Gonna have to agree, the hospital is pretty creepy. Introduces what people were using the plasmids for perfectly (everyone trying to look like a model).The Wykydtron said:

Not a fan of fort frolic?
Yeah Fort Frolic was pretty good, I just never get past the Fisheries whenever I go for a new playthrough. The guy in FF was just a crazy guy doing crazy art stuff with some cool locations. The doctor in Medical was just an ordinary guy you get to see driven crazy by Plasmids step by step through audio logs. The guy in FF was crazy from the get go and I like going through the development of crazy more.daveman247 said:

Kinda puts his objectivist philosophy into perspective eh?
I think mine might be a bit of an oddball, considering it's not guaranteed for every playthrough, but there's a point right after drinking the first dose of Lot 192 and your plasmids are going haywire, where I found myself in a room full of Nitro Splicers and an RPG turret...and the game just happened to shuffle me to the telekinesis plasmid. It's spontaneous moments like that, giving me a chance to run around happily slinging rockets from the turret at the feet of the Splicers, that really made the open-ended nature of Bioshock work.
In Infinite, I honestly think one of my favorite moments was that first encounter with a Fireman. Playing on hard mode and realizing that not all of the enemies are going to be as fragile as the starting police guys was immensely satisfying, and the presence of actual "boss" enemies made me feel confident that the developers still had their heads screwed on the right way.

I'm going to that one guy who was dissatisfied with Infinite. My favorite parts were realizing the
with that twilight zone kind of music that tells you something is going on. Also that last Boy of Silence. I wasn't silent, I'll tell ya what. Scared my dachshund off the bed while crazily searching for the pause button. Then I laughed for a full minute.
Luteces were recurring,
Bioshock
- First time I fought a Big Daddy. "Okay, he's going to be tough, but he's also going to be slow, all I need to do is dodge his attacks and whittle away his health." Then he charged across the room at 30 mph and knocked me to the ground. I did NOT expect him to be that fast and it was the first (and as far as I can remember the ONLY) game I played where my player could actually be knocked down. It was so unexpected that I actually lost my bearings in the room. Yeah, that was not a comfortable fight.
- To this day, Would You Kindly stands as my favorite twist EVER. It goes right past the character and talks directly to YOU. It just, it STILL blows me away.
Bioshock 2
- When Sophia smothers Eleanor. When the door opened and Delta fell in I was thinking "Please, please, PLEASE reach her!" I had been playing long enough and I thought I was at the end and that this rather dark part was due to the bad decisions I made. But then Delta wakes up and I could breath a big sigh of relief. Which actually leads me to my next part...
- When you play as a Little Sister. No particular reason, I just like it. Especially when you snap out of Little Sister sight and you see Rapture in it's usual decrepit state. It was really... weird.
Oh hey, 1002 post.
I didn't even notice when I broke 1000.
YAY.

- When you break Elizabeth out of the tower. The ensuing Skyline sequence is so heart-poundingly intense, it gets me every time.
- When Elizabeth first sees you get violent and runs away. It was the first time I've see a character really have this emotional reaction to regular in-game violence and when I caught up with her, I just wanted to apologize. A LOT.
- I was fighting a Fireman and a Handyman jumped PERFECTLY between him and me and backhanded me. It was so perfect it almost felt scripted.
- I jumped on a Skyline to get out of a hasty firefight and I take a turn to see this giant zeppelin making an entrance. The angle I was at and the speed I was moving at made it feel SO cinematic.
- Will The Circle Be Unbroken song in the bar in Shantytown. I gotta get you to New York, The entire city is trying to kill us when it's not killing itself, and right now we're in the slums of the sky, ironic as that may be. But right now, at this very moment, none of that matters, here's a guitar, let's take what I would call the only real BREAK they get in the entire game.
- The Boys OF Silence jump-scare. Yeah, to everybody who says jump-scares are weak, I direct you to THAT MOMENT.
- The Rapture tear was SO SHOCKING to me. When Elizabeth opened up that tear and I saw the water I was like "Wait, we're not..." then I looked around
"HOLY SHIT, WE ARE"
Seriously, the idea that we were going to see Rapture in the game could not have been farther from my mind at that point in the game.

In the first Bioshock game, pretty much what most people have said. Also, all of Fort Frolic.
I haven't played the second game.
In Infinite, I love the ending, but I find myself enjoying the little moments the most. One of my favorites is, while an easter egg, the scene that happens when...
I also rather like the opening scene in Infinite.
Oh, and of course...

...you find the guitar in the bar basement in Shanty Town.

Ascension... Ascension...
Five-thousand feet...
Ten-thousand feet...
Fifteen-thousand Feet...
Hallelujah.
Ascension... Ascension...
Five-thousand feet...

Fifteen-thousand Feet...
Hallelujah.
Oh, and of course...
... when you pop up in Rapture towards the end of the game.
