favorite game of all time!
The chatterbox-y combat around 32:00 gave me a 3 second deja-vu feeling like Mother Gooseberry was about to show up. (Also that sign: "New Year's Day 1959"...knowing I'll be born in 10 more years gave me a right 'oof' to my heart, lol.) Thank You John for your daily uploads - I'm about to have foot surgery and while it's not serious, I'll have to be off of it for quite a bit; a Bioshock playthrough will be THE BEST MEDICINE!🎉☺
The first reveal of Rapture with the violin swelling reminds me of the first Outlast too after the priest immolate himself, so was this presentation at 8:52 and especially 1:12:15 , something straight out of the Outlast. This game was so influential to so many games, yet it's still underrated enough to not have been adapted into a live-action series or movies. That's crazy to think.
Lol it's so fun to see this game again, I played it a long time ago and I didn't remember how chaotic it was to see the enemies launch themselves at you while saying random things
Bioshock was one of the very first games I played on the ps3 when it came out, I was a lot younger then and it’s a super nostalgic game for me, I’ll need to replay it myself some time soon too!
It's been a while since I watched this game, but I swear to get that key you have to look through the broken window beside the door and teleport the key to you with the telekinesis power. Might be confusing it with another area, but I am really enjoying the heck out of this replay, very happy!
Oh man, the intro and so many memories. I'm getting goosebumps. Thanks for this john. Makes me want to jump back into Rapture now! The game looks sooo good yet and the chilling music. I could keep going.
I'm glad that you're playing Bioshock 1, John! It is an amazing game that has a special place in my heart. And I love the reference to Pipe Dream/Pipe Mania (28:50). I grew up with playing the OG pipe game too and when I played Bioshock, the hacking mini game got me all nostalgic, but I couldn't remember the name of the game.
I knew this series was coming, but it was still such a pleasant surprise to see this video pop up on my home page! Enjoying it so far! And it's so dumb that people are so judgey about the Little Sisters lol. Can't wait for the next one! Thanks John :)
I've just been thinking of watching this game's playthrough again! I've forgotten about most of the details and it's nice to revisit it, through John again nonetheless
Yay! Thanks for playing this John! Was so excited to see this pop up! I know it’s too soon I’m sure but would love you see you play through the bioshock series! So stoked!
I've been so excited for your replay! I only remember the big plot twist and the ending, so I'm grateful to basically relive this amazing game all over again! Thank you!!!!

Thanks for explaining, I was curious why it sounded a little strange.
You have no idea how happy I am to see this. I still remember One Late Night. That's what made me subscribe.

oh shit that's awesome! never knew that
I've always loved the tile card where the light rotates around "BIOSHOCK" and the shadows turn into rust and mold and wear. Great little transition!
Dang I've never noticed that. I was always too focused on the actual shadows.
The only game I ever played as a kid that my dad sat down and watched me play everytime I turned it on. He was an arcade kid and the only 3D game he played was Doom, so this game opened his eyes to how incredible in atmosphere and writing modern games were.
Its such a joy to hear John say a game is fun.
My favorite playthroughs are those where he really likes the game lol
Dude had no hesitation injecting himself with a strange chemical.
It does make sense later though.
I thought I remembered Nothing about this game until I heard the circus of value jingle and it all came rushing back to me LOL
For REAL
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA TELL YOUR FRIENDS
"welcome to the circus of valueee!" Ahh memories.
“AHH HA HA HA HA HAAAA”
Come back when ya get some money buddy!
i cannot wait for el ammo bandito
John, you don’t know how badly I have been wanting you to do this for so long. This is crazy out of nowhere.
Well to be fair… not quite out of nowhere…
I saw this and said "oh???" out loud while pressing a hand to my chest - so excited for this series!!
You should go to a Dovtor, sounds like you have heart problems!
Oh man, the music, the sounds, the voices, the little jingles... so many memories! I love it :D. The sound design in this game is just phenomenal.
The one thing I do EVERY TIME when replaying this game is after getting out of the water, I watch and wait and watch the tail of the plane go under the water 😂
we are so back
We’re HARSHLY CRITICAL.
literally never have been more back
we are way too back, he should've pick something new

