@@Cynthetic Came from your Mass Effect playthrough. A series that really holds close to my heart, and you played it beautifully. Sticking around for more, especially since I also love Bioshock. :)
Ikr? Almost all the people I've watched play this were 'point A to point B' types with a passive interest in the story. She pieced together the plot a lot faster than anyone I've seen play.
@@tenshi890 she noticed several things in the beginning that I didn’t until the end. Of course I played this when I was barely a teenager and I only had it for a couple days because blockbuster was still a thing 😂
hi hun!;) saw you play!;) love it!;) my favorite game!;) i wanted to tell you something... ;) you catch on quickwith the story of bioshock. im impresss by you almost figuring out things... very good!;) thums up for you!;)
A streamer playing Bioshock for the first time and they're paying attention to the dialogue, listening to the audio diaries AND theorising?? OMG... THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD! You're clearly smart & intuitive, so you're going to get SO MUCH out of this game and I can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of Rapture! ♥️🐠💉
Inserts clip- "You're asking about my theories? I've waited years for someone to ask about my theories. Hold on, I made a model." Really happy you're enjoying the videos! I actually steam-rolled through the game the next recording session and it was amazing. My theories were a little off, but I had spirit😂
13:00 originally Atlas was supposed to say "It's alright, would you kindly inject yourself?" but the devs thought it would give away the twist too early for smart players, so now Jack just injects himself without being told to. I guess the devs asked US "would you kindly inject yourself to progress in the game?" so Jack did it.
I feel like they could've removed another "would you kindly" during the tutorial section and it would've been fine. Like maybe the crowbar line. Also probably have atlas explain what it would do to you before
Spoiler-free tips: a LOT of the story is told through those audio recordings, so finding them is important. Also, I found bullets to be in pretty short supply and hacking was important. First Mass Effect, now this game... fabulous, so lucky! (Ps. Kevin, lol)
Pro tip: If it's a Leadhead Splicer (lead as in lead bullets), ALWAYS look for a pistol to get free bullets! LOOK UP as well as around! There are supplies tucked in upper areas too! SLOW DOWN! There are a lot of crates and other supplies around that you are missing because you're moving so fast. Listen to the tapes! You will get a better understanding of Rapture through the stories told by it's people. For instance, Diane McClintock's story can be found all over Rapture. Some of the stories are heartbreaking, like the story of the little girl Masha and her parents. Have fun! Bioshock is a fantastic, plot-driven game where everything meshes together to make it one of the best games ever.
You picked up on more than any gamer I've ever seen play this. The chain on the wrists, the audiofiles references Atlas as a rebel leader, the fact that consumables are only good for certain things, and the fastest “would you kindly” pick up I’ve ever seen. Most people miss that. And you did it all with such ease, most gamers can't sit still and keep looking passed everything. You also make really good inferences based on the current information.
You’re the one letsplayer/streamer I’ve watched out of the dozen or so I’ve watched play Bioshock, who’s not had me ripping my hair out lmao. I love how easily you understand everything the games trying to do, it’s really fun. I like that you don’t botch the jump scares too ;p Definitely keeping an eye out for what you play in the future
The atmospheres in this trilogy really are amazing - the music, audio and visuals go hand in hand for that perfect level of creepiness. Really happy to see you playing this!
Bioshock! One of my favorite game series to play back in the day and now I get to watch it. Love the Art Deco style and you are so right it is a trippy game! Thanks Cynthetic!
I have two useful tips that I only bring up because they were immensely helpful when I learned them myself: The machine gun give *no* bonus damage for headshots, so there's no need to go for them. On the other hand, the pistol has a 4x headshot modifier, and the shotgun has 2x. Also, the shotgun has deceptively high spread so you have to be closer than you think to get good damage.
Holy shit, you are one of the smartest let's players I've seen on here. You're noticing stuff that even veteran players miss--on your first playthrough!! This is going to be such a good series!
I’m watching this in awe on how you were already piecing information together this early in the game. I’m currently on my very first run of this game and a little half way. Have to go back and watch old clipping to catch up on all the plot points I missed/ didn’t pay attention to
NO SPOILERS people!!! and don't spoil yourself cyn, not even with your close sources. The game is more linear than the Mass Effect, so enjoy it like a book and try your best to get all the information scattered in the game.
