* Anytime you manage to kill a Big Daddy with one well-executed plan in one fell swoop definitely counts, considering the scarcity of ammo and the sheer toughness of the guys.

Is it really that awesome if, out of universe, listening to the voice on the radio is literally the only way to continue the game? It\'s pure \"Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself.\"


* The confrontation with Andrew Ryan is, in a very meta way, one for the makers of the game. On one level, the PlayerCharacter is confronted with the truth that [[spoiler: they are in no way in control of their actions, but are being made to do whatever Fontaine/Atlas tells them to, due to three simple words.]] But on the other hand, it is a TakeThat directly to the player himself, as he has, up to that point, [[spoiler: followed every single instruction given, without questioning whether or not they had a choice... without realizing that the PlayerCharacter literally didn't have a choice. The cynic might have been asking, "Why am I doing all this crap for this total stranger called Atlas?" the third time a Big Daddy nails them to the wall, but answered it with "Well, it's the game." Nope. You had to do it.]]

* The EstablishingCharacterMoment for Big Daddies. A Little Sister screaming for help when attacked by a Splicer prompts her respective Big Daddy to charge in. The Splicer tries shooting it with a revolver, but the bullets bounce off its suit, and when he tries to run away it [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill smacks him into a wall, uses its drill to punch a hole in him when he gets back up, then grabs him by the head and repeatedly slams him against the floor,]] and actually sends him through a window made of bullet proof glass.
* Hypnotize a Big Daddy. Then find another Big Daddy and aggravate him. Watch from a safe distance as the two behemoths battle it out, completely oblivious to you. It's like a big metal wrestling match and it is ''awesome''.

* Getting the [[EleventhHourSuperpower Summon Eleanor Plasmid]]. The weak, frail girl you've been trying to save throughout most of the game is now a Big Sister who can rip enemies to shreds, taunting them the whole time.
** Even better, as far as the splicers are concerned, this is their ''Messiah'' personally killing them while mocking their religion.
** Anything Eleanor says while fighting as a Big Sister.
--->"Stay away from my father!"\\
"This one died alone and afraid! Stand in our way, and you'll get the same!"\\
"Just try to stop me protecting my sisters. Please, try!"
** Eleanor uses telekinesis, yanking a splicer across the room ''onto her needle''! What does she say?
--->"I am '''not''' your bloody ''Messiah!''"
* Learning the 'Drill Charge' technique. Remember the BullfightBoss that the Bouncer Big Daddies were in the first game? Well, you are now the bull.
* The Handyman tonic. Suddenly your hacked security bots turn into true bros who lay their very lives on the line for you.
* The evil ending. Ruling the goddamn world together as father and daughter? Shit yeah! Daughter, I am not disappoint. (Not to be confused with the pure evil ending where Eleanor takes Delta's ADAM against his will.)
* Porter's response to Lamb's invitation into the Family. He may not have known what Lamb was up to, but damn if it doesn't feel good after what she did.
-->'''Porter:''' Dear Doctor Lamb, I received the invitation to your little social club today. In return, I'd like to make you a wager: I wager you need Rapture Central Computing just a little bit more than I need your half-baked metaphysical mumbo-jumbo. I deal in science, not...whatever it is you're up to! You keep out of Minerva's Den and I'll keep this city's automation from grinding to a complete and sudden halt. Sound fair?
** Even better, Lamb's first followers were people with weak wills and those with past traumas, like having lost people close to them. Porter is essentialy a prime candidate for her therapy, but rejects her easy way of getting over it.
* "Meltzer's Choice", in its own sad way. [[spoiler:Mark Meltzer has been captured by Lamb, and she starts giving her usual "ask yourself" spiel to convince him to either be turned into a Big Daddy or be executed. His response?]]
-->'''Meltzer:''' [[spoiler:*dark laugh* ...I wasn't the first to find Rapture, you crazy bitch. And I won't be the last. You do ... whatever you want to me... as long as I'm with Cindy... I'm ... I'm a happy man.]]
* The flooding of Siren Alley. There's nothing quite as exciting as outrunning an entire flood as pipes burst around you and the place practically falls apart. Probably one of the best moments of ''2''.
** Not to mention seeing everyone and everything in that [[NightmareFuel horrifying]] dump be reclaimed by the sea. [[ScrappyLevel Siren Alley, you will not be missed.]]
* The "semi-good" ending. [[spoiler:Like in the pure-good ending, Eleanor spares Sofia. ''Unlike'' the pure-good ending, however, Eleanor makes it clear that she's not saving her out of the kindness of her heart, but so Sofia can [[CruelMercy live to see the empire and ideology she built from the deaths of countless innocents irrevocably destroyed and her own daughter rejecting her and her philosophy]]. [[GoodIsNotNice Just like Daddy would've wanted]].]]
* [[spoiler:Eleanor Lamb gets one when you learn the full scope of the intricate plan she set up behind her [[EvilMatriarch mother's]] back to resurrect the years-dead Subject Delta (you) and lead him/you to her. And of course, she gets a minor one every time you use the above-mentioned Summon Eleanor Plasmid to call her to the field and watch her wreak utter havoc against your now-very-outmatched enemies. Lastly, in [[MultipleEndings some of the endings]], watching her, in the final cutscene, slay her mother.]]
* In the game's intro, Subject Delta coming to Eleanor's rescue - entering the fray by leaping off a balcony and ''crushing someone'' as he lands, and then proceeding to beat the crap out of the others. [[OhCrap At least until the 'Hypnotize Big Daddy' plasmid is used...]]

