I know many of you hate FF XIII because of it's linearity, but the gameplay is amazing!!

Changing the paradigm in the middle of battle, buff and debuff, staggering enemies is what makes the battle so fun in FF XIII

Unlike ME2, when you only shoot the enemies, you can finish the game without using skill at all!!

And morover, the enemy design!!

In Mass Effect 2, from the beginning UNTIL THE END, Oh wait...EVEN UNTIL THE SHADOW BROKER DLC you only fought this guy:

ee

While in FF XIII you can fought:

sa

ds

And so on....

And the characters is better too, I think ME 2 has too many characters!! While some of them are interesting like Tali and Garrus, but the other like Kasumi and Jacob are worthless

While in FF XIII, Sazch is easily the best FF character I know, his son is a l'cie and....well I don't want to give spoilers, lets say that Sazch is trying to help his son who become l'cie just to found out that his son is XXXXX and made l'cie by XXXXXX and he's a XXXXX too and must XXXXX

sasa

This is what a scene should be...

And now the ending!!

*Possible Spoiler*

I dont want to give spoilers, so I just wanna said the last boss, in ME 2 you fought a Terminator wannabe

asassa

While in FF XIII you fought something artistic

asassasasa

And the ending was pretty good too, Leona Lewis song "My Hands" fit perfectly well, with amazing CG made FF XIII ending one of the best of it's series.

While in ME 2 while you can choose whether too keep / destroy the base, after that it's pretty bland...

So what about the town?

While ME 2 had towns and people you can interract, you have to admit: THE SIDEQUEST IS SUCK!!

And the game is WAY TOO SHORT!! I finished ME 2 in my first playthrough only in 22 hours!! And that's after I finished all my crew loyalty mission!!

While in FF XIII I finished it in 45 hours!! And I just got 30% of the trophy!! See how big FF XIII is?

That's why I think FF XIII is a better game than ME 2...

Mass Effect 2 GOTY? It's not even the best RPG this year:lol:

No wonder you didn't like the game, you skipped all the dialog. It took me 50hours to finish it the first time I played it. While I like to explore, I'm 100% sure you can't finish it that quick without skipping plot.

FF13 fails in every aspect but visuals.

The combat looks cool and is initially fun to use ... Until you realise how ridiculously easy it makes the game.

ME2 just fails in it's story - Which is still better then FF13

Square has some of the best concept artists in the business. However, that still wasn't enough save FFXIII from being crap.

FFXIII was utter disappointment. 45 hours play time doesn't matter when it's just boring in so many areas.

I don't know why I bothered continuing to read after the TC said that Mass Effect 2 requires no skill. Beating a game on easy does not count, m'boy. And how can you say the sidequests for ME 2 suck? I mean, WTF.

I love people's definitions of "artistic". I think you will find it's subjective, but I don't really think art has changed that much between final fantasy games even though each has been a stand alone title. If you are suggesting that Final Fantasy has better graphics then I could see what you meant but other than that, it was a let down in every sense according to reviews... Mass Effect has fall backs even if the action can get a bit weak. Bioware must have thought gears style shooting was the epitome of third person combat (which it isn't, it sucks terribly in that game too so I was a bit disappointed to see the same cheap gameplay).

Paradigms are weak because you don't get rewarded for balancing your team, mono-classes are better and it just boils down to switching between them quickly.

Final Fantasy XIII is pretty, but that's about it.

FF13 is the worst game this world has ever seen, one of the most boring, indiferent titles ever created

Worst ... game ... ever

Please, dont compare that crap with Mass Effect 2, it may be dumped down comparing to Mass Effect 1, but FF13is a billion times worst

Heck no, I didn't skip even a single conversation, I read all the conversation holding my mouse tightly waiting for Paragon/Renegade choice

It's just that the level is way too short, and I transferred it from my ME 1 save so I got 100,000 money

Like ME 2 Kasumi DLC, I finished it only in 2 hours

Overlord in 4 hours, and Shadow Broker in 3 hours

I haven't had the chance to play Mass Effect 2, will in January, but I did play FF13. I enjoyed 13 a hell of a lot so we'll have to see whether ME2 can live up to the Hype. :wink:

I have played both and I respect your opinion but I don't agree, FFXIII might be better as an RPG than Mass Effect 2 but I found it not as fun/engaging to play and there's lots of problems with the story and characters, and yes, I got it on day one and put many hours into it as well.

The combat system is what made me played it for a long time, not a whole lot of else.

the witcher is just one giant fetch quest.:P Dragon age's and me2's side quests were pretty similiar. Side quests in fo3 were the highlight of the entire game.

Yeah I also beat the game in around 25 hours or so.... The game felt really short I beat in about 2 days time of playing, but the DLC made up for it IMO. FF13 I never beat got bored of it after the 1st 3 hours, I'll get back to it at some point.

Oh, normal. Yeah, that is easy. My last playthrough was Insane, and it wasn't exactly a breeze.

Mass Effect 2 has Yvonne Strahotski. Therefore, instant win. Nothing else need be said.

Honestly? My opinion is that FF XIII sucks for the first 20 hours, no seriously. Then it gets pretty damn good to a point that its better than mass effect 2. I dont care about dialogue options so ME2 nonlinearity felt gimmicky to me and yeah i thought final fantasy was better. Also gotta say that the characters in mass effect 1 and 2 are just terrible. i did not like not even one of them.

And I think this is a blog post that's real intentions are probably just to annoying a lot of people.