Agreed! Unlike Mass Effect, you don’t need anyone telling you to make certain choices or to do things in a certain order to get the most out of this game. Just play it through and enjoy :)
Something useful to know, telekinesis only uses EVE when you throw the grabbed item. If you continue holding L2 then hit square you'll drop the item without throwing it which is a useful way to avoid wasting EVE and grab out of reach items.
I rly like that you play the game slowly, paying attention to every single thing. I have 100% the game but I never noticed all these details, very nice walkthrough.
😂Poor Liara. After watching the New ME trailer, I want to say that Liara and Shep possibly had a kid- so she has something to remember me by. VR Slicer jump scares? My heart couldn't take it. Those splicers really do just be coming out of no where.
I love how the gatherer's garden kids voice gave you a spook lmao. Bioshock is such an amazing game if you get fully immersed in it! I'm so happy you are playing this!
It's nice that as a small youtuber, you're playing these games. This is what I've thought of doing for a really long time, as I am a very theatrical person and I went 110% invested into Bioshock. I am fully confident I found every single code, power to the people, looted nearly every single space in Rapture, studied every single enemy weaknesses, found every single tonic, Easter egg and hacked every single circus of values and bandito. I have explored every corner of all the levels through BioShock 1 and BioShock 2. I've gotten to a nerd level where it's just I believe there's nothing else more for me to learn, but I do. I really love this game, I really appreciated the amount of imagination and investment that was put into it. While I don't consider myself to be a story gamer or 100% completer because of it being tedious, I really fucking did everything. I hope you keep sharing things like this, while I might not really watch you at all, - I really don't watch anyone I hope more players enjoy this game the way I did, it's really a great experience. I want to start creating content like you! I want to nerd the fuck out of everything and improve this great industry of videogames and push it to the pinnacle of art, entertainment and fun. God if only rockstar worked with Bioshock devs to create it.
This is fun to watch! Someone who actually pays attention on their first playthrough and gets what's going on, not often do you see that with people playing the game. Also, how you realised they were shouting "long live atlas" in the first diary, I have literally never realised this in my probably 15 playthroughs :D
The initial scene is legendary. Me and all my friends didn't realize we had control of the camera in the water. True OMG moment. Looks so dated now, it's hard to believe.
I need to play this trilogy again. The Ayn Rand overtones, epic soundtrack and just enough crazy sci-fi, all blend perfectly into a truly excellent experience.
I think you would enjoy the Dead Space series. The first game was the only game to date that I had to turn off for a bit because of how scary it was to me.
Dang, I am impressed! You are putting the pieces together so well. It took me a couple of playthroughs to figure out as much as you have figured out so far! I'm looking forward to the rest of your playthrough!
Great start to the game. The first hour or so can be very confusing but you've coped really well. (Much better than I managed on my first playthrough!).
Honestly, once you survive a plane crash, arrive in an underwater city, and get attacked by genetically spliced manics, you kinda just gotta accept fate and roll with the punches😂
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your first playthrough of Bioshock. My boyfriend introduced me to this game at the beginning of this year and it's such an amazing game. It was my first ever FPS game and my first horror game. Up until then I'd just played Rayman, Rollercoaster Tycoon as a kid so I was genuinely terrified in the Medical Pavilion and did not pick up on ANY of the things you did. I was just shooting badly and freaking out haha. The creepy shadow cutting someone and breathing heavily at 1:03:40, all of the jump scares, Steinman slicing and dicing a splicer who is still alive, the shotgun sequence... Faaaaark. As others have said, you're so perceptive! It's been so fun watching someone new to the game play it and to I've really loved hearing your thoughts on Rapture. After finishing each level I ended up watching patologTV's cinematic no commentary (and no damage) walkthrough - I highly recommend you check out. There was so much that I picked up from their playthroughs that I probably would have missed. Every time I play this game or watch someone else play it, I uncover something new - for example at 50:57 did that splicer self heal itself? And if so... HOW! Is that a bug or a genuine thing some splicers can do without healing stations? OMFGGG. Going to watch your next video now. Looking forward to seeing your perspective on this game. You're awesome!
Okay, but Rollercoaster Tycoon was elite! Even if I could never make a safe coaster😅 Thank you so much for the comment and I will check out those no damage playthroughs sometime. I would love to know how someone pulled that off.
