I think the last moments of Andrew Ryan are amazing not just because they are spine chilling, but because in the end he just reminds you that you have no free will, that you are a slave, a pawn in the game, you follow every last order, he even orders you to kill him, and you do just that so his final moment when you kill him is his ultimate victory because by you killing him he proves that you are not a man, but a slave.
Whyamialive ? I don’t know I think Andrew Ryan as a pitiful being his death seems meh considering it could’ve been avoided had he not been such a punk ass little bitch. But that’s just me 🤷🏻♂️
So, my conclusion is as follows: Ryan knew he was done for. He had lost Rapture, and was defenseless. He knew he was going to die, but wanted to do so on his own terms. However, instead of just shooting himself or something similar, he commanded Jack to kill him to show Jack that he was a slave being controlled by Fontaine in a final effort to save his son and defeat Fontaine.
I think "save his son" is really an attempt to moralise him incorrectly and unnecessarily. Jack is only Ryan's son in regards to the fact they share the same genetic markers. Ryan is an ultimately selfish and spiteful man, why he would have love for a genetically mutated embryo that was sold by his then lover and used to unmake him is a bit strange considering his personality and history. What Ryan saw in Jack was basically the ultimate UNO reverse card, as Fontaine had used Jack to destroy Ryan, he would in turn manipulate Jack, albeit with the truth, and send him on the path of destroying Fontaine. Ryan's entire character is an exercise in spite. A man who lacks such staggering self-awareness and understanding of the world, that he thought man's greatest weakness was control, and not spite.
To me it was, “You were nothing but a slave, below me in every way! The only reason why you can kill me is because I ordered you to!” That to me is more fitting to Ryan’s personality.
You can tell Bioshock is a goddamn masterpiece. You, as the player, had no choice to disobey Fontaine in any regard other than how you went about collect Adam. You were a slave by the games' design.
Ryan wasn't a good man. But he had conviction. He had principles. He was devoted to a dream that would change lives. Fontaine was just a miserable worm. He was willing to step on everyone else to get what he wanted. He was nothing but greed and malice. I didn't like Ryan, but I respected him. The same won't ever be true of Fontaine.
Temna Senka I dunno if you were intending to, but in one of Arkham knight’s DLCs, Batman tells ras al ghul “ You weren’t a good man, but you had.... conviction.” Just kind of a funny coincidence.
I always thought both Ryan and Fontaine were basically the same, sure Fontaine didn't have any convictions other than himself, but this really isn't any different than Ryan; whose very convictions help give rise to Fontaine in the first place. Both sought to build their own empires for their own purposes and both were at bottom purely self-interested people with no goal beyond their own self-aggrandizement; just started from different places.
No Heroes Publishing But at least Ryan tried to build something for everybody else too instead of just himself like Fontaine, even if they WERE both corrupt, personally, I’d rather be on Ryan’s side then Fontaine’s.
@A youtube user He still had the decency to stand to face his death. I think if Jack knew everything and Ryan hadn't forced him, he wouldn't have gone through with it.
I like how Fontaine's mobster slang starts to bleed through Atlas's fake Irish accent when Ryan tries to destroy the city. "Get in their and whack him!!"
Andrew Ryan is of a Russian descent. His very last word "OBEY" here sounds very much like russian word "Убей (oo-bey)", an imperative singular form of word "убивать" - to kill, as if he is commanding us to kill
While I did notice that, it may be just a coincidence. With that being said, his initials, A.R., are the same as that of objectivism's creator, Ayn Rand. And she is of Russian descent.
I think in his last moments, Ryan hoped Jack had a fraction of the willpower he had. Too bad mental conditioning and genetic manipulation aren't so easily broken.
I think you guys are wrong. Even Andrew Ryan is saying it. "A man chooses, a slave obeys". Ryan (a man) chooses to kill himself by his own way. A slave (Jack) obeys his command to kill him.
Jack is Ryan's son. He had already lost Rapture and the fight against Atlas but his son hadn't. He decided to show Jack that he was a slave to Atlas and by doing so reveal the true enemy.
i always thought Andrew Ryan is attempting to help Jack. after revealing to Jack that his choices were not his own he shows hesitation in his order. Instead of simply shooting Ryan he slow beats him to death after being repeatedly order to do so. with Ryans order to kill him he is choosing his own path and opening the door for Jack to choose his own.
I finished this game yesterday and my god, this gave me so many chills... I became a fan of Bioshock after clearing Infinite and started playing this one just to see if it'd be on par and boy, it did not disappoint.
Both Joel and Andrew Ryan were killed by a golf club... But Ryan's death was a moment of glory for him after accepting defeat and proving that he's a man and jack's nothing but a slave... An absolute humiliation for jack. While Joel's death...
Armin Shimerman owned as Ryan just like he did as Quark on DS9, Potter in Atlas Shrugged, Narud and pretty much all roles. Guy is a legend though as Ryan.
The problem with this scene is that Andrew Ryan is immotal, via way of vita chambers, of which only he and Jack can use. This was described earlier in an audio log by Suchong.
@@saekisadako2118 if Ryan was still alive he would have never allowed someone like Sofia Lamb to take over Rapture, especially with the ideals she holds.
