I have just completed AC. I thought it was a great game. I own both a ps3 and a 360. I'm not sure what game to buy next? Either Mass Effect or Drake's Fortune. What do you guys think? Please reply only if you have played either game!

Get ME is you like to play a good, long RPG. Get Uncharted if you like action adventure but its short (8-12 hours)

Both are good games. I recommend you rent both and check them out, then buy the one you like.

Buy Mass Effect and rent Uncharted. If Uncharted is an 8 hour game then what's the point in buying it over a 40 hour game?

I owuld go with Mass Effetcm it looks incredible, and can be played for 25+ hours, then has HUGE replayability, finishing everything could well take you above 100 hours easilly, the game is killer

Drake is a rent IMO at best

Mass Effect. Longer game with better replay value so you're getting more bang for your buck.

1. Mass Effect flopped, it was hyped AAA.

2. Uncharted is 10 hours long on average according to most reviewers. Yeah if you play easy then it would take 6-8 hours but thats like someone saying Gears is only 5 hours because they beat it on casual.

Mass Effect if you like long fun in-depth RPG's.

Drakes Fortune if you like hard action/adventure games.

They're both totally different, go with either genre you prefer over the other.

If you own both a 360 and a ps3 then you have the money to get both. But if you had to scrap together the money to get both systems and are now broke I say get ME you will not be disappointed, but since I have not played Drakes Fortune I don't know how good it is.

get uncharted, and play it on hard, you get 12-15 hours max, going threw it first wit out getting any treasures, and goals.

i dont see why everyone says 8 hours, when gamers should be playing games all onhard when they get them anyway. people who say 8 on sw are the people have never played uncharted.

ME is a glitchy mess

It is indeed glitchy than most of the better current gen games. But it's still so awesome.

Buy Mass Effect and rent Uncharted. If Uncharted is an 8 hour game then what's the point in buying it over a 40 hour game?DragonfireXZ95

Uh....Yeah, Mass Effect is nowhere near forty hours--Even if you do all the quests, it's only about 20-25 hours. And like the previous poster said: 15 hours can be squeezed out of Uncharted (plus it's cover system is much more versatile).

Anywho, both games are great, so get both eventually. But go for Mass Effect first I'd say.

Get DF first so you can beet it and then trade it in to get ME. ME is only about 20 hours but has more replay value.

no if you do every mission and everything you can do in the game it takes about 40-50 hours.

Ummm... I dunno. Well I bought Mass Effect and then I got Drakes Fortune the next day from Gamefly. Needless to say that as soon as I popped in Drakes Fortune I couldnt stop playing it til I beat it. Right Now I'm stuck on Mario Galaxy, I just can't put the game down. Once I beat it I'll continue with Mass Effect.

Nope. I spent a whole day playing Mass Effect and it took me 22 hours to beat after doing just about every job.

It is nowhere near 40-50 hours. No lies please.

Did you like the demo of uncharted? If you did, buy Uncharted, The full game is so much better than the demo. The story, acting, graphics, music, and gameplay are all top-notch. It is my game of the year.

I agree with 'jlh47', ME is 40+ hour game if you do everything(i do take my time though, like you should with a game like this). I do not know how you completed everything in 22, IMO that's almost impossible unless you rush it. I know many people on my friends list who have finished ME and it took them at least 30, and thats without completing it 100% or even 90%. The fastest i'veheard was 15 hours but thats without any side-quests and rushing it.

:rolleyes:

It is NOT 40 hours. Even the reviewers agree with me on this. The Main storyline as well as side-quests amounts up to about 25 hours. The only way I could figure you extrapolating 40 hours is by counting replays where you made differents decisions; replay value is not the same as actual length.

I own both but i personally prefer uncharted. (not to into WRPGs) you should download the demo for uncharted and know that the controls are better in the final game and it gets a lot more fun(and the demo was pretty fun as is) Ive had more fun with Uncharted than any other game this generation. Mass Effect is pretty good tho, probably my favorite WRPG. you really cant lose but if i could only have one it would be Uncharted hands down.

Uncharted got an 89.6% on GR. Had Gamespot actually posted a score more appropriate to the game. It would have made AAA--As all the other reviewer sites would agree it should.

buy mass effect

uncharted is a must rent, if that. maybe just play it if you see it in a store one day.. even then it might not be worth your time.
