Captain Dreadnought Because Delta is an amazing father who gave his life to see his daughter one last time. You're not the only one😭 *starts tearing up*
Captain Dreadnought Because if you get this ending, you proved he was more than that. Sophia saw him as a monster, a relic of the Ryan regime who took her life's work away from her. But Grace called him right: "No monster ever turned the other cheek. A thinking man does that."
how to be a good dad: step 1: meet daughter step 2: die step 3: live step 4: find your daughter while killing everything in your path except for the little girls and 3 specific sane people step 5: die again step 6: become your daughter
Also other NPCs (if spared) should be there: - Grace should be next to the girls, relieved and again full of hope, happy much like them & Eleanor - Gilbert should jump like a dolphin from distance, still crazy, but at least also happy - Stanley & Sofia should be tied up tightly together (but still spared) by righteously angry sisters.
"And then Father, the rapture dream was over. You taught me that evil is just a word; under the skin, it's simple pain. But for you, mercy was victory... You sacrificed, you endured and when given the chance. .. You forgave... Always... Mother believed this world was irredeemable... But she was wrong Father, we're Utopia... You and I... And in forgiving, we left the door open for her." - Eleanor *Delta* Such a powerful and good monologue, Eleanor's voice actress did such a phenomenal job.
I am always proud when I see Eleanor like this all grown up with a loving caring spirit no matter what even if she's not my daughter I will always be proud of the women she has become
@@TheCorrodedMan Technically, Delta is her biological father. I've read somewhere that Lamb used his genetic material, so he is her parent in every possible sense.
Алена Шарахматова I had that same idea. She never talks about Eleanors father and refuses to say his name when forced to, I would assume it was Delta before he was put into the suit.
It's nice and heartwarming Delta lived on in his daughter, but I still wish he was capable of living a seperate life on the surface. Seriously, he deserved a life that didn't involve seeing the world behind another lens; even if he was given control sometimes, it's still not his own body - he's still more of a floating consciousness.
@@legion999 Yeah, that'd just be wrong. Especially since what he wants is to protect his daughter even more than to live. Now he can do that as long as she lives.
Unfortunately, having been melded into the suit with no way to communicate verbally, Johnny Topside's chance at a 'normal life' ended the moment that suit was forced upon him. The change is irreversible.
This is tied as my favorite ending with the semi-neutral ending. If you harvest some of the little sisters before she sticks the needle in you to save you you’re given the choices “save yourself” or “sacrifice yourself” because if you become her conscious (at that point) then you knew she’d have the essence of a murderer inside her, guiding her towards the path of evil. But, if you sacrifice yourself you push the needle away before she stabs you to save her from you. And she sits with you on the edge as your vision fades “Upon waking. I am alone.You’d chose to die for me. You gave me one thing that nobody else did, my freedom. And I am greatful for your sacrifice. But father. Wherever you are... I miss you...”
Kinda him giving her a advice: ppl like me deserv dearh for my crimes Aka my mass killing in rupture. (And you to still have a somewhat good ending if you misscliked)
Its really amazing how in most of the endings the dialogue is the same, but the tone in which it is delivered, changes to the music and just one or two other changes makes it really scary or even creepy i guess. So kudos, to the ppl who wrote the dialogue
"The Rapture dream is over, but in waking, I am reborn. This world is not ready for me, yet here I am. It would be so easy to misjudge them. You are my conscious father, and I need you to guide me. You'll always be with me now father, your memories, your drives, and when I need you, you'll be there on my shoulder, whispering. If utopia is not a place, but a people, then we must choose carefully, and in our story, Rapture was just the beginning." *AHHHH IM CRYING... HELP PLEASE*
Headcanon: And on that day... the world began to get better. Not because of inventions or sciences or governments or wealth. Because of what you taught me father. Hope. Love. People are what make things better. You were right. And someday, everyone will have utopia as you gave me. I love you... father.
