Planetside 2 vs Portal 2
Planetside 2
Planetside 2 is a sci-fi-themed MMOFPS game that's the explosive sequel to its predecessor, Planetside, which was released back in 2003. In a way, the game is more inclined towards the extravagant and yet is still rather down-to-earth mainly because it features massive battlefields where hundreds to even thousands of players can battle it out for their faction. In fact, the game has an exciting gameplay which may bring to mind the games in the Battlefield franchise albeit the futuristic sort.Not to mention, Planetside 2 has an actual war playing out on the map where players who won a certain battlefield will essentially "claim" the land for their faction. The tug-of-war-like power struggle between factions help to bond the players in a way that resembles the deep rift between the Alliance and the Horde in World of Warcraft. The game is also developed by Daybreak Games which is in pretty good company along the likes of EverQuest 2, DC Universe Online and Lord of the Rings Online.
So, if you're looking for an epic MMOFPS game to fully immerse yourself in, then Planetside 2 is your best bet. If not, there are plenty of other casual shooters out there, but you can definitely expect that none of them can measure up to the faction-vs-faction tension, which usually erupts into another battle, offered in this game.
Portal 2
Portal 2 follows in the footsteps of the award-winning original while continuing the story of Chell and Glados. Now with both single player and a 2-player cooperative mode, Portal 2 ramped up its game with a plethora of new, challenging puzzles, a storyline that's a lot richer than before, and more advanced and realistic physics that will govern your gameplay. Interestingly, the game also includes editing tools, allowing players to create their own puzzles which can then be shared for all to enjoy.Portal 2 is definitely a much better game in the series and if you fancy giving this franchise a chance, you might want to jump straight to Portal 2.