I found myself staring intensely at the pipe pieces you were looking for like it was going to make any difference. Lol.
I adore Bioshock, it was one of the first games I played as a kid and along with Fallout it gave me my love for 40's and 50's music 🙂
JWolfe Shareholding approves of this bro'dcast

Netflix are making a Bioshock movie supposedly..thank you for playing this, even if I did vote for it on the charity stream, I usually re play it once a year myself, the console version is kind of janky too lol
Hopefully that's a good thing! (the Netflix bit)
Unusually early for this, but I immediately jumped into this when I saw it in my feed. Already so excited to see what’s next.

"you have nothing of value to say" unlike... "wwwelcome to the circus of value!" yeess already hooked on this playthrough!
Fav youtuber playing one of my fav games? What a treat.
Looks like I'm getting one of the best experiences having never played or watched Bioshock gameplay. I was NOT expecting to go underwater to a whole city holy cr- I'm excited!
You are in fr a damn treat!
Looking through my subs and seeing this pop up was the most excitingly delightful surprise of the month
This is still one of my favorite games since I played it as a kid and I'm excited to watch someone play it for the first time rather than be behind the controller
I love that John mentioned no spoilers I have never seen this game and hear a lot about it. I'm excited to see. ❤ Thank you ❤
John! Thank you for your commitment to trying to keep this spoiler free. I know it’s an old game, but I’ve never played it before. I know it’s a huge favorite in the community, and I’m so excited to see why. 💗
My favorite game!! Hahaha during the charity livestreams, I was one of the bioshock bros 😂
@32:30 the game is actually almost 17 years old! Still probably in my top 20 as well. Wonderful game :)
No way! Bioshock was one of my first xbox games I got super into as a kid. On top of that, with John playing this is game this series is going to kick ass. Super excited to see all the goofs to come.
Guessing ahead of time, as a dad now, John will save all the little sisters.
@8:51 The first two times I attempted to play this game I freaked out and threw my controller. Such a great game!! So glad you're replaying.
This is the game that made me want to make games. Glad to be here for it!
I’ve somehow never played or watched this game, can’t wait to finally experience it and who better to watch play!
The safe hacks really do be the meanest. Also, in case you do want to explore every area fully, you can always go back using the bathysphere! Happy Father's Day, John!
John you play this exactly how i play this i explore every little nook and cranny not only for the loot and lore but also to appreciate all the details and environments
EDIT- I I just got done typing my first comment and John literally had to say what I did haha. Seriously one of the greatest intro.. sequences and openings ever
This is such an iconic game. Truly one of a kind back then. Still absolutely adore it to this day ❤

No way!! Oh man this is gonna be a great playthrough I already feel it, I absolutely loved your old Bioshock playthrough and I'm looking forward to this one!
i know it’s a stretch but i hope he plays all of them over time :) so excited for this one john!!!
YES please!!
Can't wait to see more. Tried playing one of these games years ago but it scared me too much - and I'm generally awful at FPS games! Very pleased to follow along on John's playthrough. I wanted to love this game so much!
Another game I have never played or seen - glad to experience it here

This takes me back to 2007 when I first played this game.
This is my first time watching bioshock! I only played infinite so im suuuper excited! Thank you for keeping it spoiler free, i know its hard 😂
I don’t think you understand how happy this made me.. i rewatch your play through of Bioshock ALL the time. Fav game
Love watching people play this game. I could never. The amount of foreshadowing is insane.
Glad you're replaying bioshock, awesome game series!
I wanted to replay this recently, but now I’d rather watch your playthrough! I’m sure I’ll enjoy it much more :)
So excited to see you play this again! In my top five games of all time
omg yessss 😭 this is my favorite game of all time! I’m so glad you’re replaying it!