I love the political message bioshock sends in number 2. It respects both altruism, the politics of lamb, and objectivism, the politics of Ryan. He doesn't sacrifice himself for the greater good, but he also isn't afraid to go in harms way to help others
I get what you mean but I don't think that's really the political message, as much as that's the human psychology of how to live life, which is a good way to live life. a political message would be more about how to handle our societal resources and systems, as well as how to use them for the benefit of people. I don't think objectivism had any hold here anymore than collectivism did, they were both showcased as being terrible and in ruins in the games and they both failed their people, but that's about as far as the game goes in that regard, the rest of the game you is more about escaping and rescuing some of the survivors.
This ending had me ugly crying. So proud of what Eleanor chose to be and proud of myself for seeing all of those smiling little girls that will inevitably go on to live full and rich lives just like the little sisters from the first Bioshock went on to do.
Also other NPCs (if spared) should be there: - Grace should be next to the girls, relieved and again full of hope, happy much like them & Eleanor - Gilbert should jump like a dolphin from distance, still crazy, but at least also happy - Stanley & Sofia should be tied up tightly together (but still spared) by righteously angry sisters.
This whole game hit me right in the father feels, and I'm not even a dad. Loved the parts where you protect the little sisters while they are cheering for you.
Still gets to me after all this time, much like the end of the blind man's sequence in "Bride of Frankenstein". But I often do have a question: did Sofia Lamb ever forgive Delta for being a better parent than she ever was or Eleanor for proving to be a better child in spite of her attempts to make her something she never wanted to be?
In this ending, the best one, Delta is not only a better parent, he's a better PERSON - he was the most human character in the game; a "tin man" with a heart of gold. Towards the end you start seeing Sofia realizes that. I can't help but think that when he saw Eleanor saved her life and forgave her even after all she did, she in turn forgave Delta.
Aedd Gynvael I'd like to think that last part too...but human beings are remarkably pigheaded about holding onto grudges. Sofia realizing that Delta wasn't nearly the monster that she made him out to be (I've actually call him a Frankenstein monster of brass and rivets) still didn't stop her from sending in the troops during that last sequence. When Delta finally got to Eleanor, you can all but feel the anger and envy coming off Sofia for living up to her own ideals better than she ever did. So, much as I like to think that Eleanor saving Sofia's life might have changed her mother's mind, I've a bad feeling that Sofia felt thwarted in the end. Not only did she lose her child/social experiment to the better parent AND person, but she was denied her Valhalla exit from the stage.
I like to think reality had mentally slapped her in the face the moment Eleanor put that oxygen breather on her face, and when she looked out the door to see Eleanor and Little Sisters watching the sunrise together she broke down in tears in realizing how wrong she was.
I wish at the end even with being good all the way through, we still had the option to reject getting absorbed by Eleanor and let her live out her life completely free. We'd get the heartbreaking moment of neutral ending, and the bitter sweet funeral with possibly Eleanor along with the little sisters placing you facing the sun.
No matter how the game ends, Delta dies. What Eleanor is doing is absorbing his morals and survival instincts. In the good ending delta allows this because he knows it will help her, in the evil ending he isn't given a choice. But in neutral delta can reject it because he doesn't want her to become what he is.... yeah the only criticism I have about the ending is that they made it a little to poetic.
So... if he could see what she sees... isn't it weird? Because, he'll see things that will make him regret seeing. Like... well you know. Isn't it weird?
@@swarz08 Delta has become her equivalent to a Moral Compass, so I guess he would try to tell her from the beggining if what she's doing is wrong... Besides, I think he'll just cover his eyes, if he can't directly not be there altogether
I always wished i could have the arrangement of the first 50-80 seconds of this scene minus the dialog. Its so peaceful and i love the under sea theme.
I love that if your really - REALLY - commit to the Lawful-Good play through, you get such a wonderfully sweet ending. It's what we all wish for our lives...a hero's journey with a legacy for good echoing on into the future, through our children... For me, the best game in the franchise.
i wish that big daddy wasn't have to die so fast i wish he could stick with his daughter *cries* if i was him i will always love my daughter and all was protect her rest in peace big daddy hope you rest in peace
I will never once believe anyone that thinks canonically Subject Delta could be evil. This is one of the best good endings I’ve ever seen in a video game. You play as a man trapped in an iron tomb essentially with his life robbed of him, in search for the only person who could ever be able to fully understand him on a conscious level. And so you die a hero for the greater good proving once and for all, you never were a monster RIP Subject Delta. One of the only video game protagonists I was ever fully invested in.
