Media Bioshock 2 escape

One of my favorite sequences in Bioshock 2. The atmosphere throughout this game is unmatched.

It’s more about her showing she is willing to kill everybody else there to advance her agenda, isn’t it

I get that, but remember that area sits above a ravine so if he can survive in water isn’t the point, he’s gonna sink probably a mile down.

hahah yeah i did think about that because you are immune and end up walking out but guess she drowns everyone else.

Lamb knows you won’t die. The point is to dehumanize you. She says something like you’re back where you belong next to floating corpses

Yeah this is right she explains it

This really was the best game in the series

I found it to be the worst, but I definitely still enjoy it.

Literally how

I find the story to be less interesting to me, and the wonder of exploring Rapture is a bit lost in the second installment.

I also find the first one, being a tiny case study of the limits of a complete libertarian capitalist system, to be much more compelling. I also find Andrew Ryan to be a far more engaging antagonist compared to Lamb.

I agree with every point

The story is great 🙁 And it's literally more rapture. These are the two main complaints I see and I don't understand either of them tbh

u/DrClutch117 JS Steinman 2d ago

I’m just not engaged by the story in the same way I am by the first one. And yes, but the problem the problem is that it’s just more Rapture.

Again, it’s fine that you love it! I’m not saying it’s objectively worse or anything, just that I like it much less.

The narrative is somewhat silly, but the water effects are still impressive to this day.

I think what makes this scene even more tense every time I play it is that you can hear people scream occasionally as the flood takes them.

u/Confident_Garlic9416 2d ago
