"Three Words Would Ruin it for You." (VERY Minor GENERAL Spoilers)

[Inresurrection]

Some wicked new info I wasn't aware of before the PC Gamer review.

The PC Gamer UK scans are here if you want them:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/rtpar3

First paragraph.

"It's vital that you don't let anyone spoil BioShock for you, and three words would ruin it for you."

I find that interesting. Something HUGE must happen, or there must be something absolutely vital to the story that we don't know about yet. One giant twist or story detail.

When talking about the audio quality and the acting quality (which they say is perfect), they say "There's even a plot twist that hinges on one voice actor sounding natural saying something very deliberate, and they pull it off."

Also, the reviewer says that he focused on his wrench so much that by the end of the game, he could pop a brain with one hit. :D

Aw, hell, I could go on and on. Do yourself a favour and read it. :D

Scratch that, not broken, just weird to make out what the site is. I think people were not expecting a download.

[Inresurrection]

Ahh.

THE LINK IN THE ORIGINAL POST IS A DOWNLOAD LINK.

:p

[Redraf]

Sounds good to me :).

95% is a very good score.

[Nemos]

Three words:

You were dreaming.

My guess anyway. Final Destination-esque, having a dream on the plane; then waking up terrified, though it not actually happening in this case. Because after all, on long flights you do tend to have a nap, and no telling what your imagination might think up flying over the ocean.

However, I guess this can be thrown out the window of possibility because an audio log contains a plot twist. And it's hardly going to say "You are dreaming", or something along those lines -- I can't imagine an audio log saying anything to imply statis of some form.

Unless of course it is simply a plot twist in your dream, with another plot twist later on at the end, being that you wake up and were dreaming. Meh just give the game already so I can play it and find out all of Rapture's secrets >=D.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5OTKSCY4 the one I scanned a couple of days ago mentioned in my thread (http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2255). Nice and clear if the fuzzy one was driving you nuts ;) .

[GoofyAce]

I personally think the words are Rapture does drown

[darthkiwi]

Three words. Okay, how about:

You're a clone.

or,

It's the Matrix.

or,

You're already dead.

[GoofyAce]

Use the spoiler blocker please

[GoofyAce]

Couple of things one good, one bad
The good one is that they seem not to have told us much of what you can actually do and see, the bad thing is that the ending seems to be a really bad climax as compared to the rest of the movie.

[snEEkie Villain]

yeah i remember that, i found it pretty interesting.

people shouldn't be guessing though, it'll sort of ruin it for you if you already knew what those three words were. :rolleyes:

[irrationallevine]

I can promise you "It was all a crazy dream" is not what BioShock is about.

[^ilovebioshock!]

i know what the three words could be This Isn't BioShock :D

[lurchibald]

i know what the three words could be This Isn't BioShock :D

yeah, your five hours into it then you're like "What!? so you are saying this is actually Hello Kitty: Island Adventures!?:p"

[poopypooperson]

You're stuck here.
You're an experiment.
Everyone is dead.
The year: 2007

Some of those might be cool. :cool:

[snEEkie Villain]

I can promise you "It was all a crazy dream" is not what BioShock is about.

hahah, wow, i wonder if a game has ever done this before? :eek:

[lurchibald]

hahah, wow, i wonder if a game has ever done this before? :eek:

didnt "Dreamfall: the longest journey" do that? or was i just confused at the ending?

[lokar36]

I'll bet you money it's one of these:

You are Atlas
Or
You are Ryan

With all the comments made by the team this the real ending.

[redrain85]

Ryan to your character: "I'm your father."

Okay, so technically that's four words . . . :D

[revengematron3]

Why's everyone putting their suggestions in spoiler boxes? It's speculation, not actual fact.

[darthkiwi]

Why's everyone putting their suggestions in spoiler boxes? It's speculation, not actual fact.

Yeah, sorry about not putting mine in a spoiler box but I thought it wasn't necessary since I just put down the three most stereotypical "surprise" endings I could think of.

If I did accidentally figure out the ending and stupidly spoiled it for everyone, sorry...

[^ilovebioshock!]

Yeah, sorry about not putting mine in a spoiler box but I thought it wasn't necessary since I just put down the three most stereotypical "surprise" endings I could think of.

dude he is saying WHY DID everyone put them in spoiler boxes

[501105]

My quess is: you are Andrew

[darthkiwi]

dude he is saying WHY DID everyone put them in spoiler boxes

I know, but GoofyAce said:

Use the spoiler blocker please

That's why I said sorry. revengematron3 asked why everyone put theirs in spoiler boxes, which I quoted to sort of back up the reason that I didn't. I apologise for any confusion.

[gughunter]

My guess is:

That wasn't ham!

[Booze_Hound]

Are the words: "It's a dream"?

[Booze_Hound]

Sorry for double post, but have you edited the second page? It starts the sentence but doesn't finish (and without a full stop), also, you can see two spots of white where the words used to be. Are these the words you and the magazine mentioned?