According to Bioshock Infinite, Subject Delta was another version of Booker and Eleanor was another version of Elizabeth. I'm not kidding since they think Bioshock Infinite and their multiple realities was the best story ever written. Heck Rapture was another version of Columbia according to them.
@@johncase1353Basically they shat on the only two good entries of their franchise, i'm jesting infinite is good but bioshock one and two are vastly superior.
I've always loved how this game emphasizes that, as a parent, you have to set a good example to your kid because, even if they're teenagers, they _will_ take your example to heart
The Bioshock series were an utterly spectacular and truly unique set of games. Just amazing. Whenever I finish them I feel a genuine sadness that it’s over; a melancholy that makes me want to play them all over again right away.
@@peppermintboi2971 They could try but if Sofia Lamb and all the splicers in Rapture couldn't keep Delta away from Eleanor, the people on the surface definitely couldn't.
In Both Bioshock's i always saved every little sister... I was satisfied with good endings =) I wonder though... Eleanor says "But in our story Rapture is just the beggining" Will there be a new Bioshock game that starts after events of Bishock 1&2?
bioshock 2 was made by 2k marin (Australia I think) Kevin Levin had no part in developing the 2nd game which is why in most circles bioshock 2 is not considered Canon because it was mostly a cash grab by 2k (this dose not mean it's a bad game). from what I've heard, 2k is still interested in making sequels to bioshock. wither or not they do this is up to the publisher. bioshock 2 left a lot of things unanswered especially with manerva's den which should be explained in at least one more game. honestly though I'm satisfied with the trilogy that we got. barial at sea finished off the franchise beautifully- if not without a heartfelt goodbye but it's up to 2k now seeing as irrational games is shut down.
I was crying during this scene. I was feeling with Delta and all the sacrifices he made and at first I thought it was in vain because he was dying. But as a daughter that lost her father...I love to think that my father too stands beside me and guide me/whispers into my ear when I need him. This whole scene had such a personal strong note for me.
No one gonna pointed out how creepy this ending actually is? By taking Delta's conciousness into herself, Eleanor is saving delta from dissapear entirely. Which sounds sweet, until you started to think: despite being a genetically enchanced human, eleanor is still a human, wouldn't she have to pee and poo sometime? what if she found a guy, "THE guy", and they started dating and kissing and... and... All the while Delta saw it all? it sounds like a lifetime of torment for Delta...
All the while he has no real control. Yes she may let him wander round for a while like the Little Sister segment, plus this way he'll live on in a truly kind gesture, but it's not an ideal situation (I know it's not always attainable, but Delta's circumstances mean it's worth searching for). I'd rather him be able to breathe in and see this world he earnt in his own body. I know life isn't fair, but there's no human who'd be wholly ok with this situation.
He is just a consious. Not a second Brain. He Can only help with making choises not watch her every move. He's more of a "you will regret this CHoise later" or " you should do this"
In my opinion Jack didn't really die. Of course he passes away of old age in some unspecified future but he's still alive and well within the "present day" context. Also Delta sorta survives mentally/Spiritually.
I'm crying everytime i see this.... It's just so sad i cannot help but to not cry.... It's just so beautiful. I thank all my friends to have made play such a great game.
This ending hits a million times harder if you play the games in chronological order starting from Infinite, even if BioShock 2 doesn't fit Ken Levine's story.
I don’t want to forget the moment I played and got this ending. I know this is a videogame, but I really felt emotionally attached to this scene. It made me see that your actions control the future. I bursted into tears while watching this scene.
I understand all too well...to me, this should be held up as Exhibit A for every loudmouth who says how Bioshock 2 is a lesser creation because it wasn't made by Irrational Games.
