Um, yeah. Skyrim.
Is TES perfect? Hell, no. I have a laundry list of things that have been wrong with Morrowind and Oblivion (and Daggerfall and Arena, but they're so old no one cares anymore). They do, however, pull off the open-world fantasy RPG better than anyone, IMO.
Pretty much this. I'm one millimeter off from being a TES fanboy, but even I admit that the games are pretty lacking in story and writing. It's all about what you came for. You don't buy a TES game for the story, you buy it for the chance to go anywhere, do anything, and be anybody. The game allows the player to actually role-play, something that's becoming increasingly rare.The_ModeRazor said:

Skyrim. No contest. not even close to a contest.
Can shields even be equipped to the main hand? either way: no. I'm gonna be a bow wielding assassin, using dual daggers in melee, and dual lightning spells when I wanna throw lightning.The Mehster said:
Disagreed with the first statement. Bioshock had a pretty excellent story for todays standards (albeit not incredible in general), but some might not have enjoyed it anyway. I would understand why.The_ModeRazor said:
The bold part of the second statement in your post, I just can't understand. Bioshock 2 had by all means an absolutely atrocious story. The characters and plot were so bad, I simply cannot play through it again, ever. It was one of the things that makes Bioshock 2 unable to compare to good games. Also, the ending was pretty bad, due to it using an incredibly stupid formula to figure out which ending to show you. It took away control at the worst possible moment, something that should not have happened in Bioshock 2's case.
This is the first time I've ever seen someone prefer Bioshock 2's story over the first and I've visited various Bioshock forums. Nothing wrong with having a different opinion, of course and neither of us are right or wrong, but I'm surprised nonetheless.
You should see how much he eats already! It's unbelievable! He will eat half a loaf of bread for lunch, and four hot cross buns for breakfast, with butter, AND STILL HUNGRY! My word, I guess being the catalyst for Digivolution takes it out of you, and thinking of something to type about things you don't always understand, but Calumon, you are no bigger than my desk lamp!AvsJoe said:

Bioshock Infinite. No contest. Want it WAAAAAY more than Skyrim.
You could say I want it... INFINITELY more. *rimshot*

I think Bioshock Infinite may be the better game but Skyrim will last you longer (assuming you enjoy it).
If you have a PC I'd say go for Skyrim. Mods coupled with the already present length it will have make the game last. Really, really last.
If not or if longevity isn't your thing, I'd say Infinite. It's looking to be a great improvement on the original (second is not made by the same hard team, it was pretty much a straight cash cow, unlike this) in all facets and should have some fantastic aesthetics to it.
But it's a tight one for me, really is. These are two games I'm getting if I have to eat potatoes for a few months.

I say skyrim, you'll get way more bang for your buck. Thats not to say Bioshock wont be any good. It just wont have as many things to do in the game. Also the releases are about a year apart, so maybe you could get some more cash by then.
I'm really excited for both, so I'll have to resort to an utterly arbitrary method of deciding.
The Arachnid Evaluation: Does the game contain a number of spiders greater than one? If so, are any of these spiders larger than a human arm?
SKYRIM: Yes, and yes.
BIOSHOCK: TBC, but it's set several miles above the surface of the planet, so I shall tentatively say No.
Bioshock it is!

Wait until their reviewed, and pick the better one. If they are both reviewed well, pick Skyrim because it will mostly be much much longer, but only if it seems (to you) to be equal or better than Infinite. If by chance Skyrim turns out to be terrible or not all that good (to you), then get Infinite.The Heavy Metal Nerd said:
Well, since Skyrim comes out in November and Bioshock only has a release date of Q2 2012, there's not much to compare, But, I guess I'll say neither. Sonic Generations for me all the way. With some Skyward Sword and Arkham City in there too. So, I guess I'll be too busy to deal with those games.