You know, I’ve never fully watched a playthrough of Bioshock before, but now is the time especially with you playing it, John!
Thank you kindly for playing this game, one of my favourites too
Thanks John. Having a roughhhhhh time and this truly made my week after finishing the lost city series
I hope things get better for you!
@@samwisegamgee1243 thank you for that kindness! I hope so too!
It's been AGES since I've seen this game!! I don't even know if I ever finished watching it (was too scared at the time to play it myself, although I tried haha). No spoilers from me, I'm glad to be rewatching it :)
the scream i let out when i saw this. my all time favourite game played by my all time favourite youtube is all i need
I've never seen any Bioshock gameplay, so im very excited!
Hard to believe this game is 17 years old - a classic now. Love it.
Excited that you're playing Bioshock!!! And I somehow have never actually seen or played it, so a big thank you for trying to keep spoilers out of the comments
ohhh this game is what got me into vintage-style horror themes, I love it so much. I never saw you play it before so I'm sooooooo excited!
This is my childhood game!! I was like 5 or 6, probably shouldn't have been playing it lmao
You were a brave child! 🥲
I am loving the eyebrows of foreshadowing
I never finished bio shock, i will watch to the end here.
So so so glad you’re playing John! And this game is even older than 13 years-it originally came out in 2007 (6 years before Outlast kind of changed the game). So it’s almost 20 years old!
Excited for this play! Bioshock is an amazing game!
Side note, I wish he'd play Vampyr at some point too. Haha
Nahhh. I honestly don't know how people like that one. It genuinely doesn't seem fun to play.
I totally agree one of my favorite games and one of the best intros, the art and soundtrack 👌 one of the best ❤ great series John.🎉
Man this was such a nostalgia trip! i remember when i first played this as a teen and being absolutely blown away! One of if not my favorite game of all time!

@@floatingdisembodiedhead8975 Well if the other game-to-show projects do well ...they might cast a wider net. Hopefully.
@@floatingdisembodiedhead8975 and if you’ve played whistleblower, doctor ssteinman and eddie gluskin feel a lot alike
my favorite. it still looks and sounds so beautiful. thank you for choosing to replay!!! ❤
Lol it's so fun to see this game again, I played it a long time ago and I didn't remember how chaotic it was to see the enemies launch themselves at you while saying random things
Hell yeah, go John! Rooting for you! Sending lots of love to you and the family! Stay safe!
I remember you playing this for the first time ;0; im.so happy to see you replay this!!❤

Thanks John for the nostalgia. I’m glad you’re playing a classic
Can't tell you how terrifying yet fantastic this game was- is. Definitely nostalgic, It will always be a favorite
I've just been thinking of watching this game's playthrough again! I've forgotten about most of the details and it's nice to revisit it, through John again nonetheless
So hyped for this playthrough ! Couldn’t believe when I saw it; had to do a double take that it said lost hours ago and not years lol
I remember seeing your first gameplay of this game on RUclips. Thank you for playing it again! Can't wait to binge this.
Yay! Thanks for playing this John! Was so excited to see this pop up! I know it’s too soon I’m sure but would love you see you play through the bioshock series! So stoked!
The way I’ve been trying to find a YT let’s play of this and then you post this 😭 you get me John, still the only let’s player I watch!
John! You forgot to grab the chaos diamond. Shadow is going to be angry..
This is so exciting! I've also recently started replaying the remastered version! It's one of my absolute favorite games ever!
I've been so excited for your replay! I only remember the big plot twist and the ending, so I'm grateful to basically relive this amazing game all over again! Thank you!!!!
One of my favorite games of all time and my favorite RUclipsr - time to settle in and get comfy for a great series.
this game is my favourite to exist, I have so many things and have read the book back to back, im so excited to see it get recognition again :,)
Sooo excited for this playthrough!! I haven't played this game in years. So keen to watch you play 😁💖
