r/Bioshock

I'm waiting to see my new optometrist. His name is Dr. Steinman. I expect to walk out asymmetrical and fabulous.

Wish me luck.

I've been playing through bioshock 2 for my friend and I've gotten to this point in the game. I swear back in the day when you got to the choice of killing or sparing Alexander, Sinclair would come on the radio and tell you that you could do an alternate thing of killing him that was more painful and that would give you a bunch of Adam. I can't find this option in game and googling it doesn't seem to find anything.

Like burial at sea, and in general BioShock infinite kind of tied everything up.

The series didn’t really die
It just finished on its own terms

But of course, with the element of multiple dimensions
And the fact that there will always be a man, a city, and a lighthouse.

There’s technically another city like rapture or Columbia

That we would explore
Should franchise continue dealing with Bio, engineered monsters and philosophies ?

What the fuck they improved and toughened up Elizabeth just to to kill her off

I’m 23 now and I’ve had jacks chain tattoos around 5 years. The game itself influenced my love of swing music, Lovecraftian horror, and an all around love of anything old school. I really think there is something in these games for everyone.

My family has always struggled with substance abuse. The whole idea that this city is filled with super power junkies killing themselves for another hit was something I quickly fell in love with even as a youngster. Jacks tattoos symbolizing his life as a slave to his dna was something I always loved. And the good ending🥹 he chose freedom over power. Power over one’s self. The ability to choose what’s best for you. And not in an objectivist way. But in a spiritual human way. I hope everyone can experience a fate like Jack. Dying of old age surrounded by a family who loves you. A family you chose to have.

Andrew Ryan being a play on Ayn Rand with a little Walt Disney is such a perfect villain. I love him I hate him I love to hate him. His quotes are unforgettable. His dark past and mysterious outlook on life was something to take note of. “A man chooses! A slave obeys!” Is burned into my mind. “We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us” is great. or some personal favorites “10,000 Adam to any man or woman who can bring me there head!” And “which one of the bitches sent you? The kgb wolf?The cia Jackal?” And “kill me! Would you kindly.” His final moment he’s giving his “son” a chance at freedom. Showing him this whole time he’s been a pawn. A mindless muscle sent to kill his “father”.
You make it to the man with the answers. And his only answer is to show you have mindless you truly are. “ATLAS! You may kill me! But you’ll never have my city!” He’s just so cool.

Over all my favorite thing about bioshock is its themes. Self sacrifice, overcoming evil nature, antiobjectivism, and the idea that YOU hold the power to change your life and no one else. This idea that no matter how addicted you are to something. You have the power to change and you alone.
A man chooses a slave obeys.❤️‍🩹

Thanks for reading would you kindly tell me your favorite things!?

I just started my second run of BioShock and it's great. Nice to have an extra challenge and to completely upgrade my weapons. But I had a question for the veterans of BioShock about Atlas. Did anyone actually believe him first go round? I mean of course I did the first time. But going through it again you catch what you miss the first time. So I'm asking did anyone Actually believe him first go round? Or were you immediately suspicious?
