Thanks for all your hard work with the music! I’ve been loving this series so much, this is one of my top 10 favorite games and I haven’t played it in a long time so it’s so nice to see you play through it!🎉❤
Bioshock is amazing, it is so fun to relive it through your gameplay. Easy mode is hilarious, but I'm glad you got the mode fixed. I've had similar issues with the game switching my settings.
I have such fond memories of playing through this series with my mom! Thank you for playing through this series! And thank you for all of the hard work you put into this channel!
Loving the game so far. That pessimistic fortune teller was a good bit. Thank you for all you do to put these videos out! Edited to add: Sander Cohen seems like a blowhard but I get why he might be a "fan favorite". It's always so funny to me when you have to deal with egotistical diehard artistic types.
I figured something had to have been up with the difficulty. Because I'm playing through the game at the same time these videos are coming out and the big daddies were NOT going down that easy in my plaaythrough 😅
Don't stress John, no one actually believes you consciously decided to play a 17 year old ps2 game on easy. You could tell the easiness of it was starting to negatively effect your enjoyment of the game tho so glad you figured it out:)
I know it’s the popular opinion, but I really do genuinely love Fort Frolic and Sander Cohen. I’m sad there aren’t any grand set pieces or stand out characters like them in Bioshock 2… however Bioshock 2 makes up for it by having far superior gameplay Edit: I think Sander’s appeal is that he is so eccentric and unhinged. He reminds me a lot actually of the director character from Manhunt 1, the one that chatters in your ear the whole time. Some pompous guy who thinks he’s making something special with no self awareness. Very much a “love to hate” scenario. Sure the “unhinged, evil artist” character is a bit over done, but Sander is still very dear to me regardless
"Ooh, action shot! J Jonah Jameson would pay good money for that!" ajadshj I was thinking when John first got the camera that the guy asking for all the photos was in like full JJJ mode with how he was asking for them 😭
Personally I've always like Cohen as a character but as a person I would 100% hate him. His section of the game is always the most fascinating, but he's the tired trope of "Narcisstic Artist" to a fucking T.
John: why do people even like Sander Cohen so much?? me: *Theater kids.* (Sander Cohen is entertaining and Fort Frolic has some cool moments like the ballet attackers, but I also like Arcadia more because the environment is so cool. BioShock has some very cool settings/ideas with its premise of the underwater city bit.)
I had a hell of a time when I put to hard mode on this game. I kept blasting the rosies and bouncers with frag rounds, shotgun and incendiary bolts. The crossbow reload is so slow but it gives alot of damage
So if you have the security camera hacked in the "waiting for the lazarus vector" gauntlet and have natural camouflage on you can just wait for the bots to clear everyone out, it's kinda a broken tonic imo
So the first miniboss said Trans rights, and the final miniboss is a zany gay villain. Wow how unique and progressive of them. Now I remember why I forgot everything about those characters. (Also docking points from the doctor for thinking picasso was cool. How embarrassing for him.) ANYWAY how about those Elite Big Daddy battles? Those were wild. Good stuff.
Why does the machine you buy ammo from sound like jojo siwa 😂…. I’m loving this playthrough! Would you ever consider playing the remastered og tomb raider games?
Man, I know it's been years since I played, but I apparently blocked out Cohen. One of my least favorite sections of the game. It seems so fetch quest to me, and he can get down right annoying sometimes. But, hey: to each their own. I honestly don't care what difficulty you use as long as you are enjoying yourself.
I know you kept worrying about the difficulty, but honestly the one-hit wrench kills made it so entertaining lmfao. They just go flying
With the endless stream of splicers the one shots were so fun to see!
It just needs that Looney Toons ass "BONK" noise every time he does it lol
I second this
Fun Fact: The rosie variant of big daddies get their nickname from the World War 2 propaganda posters featuring Rosie the Riveter.
Because they carry a rivet gun :3
omg how did I not notice that?
I even went back to watch the first episode, and he did click Medium. That's funny, some how it decided to give John an Easy time.
Sorry to hear about the music - I really appreciate all the extra work you do for us. THANK YOU!
The amount of respect i have for john wolfe is unmeasurable.
I wonder if John Wolfe would be a good friend 🤔
No wonder it felt so easy 😂 I deff remember you putting it on medium what the heck! Lol
I’ve been enjoying this play through especially now that you take pictures of all the enemies. It cracks me up how you just whip it out lol
44:18 Fortune Teller: "So, ah... ya got a plot picked out yet?"
Cohen walked so Stefano Valentini in The Evil Within 2 could run lol
I love how you were saying you needed to spend your money on *something*, and then the fortune teller came along to offer a hand haha
Thanks for all your hard work with the music! I’ve been loving this series so much, this is one of my top 10 favorite games and I haven’t played it in a long time so it’s so nice to see you play through it!🎉❤
Revisiting Rapture has been so much fun! I love the Sander Cohen area so much because those creepy rabbit masks remind me of Donnie Darko
I had never noticed the bioshock influence in Outlast either, Cohen even sounds a bit like Gluskin. For a minute I even thought they had the same VA.
It also feels like We Happy Few took big inspiration from BioShock in turn.
Vertical squiggly made me laugh so hard 😂
"this game is too easy":
plot twist, it was on easy all this time
Bioshock is amazing, it is so fun to relive it through your gameplay.
Easy mode is hilarious, but I'm glad you got the mode fixed. I've had similar issues with the game switching my settings.
The muffled classical music while John beats people to death with a wrench is almost poetic in execution.