Azatarot75 wait a minute... are there actually people who believe that bioshock 2 is a lesser creation? that is ridiculous because bioshock 2 was fucking amazing.
sickfunseeker Oh yes...you obviously haven't seen some of the comments I have or you would know them as well as I do. Not being made by Irrational Games and/or Ken Levine (who made this game possible, it has to be said) is the main reason why.
sickfunseeker It's pretty widely regarded by critics and fans to be an inferior game. It's no where near as intelligent with the subject matter as the first game, there are large sections of it that drag out, the atmosphere just isn't as good. I played each game once the whole way through when they came out. I vividly remember Bioshock 1, I could recite the major plot points and layout of each level from memory. Bioshock 2 however I barely remember. I have a vague recollection of fighting some women I didn't care about in a circular lobby of a brothel or something thats about it...forgettable would be the word. Bioshock 2 was good, but Bioshock 1s story was so rapped up, returning to a world that had been so perfectly portrayed in the first game made the second feel so unnecessary.
Thank you for providing me with the perfect example for sickfunseeker that illustrated my point better than I ever could. To the above, I have only this to say: So what? I could point out that the intelligence was there and you just missed it or that there was no "brothel" or that 2 made the best argument about the importance of bringing up children in the right way of any game I've ever seen...but I would be wasting my digital breath. You've obviously made up your mind and it's equally obvious that it's as closed as a dedicated in-company server.
This is how you do a good and bittersweet ending! To bad Ken Levine didn't do the ending for BaS Ep 2 like this, instead he did the bittersweet ending but kept it dark with not one bit of happiness in it.
Delta will live on in a way his memories and thoughts are with her now she'll keep them safe and in a way keep him alive, he did everything he could to make sure her life would go on, now she does the same.
"The Rapture Dream" was a myth. The dream of a better world, a better place, and a better time, is seen through the eyes of the children. Children are the architects of the future. That's why I love these games. It's a very subtle way to tell us that the greatest legacy a person can have is through their children.
this is my favorite ending... *sniff* it still makes me cry. (everyone gives strange looks) what? * sniff* just because I'm a guy doesn't mean i can't get emotional.
Bioshock 1's good ending made me happy, but it wasn't overly emotional. It was still beautiful seeing the girls grow up and be with Jack in his last moments before he passed away to old age. Bioshock 2's good ending made me sob. With Eleanor taking Delta's conscience with her after teaching her how to do good, it definitely touched my heart. But when all the little sisters showed up, all the girls I saved in my playthrough, I broke down crying. It was one of the most beautiful moments I have experienced in recent memory. It sucks that I will never get to experience these games blind again.
Took me a while to realize that Persephone falling dragged down Fontaine Futuristics with it and possibly the hidden lab too. Wiping out the source of the ADAM plague
Bioshock 1 GEnding:Jack saves the little sisters, gives them a life he shouldve had but the sisters deserved. he dies in bed with his daughters with him Bioshock 2 Gending: Delta dies but lives on in Eleanor, who in turn finally ends the cycle of pain of Rapture Infinite Ending:Depressing as all hell, choices dont matter, but there is SOME hope that Anna and Booker had a happy ending. BaS Ending: We see Elizabeth do something her father couldnt do. Face her guilt, and try and make things right. She started the fall of rapture, but in doing so saved it. She died happy knowing this, that Sally would have a life that Elizabeth(and Jack) Shouldve had. And that Eleanor would finally end the cycle of pain. Such a beautifully written story.
I seem to never have the will to ever take the bad ending on both Bioshock 1&2. Replayed this on Xbox one remastered collection and damn I remember again how much it likes to hit you straight in the feels. I like how Eleanor was monitoring your every action throughout the storyline and she learns from every little sister you save and every optional life you choose to spare. I love this ending.
I've been playing the Bioshock series on and off throughout the last decade, but I have never ever done a playthrough where I harvest even one little sister. I simply cannot bring myself to do it.
For most. This was the perfect ending. For me. I was hurt. I wanted to live. And guide her. I didn't want to die. And yet as she pierced my body. That feeling began to fade away. Like a sickness being cured. I always wanted to be with her. And realizing i can. I cried. I will not die before she is ready. I will always be there now. And love her during every step she takes.