@@Cynthetic Haha I had a genuine fear of rollercoasters for a while because of that game, "32 people have died on your rollercoaster".. Patolog makes use of the Target Dummy but they clearly put in a lot of time to make these playthroughs so cinematic and seamless. There's a few close calls. Also I think I saw on another comment of yours that you've finished the game now - but I recall you asking what one of the tiles was in the hacking game (it's the alarm tile) which sends a Security Bot or two to attack you, which you can then attack and hack if you want another Kevin.
Welcome to Rapture Cyn. Great start to a great game/series. This game is right up your alley with looking all over for hidden clues. The hacking will get more difficult as you progress. Haven't played this since it came out PC years ago and played Part 2 , but not Infinity. Can't wait until the next video. P.s. Would you kindly give us an update on your ME extras and livestream on your community tab. 😉
Now that I've breezed through BioShock, I see what you did there😅 I will be sitting down to record more ME reactions in the upcoming week. There is so much extra content to watch.
It might seem quaint now, but I remember when they were just showing tech presentations and everyone was going absolutely nuts over the water. We never had water like this in a game before Bioshock.
Freezing turrets/cameras/bots works even better than zapping them. Not only does it disable them for a time while you hack them, freezing them also slows the ooze, giving you more time to hack. Tried Enrage once, never used it again. It just makes them more violent, and takes up a slot that can hold a more useful plasmid.
@@robertmurdock1848 Actually enrage is by far one of the most powerful plasmids but people don't understand it. In group situations you throw it around a few times and they all start killing each other, saving you ammo and effort. If anyone still attacks you when enraged, just move around a bit until they can see each other, and they'll leave run off you alone. Then you just have to kill the remaining splicer, who is usually badly wounded.
@@BooBaddyBig Sorry , in a normal game where I'm using every weapon at my disposal, I get more usefulness from other plasmids. Now, when I limit myself to the number of weapons I pick up and use , and use others to do the heavy lifting, then it moves into the rotation of available plasmids.
Found this video as I’m playing it for the first time round, I’m 31 and wasn’t a big gamer during the ps3/3box 360 era. This game freaks me out massively, just a bit further than this video. You’re a great streamer! Perfect blend of chilled out, but necessary comments and narration. Keep it up!
Man, this is a classic! And looks surprisingly good for it's age, even taking into account the remaster, which I think you're playing. I shall look forward to your impressions. This one gets...twisted.
Its SO refreshing to reexperiencing these stories through others first time play throughs. I remember my actual measure of fear when the light house doors first closed behind me.
Always fun to see someone do a first playthrough of one of the best games ever made. Your very perceptive and figured things out a LOT faster then I did when I was playing this. :)
Hello there! A while back, I saw the cover art for bioshock infinite, it interested me in the game and I started looking for a playthrough to watch, as I own a mac and didn't think I would be able to play the game, since most only play on windows. I went through a few people's partially, but all of them were either far too slow paced, or way too fast paced for me. Then I found you by a whirlwind on my home page, so I gave it a chance! You got me into bioshock by your infinite playthrough, and I was there waiting for you to play burial at sea! I love how you play the game, actually noticing things that so many people ignore, even figuring out the twist of infinite was awesome to see. Then I found out bioshock could be played on mac, so after my playthrough I'm here to watch you do much better than me with my first pc shooter. So glad to have found you, you're an amazing creator and I hope you grow exponentially!
Damn, I'm glad I found this LP so late, because I can comment on how insanely perceptive you are without worrying about spoiling. Catching on to "long live Atlas" and "would you kindly" before even getting out of the intro? You're damn perceptive
She's honestly the only person I've seen be able to start putting that together before the reveal. Even I didn't. What's great is that big twist doesn't come out of nowhere at all. It's right in front of you if you know what you're looking for. The room you go into just before confronting Andrew Ryan basically spells out for you that Atlas is Fontaine or at the very least the two are very closely connected.
It's always great to see a newcomer to the Bioshock world on their first playthrough. Especially when, like you, they actually pay attention and pick up on things quickly! Too many rush through or talk over the action and miss major hints and storyline points, which gets frustrating for those of us watching who know where you're supposed to be headed. Can't wait to watch more!
@@Cynthetic You are a Badass Brave Warrior. It's the Holidays, so I Thank You for your work. I hope you achieve, your goals and put down, the Sword once in a while, and have some FUN!! Go Surf those Cali waves, darn it!
