[QUOTE="planbfreak4eva"][QUOTE="kolkov01"] yeah, aparently only games like Guitar hero 5 deserve a 9.0 :lol:kolkov01

Fallout 3 is the better RPG, but Mass Effect is a much better game.

Fallout >>>> Mass Effect > Fallout 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Fallout 3

At least IMO.

Fallout 3 by a long shot

For the record:

Both Fallout 1 and 2 piss all over Mass Effect. There simply isn't any comparison. I would have been shocked that these games were pitted against one another to begin with, but hell, this kind of laughable **** is par for the course in System Wars.

Incidentally, Fallout 3 is better than ME as well; though by a much slimmer margin.

Thats a tough call. Mass Effect had better story, and characters, but fallout was a more fun game. It just seemed that i always had something to strive for in fallout, a new skill, money to repair a gun, or discover a new gun. In mass effect there was no variation in the weapons it was all the same gun, but colored different, sure it had better damage or accuracy but i never felt like i achieved something new. Though Mass Effect had some great character abilities. Also fallout had much better side quests, mass effect on the other hand only had a few worth playing. I think if i had to pick a game to play as my last game ever and it was between mass effect and fallout, i would take fallout. In terms of better RPG though...... idk they both are good RPGS regardless of what fallout haters say.

There is more to do in FallOut 3 but I think Mass Effect provides the better experience. Both are great games though.

[QUOTE="kolkov01"] Fallout 1 and 2 beat mass effect to a bloody pulpMograine

Lol no, Mass effect beats Fallout.

Better storyline, characters.....

Only thing fallout has going is sidequests.

Better storyline?

Mass Effect, over Fallout?

Is this some kind of sick joke?

Fallout and Fallout 2 both brutally obliterate Mass Effect's storyline.

Classic PC elitism.

I like Mass effects storyline over the fallout games. Hell fallout 3 has a very bad story. Thank god the sidequests were so fun.

Infact the freedom is what made Fallout 3 good. Mass effect had alot of linear levels, and the fact that you cant on every planet is stupid. Lol you can land on the moon but not earth?

And no its not a sick joke. Take those fanboy goggles off please.

I've played Fallout 2 and 3 and I must say I enjoyed playing Mass Effect more.

[QUOTE="racing1750"]Mass effect, can't stand Fallout.kolkov01

I don't really care which game is technically better at being an RPG, but I know what I feel, and that I trust. Fallout 3 takes place in a world inhibited by hideous characters who say hideous things with their hideous voices. I hate that part of Fallout 3, the one where Bethesda tries to make characters and dialog etc. Especially that god damn ****ing Moira. ...though sometimes I can tolerate and even accept the tangibly stupid and annoying atmosphere.

Fallout

As role playing games:

Fallout 1 > Fallout 2 > Mass Effect > Fallout 3

Overall

Fallout 2 = Fallout 3 = Mass Effect = Fallout 1

All are great really IMO. :)

Both are pretty lousy RPGs. Shouldn't the question be more like "which is the better action game?"

And the correct answer is Fallout 3 is the better action game.

Mass Effect for its story. Fallout 3 for everything else :P

What's so great about Mass Effect's story? I'm not saying Fallout 3 is anything to write home about. It's not. But Mass Effect has a pretty generic, action-movie story set in space.

"PC elitism"? You mean experience?

Do I need to say anything else or do you see the flaws of your logic by yourself?

Yeah, fanboy goggles :lol:

Bethesda > Bioware

[QUOTE="kolkov01"]

and freedom, and...you know ACTUAL role-playing

He was talking about Fallouts 1 and 2, where your choices actually mattered and there were a wide number of different roles to play. Fallout 3 was almost similar, but only in an extremely simplistic way.

As for Mass Effect, that had far less roleplaying, since the game really only had good/evil outcomes to the quests (which could only be completed in one way - shoot everything in sight, occasionally persuading people to stand down every few quests), and virtually no meaningful choices to make, as only two or three conversations had any in-game consequences.

In any case, I'd rank them something like Fallout 2 > Fallout 1 >>> Dragon Age Origins > Fallout 3 = Mass Effect in terms of actual roleplaying. As for what was more entertaining, swap Mass Effect and Dragon Age.

*Short answer* Mass Effect is a better game, but in terms of roleplaying it probably isn't much better than Fallout 3.

Fallout 3 was superior...

That isn't even difficult.
Mass Effect is miles better than Fallout.

Fallout 3 is one of my favorites this gen as is ME. It's funny to see posters argue over something that can't be proven either way.cainetao11

Fallout 3's gameplay is an embaressment to good RPG's out there. The crappy animations are downright embaressing, also. It's hard to take that game seriously, I found its review scores unbelieveable. Terrible game. Mass Effect, while it had a lot of setbacks, was vastly superior in every way besides open endedness.

i hate both

Fallout>>>Mass effect

Mass effect>>>Fallout 3

Fallout 1 & 2 > Mass Effect

Mass Effect without a doubt.

Now that I think about it, Fallout 3 has WAY better DLC Episodes (BDTS was alright, PS was crap though), so I'll say that Fallout 3 is slightly better than Mass Effect, but Mass Effect is still amazing.

...am I going to Gaming Hell?