*** TheReveal was even more awesome for this troper: at the very beginning of the game, he actually noticed how odd it was when Atlas said [[spoiler: "Would you kindly?"]] while asking him to pick up the radio. We're in some kind of underwater hell and you're wasting time being polite?

** Or save enough Little Sisters to get the Hypnotize Big Daddy plasmid, use it on one Daddy, then find a second with a Little Sister, shoot the Sister's BD with one bullet, and watch the chaos.
[[AC:Bioshock 2]]
* Getting the Summon Eleanor Plasmid. The weak, frail girl you've been trying to save throughout most of the game is now a Big Sister who can rip enemies to shreds, taunting them the whole time.
** Even better, as far as the splicers are concerned, this is their ''Messiah'' personally killing them while mocking their religion.
** One plasmid, six words: [[spoiler:Bring Your Daughter to Work Day]].
* Anything Eleanor says while fighting as a Big Sister.
-->"Stay away from my father!"
-->"This one died alone and afraid! Stand in our way, and you'll get the same!"
-->"Just try to stop me protecting my sisters. Please, try!"
** My favorite? Eleanor uses telekinesis, yanking a splicer across the room ''onto her needle''! What does she say?
-->"I am '''not''' your bloody ''Messiah!''"
* In BioShock 2, when you learn the 'Drill Charge' technique. Remember the BullfightBoss that the Bouncer Big Daddies were in the first game? Well, you are now the bull. And it is EPIC. For @/UltraSonic007, it was the moment where you realized that you ''are'' a Big Daddy, and you are going to break people with a ''vengeance.''
* The Handyman tonic. Suddenly your hacked security bots turn into true bros who lay their very lives on the line for you. It made this troper upgrade to Security Command 3 and put on Deadly and Hardy Machines ASAP.
* The evil ending. Ruling the goddamn world together as father and daughter? Shit yeah! Daughter, I am not disappoint. (Not to be confused with the pure evil ending where Eleanor takes Delta's ADAM against his will.)
* Porter's response to Lamb's invitation into the Family. He may not have known what Lamb was up to, but damn if it doesn't feel good after what she did.
-->'''Porter:''' Dear Doctor Lamb, I received the invitation to your little social club today. In return, I'd like to make you a wager: I wager you need Rapture Central Computing just a little bit more than I need your half-baked metaphysical mumbo-jumbo. I deal in science, not...whatever it is you're up to! You keep out of Minerva's Den and I'll keep this city's automation from grinding to a complete and sudden halt. Sound fair?
** Even better, Lamb's first followers were people with weak wills and those with past traumas, like having lost people close to them. Porter is essentialy a prime candidate for her therapy, but rejects her easy way of getting over it.
* "Meltzer's Choice", in its own sad way. [[spoiler:Mark Meltzer has been captured by Lamb, and she starts giving her usual "ask yourself" spiel to convince him to either be turned into a Big Daddy or be executed. His response?]]
-->'''MELTZER:''' [[spoiler:*dark laugh* ...I wasn't the first to find Rapture, you crazy bitch. And I won't be the last. You do ... whatever you want to me... as long as I'm with Cindy... I'm ... I'm a happy man.]]
* The flooding of Siren Alley. There's nothing quite as exciting as outrunning an entire flood as pipes burst around you and the place practically falls apart. Probably one of the best moments of ''2''.
* The "semi-good" ending. [[spoiler:Like in the pure-good ending, Eleanor spares Sofia. ''Unlike'' the pure-good ending, however, Eleanor makes it clear that she's not saving her out of the kindness of her heart, but so Sofia can [[CruelMercy live to see the empire and ideology she built from the deaths of countless innocents irrevocably destroyed and her own daughter rejecting her and her philosophy]]. [[GoodIsNotNice Just like Daddy would've wanted]].]]
* [[spoiler:Eleanor Lamb gets one when you learn the full scope of the intricate plan she set up behind her [[EvilMatriarch mother's]] back to resurrect the years-dead Subject Delta (you) and lead him/you to her. And of course, she gets a minor one every time you use the above-mentioned Summon Eleanor Plasmid to call her to the field and watch her wreak utter havoc against your now-very-outmatched enemies. Lastly, in [[MultipleEndings some of the endings]], watching her, in the final cutscene, slay her mother.]]
* In the game's intro, Subject Delta coming to Eleanor's rescue - entering the fray by leaping off a balcony and ''crushing someone'' as he lands, and then proceeding to beat the crap out of the others. [[OhCrap At least until the]] [[ItGotWorse 'Hypnotize Big Daddy' plasmid is used...]]
