Mass Effect 2. It's (slightly) more decent.

More epic? God of War 3 without a doubt. As to which is better? I'd still say God of War 3 even though Mass Effect 2 rocks.

More EPIC? Without even playing Mass Effect 2 I can say God of War III. Which is better? I don't know, I haven't played Mass effect 2 yet, still playing through the first one. I like God of War III better than Mass Effect, but I've heard ME2 is much better so I'll reserve judgment. The judgment of GoWIII being more epic still stands however.

In what way is it epic? Epic is not being used as a synonym for great. I don't see how Mass Effect in general is epic. God of War III you are a powerful human taking on some of the most powerful creatures in history and knocking off all the GODS of Olympus one by one, starting with Poseidon, which ends in you killing him from his perspective. You are a single man with only one person in the world helping you, and they can't do much. As opposed to Mass Effect where you are a space soldier with teammates backed by an entire corporation, armed with heavy weaponry and taking on enemies who are often just other humans. Mass Effect is a fantastic game and I'm sure ME2 is better, but I don't see where the "EPIC" factor comes from. It's great for other reasons. Of course the multiplat is going to win the poll though...

Mass effect 2.

The last suicide mission is, in my opinion, one of the best levels i have ever played. Any decision you make can affect your teams life.

God of war 3 is epic, but the ending was dissapointing to say the least.

[spoiler] I don't see what was so disappointing, Kratos is finally relieved from his suffering and then sacrifices his life to give hope back to the world so it can be rebuilt, leading to the current world. [/spoiler]

Hahaha this guy's right. You're all missing the point of the word epic. Actually they probably all understand it, but don't want to admit that God of War III is more "anything positive" than the game they like better since they can play it.

Well at least one person didn't just vote for ME2 because they like it better despite how "epic" it is, good job.

Honestly? Mass Effect 2. It's 3x longer so it has much more epic moments than GoW 3. Although the epic moments in GoW 3 are almost second to none.

Umm, Kratos is one of the most helped hero in all of gaming :|

GOW3 is more epic overall, the final mission in ME2 is more epic then Zues though. Overall ME2 is still the better game though.

Yeah but if that's so then the TC would have asked which one is better. If the term epic is used with its right meaning then there's no doubt GOW is the most epic game.

Spo choices you make in GOW2 effect gameplay in GOW3? ME2

MizFitAwesome

The don't even effect the gameplayin Mass Effect 2. Honestly they had zero effect on the story since the same thing would happen regardless of whether the council was humans only or the old council, etc. Of course that may change in Mass Effect 3, but we have to wait and see.

The choices that do carry over in ME2 are great though. If you play the base game you're stuck with all Renegade choices and you never get your Spectre status back, or Wrex, or Rachni message, or Conrad Verner etc. There's whole quests that you cannot experience without it. ME1 save file definitely adds more flavor to the game.

Wait a second guys, I just found the cow dictionary

Epic - Button mashing your way through made up Greek Mythology.

MizFitAwesome

It can be seen as a button masher depending on the player. There are precise players who take the time to learn the ins and outs of combat, and then there's casuals that mash square triangle.

Since you're pretty much implying that god of war III is a button masher, I think it's safe to say you fall into the latter group. If that's the case, I feel sorry that you can't experience the game the right way.

not everyone is good at videogames :P

I'll admit, they make for nice little easter eggs, but the core story remains the same, all of your actions in the previous game. I mean yeah, Bioware could be saving up for ME3, but the choices really didn't impact ME2 at all.

i enjoyed both titles :) and i think they're equally as epic with ME2 having more edge.

It's a close one but I'd say God of War III for its scale.

GOW had an epic beggining. But the rest wasn't too epic. Although, I haven't play Mass Effect 2 so I can't vote.

Really, but you fail to mention the meaning from the Lemming dictionary*** Epic - Can't have it, so hate it.

Back on topic I say GOW3, but ME2 is epic in it's own way. It's really hard to say because both are totally different games so judging them accordingly isn't really justifiable.

I've only played Mass Effect 2, but that was pretty **** epic.