Evil is just a word. This is true nobody strives to be bad unless they were hurt in the first place. There is no such thing as a person that can't change its just that not everyone wants to change and be better then what they are now because they can't see how that would benefit themselves. But anyone can change no matter what they did: lying, Stealing even murder can be forgiven if you change yourself and regret what you did. So please remember: you can change who you are so don't give up.❤
how can this game make me emotional over a 7ft tall armoured ass kicking machine
I don't know... But it can...
Captain Dreadnought Because Delta is an amazing father who gave his life to see his daughter one last time. You're not the only one😭 *starts tearing up*

Captain Dreadnought Because if you get this ending, you proved he was more than that. Sophia saw him as a monster, a relic of the Ryan regime who took her life's work away from her. But Grace called him right: "No monster ever turned the other cheek. A thinking man does that."

I love the political message bioshock sends in number 2. It respects both altruism, the politics of lamb, and objectivism, the politics of Ryan. He doesn't sacrifice himself for the greater good, but he also isn't afraid to go in harms way to help others
Lamb's politics wasn't altruism, it was collectivism, the rejection of the individual. Delta's rejection of both was altruism.
I get what you mean but I don't think that's really the political message, as much as that's the human psychology of how to live life, which is a good way to live life. a political message would be more about how to handle our societal resources and systems, as well as how to use them for the benefit of people.
I don't think objectivism had any hold here anymore than collectivism did, they were both showcased as being terrible and in ruins in the games and they both failed their people, but that's about as far as the game goes in that regard, the rest of the game you is more about escaping and rescuing some of the survivors.

I love this ending because Delta gets to live on with and in Eleanor.
The orchestral arrangement, the voice actresses emotional delivery, and looking at the Little Sisters.....hard not to cry. Masterpiece ending.
I always wished i could have the arrangement of the first 50-80 seconds of this scene minus the dialog. Its so peaceful and i love the under sea theme.
yeah no matter how happy or angry i am before hand, i always ugly cry
tne good ending teaches us to just let it go *sobs* 😟😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
it's very emotional and heartwarming. one of my favourite video game endings ever. I love it! :)

The bad one is just plain depressing
Take notes Naughty Dog, that's how you say goodbye to a beloved character. Subject Delta is definitely one of the underrated fathers in video games.

2 completely different stories that literally have nothing in common except parenting

I love that if your really - REALLY - commit to the Lawful-Good play through, you get such a wonderfully sweet ending. It's what we all wish for our lives...a hero's journey with a legacy for good echoing on into the future, through our children... For me, the best game in the franchise.
i wish that big daddy wasn't have to die so fast i wish he could stick with his daughter *cries* if i was him i will always love my daughter and all was protect her rest in peace big daddy hope you rest in peace
willy susanto In a way, he'll always be around Eleanor now.
Delta didn't die. His conscience is inside Eleanor.
I will never once believe anyone that thinks canonically Subject Delta could be evil. This is one of the best good endings I’ve ever seen in a video game.
You play as a man trapped in an iron tomb essentially with his life robbed of him, in search for the only person who could ever be able to fully understand him on a conscious level. And so you die a hero for the greater good proving once and for all, you never were a monster
RIP Subject Delta. One of the only video game protagonists I was ever fully invested in.
According to Bioshock Infinite, Subject Delta was another version of Booker and Eleanor was another version of Elizabeth. I'm not kidding since they think Bioshock Infinite and their multiple realities was the best story ever written. Heck Rapture was another version of Columbia according to them.
@@johncase1353Basically they shat on the only two good entries of their franchise, i'm jesting infinite is good but bioshock one and two are vastly superior.
I've always loved how this game emphasizes that, as a parent, you have to set a good example to your kid because, even if they're teenagers, they _will_ take your example to heart
I didn't even play the game but this touches me.
Well did you play the game during the 5 years that passed after you posted this comment?

This ending made me cry so hard :'(
The Bioshock series were an utterly spectacular and truly unique set of games. Just amazing. Whenever I finish them I feel a genuine sadness that it’s over; a melancholy that makes me want to play them all over again right away.
I really disliked Infinite but the BioShock 1 and 2 were BOTH masterpieces.
@@omegamanGXE I agree infinite is bad.
