Poll: Poll: BioWare or Bethesda?

[mattttherman3]

I don't really need to vote to know the results on this one. Bioware. Why, because for every game breaking bug in a Bioware game, you will find like 20 in a Bethesda game, you know how many times Fallout 3 and NV froze or crashed on me? More than I can coun't. Mass Effect 1 and 2? Never.

I'll also give out a few shity games by both developpers

Bethesda: Rogue Warrior, Wet, etc

Bioware:

Fair enough for the fallout 3 bugs but new vegas, rogue warrior and wet weren't made by bethesda just published.

OT: Bioware for introducing me to rpgs with neverwinter nights 1 when it came out.

THATS LIKE ASKING WHICH CHILD I LOVE MORE!!

You sir, are evil. I could never choose between the two!

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

Can't I choose both???

 

[Syndicate Savage]

Love both, I'm gonna lean a bit more towards Bethesda though, I love the Elder Scrolls series and can't wait for Skyrim.

 

[Another]

When I can't play a game or find it to be fun without being drowned in mods, I can't give any credit to the developers.

Therefore Bioware gets my vote. Thank you for putting games out that are actually polished and don't use the gamebryo engine.

 

[WorldCritic]

KOTOR vs. Fallout 3 huh? KOTOR definitely, still love you Fallout 3.

 

[BlackHat]

Bethesda need to stop making games with bugs in them I loved oblivion but I've gone through 3 disks and each have their own flipping bugs just for example

the first oblivion disk i got there is an old woman voice which crashed my game but she would follow you around trying to give you a quest in the imperial city it got so bad i eventually had the bright spark of killing her, which than crashed the game.

 

[=HCFS=Discoman]

I can't choose-both make great games that are a lot of fun.
both have games of exceptional fun to play. although bethesda (well, the new fallout games mainly) have a bit of a bug issue. bioware does great writing mostly-the gameplay can get a little boring.plus, the story usually has much greater depth. and what bioware game doesn't have a romance sub-plot?
bethesda has a pretty good story usually, not as great as bioware, but the combat is usually much better. story isn't as deep, but the games are immersive. to the point of what day IS it?

 

[andersgeek]

Obsidian.

Until Jade Empire, I would have chosen BioWare without a thought, but ever since... no, sorry.

 

[bob-2000]

I love Fallout 3 but BioWare gets my vote without doubt. I mean... Mass Effect, Dragon Age AND KoTOR!!!!

 

[Thedayrecker]

It's funny. I got Dragon Age: Origins (Bioware) and Fallout: New Vegas (Bethesda) for Christmas. I've been playing Fallout more, but overall I'm have to say I prefer Bioware.

Their games just have better stories (well... maybe the stories are a tie, but Bioware tells the story better), and their characters are well-developed.

I mean if I were to go on an epic quest, I'd rather have HK-47, than random Fallout Companion (except maybe Fawkes).

 

[Chimichanga]

The folks at Bethesda are incompetent. I like their open-world style games, but I can't stand the shitty combat, horrible dialog, bad writing and crap-tastic quality that they are unfortunately filled with.

Bioware works on a smaller scale in terms of worlds, but they at least seem to know what they're doing most of the time.

That, and less glitches and shitty programming.

 

[Super Toast]

The poll so nice they named it twice!

OT: BioWare.

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Bioware.


Because Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn still remains the best RPG I've ever played in every single way.

 

[AmayaOnnaOtaku]

Bioware: I love the NPCs and the way of story telling

 

[mentalkitty789]

This is what I have to say. They are both better than the other, but at different things.
If you want to be thrown into a huge world and roll around in it. Then play a Bethesda game.
If you want to be taken on an epic ride with great characters, interesting plot, and probably one sex scene. Then play a Bioware game.
I would rather play a Bioware game because, in my opinion, what good is a giant world if it feels empty?! Also New Vegas pissed me off. While not made by Bethesda the 'open world' wasn't so open because when even I went off the beaten path mutant wasps would fuck me up. Still the endings of New Vegas were more satisfying than Fallout 3.
In short both are good but at different things. I would say Bioware is better though.

 

[Lukeman1884]

I say Bethesda, mostly because I love open-world immersion, which Bethesda does so well.

 

[Stu1701]

Bioware because I absolutely love Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and KOTOR. Plus I'm still holding a grudge against Bethesda for ruining Star Trek Legacy.