He's a bit of trivia for you. Andrew Ryan was voiced by Armin Shimmerman, who played Quark on Deep Space Nine. Mr House was voiced by Rene Auberjonois, who was also in Deep Space Nine, as Odo. In New Vegas, there's an easter egg challenge called "A Slave Obeys" where you kill Mr House with either a 9 iron or Nephi's golf driver.
When Ryan says (line earlier before video) that it was magic that You somehow happened to crash right at rapture, I started to get skeptical. I paused the game, thought about it, and was able to guess what happened.
Tell you what. You build a colossal self-sustaining colony underwater with advancements in science and chemistry far beyond anything they have on the surface, then see how much attention you pay to your collection of golf clubs.
I found it really great storytelling to show that even though ryan had figured out your codeword, he chose to use it as a way to go out on his terms, and proving that your character was no man
It would be easy to gloss over. This isn't a movie were you play through it in one sitting. Someone could spend a week, maybe two weeks, playing this game a few hours every day or every other day.
a man chooses, unlike a slave. Who never strays from the path that his master paves, follows every order and does everything they say. Now would you kindly... OBEY
Andrew Ryan is voiced by none other than Quark from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Sci-fi’s favorite capitalist and Video Game’s favorite capitalist share the same actor.
I don't really understand what Ryan was going for here, he states throughout the whole game that Rapture will be his again, and he doesn't even put up a fight here..
Jamie Cooke healthy geneticly clean man can do nothing versus tonic, plasmid killing machine. Even if he can kill maincharacter there is no forces to backup him... So he decides to final spit in the face of enemy.
Jack is Ryan's son. He had already lost Rapture and the fight against Atlas but his son hadn't. He decided to show Jack that he was a slave to Atlas and by doing so reveal the true enemy.
True, he dies here without fighting, but he dies on his own terms. He orders Jack to kill him. Even when dying, Andrew Ryan wanted to show that he is a man, not a slave.
Jamie Cooke what he did was rather symbolic. He knew that he was going to die and decided to free his son jack, as a final act of defiance, of the chain that made him into a slave to begin with, altruism. The whole message of the game is that you should be a free man in both action and thought, think for yourself and act only in your own interest.
That's not what he says he says "A man chooses, a slave obeys." Those words that you said, correct me if I'm wrong, are lyrics from JT Machinima's Bioshock rap.
Now that I think about it. Is it possible to counter "Would you kindly?" order set by others by saying Would you kindly" to yourself? I'm not sure if it's actually told in the game if that's possible.
I just finished the game on my Switch today, watching this video makes me realize how inferior my graphics are compared to the Xbox/PC 😭. It looks so smooth in this video wtf
Jamie Cooke When Fontaine heard Ryan was planning to kill him, Fontaine received surgery from Dr. Steinman to change his face. Fontaine also changed his name.
@@gordicessempeso4043 Never played Wolfenstein. But I think a villain is better when they are aware that the atrocities they commit are wrong and genuinely enjoy it. I'm not sure what kind of mental gymnastics a person can pull to justify things they'd usually find atrocious.
I wouldn’t say he’s evil. He’s unapologetic for sure, but I’d say he’s a lot more spiteful than he is evil. He never intended for Rapture to become the nightmare it did.
There is a Ryan audio log stating he would postpone the family thing until after the new year thing that ended up starting the Atlas uprising. He did get the hooker Jasmine killed when he found out she sold the embryo of her secret pregnancy to Fontaine. It was not normal birth - Jack the PC was rapidly aged something like 19 years in one year and had Ryan's DNA in him, which means he was a clone and not a child of a normal birth. Bioshock 1 plot has massive plot holes in it (e.g. how the fuck did he build stuff six miles under the Atlantic Ocean in early 19-hundreds with the technology of that era), so try not to think it too much. BS relies on movie logic.
As a huge fan of Deep Space 9 who heard about but never played this game, when I heard the actor of Quark voiced this character I was like "No! Really?" And then I played this scene and listened closely and the similarities struck me like a sack of bricks. The enunciation is a different, probably due to the lack of prosthetic Ferengi teeth, and the energy between Andrew and Quark is totally different. But the cadence has such a unique rhythm to it that if you know what to listen for you know it couldn't be anyone but Armin Shimerman. Blew my mind
I never wanted to kill Andrew Ryan. This annoyed me. I mean, its revolutionary in the world of gamibg. Still... I always thought he was hilarious. That opening sequence.
Am I the only one who thought that Rayan survived? I mean there is log nearby his office that talks about vita chambers. I thought that after this scene Rayan planned to be resurrected by it and is still alive. Shame that never really happen
Mr house: so how’d you die. Andrew Ryan: I got killed by a golf club. Mr house: Same here. Courier 6 with a golf club: who is up next. Jack Ryan: Come at me I have a wrench.
I wonder if he really dies, because you are the son of Andrew Ryan and the Vita Chambers can revive anyone who shares his dna. So could it be possible that he survived in Bioshock?
