I'll be honest with you. I had no idea wtf they were talking about throughout the entire game of MGS2. I find the MGS series story telling as too lame and boring. Mass Effect's story is the best in a video game because it spices things up and it is westernized so it isn't lame.

It's not fair, because I'm biased against MGS. But, for gameplay, not story.

Also, there has been a lot more MGS story.

uh, what exactly do we have to discuss, MGS and Mass Effect are two totally different game genres

but for the sake of the thread i would say mass effect. Metal gear solid 2 was very confusing, and the fact that i was forced to play as girly looking raiden made it even worse...

Of course. It took me several play throughs to get it. Then again I was a kid when I played the first two, which were the most complex imo.

The story was the favorite part of the game and that's what this thread is about, bud.

Well why did R&C get a 7.5?Uncharted 8?OPINION. Just because its ona well known website, doesn't make it valid. Thats why you need to find other reviews to balance it out.

I wasn't a huge fan of Mass Effects story. It was ok, but MGS is like... the mother of all stories in video games. I've got to go with MGS here.

I would say because of the so many wasted planets. Though this thread is about the story and I played MGS2 when I was a kid and thought the story was totally retarded.

well, its not for people who won't give it a chance. I mean i understood mgs2 the first time through. maybe others didnt understand it because they skipped the cutscenes and they blame the game when they don't understand. And how can you compare multiple games' worth of story to just one game's worth of story? and you had to pick MGS, the game many people are going to play a ps3 for?

ME is too boring for me to play start to finish so i'll never be able to give an honest answer, but imo MGS is the best story ever told in video gaming, its too bad theres alotta people who arent bright enough to understand it.

In your defense MGS1 the game with the best story in the franchise is also an 8.5 game, but far more revolutionary than anything that Bioware could produce.
But you probably didn't get MGS2 because you were a youngster, character development was there and fairly deep, there was a message in the location, the characters, in the S3 simluation everything had a meaning. I know you felt a certain way when the screen went small and you were playing in a small box that was shown when the game is over. MGS2 is a clasic.

lol there is not comparison. MGS pwns Mass Effect. If you cant understand MGS story then you really need to stop playing all-american fps. I mean cummon, its not complicated as long as u do something called 'following the story'. One of MGS best features is its story!

Mass Effect is an RPG. RPGs are typically very story-driven. For an action game, MGS has the best story. Mass Effect has an awesome story, but I haven't played enough RPGs to judge it by others.

Take MGS2 (the last third, specifically) out of the equation, and MGS wins easily... MGS2 had some pretty weird moments though.

To be fair and this is the words of a guy who owns both systems, MGS4 would i'm afraid wipe the floor with Mass Effect, much more wider and more solid fan based community

i havent voted as i havent played ME yet.

but im not a big fan of the MGS stories to be honest. well....MGS2 just put me right off. MGS1 had a fantastic story that was well told. the overall story was great, the characters were fantastic and the writing was absolutely brilliant. in comparison, MGS2 felt like a badly written soap imho....and it seems to be getting worse :S.

JUST THE STORY LINE.. its not like MGS doesn't have sci-fi elements, and its not like Mass Effect doesn't have strong character development.


(There very much comparable, but MGS's story is just better in every considerable way possible? )
