Spookie Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I see the poll was edited! Well in that case that cements it. Bioshock by well over a mile. Yeah, but that was a PC game. You can do a lot more on PC games than console games. That's why I'm praising Halo 3 for this feature, because it's a console game. Err didn't Far Cry (on the console) have this feature? With even more depth I might add. But I didn't see that getting much praise.

Smigit Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 only played the Bioshock demo since I cant run my PC copy until I get an update. Halo 3 has been alot of fun so far but. I think I'll wait to pass my judgement. ATM I'd have to say H3 based on the fact thats basically all I've played beyond the bioshock demo, but my online gaming is spent in CSS so I may not even play H3 multiplayer and at the same time the lack of MP in Bioshock probably wont upset me. One thing I guess I don't get is why there wasnt a multiplayer mode for Bioshock. I really would love for them to release one like they did with HL2 at a later date. To me the entire concept would work very well. THe whole electricity thing would bring back that rather funky lightning gun kill element from Quake 1 where you could discharge your gun killing yourself and everyone in the water. Man that was fun. Sure, they wanted to concentrate on single player but now it's out I see no reason why not to include some multiplayer support, even if it's only a few levels with a max of 8 or 16 players. I think it'd really increase the lifespan and thanks to the plasmids and traps and how they interact with the environment Irrational has a real chance to create a very unique online experience.

Elliott Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 (edited) Halo 3 was much more fun to me. I haven't even finished Bioshock because it got so boring and repetitive. Halo 3, to me, was far more compelling in both gameplay and cinematics. BioShock had the pretty graphics, but the "multiple ways to kill" thing didn't really pan out, considering there was always one good way to kill a certain enemy anyway, and there's no point in straying from that and getting yourself killed. Also, the story behind BioShock is completely overrated, and the way it tells it is crap.

CY:G Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 If i have to choose, then Bioshock, although Halo 3 was pretty good too, specially the vehicles.

abysal Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Halo 3 rocks with Co-Op Multiplayer, I found it more fun to play with a friend, then solo. Although BioShock has better visual appeal, and better single player.

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted September 27, 2007 Global Moderator Share Posted September 27, 2007 bioshock was a cool concept, but something just didn't fit for me, i think i wasted my money on it... halo 3 story, i never really got into the story party of it, i just liked halo 2 for MP, and so far the sameway for halo 3. Halo 3 gets my vote Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/590414-bioshock-vs-halo-3-wich-one-is-better/page/2/#findComment-588879613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
solgae Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 If you want challenge, Bioshock won't give you anything. No Death Penalty (save for the last boss) practically kills the game's difficulty. Bioshock has a bit more complex story, but Halo isn't exactly that bad either. It has a pretty deep plot for a simple alien-invading-humans story, although it is by no means, a best-seller story. In the end though, I guess Halo 3 gets my vote because of its online co-op feature and the ever-so-difficult legendary difficulty. You really are missing out a lot on Halo 3 if you don't play at least on Heroic. And you can always try playing by yourself on legendary.

CactuzJak Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Bioshock hands down for me, I just never got into Halo, just don't seem that good of a game. I can't wrap my head around the hype about it... oh well Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/590414-bioshock-vs-halo-3-wich-one-is-better/page/2/#findComment-588879738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMan Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Yep.. but in Bioshock you can create weapons... not to mention the Plasmids and the Genetic upgrades... awsome! unfortunately neither of wich added anything to the gameplay. and the plasmids besidesbeing useless mostly just sucked. I prefer the way of the guy making Fabl 2, it's better to have a few really good things, than a thousands mediocre crap.

Tikimotel Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Halo 3 , because I've read the books, I like the story (stories) behind it. BioShock is lame you can't die...feels repetative after 33% of the game, plot "twists" are very predictable.

Razorwing Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Well I'm not a huge Halo fan, but I ordered H3, mostly because of the multiplayer.But Bioshock really didn't impress me, neither with graphics gamepla or the so called story, though I only played the demo, but nothing in the demo intrigued me to want to play the full game. And Halo 3 got multiplayer. Bioshock's graphics was very good. Especially the water effects. I'm still playing Bioshock, and well I'm not a halo fan at all. So Bioshock gets my vote.

LunarFalcon Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I think they're both great games, but since Halo has co-op and multiplayer, it has a lot more play time in it Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/590414-bioshock-vs-halo-3-wich-one-is-better/page/2/#findComment-588879920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeR Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 To me Halo is just more fun to play; I don't know why but playing Bioshock stresses me out and I can only play it for so long. Halo on the other hand I could play all day and night and still want more.

Tiger.Girl Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I played through Bioshock 3 times beat it on hard and have all the achievements (something I don't have on any other game). Bioshock wasn't THAT great and it doesn't have that much replay value. I am sure I will play through the Halo campaign many more times in co-op and that doesn't even factor in the multi player.

ritsuke Veteran Posted September 27, 2007 Veteran Share Posted September 27, 2007 BioShock - for storytelling, sound and immersion. It's an incredible experience, if you can let yourself get lost in Rapture. In my opinion, Halo is a mediocre series that isn't even remotely competent enough to compete in this area. Bungie can't "storytell" their way out of a paper bag. For me, if the story isn't worth it, the campaign has already been lost. But, that doesn't keep Halo 3 from being fun. Like others have said, it offers greater longevity, if that's your thing. Of course, there's always room for both. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/590414-bioshock-vs-halo-3-wich-one-is-better/page/2/#findComment-588880025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