When this game came out I was 9 and played it. I couldn't sleep for like 3 days. I haven't played the game since I was 10 and it's really interesting to see that the horror still delivers some 12 or 13 years later. You're a great TH-camr, hope to see your channel blow up in the near future.
I remember when I first played this game in 2013, which was already many years after it first released, and it was my favorite game I played that year (considering it was a strong year for gaming with GTA V, Bioshock Infinite, and The Last of Us). EDIT: also so jealous seeing someone play the game blind. To experience that again.
I can honestly see why people love it so much. The world is amazing and there's just enough mystery surrounding the MC and other characters to keep you guessing.
You are so observant that I already knew this is the type of game for you. I actually played BS2 and BS3 first then after the BS3 DLC, It made me want to play BS1.
so a little background on Steinman seeing as you got to him. prior to coming to Rapture he was a highly notable surgeon in New York i think, like most people who came to Rapture he was promising in a certain field. He always showed himself as loyal to Andrew Ryan so he went fairly high in the Medical Pavilion (and eventually was placed in charge of it). However the introduction of Adam into Rapture presented new problems for his profession...he began to question if his talents really had nay merit when Adam could do so much more. He began to over indulge in Plasmids and test them to try and understand and appreciate them and he began to hallucinate and he started seeing this so called Goddess called Aphrodite. After that he began to do awful things to patients.
Randomly your channel was recommended to me, don't regret it. You haven't even started the game yet but I can already tell its gonna be a treat listening to you. I subbed, first time watching someone playing my favourite game of all time. This is gonna be good 😊.
S tier gameplay, love your reactions and I am happy to find someone that cares about every detail of the game, the scary parts of the game make it so much fun, not just a regular shooter
It's funny. Watching you for the first time here, i was like, "she is really intelligent" but also experienced, and both show. Then you were all like "i'm not smart" which made me chuckle. Though when you were figuring out the dental key, i was yelling at the screen to use telekinesis heh. I rarely get that engaged or feel motivated to watch something all the way through these days, so yay for your Let's Play. I also really enjoy how you check out everything. Nothing in LP's irks me more than when people just run past something to get and don't even care.
I generally hate first person shooters but I love this game. The setting and atmosphere are everything and it's good to see that first view of the city is just as jaw dropping as I remember it
Not a fan of FPS either , but enjoyed this when I played this for the 1st time last year. Also enjoyed BioShock 2 and its DLC Minerva's Den , but didn't care for Infinite.
"Why would your first instinct be to stab yourself in the wrist??" It's suggested that there was cut dialog of Atlas telling Jack to do it, as seen much later in the game during the Big Reveal montage.
First video of yours I've seen, love finding people who take the time to explore the world and pay attention to everything going on ! | : D You were really quick to pick up on the subtle stuff in here. Looking forward to seeing the rest ! [ subscribes ]
The diver is a big daddy. More speciffically subject delta (which is Jhonny, the guy that gets attacked by the female splicer that attacks the bathysphere Jack is in at the beggining of Bioshock 1). And is the main character in Bioshock 2. The main character in Bioshock 1 is a brainwashed dude called Jack.
Love this! Also if you like Bioshock, I think you'd really like Prey. It's up there as one of my favourite video games of all time. It's similar to Bioshock and I'd love to see you play it
I play on Easy :) I’m 73 and did not grow up playing video games so all the controls are not second nature to me. I start to panic easily and then I can’t remember which keys to press 😂 I’m happy to have found your channel. Have you played the Fallout games?
when Cyn said "No one told me this was a horror game" I just though "oh wow, you really are going in blind, this is going to be a Great play-through series" And I have played this game many times and she picked up on stuff I never did even in the first 20 minutes that I never had. (Long live Atlas, Death to Ryan... i Never heard that before, and probably pplayed the game half a dozen times) Cyn is Scary good at observation and deducing
Love your content!! I'm so happy that you love such story driven games like me. Our play style is very similar in constantly looking at the small details in everything. If you haven't already, I would HIGHLY recommend playing The Last of Us. Beautifully written story and incredible game. Keep it up!!
Aww thank you! I'm happy you enjoy the content! Also, I do have playthroughs of TLOU Pt. 1 and Pt. 2. My recent Pt.1 playthrough is a replay for the remaster, but my Pt. 2 playthrough is a first-time reaction.
