Probably comes down to your preference. If you tend to like open world games, FC3. IMHO, both games are really good and well worth the price.

Far Cry 3 - better value and a more ambitious game. I don't care what your theory on parallel universes is.

Bioshock is still too expensive IMO for no online play. I'll wait until it's around $10

Far Cry 3. Bioshock Infinite wasn't that good.

i got bored with fc3 and had to really push myself to finish it. it's extremely fun at first but gets way to repetitive and the story emersion is broken due to clearing out pirate strongholds and tower climbing. and the ending sucked.

I haven't played FC3, but Bioshock Infinite had an amazing campaign. If you're open to other suggestions however, Borderlands 2 FTW

I just finished Bioshock last night while Far Cry 3 I bought and finished on release. Let me put it to you t his way.  52 hours in FC3 and 14 hours in Bioshock. Biochock has a good story probably better than FC but the combat just is not on par.

Far Cry 3 is probably a better value, if you're on a budget. It'll take much longer to finish, and just has more to do in general. That's the nature of an open-world game. Bioshock is amazing, though. And, for me, personally, after playing Infinite 3 times back to back to back, I've got more hours in it than in Far Cry 3. FC3 was a great ride, and took a while, but after I finished the story, and liberated all the outposts, I never opened it up again.

Not only did the ending suck, every major plot situation just turned into a stupid QTEfest. FC3 had an awful story, but the game was still really fun for me if I looked past it.

I preferred Far Cry 3. Gameplay wise, it's much more open ended, with more to do and I think the shooter stuff is better handled.

Bioshock: Infinite's story is better crafted, but I think Far Cry 3 is interesting because the gameplay does a better job of serving the story than Infinite (where all the shooting feels out of place). I also actually really liked Far Cry 3's story.

FC3 is a more enjoyable game and has loads of replay value.

As far as gameplay goes, Far Cry 3 is better imo. It's still not as good as stalker though as it has the typical american-hollywoody feel and the main characters you are suppose to like are assholes and the ones you are suppose to hate are cool as hell (one of them has boobs). Blood Dragon is also really fun. Couple of good mods for Far Cry 3 as well.

I have no idea how you made Bioshock last 22 hours. I played through on hard (whatever is under 1999 mode) and it took me 13 hours.

Far Cry 3 will last you longer. I'd get that. Can't go wrong with either though.

For me...Bioshock Infinite is not a game...it is a movie...not even an interactive movie...

So, hands down FC3.

FC3 is probably a 60 hour game. BS:I is closer to 10. I think BS:I is good for what it is but the pseudo-intellectual ending isn't as clever as it thinks it is. FC3 is much more ambitious. The open world is much more fun. The story is actually good on top of that too. It has the most memorable villain in recent memory
