I enjoy Bioware games, but the sheer amount of hours I've spent wandering around in Bethesda's landscapes make me choose Bethesda.
You are wrong. Bethesda publishes plenty of good games. Bioware is great, don't get me wrong, but it has a messy track record too, just like any developer. That Sonic RPG? Yeah, that's not GOTY material. Not to mention that they have something like four franchises. Bethesda at least has a varied track record. I agree that Bioware is the better of the two, but Bethesda isn't that far behind in my opinion.Cuy said:To my knowledge, there are no bad Bioware games. But there are bad Bethesda games. So yeah, Bioware it is.
Just look at all of those games and tell me I'm wrong. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bethesda_Softworks_games]
my thought's exactly.Baron Von Evil Satan said:BioWare. I've just always felt like the story and writing were much more immersive than Bethseda. I also always thought Bethesda's games lacked a lot of direction, it just sort of set a massive world before you and didn't really tell you where to go.
However, if you could combine Bethesda's gameplay and world style, and BioWare's writing and story development I think it would possibly be the best RPG known to man.
Didn't mean to say publish, meant to say develop. Anyway, my opinion still applies when you read it that way. Besides which, do something besides calling everything "horseshit" if you're going to make an argument. I would like to get specific examples if we're going to argue each other's points.Cuy said:Most of the games they published are horseshit, and most of the games they've developed are as well. Yeah, they've, to a certain degree, improved over the years. But if we do it as a good to bad games ratio, they lose big time.northeast rower said:You are wrong.

Publishing good games? Well, Bioware isn't a publisher, so I think that's kind of an unfair contest...
Strictly speaking, though, they're Action-RPGs, with greater simmilarities to Borderlands than "real RPGs".theriddlen said:Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. For me, these are the best RPG's ever made.
Exactly, just put some old-school-silent-characters-jrpg-text and we'll be fine. xDGrizzlerBorno said:2.Bethesda, seriously STOP that zooming into faces thing. It's unnatural, and creepy, and just......weird. Seriously cut it out.
For me, it did the first time. Don't get me wrong, I totally like the game, I got it for 360 at release and for PC at release ('cus PC rulez), but I must admit that I was thoroughly disappointed at the "epicness" of the gameplay.bl4ckh4wk64 said:I've finished Mass Effect 1 around 6 times now and this still sends shivers down my spine.