[Black_Dog]

maybe

THIS! IS! SPARTA!

:P

[purplerose1414]

Are the words: "It's a dream"?

I can promise you "It was all a crazy dream" is not what BioShock is about.

:D


thisisten

[Faenaris]

My quess is: you are Andrew

Somehow, I thought that too. Does remind me a bit of the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

[purplerose1414]

Wouldn't Atlas recognise Ryan? I really don't think it's a "You are ryan/atlas" kind of thing.

[ReccaKun]

It could be "I am gay"...

Oh wait, that's how you break up with a girl. :D

Seriously, it's probably something like "You become them" because of all the plasmid use.

[purplerose1414]

I should clarify what U meant in case someone misunderstands. I don't think it's You are Ryan/Atlas. It could very well be that type of twist though.

[purplerose1414]

Jeez. "I". I swear half my post count is corrective.

[Rapture011191]

It could be "I am gay"...

Oh wait, that's how you break up with a girl. :D

Seriously, it's probably something like "You become them" because of all the plasmid use.

Thats very possible...if you used all the plasmids and went mad with power...you become them

Dont use all the plasmids, save the LS, bla bla..
You saved them? or something? Cause we know theres atleast 2 endings...so, we need to look for 2 different 3 word endings!

Thanks for posting that. As soon as the 21st rolls around, I may have to boycott the internet entirely until I beat the game. I fear someone will go around repeating that stupid SNAPE KILLED DUMBLEDORE stuff, complete with false threads and YTMND's. :mad:

[Derftron]

^ I agree, I may not be able to use the internet after the 21st due to people spoiling the game, so I have to wait another 3 days till the 24th without internet :0

Tis will be tough times.

[darthkiwi]

Yeah, I hate it when some sadistic loser blurts out the ending.

Thanks for the article, SolidBladeSnake, it's very encouraging. On a negative note, it makes me want to play it nooooow...!:(

[Tom Francis]

Heh. One of you has actually said something that's true, but no-one's come close to the three words yet. They wouldn't make sense on their own, but when you came to play the game you would start to notice something that you're definitely not supposed to notice. Something very subtle, very clever, and very sinister.

I think we're going to see a lot of forumites with these words, or their initials, as their sigs by the end of the month.

[Jargner]

You are dead? No, that doesn't make sense. Or does it?:eek:

[FreshLaundryX]

I haven't read this thread yet, nor have I read the article.

However, when I saw the first post and then when to go make coffee I had a vision and now I know what the three words are. It must be.

Atlas was right

[FreshLaundryX]

when + "I went"

[FreshLaundryX]

i'm reading it now...
this IS game of the year. already. i don't think there is any question. as i paid off my LE reservation the dude at gamestop agreed with me.

[Inquisitor Loki]

Hey thanks for the scans, I have been looking for them for awhile now.

[CodeMonkey]

I know the three words...


"Forced protate exams!"

At least that would ruin it for me...

[Camp1nCarl]

Well everyone better stay off the internet after the 21st until you beat it. Unless the mods go into overdrive and delete all the spoilers without spoiler tags.

[FreshLaundryX]

I know the three words...


"Forced prostate exams!"

At least that would ruin it for me...



Well I'm not shelling out an extra $75 for the 360 controller attachment.

[unkown soldier]

what about " you caused this"

[Jigoku]

the words im thinking of is

"In your Mind"

or

"you have Schizophrenia"

something like this might be in the game or something total diffrent discovering thos 3 little words well be fun figuring out i cant wate.

[Savage Jon]

It would make sense if the player was andrew that would explain why almost everybody wants to kill him and why his plane was near rapture *dont think that is a coincidence*
I thought it said the player was "Tom"?

[CodeMonkey]

Well I'm not shelling out an extra $75 for the 360 controller attachment.

LMAO, and don't forget the lube, that can get expensive after a while.

[Tom Francis]

I thought it said the player was "Tom"?

Your character's called Jack, unfortunately.

[poopypooperson]

Your character's called Jack, unfortunately.So it's not Paul Hellquist?! I'm not buying this game.

[Pandariffic]

Atlas Was Right. =]

[Arrested Developer]

didnt "Dreamfall: the longest journey" do that? or was i just confused at the ending?

It's been awhile since I played dreamfall but I think you're confused. They left the plot with a cliffhanger so there's bound to be another game. And since it was a sequel where you mainly played zoe instead of the first heroine, April Ryan, it be weird to negate the entire first game and its plot by having the second game be a dream.

Anyway on topic, my guess for the three words

Snape Kills Dumbledore.

[lurchibald]

i think it was like another world that could only be accessed Through a "dream" but the world is real (it has been ages since i played it ass well) because i remember that in the end you are talking to that guy near the fire in the place with all the snow near where there was a lone house where you have to find that girl(?) and then it pans out with you on a bed in a house on an island and your father(?) is looking after you while you are in a coma(?)