@@streammarriedtothemusicbys3793 You think that because you’re looking at it through the old games’ lens

im gonna say it.....
i want to hug the little sisters like if you agree
i mean dosent everyone!? honestly
Steamed hams the ones from Bioshock 1 were cuter, especially their funny dialogue. 😂
The good endings leave me breathless the most beautiful life lesson ending in my opinion.😇😇💖💖💖
One of the most beautiful games ever created. Loved the good ending, wish subject delta lived.
But that means people would see a big daddy on the street and looking at civilization they would take him from her and we don’t want that
@@peppermintboi2971 They could try but if Sofia Lamb and all the splicers in Rapture couldn't keep Delta away from Eleanor, the people on the surface definitely couldn't.

Why does every bioshock game so sad
In Both Bioshock's i always saved every little sister...
I was satisfied with good endings =)
I wonder though...
Eleanor says "But in our story Rapture is just the beggining"
Will there be a new Bioshock game that starts after events of Bishock 1&2?
+Spiro Dra Unlikely, as the studio was shut down not long after Infinite.
but wasnt Bioshock 2 made by diffrent studio?
also i doubt 2k wouldnt want to continue bioshock since its famous
+Spiro Dra maybe
bioshock 2 was made by 2k marin (Australia I think) Kevin Levin had no part in developing the 2nd game which is why in most circles bioshock 2 is not considered Canon because it was mostly a cash grab by 2k (this dose not mean it's a bad game).
from what I've heard, 2k is still interested in making sequels to bioshock. wither or not they do this is up to the publisher. bioshock 2 left a lot of things unanswered especially with manerva's den which should be explained in at least one more game.
honestly though I'm satisfied with the trilogy that we got. barial at sea finished off the franchise beautifully- if not without a heartfelt goodbye but it's up to 2k now seeing as irrational games is shut down.
Evil Eleanor vs Evil Jack. I always chose the good endings but that is a story worth telling.
One of the most underated games in the history of video games
I was crying during this scene. I was feeling with Delta and all the sacrifices he made and at first I thought it was in vain because he was dying. But as a daughter that lost her father...I love to think that my father too stands beside me and guide me/whispers into my ear when I need him. This whole scene had such a personal strong note for me.
This literally made me cry :')
same my shirt looked like I just got hit by a water baloon :')
out of all of the endings this is the one that made me cry the most:,)
No one gonna pointed out how creepy this ending actually is?
By taking Delta's conciousness into herself, Eleanor is saving delta from dissapear entirely.
Which sounds sweet, until you started to think: despite being a genetically enchanced human, eleanor is still a human, wouldn't she have to pee and poo sometime? what if she found a guy, "THE guy", and they started dating and kissing and... and...
All the while Delta saw it all? it sounds like a lifetime of torment for Delta...
Someone needs to make a comic out of that
All the while he has no real control. Yes she may let him wander round for a while like the Little Sister segment, plus this way he'll live on in a truly kind gesture, but it's not an ideal situation (I know it's not always attainable, but Delta's circumstances mean it's worth searching for). I'd rather him be able to breathe in and see this world he earnt in his own body. I know life isn't fair, but there's no human who'd be wholly ok with this situation.
He is just a consious. Not a second Brain. He Can only help with making choises not watch her every move. He's more of a "you will regret this CHoise later" or " you should do this"
she preserve his memories.
so he's not a second person inside her mind.
It's more they fused together.
Well, it's that or death. I like to imagine Delta can just blind himself in moments like that.
I never even played this game and I'm sitting here bawling
We always die in the bioshock endings
Jack survived though and died normally by natural aging
In my opinion Jack didn't really die. Of course he passes away of old age in some unspecified future but he's still alive and well within the "present day" context. Also Delta sorta survives mentally/Spiritually.
Except Sigma
Jack didn’t die tho he made it out with sally and some little sisters
@@AxisChurchDevotee True
Booker let himself be stopped from committing his sins.
Elizabeth made amends for her vengeance.
Jack rescued the victims.
Delta chose mercy.
This Bioshock 2 ending made me go on a Depression that lasted a whole month..
