I noticed how strikingly similar BioShock is to Oblivion, so I felt like creating this thread in response. Both are RPG's and have massive free-roaming worlds. And In both games, you can pick up anything left behind by an enemy.

I have'nt seen any of those two things in Bioshock..
It takes alot to top Oblivion, though i dont think Bioshock can, but its damn close. I mean, i just finished oblivion (had it for a year lol, just hadnt gotten around to it) and it has hundreds of hours to offer of amazing sidequests thats just as good as all other games stories out there.

BioShock is a very very very weird game...it's nothing like Oblivion. I would say that the content is more like Silent Hill.

WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!
yeah, hes just as serious as the moron who compared bioshock with two world.
And to the OP, they arent similar in any way except the thing with.....oh wait...nothing
Bioshock has some RPG elements. The plasmids and tonics allow for character developement, but it reminds me a bit more of Deus Ex. The character development in Oblivion is largely stats-based.
There is a lot of room to explore in Bioshock (according to the interview, not so much on the demo), but it's not really the vast, free-roaming world that Oblivion is.
So, apart from the gameplay, the environment, the graphics and the story, they're completely alike.
WTF are you smoking and um.. where's ours? BioShock and Oblivionare not similar at all. That's just like saying a F16 Jet is similar to a pair ofroller blades.Please do not use your PC while intoxicated ever again! jk, but not really lol
[QUOTE="RobbieH1234"]Oblivion is barely an RPG and BioShock is an FPS with minor RPG elements. Where's the similarity?hjart6
Oblivion is "barely" and RPG? Ok, what games do you consider to be an RPG if you think Oblivion barely qualifies?
KotOR, Fallout, Fallout 2, Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate, Planescape Torment, etc. In your opinion, what qualifies Oblivion as an RPG?
yeah, playing as a hero going in dungeons and doing quests is NOT an RPG :roll:
There is far more to an RPG than that. A quality main story (which Oblivion lacks), well written dialogue (which Oblivion lacks), giving the player choices (which Oblivion lacks), consequences on the game world (which Oblivion lacks), combat which is reliant on your character skill, not player skill (which Oblivion lacks), and need I point out the level scaling problem that is so obvious in Oblivion?. This review sums up how I feel about Oblivion pretty nicely.

Just because you don't consider it to be a good RPG doesn't mean it's not. I've never seen anyone else feel that way, and I'm sure you're in the minority.
The only comparison I see between the two games is first person viewpoint. Beyond that, I don't think Bioshock & Oblivion should be compared at all other than to say that they are both high-quality titles in their respective genres.
What are you talking about? I haven't started a thread the whole day.

You said you compared two worlds and oblivion just now, so i assumed you meant that you started the thread in the way you said it. You not quoting is cinfusing me..