[Seamonkey]

"Chuck Norris Dies"

Oh god, I hope not.

[chirs3]

Your character's called Jack, unfortunately.

!!!

I've got it!

You're Jack Bauer.

[Seamonkey]

What if it were

"More Cities Exist"

[Nias Wolf]

"More Cities Exist"

Then we get a sequel! :D

[Seamonkey]

!!!

This seems a likely possibility.

I dunno how they are gonna do another sequel inside of rapture, unless it's a prequel.

[Faenaris]

Perhaps the words are:

Atlas is Ryan

I'll blame that idea on System Shock 2. :)

[lurchibald]

maybe

Saving private Ryan :p

[TheVinster]

Snape Kills Dumbledore?

I didn't bother to read the numerous pages, but I'd take a guess somebody already said this. :)

[BLACKPHIENIX]

Maybe

What the F***

[DNAgent]

I don't know if anyone will even read this but I think it will be...

Hate your family?

Seeing as how you seem to do a lot of killing in the game and it would make it a weird ending.

[Camp1nCarl]

You are dead
Rapture isn't real
You travel time
Some of my ideas.

maybe its "Thanks for Playing"

[Lythius]

well it could have been:

Bioshock?....THIS IS SYSTEM SHOCK 3!!!!!!

no edit sorry..

That is if it were more then 3 words but then it would be
System shock 3? or System shock 0 lol
how do i do the spoiler cover?

[TheColonel]

I'll bet you money it's one of these:

You are Atlas
Or
You are Ryan

With all the comments made by the team this the real ending.

I think you are right, or the classic:

ATLAS WAS RIGHT

[Nias Wolf]

Atlas Was Right doesn't make sence. You see it written all over the place. We don't know if it has any secret meaning, but hearing those words doesn't ruin the game for you, does it? :confused:

All it means is that Atlas didn't agree with Ryan, right?

No, it doesn't ruin it for me now. Though knowing who to trust would. I think the references to Rand beg the question: is this game going to end with a moral climax as opposed to the typical boss battle, in which case knowing right from wrong, before even playing the game and having to make those decisions for ones self, would ruin it. Bite the apple or don't bite the apple, in either case the words could be:

You are Adam

[Pandamar]

I know it's not three words, but maybe "Rapture was an experiment" or something similar.

like "Rapture's the catalyst"?

[Fernandez]

Maybe it's (God forbid) "This sucks alot"......

[Nemos]

Ryan Owns Us

[Driftimus]

Since for the moment, how to put a message into a spoiler safety eludes me, I'm going to give you all A BIG LONG space before I give my entry.









































I feel that Atlas Was Right COULD spoil the game, but not until you HAD the game and knew at least A LITTLE about the story, so I dismiss that as the words for now. I'll take a stab at a few guesses....

"You Are BigDaddy"? Technically a word over if you count Big and Daddy seperately. You may be one of the BD's in the end if you protect and save all the little sisters instead of reaping their Adam.

"Here is Jacky!" LOL if indeed what one poster said is true, and youre char's name is Jack. Perfect for going insane in an underwater utopia, yet reminiscent of The Shining at the same time. :P

"You Are Lord"? Perhaps if in the end, you become king or God-like or leader-like to the people of Rapture by defeating all evil and somehow restoring the town to its old glory? Like in The Chronicles Of Riddick...the last line(or one of the last) is "You Keep What You Kill". Sort of like that. In this case, "You Keep What You Save". :P

"Welcome to Hell"? Probably not, but Sort of like this is your hell, your sentence to everlasting misery being trapped in an underwater hell with spookies all around? I say everlasting because of the chance that if you consume enough adam, you become immortal.

"You Are Dead"......wouldn't that be spectacular? If alot of the people(splicers) are reliving old memories(like the doctor saying it is standard procedure), to them, it must look all normal like before everything went awry. Like for Ghosts, some people theorize that Ghosts keep on living without knowing that they are dead, thinking all the while everything is normal. If you've ever seen the movie "The Others", you'll get what I'm saying. What if you died in the plane crash? And carried on without knowing. Even though ALOT of holes are in this theory(how do ghosts power up with tonics??? They aren't organic, they are DEAD!), my money goes to this one or something very similar to it.

[Exfederalie]

"To be continued..."

[hein]

It's not real.

[I'm your big daddy!]

Can't Touch Thisdooh dooh doo-doo

[Danderman]

would be cool if it was something along the lines of an experiment conducted by pimp my utopia

[Evitron]

well it could have been:

Bioshock?....THIS IS SYSTEM SHOCK 3!!!!!!

*boots into ocean*

[TheColonel]

Lasciate ogni speranza

I know. now i think it would be interesting to see how the game would have played out had some of these "twist endings" existed.