Another thing. The green thing isn´t blood. Splicers are normal humans that became psycophatic due to their addiction to Adam (hence why they are called splicers, from all the genetic splicing/manipulation they did to themselves). And the crowbar that Frank Fontaine mentions is a reference to the starter weapon in Half Life).
that screaming at 3:50 is very weird, never heard it before, even after watching tons of lets plays! sounds like 100th of splicers yelling around 😵 i definitly hear one of the female splicer voices in it! maybe its bcs of the remaster audio bug that places enemy voices at wrong places and volume, still strange bcs there are no splicers in that area. and i never ever noticed that u can hear that "long live atlas" phrase in the mcclintock tape!!! im also impressed that you associated jack's tattoo with the great chain so quickly👍
One of the greatest games, And with how you played Mass effect then you're gonna play this how i like as well, EXPLORE !!!! :P #1 Best Story #2 Better Gameplay (I personally love the story of #2 as well) and then Infinite, amazing gameplay and i also loved the story there too.
It's right in front of you if you know what to look for. Some details can be easy to miss but they're definitely there. I'm impressed though because I've never seen anyone figure anything out first time through before the actual reveal, not even I did and I always pay attention.
Cyn: 'Atlas buddy, we need to talk.'
Atlas: *Shrugs*
Who is John Galt?
great reference
Come on
I think you really shine in plot driven games, you actually remember smaller details despite providing commentary
Ahh thank you! I love stories were the little details are pivotal to understanding the plot. Makes me feel like I'm solving a mystery.

I refuse to believe she heard the splicers shouting "long live Atlas"
You're amazing

It’s a Cynthetic dream come true.
She should play SOMA at some point then.
And Subnautica!
A dream granted by a Mean Genie
@@slameba SOMA is a perfect game for her!
Your perception level is amazing.
Mass Effect, GoT, GoW, and now Bioshock!?!? This lady dropping masterpieces after masterpieces! Let's go!
Ghost of Tsushima is not a masterpiece, but it is fun.
Agreed. True masterpieces.
Bioshock is unforgettable.

Great start to the game. The first hour or so can be very confusing but you've coped really well. (Much better than I managed on my first playthrough!).
Honestly, once you survive a plane crash, arrive in an underwater city, and get attacked by genetically spliced manics, you kinda just gotta accept fate and roll with the punches😂
excellent choice for new adventure! I like your channel, I enjoy it and it helps me practice my English. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your first playthrough of Bioshock. My boyfriend introduced me to this game at the beginning of this year and it's such an amazing game. It was my first ever FPS game and my first horror game. Up until then I'd just played Rayman, Rollercoaster Tycoon as a kid so I was genuinely terrified in the Medical Pavilion and did not pick up on ANY of the things you did. I was just shooting badly and freaking out haha. The creepy shadow cutting someone and breathing heavily at 1:03:40, all of the jump scares, Steinman slicing and dicing a splicer who is still alive, the shotgun sequence... Faaaaark.
As others have said, you're so perceptive! It's been so fun watching someone new to the game play it and to I've really loved hearing your thoughts on Rapture. After finishing each level I ended up watching patologTV's cinematic no commentary (and no damage) walkthrough - I highly recommend you check out. There was so much that I picked up from their playthroughs that I probably would have missed. Every time I play this game or watch someone else play it, I uncover something new - for example at 50:57 did that splicer self heal itself? And if so... HOW! Is that a bug or a genuine thing some splicers can do without healing stations? OMFGGG.
Going to watch your next video now. Looking forward to seeing your perspective on this game. You're awesome!
Okay, but Rollercoaster Tycoon was elite! Even if I could never make a safe coaster😅
Thank you so much for the comment and I will check out those no damage playthroughs sometime. I would love to know how someone pulled that off.
@@Cynthetic Haha I had a genuine fear of rollercoasters for a while because of that game, "32 people have died on your rollercoaster"..
Patolog makes use of the Target Dummy but they clearly put in a lot of time to make these playthroughs so cinematic and seamless. There's a few close calls.
Also I think I saw on another comment of yours that you've finished the game now - but I recall you asking what one of the tiles was in the hacking game (it's the alarm tile) which sends a Security Bot or two to attack you, which you can then attack and hack if you want another Kevin.

"It was not impossible to build Rapture at the bottom of the sea. It was impossible to build it anywhere else."
