@grzzzzzzly Explain more. I can't quite understand what you're saying, he doesn't choose, Ryan tries to break the brainwash but still you obey. The hypnosis is only broken once Atlas reveals himself, he obviously didn't choose to kill Ryan because upon entering the first room it quickly becomes apparent that it was all a lie.
The game is a criticism to the book "Atlas Shrugged", which advocates extreme capitalism. Ryan believes in the ultimate liberal world, in which anyone only cares for himself, which failed as anyone can clearly observe by playing the game. This scene compresses all that. He chooses, and his choices are ultimately fatal. That is the point of the game, and the reason for it's brilliance.
I'd find it hard to even put down Ryan as my favorite villain, not because I don't think he's fascinating, but I don't think he's completely evil. In a way Ryan is more of a tragic hero, being destroyed by the greed and corruption of his ideals and soon even going against what he use to believe in. I know GLaDOS from Portal got a lot of praise (well deserved praise I might add) but I would honestly classify Andrew Ryan as one of the defining characters of this gaming generations.
Oh yeah this what you call video game story, oh what you play Call of Duty multiplayer only, I respect that, but CoD is not my cup of tea, so would you kindly shut the fuck up and play a good game, with story. I know now a days games are just for multiplayer but whoa a game with deep rich story is BIOSHOCK.
What I love about the two Bioshocks are how it gives you two opposite philosophies; Objectivism(Andrew Ryan) and Collectivism(Sophia Lamb) and shows you what happens when philosophies are corrupted by greed and arrogance. Where they become so twisted by Ryan and Lamb that they both are no longer practicing what they preach and go against the very principles they started with.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the work of a genius. Not just Ken Levine, but Armin Shimerman too! Especially at the part where Andrew is dying, god knows how he managed to make those realistic noises! Both Ken Levine's choice of dialogue, coupled with Armin Shimerman's amazing voice acting skills, helped create the astounding antagonist Andrew Ryan :D Great job you guys!
Andrew Ryan: "Now that I see you flesh-to-flesh and blood-to-blood I know I cannot raise my hand against you. But know this, you are my greatest disappointment."
If the Vita-Chambers work with Andrew Ryan's genetic code, shouldn't he have been brought back to live? I mean it worked with his son (you), so I don't see why it wouldn't work with him.
@EpicLoLGamers He deactivated it before you came in. You see it not functioning. That's what it was about - a man chooses, a slave obeys. He chose to die, then you were ushered on to the next objective.
This got to be the most powerful moment in any game I have played. Killing Ryan was so epic, and I don't mean that how I usually do. It was literally an epic moment, and was absolutely amazing to play through. I was awe-struck at the end. It was just so well done. Man, this is why games like Bioshock could never be the same each playthough. You just don't get the same twist and emotion from this ever again! WOW!
The vita-chamber does work; I managed to resurrect in the vita-chamber in the first room by committing suicide just before triggering Ryan's death scene. After Ryan died, I was unable to damage myself though (I was immune to all damage).
Granted, this doesn't mean that he survived. In the end, this is just a game, and the game's developers can do whatever they want with him. Hell, they can have Ryan ascend to godhood and become the patron deity of twinkies if they wanted to.
@jadaski1 The one in the first main room isn't what they are talking about. The turned off vita chamber is in Ryan's office along the back wall behind his glass, you can't get to it without the cutscene. It is rather dark and easy to miss without being all lit up but it's there. Ryan turned his own chamber off in order to truly die.
If I recall it even comes up when you highlight it as "Deactivated Vita-Chamber"
@Bhargos I don't think he really died. There's a fully functional Vita-Chamber in the first room, and the diary right beside it says that Ryan is tuned to the thing. When he orders you to kill him, he's both attempting to break your mind-control and fake his own death.
I haven't played past this point or the second game, so I have no idea if I'm correct.
@jadaski1 Actually, that Vita Chamber doesn't function in his office, there iss another one hidden in the back but it is deactivated, which proves that he wanted to die and that he isn't coming back. Hope this helps.
I agree, in terms of story. Bioshock 2 didn't really pull you in as much as the first bioshock did. Not at all. Okay, you're Johnny topside, Elanor is your daughter, some people along the way fucked you up and you get a chance for revenge. Not nearly as engaging as this giant mindfuck of a plot twist from the first game.. Damn it gave me the chills when i first witnessed it.
@Rav0n The sad thing is that Bioshock 2 actually had a great chance to expand on the universe of the game. You got to visit areas that were only mentioned in the first game. Fontaine's Home for the Poor, other parts of the orphanage, Fontaine Futuristics, you had a chance to see more of the game world and take a deeper look into Ryan and Fontaine's motivations and war. But they fouled it up apart from that one part where you were walking around as a little sister.That was cool. The rest sucked.
@xGeneralGrievousx i know, i was like WAAAAAAATT?!, so I substituted my own version that Fontaine kills atlas and that I had to get to Fontaine to avenge Atlas, i liked the kind young irish man, not so much the adam-controlling mobster
@xGeneralGrievousx i know right, when I learned that atlas was Fontaine I was like WHAAAAAAA?!?!, so in my mind i recreated the story so that Fontaine kills atlas and you have to avenge Atlas by killing Fontaine so you can get out of this hell-hole. I liked the idea of a young irish man with constant good manners saying "would you kindly" after everything. I didnt like the idea of a smuggler/murderer who was using you. :p
This shouldn't be a game; it should be a novel, or at least a movie.. The message is so deep and it has such an amazing and unexpected plot twist, it would be like something you'd expect from a bestseller
@Imadl95 I disagree. Bioshock needs to be a videogame. No other medium could do it the same justice; a movie can't capture a player's thoughts and individuality, and a book can't engross them with sensation and detail in the same way. Only a videogame can allow people to experience their own personalized journey through a story, allow them to think and act both as the character and as themselves, and that's why I think Bioshock is one of the prime arguments that video games are art.
@hazeman671 lol readin in now actually and i still dont see how bioshock would be bad as a book since its principles are kinda the opposite of atlas shrugged
Armin Shimerman delivers one of the greatest monologues and truest speeches in all of video game history. Andrew Ryan will forever be Rapture. The city is just not the same without him.
i didn't like this game. i think I'm the only one who found it too much for me. For the hour or so I played it I suppose I had fun with it though. This twist was amazing, but the game was meh.
Actually I still don't really understand. Why does Andrew Ryan let you kill him? He even commands you to do it. Was it perhaps to show the twisted crazy nature of this man? Or perhaps Andrew Ryan knew he had no chance of survival... Can someone please explain?
Everytime I see this I get goosebumps. This part is sooooooo well done; the rising violins, the kickass voice acting, the "holyfuckholyfuckholyfuckwhatisgoingtohappen" feeling you get the first time you go through it...a true work of art, this game.
When he held up that golf club, just before handing it to me, I thought he was going to hit me. I was like, I CAN'T MOVE! I CAN'T MOVE! CRAP CRAP CRAP!
Andrew Ryan was the great man all along; the man with the extraordinary will and vision that built Rapture. He chooses not to die by the hand of a slave (you) but by the act of a man- of himself by demanding you to commit the deed. He dies by the power of his own will as a man. By a hand led by the only magnificent will he deserved to be struck down by- his own.
Were Bioshock a movie, this scene would be legendary.
But what did the puppy had to do with it? Call peta! So this means there were puppies in rapture! They should make bioshock 3 - puppies revenge, adam filled murderes puppies tearing up rapture.
@roiliat There was an audio diary where your character as a child was made to break the dogs neck by Dr. Suchong, as a test of the mental programming.
There is indeed a season for all things, and now that I see you, flesh-to-flesh and blood-to-blood, I know I cannot raise my hand against you. But know this: You are my greatest disappointment.
Does your master hear me? Atlas?! You can kill me, but you will never have my city! My strength is not in steel and fire, that is what the parasites will never understand!
A season for all things! A time to live and a time to die, a time to build... and a TIME, TO DESTROY!
Man this game is deep. Think of Rapture as the capitalist utopia, where everything is privately owned and invested. But when ADAM came into the picture, the president Andrew Ryan (the government) attempted to sieze it, thus sparking the civil war. Jack is the soldier of Fontaine, who blindly obeys like a slave believing that good will come out of it. However, in this scene you realize that even if you kill Ryan, someone worse will take his place, continuing the cycle of corruption.
@grzzzzzzly Explain more. I can't quite understand what you're saying, he doesn't choose, Ryan tries to break the brainwash but still you obey. The hypnosis is only broken once Atlas reveals himself, he obviously didn't choose to kill Ryan because upon entering the first room it quickly becomes apparent that it was all a lie.

