Poll: Bioshock or Mass Effect?

[SplattererRoss]

Definitely Mass Effect. I haven't played Bioshock past the first elevator (Biosphere I think it's called). It seemed like it would be pitch-black the whole game so I stopped. I did get two playthroughs out of Mass Effect though. They both have great stories if you are looking for story in a game.

My vote goes for Bioshock, but only if you're literature-minded like I am. I was able to get so much out of Bioshock's story that I found myself enjoying it more thinking and discussing about it later than really playing. If you're into that sort of thing, go for Bioshock. It's about as deep as the ocean it's set in.

But if it's just the game that you're looking for, I'd say Mass Effect.

I honestly love both games so much I cant pick a favorite

Um, yeah. B.I.O.S.H.O.C.K. 'Cause no offense to Mass Effect, it's a well written game with everything but combat being perfect. Compared to combat Bioshock trumps ME magnificently. And Bioshock's story is good enough that if you wanted to get ME for its story but got Bioshock instead you're still not missing out on a really good narrative game.

You do realize that you could be playing an awesome game right now instead of polling randoms on an internet forum which awesome game is better (today).

Well actually no, I cant. I'm away from my gaming rig for a few days so I wont be able to play either for a while.

It really depends on what type of game you want. If you want more of an RPG go with Mass Effect. If you want more of a shooter go with Bioshock. I personally like Bioshock because it has the progression of an RPG without you having to worry about managing anything. I hate menus=P