Welcome to Rapture Cyn. Great start to a great game/series. This game is right up your alley with looking all over for hidden clues. The hacking will get more difficult as you progress. Haven't played this since it came out PC years ago and played Part 2 , but not Infinity. Can't wait until the next video.
P.s. Would you kindly give us an update on your ME extras and livestream on your community tab. 😉
Now that I've breezed through BioShock, I see what you did there😅 I will be sitting down to record more ME reactions in the upcoming week. There is so much extra content to watch.
It might seem quaint now, but I remember when they were just showing tech presentations and everyone was going absolutely nuts over the water. We never had water like this in a game before Bioshock.
Freezing turrets/cameras/bots works even better than zapping them. Not only does it disable them for a time while you hack them, freezing them also slows the ooze, giving you more time to hack.
Tried Enrage once, never used it again. It just makes them more violent, and takes up a slot that can hold a more useful plasmid.
Yeah , there are only a few instances in the game where Enrage is really useful , too many other plasmids are far more useful.
@@robertmurdock1848 Actually enrage is by far one of the most powerful plasmids but people don't understand it. In group situations you throw it around a few times and they all start killing each other, saving you ammo and effort. If anyone still attacks you when enraged, just move around a bit until they can see each other, and they'll leave run off you alone. Then you just have to kill the remaining splicer, who is usually badly wounded.
@@BooBaddyBig
Sorry , in a normal game where I'm using every weapon at my disposal, I get more usefulness from other plasmids.
Now, when I limit myself to the number of weapons I pick up and use , and use others to do the heavy lifting, then it moves into the rotation of available plasmids.
Found this video as I’m playing it for the first time round, I’m 31 and wasn’t a big gamer during the ps3/3box 360 era. This game freaks me out massively, just a bit further than this video.
You’re a great streamer! Perfect blend of chilled out, but necessary comments and narration. Keep it up!
Man, this is a classic! And looks surprisingly good for it's age, even taking into account the remaster, which I think you're playing.
I shall look forward to your impressions. This one gets...twisted.
Its SO refreshing to reexperiencing these stories through others first time play throughs. I remember my actual measure of fear when the light house doors first closed behind me.
You're quick witted.
I'm sure people have told you this a lot but you have an amazing voice. Great for voice acting
Always fun to see someone do a first playthrough of one of the best games ever made. Your very perceptive and figured things out a LOT faster then I did when I was playing this. :)
Hello there! A while back, I saw the cover art for bioshock infinite, it interested me in the game and I started looking for a playthrough to watch, as I own a mac and didn't think I would be able to play the game, since most only play on windows. I went through a few people's partially, but all of them were either far too slow paced, or way too fast paced for me. Then I found you by a whirlwind on my home page, so I gave it a chance! You got me into bioshock by your infinite playthrough, and I was there waiting for you to play burial at sea! I love how you play the game, actually noticing things that so many people ignore, even figuring out the twist of infinite was awesome to see. Then I found out bioshock could be played on mac, so after my playthrough I'm here to watch you do much better than me with my first pc shooter. So glad to have found you, you're an amazing creator and I hope you grow exponentially!
So fun watching new people discover this beautiful game. And you seem really cool how you take it all in. Thanks for this!
Damn, I'm glad I found this LP so late, because I can comment on how insanely perceptive you are without worrying about spoiling. Catching on to "long live Atlas" and "would you kindly" before even getting out of the intro? You're damn perceptive
She's honestly the only person I've seen be able to start putting that together before the reveal. Even I didn't. What's great is that big twist doesn't come out of nowhere at all. It's right in front of you if you know what you're looking for. The room you go into just before confronting Andrew Ryan basically spells out for you that Atlas is Fontaine or at the very least the two are very closely connected.
It's always great to see a newcomer to the Bioshock world on their first playthrough. Especially when, like you, they actually pay attention and pick up on things quickly! Too many rush through or talk over the action and miss major hints and storyline points, which gets frustrating for those of us watching who know where you're supposed to be headed. Can't wait to watch more!
You're good at Horror games, too. Have Fun!! This is creepy, I have never played this spooky dystopia!
Horror is honestly so fun. I like being scared (within reason), so BioShock has been really fun.
@@Cynthetic You are a Badass Brave Warrior. It's the Holidays, so I Thank You for your work. I hope you achieve, your goals and put down, the Sword once in a while, and have some FUN!! Go Surf those Cali waves, darn it!
i'm so glad you're playing Bioshock. I love this game.
