Best products from r/Bioshock

Back when i played the original Bioshock in 2007 i was amazed. Playing in the 60-70s setting with the music to compliment it made everything in the game surreal. Call me stupid but i would imagine myself in that era setting and what it would be like. Its not only the game that made me love it but the imagination that went along with it. The bioshock series have been the one of the best story telling games that i have ever played. The game does a very good job making you emotionally involved within its universe.

Here is a link to an amazon deal going on for both bioshock 1 and 2 for and infinite all for $35. These are steam download games. Hopefully you have a good enough pc to play them at such a great deal. http://www.amazon.com/2K-Games-Bioshock-Triple-Download/dp/B00DOD0TZG/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1375287866&sr=1-1&keywords=bioshock+triple+pack

Hey OP, for an awesome back story, Play bioshock 1 first, then get a hold of the book Bioshock: Rapture by John Shirleyhttps://www.amazon.com/BioShock-Rapture-John-Shirley/dp/0765367351










its an amazing 430 page book I just finished yesterday. It gives you an awesome back story to bioshock 1, and makes some references to Bioshock 2. But it has spoilers in it so play 1 first! Welcome to Rapture!

Definitely, after playing the whole series its nice to see it all come together as a whole! Don't worry I got you on the book info! Here's a actual link and what not : [Rapture the book] ( http://www.amazon.com/BioShock-Rapture-John-Shirley/dp/0765367351 ) its fantastic book during the creation of rapture with all your favourite characters. You get to see alot of the universe in the book, also it uses alot of the dialogue that was used audio diaries within it. All of it is in written from Bill McDonagh's pov from the creation of rapture as a city to the fall of rapture as a city.

People seem interested in it and i'm home now, the link is below. The link is for the Canadian Amazon but will work anywhere i'm sure if you search it in your respective country. It comes from the UK I believe. It's well done.

The price is a steal of a deal however if you look at the dimensions, it's off and has to be customized, it will cost around $100-$250 to get a frame built, so it's a bit of an investment but worth it in my opinion.

EDIT: I also got another painting, and the frame was simple enough, $3, and the painting $10 is the one below, I love it and it's from Reddit Gifts.

Yes she does. Ken Levine said in an interview that's what he was going for.

But as /u/fleebnork mentioned, it's based incredibly heavily on the World's Columbian Exposition. There's a wonderful 2-hour documentary on the Exposition on Amazon Prime here. I highly recommend it for anybody interested in it! And after you watch the documentary you can really see the inspiration for Columbia.

You can get a PC download of Infinite pretty cheap. It's $10 on Amazon right now.

Apart from this, the DLC is totally worth it. Just make sure you played the original BioShock too!

Tried reading the book?
It's pretty good if you're super into the lore, even if the writing isn't top notch. Ken Levine gave it his blessing...

So, I figured I'd just give some info on this ensemble. I got most of the pieces on Amazon

This was put together for Wizard Con in NYC yesterday. I was there doing interviews with Another Way Around: The Away Cast. Our interview video will be up soon. One of the guys from the site put on my "First Outfit" Elizabeth costume and we competed for "Who Wore it Better". He won. :-)

In case anyone is interested, this is the cover to "Bioshock: Rapture" by John Shirley. Great book. Link: http://www.amazon.com/BioShock-Rapture-John-Shirley/dp/0765367351

If you get a chance to read the rapture book they sort of talk about rapture when it was running. I would absolutely love to explore it

Giving a link to where to find it might help dude!

Also, can anyone recommend these two?

If you want a Big Daddy figure, I'd recommend to the moon and back the Big Daddy Funko Pop. It doesn't even look like a funko pop, it's super solid and heavy, and it costs way less.

This one. It's only 30 pages.


Edit: Just wanted to add that it's still buyable but it was also a pre-order bonus for people who ordered the game through Amazon.

The book Bioshock : Rapture explains how Fontaine had established a good foundation in Rapture. His curt business tactics impressed Andrew (though A.R. didn't trust him very much) to which he gave Frank extended access throughout Rapture.

This is in no way the best computer you could use for gaming, but it's a pretty cheap laptop. I own it, and can handle BioShock Infinite on High. (Same goes for its predecessors.)

Just ordered it for $5.72 on Amazon with 2-day prime shipping! My wife absolutely loves both reading and bioshock, so I can't wait to see the look on her face when this arrives.

Woo! It's much cheaper than when I purchased it. I recommend it.

I bought these two posters to go next to each other on my wall. I absolutely love them.

I recommend for anyone who hasn't and is interesting in the early days of Rapture, to read the book. Here's the link.

I just read it about a month ago, and it was really good.

That's the "sample" booklet that came with the Collector's Edition of the game. It's a lot smaller and indeed has only 64 pages, with art that's taken from the bigger version.

That version is for sale at amazon for a reasonable price (I payed a lot more for mine :') )

It is explained. In the novella Mind In Revolt, Daisy mentions that some were convicts who had their sentences waived to work for Fink. Some had families to feed, and Fink promised a fair wage and housing for their families. Daisy also mentions how she's heard stories of minorities who were passed out drunk on the streets who were kidnapped to work for Fink. They weren't brought to Columbia like other citizens and were taken to Finkton in the middle of the night.

I enjoyed it.

If you're looking for a prequel, I'd suggest the recently published book Rapture. The action jumps around a bit beginning in the second third, but I found myself engrossed in the rise and fall of Andrew Ryan's world. Highly recommended.

Actually if you're interested there is a book that is suppose to pertain to leading up to rapture. How it was built and what not.

Check it out

I bought the 'limited edition' hard back game guide just for this. Though, the book still does look nice and has some cool art in it.

In case you haven't bought anything yet, it's probably the cheapest way to get the key chain. Link!

You can get a similar poster cheaper at amazon You can even get it with an Ez hang frame.

It's very well done, and follows the novelization very closely.

Here ya go I found the actual links for you
