  • Bioshock is better than Crysis
    Overall Comparison
    Shooter wise, Bioshock is way better than Crysis.  The game is more balanced.  Both games the player have powers that they can use against the enemies.  But Crysis is just dumb.

    The million dollar super suit you have is weak, the battery life on it is worse than my cellphone.  Sure it recharges itself but you can't even make it pass 5 ft before your battery is dead.  Therefore you're practically fighting a group of enemy soldiers in your boxers.  It takes a lot more bullets to kill a enemy soldier and they all have aim bot!  They can hit you from sniper range, yet I have problems holding a sniper rifle steady with all this "advanced" technology on me.  The government pretty much screwed you over, making it look all fancy.  The game is pretty difficult even in easy or normal settings but in expert mode, the enemy soldier will speak Korean!  OMG!  They're going to talk trash at you in Korean as they shoot you while you're standing there trying to figure out what they're say.  C'mon...I'm sure their aim bot is turned on more often.

    The story wasn't that great either, government consiracy, Koreans stealing alien technology, aliens got pissed and want to blow up earth.  The only credits this game deserve are the fancy engine and graphics.

    It seems like a lot of you have already talked about Bioshock so I will just leave that alone and say I like that game too.

  • Bioshock seemed to be a well polished game, but I lost interest somewhat quickly because of its seemingly contrived RPG aspects.  I don't want to be distracted from the action, story or puzzles of an action game to worry about inventory management, weapon upgrades, and the like.

    I'm not necessarily an RPG hater ; I enjoyed Mass Effect immensely, for example, but you have to gripped by a story to stay involved with a game that complex though.  Bioshock was essentially a zombie shooter under the guise of an intriguing suspense tale wrapped within the complicated framework of an RPG.  In my opinion, it just didn't have enough legs to stand on. 

    All that being said, in terms of gameplay Crysis wasn't much stronger.  However, I feel I got the experience I was looking for when I purchased it, and the story was above-average for that type of game.

    • The part that hurt Bioshock the most for me was the ammo management.  There were so many times where all I had was ammo for my silly pistol and nothing else.  Even with those issues, I still totally loved Bioshock.

      From a pure action game standpoint though, I can see how Crysis may be able to edge out Bioshock.

  • I agree, mainly.

    Crysis was good because of the stealth (a little), the very nice graphics (the prettiness made it fun, admit it.), the destroying of gas-stations, and this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaHS-y_mapQ.

    Bioshock was legit a great game though, so Crysis doesn't really have a chance.

    Haha, the batteries, man. You could stealth for 5 seconds or run for 1.5.
