Mass effect 2 vs Bioshock 2!

which one?

though i played both, and liked bioshock more, i am definetly leaning towards mass effect

mass effect 1 wasn't too good, but mass effect 2 seems like a really nice deus ex style cyberpunk

on the other hand, the big daddy thing in bioshock 2 seems really lame

it seems too much like an action game now

Mass Effect 2!

i leaning toward mass effect 2 but will wait till there both out and have played them

while i prefer bioshock visuals over mass effect visuals. RPG is my fav gameplay mechanics than FPS. so, my vote goes to Mass effect 2

wow.

looks like bioshock 2 is bad at marketing

bioshock 2 because suspense is what most of the gamers want.

I guess I'm moving on towards Bioshock, because this horror and suspense is my thing. However I also like RPG's, so I guess I'll have to wait till I get my hands on both of them :D

Based on the originals: Bioshock.

I enjoyed the original Mass Effect so much, so I am going with Mass Effect 2.

I'll go ahead and buy both.

bioshock was, and will be, a shooter. A couple vending machines and the ability to swap out weapons doesnt make it otherwise

mass effect is a party-based action RPG

so there really is no comparison. I prefer Mass Effect; Bioshock was dull, predictable, and lacked excitement.

wow.

What happens is this - Sites like Gamespot decide which games they want to push - and that's all anyone hears about for months. Look at the character profiles, interviews, etc.

They did the same thing with Dragon AGE - it was on the front page for SIX MONTHS. Unfortunately this fools a lot of people, many of whom are now finding out that DA is just a mediocre game, and they should have spent their money on something else.

I'm pretty sure I'm buying Bioshock 2, but right now the characters in ME2 are so unlikable that it doesn't look like I'll be picking it up.

Both games look absolutely fantastic. I'm especially excited for Mass Effect 2 considering the series is a 3-part trilogy where your actions from the previous game in the series affects the stories in the sequels. Although Bioshock 2 has such a great atmosphere it's hard to imagine not getting this game as well.

its not the marketing sites

bioshock really does have bad marketing

all their videos are really only gameplay videos with big daddy's shooting people

while mass effects promotional videos are kinda story videos and much more interesting

didnt like the first mass effect. but maybe the second will be good. but it has to step up a good bit.

I will probably enjoy ME 2 more since it is a bioware rpg and bioshock is just a horror survival fps. I will definitely enjoy both but I've been hyping ME 2 especially after Dragon Age.

I think i'll like ME2 better than Bioshock 2, simply because i'm a RPG fan and loved ME1. But i'm getting them both so...it's not an issue for me.

Bioshock was great, but nothing ever moved me to visit game forums to talk about it. I replayed the game once. It's a shooter, but I've played better. Vending machines, different weapons and abilities--they weren't very new to me anyway. The environments were very atmospheric, but still not creepy enough for my tastes.

Mass Effect's background story was...really, REALLY cool IMO (though I had my fair share of dreams of Rapture). It felt more epic. The RPG elements and combat were fitted in to be satisfying for me, to say the least. Still, in some way, both games' combat/shooter mechanics were a bit off and strange.

If I had only one choice I'd go for ME2. It looks like there will be more content, and it's generally a more expansive game. But I'm getting both :D

Mass Effect 2 by far!

...

... although I am still looking forward to Bioshock 2.

If I had to choose I would Mass Efefct 2. The way the story is going and just being a Big Daddy in Bioshock 2 I worry that it will not be as good as the first game. Mass Effect 2 seemed to have gotten better with the exception of the colling rods for the guns.

Bioshock was a letdown after SS2. They stripped all the RPG elements out of it. I don't know how they can call it a RPG/FPS. Although the game itself wasn't bad. It was decent. But it didn't have any depth.

I'm kind of surprised so many are voting for Mass Effect. As I've noticed alot of PC gamers didn't particularly care for the first. The story sure wasn't Asimov. But it was entertaining to me. I would say the last level was one of my favorite last levels in any game ever.

Mass Effect 2 for me.

Im one of the few who didnt really enjoy bioshock that much, but i really liked mass effect. So im going for mass effect 2Iantheone

I hear ya, I was incredibly unimpressed with Bioshock. The style, story, and levels were amazing; but the combat was so excruiciatingly boring, it just turned me off.

Mass Effect on the other hand, IMO, one of the best RPG/FPS hybrids I've ever had the luck of getting my hands on. I'm really excited for ME2.

I'll have to go with Mass Effect 2, it just looks like more of a deeper experience. And I enjoyed ME1 quite a bit. It was pretty cool being the head dude in charge and having your own space craft to travel through the galaxy (they could've built upon that feature more imo, hopefully ME2 will).

Mass Effect 2,all the way.

Don't get me wrong,Bioshock is a great game but when I heard that in Bioshock 2 you were going to play as a big daddy,I lost interest.

I'd say Mass Effect 2. Though I was, and still am, in love with Bioshock, I find it hard to imagine how 2k Marin (which lacks a Ken Levine) can repeat the (forgive me for using this word) epic-ness Bioshock had, especially with its story. It's not common to find a game that could place true emotions of fear, loneliness and shock, let alone repeat it in a sequel. Gameplay-wise, Bioshock 2 will probably be an improvement to Bioshock when it comes to the use of Plasmids and guns. Story-wise, it will be hard to recreate or even exceed the impact given by Bioshock.

As for Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect did not really put up a massive amount of impact to its players and so the only pressure ME2 will have will be on how it can create a good story as ME1 and how it will improve the too-simple gameplay of ME1.

Im thinking bioshock 2 , im more into shooters and multiplayer, i also like like rpgs ME1 was great and ME2 looks also great but i still think Fps better so bioshock 2