Vita Chambers are a gameplay mechanic, not an actually existing thing within their world. It’s like in other games, when you die, you’ll take a hit to the wallet, like you slipped the reaper a couple of fives to look the other way
No. If you check the closest Vita-Chamber in his office, it was shut down. The closest one was too far away to read his genetic material. Ryan is dead and he's never coming back.
Is it sad that - after almost a decade - I STILL get chills hearing the phrase "A man chooses, a slave obeys"? lol
im still so sorry for ryan, his dreams destroyed. killed by his son who turned into what he hates.
Thats so true

The last word could have been Russian for kill as Ryan is Russian and probably wanted to make sure his sone broke free
So, my conclusion is as follows: Ryan knew he was done for. He had lost Rapture, and was defenseless. He knew he was going to die, but wanted to do so on his own terms. However, instead of just shooting himself or something similar, he commanded Jack to kill him to show Jack that he was a slave being controlled by Fontaine in a final effort to save his son and defeat Fontaine.

The man was a monster, even had his best friend killed
He was a pitiful hypocrite

"You'll never have my city" guess andrew ryan doesn't think really far enough
When Andrew Ryan said “My child”, he was really talking to his son
Uh yea
I wonder what part in Bioshock 2 you can find about this, never played Bioshock 2
@@franciscoreza8295 Um, this is actually from finding logs around Rapture in Bioshock 1, especially around Suchong’s labs.
@@yohanguy8216 I see, I saw someone mentioned that it was revealed by something in Bioshock 2, maybe I was mistaken
There is a Ryan audio log stating he would postpone the family thing until after the new year thing that ended up starting the Atlas uprising. He did get the hooker Jasmine killed when he found out she sold the embryo of her secret pregnancy to Fontaine. It was not normal birth - Jack the PC was rapidly aged something like 19 years in one year and had Ryan's DNA in him, which means he was a clone and not a child of a normal birth. Bioshock 1 plot has massive plot holes in it (e.g. how the fuck did he build stuff six miles under the Atlantic Ocean in early 19-hundreds with the technology of that era), so try not to think it too much. BS relies on movie logic.
Tlou2 be like:
ryan wasnt killed. he CHOSE death
Abby did nothing wrong

Best plot twist in human history
As a huge fan of Deep Space 9 who heard about but never played this game, when I heard the actor of Quark voiced this character I was like "No! Really?" And then I played this scene and listened closely and the similarities struck me like a sack of bricks. The enunciation is a different, probably due to the lack of prosthetic Ferengi teeth, and the energy between Andrew and Quark is totally different. But the cadence has such a unique rhythm to it that if you know what to listen for you know it couldn't be anyone but Armin Shimerman. Blew my mind
Who wore it better Joel or Andrew Ryan
Trivia fact - Armin Shimerman who played the Ferengi bartender 'Quark' on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, voiced Andrew Ryan, there you go!!!
One of the greatest twists in videogame history, next to the Revan twist in KOTOR.
'Andrew Ryan choose to die by the hands of a slave's. A drunk man's summary.
That “come in” was so softly and eloquently said
I never wanted to kill Andrew Ryan. This annoyed me. I mean, its revolutionary in the world of gamibg. Still...
I always thought he was hilarious. That opening sequence.
I never played bioshock
But this phrase really gaved me goosebumps
Seeing that scene as the only scene from Bioshock is like watching only the finale of Fight Club
*W O U L D Y O U K I N D L Y ?*
- Andrew Ryan
Wow, Armin Shimerman did a great job! It really is hard to believe that this is the same actor who played Quark because of how different they sound.
Am I the only one who thought that Rayan survived? I mean there is log nearby his office that talks about vita chambers. I thought that after this scene Rayan planned to be resurrected by it and is still alive. Shame that never really happen
his vita chamber was deactivated
Legendary line ,,Would you Kindly"
played by the same actor as Quark from DS9
Sam Halford And Dr Nefarious from Ratchet & Clank
liamdude5 And Scarr from Evil Con Carne.
And Principal Snyder in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Craziest part was he didn't even say Would You Kindly when he told you kill
Mr house: so how’d you die.
Andrew Ryan: I got killed by a golf club.
Mr house: Same here.
Courier 6 with a golf club: who is up next.
Jack Ryan: Come at me I have a wrench.
yeah but what if that mailman sided with house not that would be epic plot twist
WARNING SPOILERS IN COMMENTS!!!
One of the best scenes in video games history
Almost hard to believe this is Quark
I wonder if he really dies, because you are the son of Andrew Ryan and the Vita Chambers can revive anyone who shares his dna. So could it be possible that he survived in Bioshock?
Vita Chambers are a gameplay mechanic, not an actually existing thing within their world. It’s like in other games, when you die, you’ll take a hit to the wallet, like you slipped the reaper a couple of fives to look the other way
No. If you check the closest Vita-Chamber in his office, it was shut down. The closest one was too far away to read his genetic material. Ryan is dead and he's never coming back.
When does he reveal hes his son?
It is hinted at in the audio logs and showed on the board at 2:11
Atlas, you can kill me, but you'll never take OUR FREEDOM!!!
Odo leaves the station for one fucking day...
this with the beatdrop of the flashback song goddamn
Armin Shimerman is a god. What an incredible actor.
