Two completely different series, but I like Dead Space better. I didn't get into Bioshock and had to force myself to finish it... I almost NEVER have to do that with a game. Pacing was bad and stuff, gameplay ceased to be very much fun. Dead Space games remain fun throughout thanks to their bloody and brutal combat.
Both are on top of my favourite IPs list, bioshock is mystical, Dead space is survival, so there are not the same, best choice play them both and you will never regret it
Both original games were great and their sequels were good. Buy Bioshock and Deadspace first, if you really enjoy either buy the sequel for more of the same.
Bioshock for me. I bought both the same time because both cost $20. Great games. As for Dead Space, I never played the first game and I never finished the second. Although if I played the first dead space I might have enjoyed the second game more.
[QUOTE="mems_1224"]both are overrated but bioshock is actually funHoolaHoopMan
Bioshock ceased to be fun around the part where the big twist happened. The enemies became too powerful to be much fun to fight.
You have unlimited respawns and lose nothing upon death. Tough enemies are pretty moot. And the big daddies even keep the same lost hp when you are ressed via vita chambers so you can whittle them down slowly if you find them so challenging. Bioshock is a game that rewards creativity, (BEES) but can be broken with a few overpowered abilities like the mind control.
I have personally enjoyed Dead Space more, I have had to force myself to finish BioShock and have not even attempted to finish the second one with any kind of real conviction.
Dead Space takes all the worthy elements of Re4 and improve upon them substantially. With a fantastic assortment of enemies and weapons (and a marvelous story on top of that), simply put, if you like to kill, get Dead Space. If you're planning on playing Bioshock, play System Shock 2 instead.
They're different. Bioshocks fairly great but flawed, Dead Space isn't as interesting and fairly predictable but well made. Dead Space 2 however was a strong improvement on the first. Bioshock 2 was an improvement in some ways, and a step back in others. I'd say try the first each, if you enjoy them continue with the sequels.

The problem is it fundamentally doesn't, it's a really contradictory game on a design and thematic level. When it comes to creativity it's simply easy stacking into a weapon and health vials - I played through the later sections with a shotgun and wrench, the game despite scaling was stacked in my favour. It's all due to their bad balancing act and simply not having a good enough enemy variety - or open level design to really mix things up. The second game fixed that side of things quite a bit, especially with the 'defend little sisters' bit.