*The most heartbreaking ending for a game*
Burial at Sea is worse
I'm crying everytime i see this.... It's just so sad i cannot help but to not cry.... It's just so beautiful. I thank all my friends to have made play such a great game.
Exwelly I'm not dead I just passed out and my little sis take my Adam away so I'm not dead
Delta Subject You are dead.... Taking your adams kills you.... bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Subject_Delta
well did you play as me BC when ur dead I can bring back alive with a vita chamber right away :)
Not when they take your adams. Delta is dead and not coming back
Filip Carlsson But his consciousness still lives one in Eleanor.
God. Dem Bioshock Feels. Box of tissues needed
The ending makes me want to cry because of how happy it is. Every time
This ending hits a million times harder if you play the games in chronological order starting from Infinite, even if BioShock 2 doesn't fit Ken Levine's story.
I don’t want to forget the moment I played and got this ending. I know this is a videogame, but I really felt emotionally attached to this scene. It made me see that your actions control the future. I bursted into tears while watching this scene.
This ending made me cry when i played it
I'm crying right now.
I understand all too well...to me, this should be held up as Exhibit A for every loudmouth who says how Bioshock 2 is a lesser creation because it wasn't made by Irrational Games.
Azatarot75 wait a minute... are there actually people who believe that bioshock 2 is a lesser creation? that is ridiculous because bioshock 2 was fucking amazing.
sickfunseeker Oh yes...you obviously haven't seen some of the comments I have or you would know them as well as I do. Not being made by Irrational Games and/or Ken Levine (who made this game possible, it has to be said) is the main reason why.
sickfunseeker It's pretty widely regarded by critics and fans to be an inferior game. It's no where near as intelligent with the subject matter as the first game, there are large sections of it that drag out, the atmosphere just isn't as good.
I played each game once the whole way through when they came out. I vividly remember Bioshock 1, I could recite the major plot points and layout of each level from memory. Bioshock 2 however I barely remember. I have a vague recollection of fighting some women I didn't care about in a circular lobby of a brothel or something thats about it...forgettable would be the word.
Bioshock 2 was good, but Bioshock 1s story was so rapped up, returning to a world that had been so perfectly portrayed in the first game made the second feel so unnecessary.
Thank you for providing me with the perfect example for sickfunseeker that illustrated my point better than I ever could.
To the above, I have only this to say: So what? I could point out that the intelligence was there and you just missed it or that there was no "brothel" or that 2 made the best argument about the importance of bringing up children in the right way of any game I've ever seen...but I would be wasting my digital breath. You've obviously made up your mind and it's equally obvious that it's as closed as a dedicated in-company server.
This game will go down as the greatest game in history...
Nah, unfortunately this game goes down as the most underrated game in series and sometimes will be forgotten.
This is how you do a good and bittersweet ending! To bad Ken Levine didn't do the ending for BaS Ep 2 like this, instead he did the bittersweet ending but kept it dark with not one bit of happiness in it.
I always have loved this ending :).
After enduring all that, I would have much more preffered to just be left to pass away. Daddy needs his rest
Delta will live on in a way his memories and thoughts are with her now she'll keep them safe and in a way keep him alive, he did everything he could to make sure her life would go on, now she does the same.
I saved every girl.
"The Rapture Dream" was a myth. The dream of a better world, a better place, and a better time, is seen through the eyes of the children. Children are the architects of the future.
That's why I love these games. It's a very subtle way to tell us that the greatest legacy a person can have is through their children.
8 years later and I'm still bawling my eyes out god damn
am trying not to cry
I'm trying to cry
Im very proud of myself of earning this ending in my first and only gameplay
Here tho ;"""""3
I finish the game 2 days ago... and cry a LOT with this end.
For people who think Eleanor killed Delta: she actually take his a bit of genetic information to create him again in surface
Maybe I wouldn't need raputure technology to revive it? just like delta live her.
This ending might be the one that affected me the most emotionally out of any video game. So sad and beautiful.
This and The Darkness 2 have the most beautiful endings in video gaming period so many emotions and such beauty!
The voice of Eleanor is really beautiful, along with the strings.
this is my favorite ending... *sniff* it still makes me cry.