When this game came out I was 9 and played it. I couldn't sleep for like 3 days. I haven't played the game since I was 10 and it's really interesting to see that the horror still delivers some 12 or 13 years later. You're a great TH-camr, hope to see your channel blow up in the near future.
I love it, unlike many players who rush into it, you take your time and use your head !
Oh my god, you're so good with the controller!
Even Dr. Steinman would be like 😷 with a controller.
I remember when I first played this game in 2013, which was already many years after it first released, and it was my favorite game I played that year (considering it was a strong year for gaming with GTA V, Bioshock Infinite, and The Last of Us).
EDIT: also so jealous seeing someone play the game blind. To experience that again.
I can honestly see why people love it so much. The world is amazing and there's just enough mystery surrounding the MC and other characters to keep you guessing.
This is one of my favourite game series ever. The storyline is amazing and the atmosphere of this game is just thick.
You are so observant that I already knew this is the type of game for you. I actually played BS2 and BS3 first then after the BS3 DLC, It made me want to play BS1.
so a little background on Steinman seeing as you got to him. prior to coming to Rapture he was a highly notable surgeon in New York i think, like most people who came to Rapture he was promising in a certain field. He always showed himself as loyal to Andrew Ryan so he went fairly high in the Medical Pavilion (and eventually was placed in charge of it). However the introduction of Adam into Rapture presented new problems for his profession...he began to question if his talents really had nay merit when Adam could do so much more. He began to over indulge in Plasmids and test them to try and understand and appreciate them and he began to hallucinate and he started seeing this so called Goddess called Aphrodite. After that he began to do awful things to patients.
Randomly your channel was recommended to me, don't regret it. You haven't even started the game yet but I can already tell its gonna be a treat listening to you. I subbed, first time watching someone playing my favourite game of all time. This is gonna be good 😊.
S tier gameplay, love your reactions and I am happy to find someone that cares about every detail of the game, the scary parts of the game make it so much fun, not just a regular shooter
It's funny. Watching you for the first time here, i was like, "she is really intelligent" but also experienced, and both show. Then you were all like "i'm not smart" which made me chuckle. Though when you were figuring out the dental key, i was yelling at the screen to use telekinesis heh. I rarely get that engaged or feel motivated to watch something all the way through these days, so yay for your Let's Play.
I also really enjoy how you check out everything. Nothing in LP's irks me more than when people just run past something to get and don't even care.
I generally hate first person shooters but I love this game. The setting and atmosphere are everything and it's good to see that first view of the city is just as jaw dropping as I remember it
Not a fan of FPS either , but enjoyed this when I played this for the 1st time last year.
Also enjoyed BioShock 2 and its DLC Minerva's Den , but didn't care for Infinite.
No, no, you 100% should have chased him. You made the right call. 😭
This is great. I hope you enjoy your first playthrough. If you do I hope you play thru the entire series. BioShock 2 is my personal favorite… ❤️👌
I like 2 just a little bit more than this one , also.
So excited for this!!! Would you kindly keep up the great work!!
Super fun playthrough of an old favorite. In the same 2k goty release with this and Bordrlands is XCom EW, another fabulous classic you might enjoy
Kevin after you killed him: 🫵🔥
This first bioshock was so amazing. Incredible gameplay and story!
Bioshock is not a horror game, but it uses horror perfectly at times.
Well, having the name Kevin certainly makes this an interesting viewing experience haha
First time ey? Hope you enjoyed it, it's one of my favorites of all time.
Ooh! Bioshock!
I've never watched a LP of this one before, but I've been curious about the series.
This should be fun!
Yay! Glad you will be joining me on this ride! It's definitely different then any fps I've ever played and I love it.
Ok it’s really making me laugh that you keep calling your security bots Kevin 🤣 So cute.
"Why would your first instinct be to stab yourself in the wrist??"
It's suggested that there was cut dialog of Atlas telling Jack to do it, as seen much later in the game during the Big Reveal montage.
Why even slightly spoil?
@@spaceboye9343 She finished the game a month ago.
@@HuragokSlayer ah you right my bad
I'm so excited yes! I'm currently watching, yelling at you to use telekinesis on the key and beat the health machines for extra first aids lol.
I prefer hacking the health stations , so they're traps.
Once you get the hang of the game , you should have plenty of first aid kits and money.
