Bioshock 2 ending discusion

[Ken_J]

I harvested every Little Sister, so I got a shitty ending. Eleanor harvests the remaining Little Sisters, reaches the surface with Delta, kills Sophia Lamb and then kills Delta (or at least that's how I interpreted it).

Also, just so everyone's clear on the possible endings:

Wait a minute...are you telling me that I got the Good/spared no lives ending just because I killed Gil Alexander? I rescued every Little Sister and Spared every NPC except Gil Alexander and I got the Sofia Lamb dies ending? I think this chart is off.

I am glad she died though...collectivist *****. >

Hm, maybe it is...but it's IGN, what do you expect?

And I agree, Sofia Lamb was a *****, I was really happy she died. I agree with Andrew Ryan's philosphy a lot more. I was actually disappointed when he died in the first game.

It's too bad no character in Bio 2 could match that of Andrew Ryan, or possibly any game IMO.

You were disappointed when he died because you bludgeon him to death with a putter.

Doesn't Gil Alexander die anyway when you take his genetic key? Im sure i heard his recording say that taking his genetic key will deliver a large electric shock that will kill him...

I got the best ending by saving everyone besides Alex, because he wanted to die. Sofia lived.

WTF? I did the same exact thing!

In my ending Sofia Lamb drowns in the submarine thingy as Elanor comforts her, then Eleanor drains my ADAM and "Kills" me. How did we do the same thing and get different endings?

Did sofia get an air thingy to breath, or did she die? The reason Elenore killed you beacuse you were going to die anyway and this way she would be able to take your memories into herself, and in a way, you would still be alive. She did it becauces she need Delta and didn't want to be alone. In the bad endings she does it for power.

Okay, I was mistaken she did get the breathy thingamadoodle. Damn it! I wanted her to die. Why wasn't she standing on the sub though?

NO NO NO.

He said that you can now give him an electric shock after taking the key

This is interesting, as I rescued every little sister and spared every person except gil alexander, but I got the angelic ending where lamb lives and I die. But maybe that's because I listened to the audio recording telling me that that was his last sane wish.
ENIWAY
Bioshock 2 is one of the best games to pass through my greasy mitts, and I played it as such. Sure, it played a bit like Bio 1 at first, but the dual wielding and big sister fights and other new features (too many to list here) took the game to a whole new level.

 

[Hiphophippo]

I got the best ending myself too. The last couple hours of that game really pushed it over the original in my opinion. I loved the personal aspect the story took on this time around.

 

[im jt]

i thount all of the four were to vage it shoukd have been discrbed deeper sad face

 

[Legion]

I got the good ending the first play-through as I saved all the Sisters and only killed Gill (he asked me to damnit!). The second time I saved everyone as I wanted the Savior achievement and despite Gills' request you have to save him for it.

I shall youtube the other endings.

 

[sephiroth1991]

It was a sad ending, just wish we got to see what he looked like under there

 

[Terrorist_school_drop-out]

Well acording to the chart I got a neutral ending but I chose death(given the context that's actually a neutral-bad ending, right?). The one thing that baffels me is why the fuck is killing Gil Alexander considered a bad thing, I mean killing someone who requested death, and a man who has become a monster and deserves to die no less? But I should be gratefull, I wouldn't save Sofia Lamb in a million years(fuck that colectivist/comunist *****). Also I saved most of the little sisters, but I harvested one out of every 3 I saved, so I was amased to find out I'm a bad guy, esspecially considering that in the first Bioshock it matterd what you did MOSTLY.
But really I don't regret giving my life and teaching Elenor that she matter most, I actually feel like I created a famale Andrew Ryan, especially considering she was going on about "The Self" and stuff at the end.

 

[SeanthePsycho]

[spoiler/]Okay, the one complaint about the ending I have is I got the okay ending because I rescued all th elittle sisters and let Grace and the reporter guy lived. I want to know why killing Alexander was a bad thing...he said "I want to die. Don't listen to me, kill me." I guess euthanasia is considered a bad guy aspect even if the person begs for death and are nothing more than a mass of a man inside an ADAM tank.[/spoiler]

 

[Thediscoducky]

Oh boy, where to start. Well, I spared the first two lives, just because I couldn't stand Gil's voice.
Then, I harvested all of the little sisters, except for Mark Meltzer's little kid. I felt bad for the dude.
Then, at the end I pressed the SACRIFICE MYSELF even though I have no idea what that means. So,yeah. Can't really say what ending that was.

 

[hazabaza1]

Got the same ending as you. not as good as the first Bioshock's good ending, but still nice.

Pity, however, as I wanted to drill Sophia's face in, but, alas.

Me too.

'Drill, please.'

Here's a question:

Who DIDN'T Kill Alex the Great?

 

[bookboy]

Well acording to the chart I got a neutral ending but I chose death(given the context that's actually a neutral-bad ending, right?). The one thing that baffels me is why the fuck is killing Gil Alexander considered a bad thing.

it's the old euthanasia debate, the sane Gil asked for death, but the Gil that you actually kill (the recently defenseless one, thanks to you) does not wish to be killed. the Idea is that he is suffering horribly and causing others to suffer as well, but you are still essentially murdering a defenceless human, regardless of his mental state, therefore, some people would consider this an evil act, while others would consider it an act of mercy.


OT: I sought out and saved every little sister, and allowed Grace and Stanley to live. (I euthanised Gil) because I originally intended rescue some and harvest some, but then found out that they would leave you rewards for saving the little sisters, and Holloway would send you supplies in siren alley.

Well I guess it's politicly incorect for some people, some very thick people who think that keeping an insane man alive and IN POWER TO HURT OTHERS is a good idea.
But yeah... I knew that at the end, that 2K is against euthenasia......meh, supid goody-to-shoes. "Turns towards wheel-o-babies".

 

[Flamezdudes]

I got the ending where:

Spoiler

She tells me about survival etc and you go into her eyes and she looks in the water and a body floats up. I'm not sure if Lamb survived and i just saw her in the tank moving around.
I saved pretty much every sister except 2 which i harvested. I spared the first two people but killed Alex, i chose to live at the end.