(everyone gives strange looks)
what? * sniff* just because I'm a guy doesn't mean i can't get emotional.
That violin makes my tears jump out of my eyes
This game made me cry so many times this part was especially heart touching
Bioshock 1's good ending made me happy, but it wasn't overly emotional. It was still beautiful seeing the girls grow up and be with Jack in his last moments before he passed away to old age.
Bioshock 2's good ending made me sob. With Eleanor taking Delta's conscience with her after teaching her how to do good, it definitely touched my heart. But when all the little sisters showed up, all the girls I saved in my playthrough, I broke down crying. It was one of the most beautiful moments I have experienced in recent memory.
It sucks that I will never get to experience these games blind again.
Took me a while to realize that Persephone falling dragged down Fontaine Futuristics with it and possibly the hidden lab too. Wiping out the source of the ADAM plague
i got this ending in my first playthrough im proud of me self
Goated ending. Saving your child and giving her hope for the future is the best ending a parent can ask for.
TOO MANY SISTERS.
Just finished bioshock 2 remastered
I am truly glad I got this pure ending
Worthy of the game
OMG THE FEELS HIT ME LIKE A NUKE! I LITERALLY CRYED 😖
Bioshock 1 GEnding:Jack saves the little sisters, gives them a life he shouldve had but the sisters deserved. he dies in bed with his daughters with him
Bioshock 2 Gending: Delta dies but lives on in Eleanor, who in turn finally ends the cycle of pain of Rapture
Infinite Ending:Depressing as all hell, choices dont matter, but there is SOME hope that Anna and Booker had a happy ending.
BaS Ending: We see Elizabeth do something her father couldnt do. Face her guilt, and try and make things right. She started the fall of rapture, but in doing so saved it. She died happy knowing this, that Sally would have a life that Elizabeth(and Jack) Shouldve had. And that Eleanor would finally end the cycle of pain.
Such a beautifully written story.
This is probably the sweetest ending of any game I have played in a long time
I seem to never have the will to ever take the bad ending on both Bioshock 1&2. Replayed this on Xbox one remastered collection and damn I remember again how much it likes to hit you straight in the feels. I like how Eleanor was monitoring your every action throughout the storyline and she learns from every little sister you save and every optional life you choose to spare. I love this ending.
was anyone else taking a massive dump while watching it??
Yup!
Sweet mother of science I don't play bio shock no more so STFU darude sandstorm
You ruined my mood!!, i was sad!
Transistor Express I was
I've been playing the Bioshock series on and off throughout the last decade, but I have never ever done a playthrough where I harvest even one little sister. I simply cannot bring myself to do it.
When I played I rescued all little sisters, let all characters live but Sofia still died. did I discover another ending or what?
bioshock will always be my most favorite game i love how there always so touching at the end and i can't wait for bioshock infinite.
heartbreaking and beautiful music :(((
For most. This was the perfect ending.
For me. I was hurt.
I wanted to live. And guide her. I didn't want to die.
And yet as she pierced my body. That feeling began to fade away. Like a sickness being cured.
I always wanted to be with her. And realizing i can. I cried.
I will not die before she is ready.
I will always be there now. And love her during every step she takes.
just watching this almost made me tear up. Can't wait to earn the ending for myself.
Doing it on hard is very difficult But it is So worth it
I just recently played Bioshock 1 and 2, (currently busy with Infinite), and i can’t get the endings out of my head.
Yeah, played BioShock 2 four years ago and i still come here
crying almost
Evil is just a word. This is true nobody strives to be bad unless they were hurt in the first place. There is no such thing as a person that can't change its just that not everyone wants to change and be better then what they are now because they can't see how that would benefit themselves. But anyone can change no matter what they did: lying, Stealing even murder can be forgiven if you change yourself and regret what you did. So please remember: you can change who you are so don't give up.❤
Took me so long to get all of the endings but it was worth it
Delta doing what Booker can't.
I still say this game is the best of the 3, especially with the Minerva's Den DLC
That music score really sells the sentiment of this scene. Great job!
I just finished the game, and got this ending. Im crying. Someone halp ;-;
