    Ryan ain't dead!

    Is it just me or has most of you "fans" forgotten about Vita-Chambers?

    Ryan can just revive himself, cant he?!
    duuuuh.

    That's what I've been wondering. The one in his office may have been disabled (wherever it was) but what about all the other ones?

    Depends on the logic behind the vita chambers: how would they work in, for example, a movie?

    I suppose you could provide a believable resolution to the problem by having the character make his way to the vita chamber after being mortally wounded, and then the vita chamber somehow rapidly rebuilds his cells. In fact that's probably how they would do that, considering plasmids rewrite your genetic code in a very short period of time.

    So, I can assume Jack, who is spliced up like mad, can get wounded and make his way to a vita chamber, where his DNA checks out.

    Ryan on the other hand, wasn't spliced up, and gets beaten to death before your eyes, so clearly he doesn't have the strength and abilities Jack has.

    How would his body "move" to the vita chamber to revive? How do WE get to the vita chamber to revive? I believe he could come back with the vita chamber, I for one turned it on. Just because I could.

    Good point Rapture.Noir, but..

    Andrew Ryan, the man who invented plasmids and gene tonics himself, was bound to at least use one or more plasmid/gene tonic.

    One plasmid does not just instantly splice you, am I right?

    Maybe it's related to range? Maybe only one can work at a time. As soon as you pass one the previous one deactivates.

    No, remember, Fontaine built it up, then Ryan realized Fontaine was becoming a big player, and then he stepped in.

    Also, according to the Bioshock Wiki, the Vita Chamber in Ryan's office was shut off, and can be reactivated by the player. Clearly Ryan made the choice not to be healed, to prove his point about Jack's inhumanity (ie. his lack of free will).

    you go to the closest vita chamber when u respawn so when ryan couldnt go to the closest one because part of the plot is that he realizes jack is his son and wants to teach him a lesson with his own life he disables the vita chamber in his office not wanting to be revived come on guys pay a****intention he is dead and gone forever

    The opening of the sequel....

    A new Big Daddy is introduced he stomps up to Andrew's mortally wounded body lets out a grunt as he grabs him by the foot and slowly drags him off screen.

    Cuts to a seemingly lifeless body of Andrew Ryan being hurled several feet and landing inches away from a vita chamber...he begins to rise as he utters "A Slave Obeys" que opening credits.

    He's right. This thread has been pwnt by the hard, cold wrench known as logic.

    Much like Andrew Ryan was pwnt with his own golf club, actually. How artistic.

    I don't think anyone's intentions were to hurt your feelings.

    Its kinda like whacking a splicer corpse, after you've already burned and electrecuted it. You don't mean anything by it, its just fun.

    Here on the internet, we communicate with text across a screen.

    Some people hear a voice in their head read as their eyes pass over the characters. However, that voice in their head usually doesn't use the same tone as you would have intended.

    Hence, sarcasm, or at least, effective sarcasm doesn't exist on messageboards...

    Ryan shut off the Vita Chambers in his office. The chambers must have some kind of range which makes sense. If you think about it, if you die in let say Hephaestus (sp?) you dont spawn back in Arcadia right?

    Right. You spawn back to the one you previously went by. So if you die in Hephaestus, (btw, sp. was ok. ) and the last one you walked by was in Mecial pavilion, you'll go back to Medical Pavilion. Get what I'm saying?

    Its a common mistake. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has made mistakes on your lack of clarity.

    Bruce Willis says it in Pulp Fiction:
    Fabienne: Whose motorcycle is this?
    Butch: It's a chopper, baby.
    Fabienne: Whose chopper is this?
    Butch: It's Zed's.
    Fabienne: Who's Zed?
    Butch: Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.

    Haven't seen Snatch but I HAVE seen Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, which I think are sort of similar. If I'm correct, Snatch was released just before Ritchie's marriage to Madonna and the decline in his movies. From what I've heard it's a great movie, so I guess it would be his last great film.

    what if it was not really andrew ryan? but a spliced up double. There are a 100 ways to resolve this and i hope 2k does. Bioshock could be a bigger franchise than half-life

    You might like it, but other people don't like seeing kids in here talking crap back and forth ok. It's childish and VERY stupid and it's NOT funny in ANY way.
    Fill the forums with tertosterone? Are you f***ing serious?! What you're doing, is filling up the forums with stupid s**t that is pissing everyone else off. I don't want to be mean, but seriously dude, cut the damn crap! Nuff said.

    Thank you very much Coffee. My name is MARI so please refrain from calling me anything other than that. I don't like being called a WOMAN better yet an ANGRY woman. That's all I'm gonna say, anything else might trigger something REALLY bad and I don't feel like going there.