First video of yours I've seen, love finding people who take the time to explore the world and pay attention to everything going on !
| : D
You were really quick to pick up on the subtle stuff in here. Looking forward to seeing the rest !

The diver is a big daddy. More speciffically subject delta (which is Jhonny, the guy that gets attacked by the female splicer that attacks the bathysphere Jack is in at the beggining of Bioshock 1). And is the main character in Bioshock 2. The main character in Bioshock 1 is a brainwashed dude called Jack.
This video pop up in my recommended, I enjoy Bioshock and this video will definitely be subscribing can't wait till the next video
Glad to have you with us! This game is honestly amazing.
I'm so excited for this! Another great series
bioshock is my favorite series bar none. so here for this.
Andrew Ryen`s introductory speech is simply iconic.
Love this! Also if you like Bioshock, I think you'd really like Prey. It's up there as one of my favourite video games of all time. It's similar to Bioshock and I'd love to see you play it
I play on Easy :) I’m 73 and did not grow up playing video games so all the controls are not second nature to me. I start to panic easily and then I can’t remember which keys to press 😂
I’m happy to have found your channel. Have you played the Fallout games?
when Cyn said "No one told me this was a horror game" I just though "oh wow, you really are going in blind, this is going to be a Great play-through series"
And I have played this game many times and she picked up on stuff I never did even in the first 20 minutes that I never had. (Long live Atlas, Death to Ryan... i Never heard that before, and probably pplayed the game half a dozen times) Cyn is Scary good at observation and deducing
Me watching a person giving names to the robots before Bioshock 2: Wait, that's illegal.
YOU ARE ABOUT TO PLAY THE BEST GAME SERIES IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.
I bought this when it first came out in 2007. It was absolutely groundbreaking.
Love your content!! I'm so happy that you love such story driven games like me. Our play style is very similar in constantly looking at the small details in everything. If you haven't already, I would HIGHLY recommend playing The Last of Us. Beautifully written story and incredible game. Keep it up!!
Also, the character of Booker Dewitt in Bioshock Infinite is the same voice actor that plays the main character in The Last of Us...tiny fact.
Aww thank you! I'm happy you enjoy the content! Also, I do have playthroughs of TLOU Pt. 1 and Pt. 2. My recent Pt.1 playthrough is a replay for the remaster, but my Pt. 2 playthrough is a first-time reaction.
@@Cynthetic of course! I really enjoy it. And okay sweet, I will definitely check those out!!
One of my favorite games ever. 🥰
Mad respect for playing on hard. I'm exactly the same.
Another thing. The green thing isn´t blood. Splicers are normal humans that became psycophatic due to their addiction to Adam (hence why they are called splicers, from all the genetic splicing/manipulation they did to themselves). And the crowbar that Frank Fontaine mentions is a reference to the starter weapon in Half Life).
So cool to see your reaction and enjoyment of this game!
I've never screamed as loud during a game as I have when that fucking dentist showed up out of nowhere.
That was honestly terrifying😅
that screaming at 3:50 is very weird, never heard it before, even after watching tons of lets plays! sounds like 100th of splicers yelling around 😵 i definitly hear one of the female splicer voices in it! maybe its bcs of the remaster audio bug that places enemy voices at wrong places and volume, still strange bcs there are no splicers in that area. and i never ever noticed that u can hear that "long live atlas" phrase in the mcclintock tape!!! im also impressed that you associated jack's tattoo with the great chain so quickly👍
YES! Bioshock, hopefully you get to the third in the future! My favorite :3 Love all three though!
oh this is going to be a good playthrough to watch
Nice I just started replaying this game after almost a decade
Bioshock 1 hacking is already such a horrible awful system; I couldn't imagine having to do it on controller on top of all that.
One of the greatest games, And with how you played Mass effect then you're gonna play this how i like as well, EXPLORE !!!! :P
#1 Best Story
#2 Better Gameplay (I personally love the story of #2 as well)
and then Infinite, amazing gameplay and i also loved the story there too.
I feel like the Bioshock trilogy should be a required right of passage for all gamers. The gameplay and story were just so phenomenal.
I can tell she's gonna figure out the twist before she gets to it just like she did for Infinite
It's right in front of you if you know what to look for. Some details can be easy to miss but they're definitely there. I'm impressed though because I've never seen anyone figure anything out first time through before the actual reveal, not even I did and I always pay attention.