Everytime I see this I get goosebumps. This part is sooooooo well done; the rising violins, the kickass voice acting, the "holyfuckholyfuckholyfuckwhatisgoingtohappen" feeling you get the first time you go through it...a true work of art, this game.

When he held up that golf club, just before handing it to me, I thought he was going to hit me. I was like, I CAN'T MOVE! I CAN'T MOVE! CRAP CRAP CRAP!

Andrew Ryan was the great man all along; the man with the extraordinary will and vision that built Rapture. He chooses not to die by the hand of a slave (you) but by the act of a man- of himself by demanding you to commit the deed. He dies by the power of his own will as a man. By a hand led by the only magnificent will he deserved to be struck down by- his own.
Were Bioshock a movie, this scene would be legendary.

But what did the puppy had to do with it? Call peta! So this means there were puppies in rapture! They should make bioshock 3 - puppies revenge, adam filled murderes puppies tearing up rapture.

@roiliat There was an audio diary where your character as a child was made to break the dogs neck by Dr. Suchong, as a test of the mental programming.

There is indeed a season for all things, and now that I see you, flesh-to-flesh and blood-to-blood, I know I cannot raise my hand against you. But know this: You are my greatest disappointment.
Does your master hear me? Atlas?! You can kill me, but you will never have my city! My strength is not in steel and fire, that is what the parasites will never understand!
A season for all things! A time to live and a time to die, a time to build... and a TIME, TO DESTROY!

Man this game is deep. Think of Rapture as the capitalist utopia, where everything is privately owned and invested. But when ADAM came into the picture, the president Andrew Ryan (the government) attempted to sieze it, thus sparking the civil war. Jack is the soldier of Fontaine, who blindly obeys like a slave believing that good will come out of it. However, in this scene you realize that even if you kill Ryan, someone worse will take his place, continuing the cycle of corruption.

The assassin has overcome my final defense, and now he's come to murder me...
One of my favorite lines of Ryan's, says it with such a perfect sarcastic tone.