Thank you for checking difficulty setting.
Thanks, John this is really awesome watching you play BioShock
The amount of John Wolfe is immeasurable. Respect.
I figured something had to have been up with the difficulty. Because I'm playing through the game at the same time these videos are coming out and the big daddies were NOT going down that easy in my plaaythrough 😅
I knew you were flying through this way too easily lol. Was def entertaining to see them go flying with one hit tho 😂
Gotta love both John and Gab's excitement whenever they find creme-filled cakes, lol.
43:04 is easily my favorite fortune.
"Gimme a good one!"
"Mm, nah."
Don't stress John, no one actually believes you consciously decided to play a 17 year old ps2 game on easy. You could tell the easiness of it was starting to negatively effect your enjoyment of the game tho so glad you figured it out:)
1:32:14 I am not laughing AT you John, i am laughing WITH you 🤣
Yeah... the bouncers are the real threats in this game. They're whopping feet
Finally catching up on this series and NOOO THE BEES
I don't like Cohen per se, but I love this level because it's the creepiest and the most creative In my opinion. I love creepy things lol
I love how much fun you're having after fixing the difficulty (again)!
Loving watching you play through a great game I can’t bring myself to play, still.
Looking forward to the Alan Wake 2 and the Dredge dlcs.
An ace up my sleeve is classic
Classical music can get you DMCAd? Music that was originally written some two hundred years ago?!
the date of composition doesn't matter if the recording is of a recent performance. It's the performance that gets copyright enforced
@@JohnTwolfe that still seems a little unfair since the music itself is public domain

thanks john! ❤
This also reminds me of the artist section in evil inside 2
22:31 “I heard that, Curtis!”
1:06:40 I remember that piano part, there used to be a time I just listened to that becaue thought it was sick... Still sounds great
You get an achievement if you take a photo of Cohen, oh sweet irony
Personally I've always like Cohen as a character but as a person I would 100% hate him. His section of the game is always the most fascinating, but he's the tired trope of "Narcisstic Artist" to a fucking T.
I never realized the similarities between this and My Friendly Neighborhood 😂
John: why do people even like Sander Cohen so much??
me: *Theater kids.*

noooo! they took it away!
27:03 DA BIG REVEAL lmao

what's the game for the "an ace up my sleeve"? i don't remember the name
Its from layers of fear 2!
It's from Layers of Fear 2!
@@janiseallen239 thanks. that's all i need
All I want to know is. . .when will John be playing Indika? I would love to see his reactions to that game.
I vaguely remember Gary or someone raving about it in a Spine Chill episode or something, so maybe it's on John's list to play sometime?

Not the Layers of Fear 2 jumpscare 🤣
Any chance you’re playing the Elden Ring DLC that just came out? I know you enjoyed Elden Ring and Bloodborne, and i’ve played it and it’s great.
He responded to someone else who asked this that he'll probably play in July since he has some stuff to do at the end of the month.
@@samwisegamgee1243 Awesome, thanks for letting me know.
Why does the machine you buy ammo from sound like jojo siwa 😂…. I’m loving this playthrough! Would you ever consider playing the remastered og tomb raider games?
1:32:14 🤣🤣🤣
the hell?! music copyright for Bioshock?!
Is one of the slicers the VA for Harley Quinn in the Batman cartoon?
I don’t like Cohen’s intonation when he says “little moth”, it makes me extremely uncomfortable lol
Man, I know it's been years since I played, but I apparently blocked out Cohen. One of my least favorite sections of the game. It seems so fetch quest to me, and he can get down right annoying sometimes. But, hey: to each their own.
I honestly don't care what difficulty you use as long as you are enjoying yourself.
I like Sander Cohen because he’s fun to hate I guess. That and I think it’s hysterical that for all his boasting he’s actually a pretty shitty artist.
BioShock came out before OutLast. So OutLast was inspired by BioShock. Not the the other way around.
I miss your old playthroughs. I can't seem to find them, You must have deleted them.
(Have you looked on his main channel)
Oh interesting video you made and it was so cool to see and the video was so entertaining and enjoyable 😊😮😂😂
