ME: Best NEW Series this gen is........

I'm surprised the Bioshock franchise isn't on your list as one of the main choices, it's already produced two of the most critically acclaimed games of this generation.

Gears of War failed to advance or mature beyond the original concept, so I can't vote for it. Assassin's Creed is very intriguing but ultimately a little too repetitive for my tastes.

I'm very torn between Uncharted and Mass Effect, which are my two favorite franchises of this generation (old or new). I'm going to split my vote both ways.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="cain006"]I played through them twice and the second time I realized I didn't really have much say over what was going on, but I thought it was still pretty fun. For ME, the first time was awesome, second time alright. Mass Effect 2 was disappointing the first time and bad the second. I think they're still pretty good though.

Oh and what about STALKER? That's a pretty good new series.

Yep, no doubt about it, because darklink said so. Get a new hobby

[QUOTE="Advid-Gamer"]

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Pretty much. I'd rather play the original again, to be honest. Mass Effect 2 is just flat-out bad. I have't played STALKER, so i can't comment.DarkLink77

[QUOTE="Advid-Gamer"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] No, because unlike so many people, I'm wasn't blinded by the hype and the illusion of choice. I can actually see the game for what it is. So, no, I think I'll keep gaming. Excuse me if I have standards. Besides, I wasn't talking to you, dumbass.DarkLink77

[QUOTE="Advid-Gamer"] You didnt need to, I always call out a moron when I see one. Advid-Gamer

Not in the slightest. ME suxz.

I like dead space and dragon age. And Demons/Dark Souls

Borderlands is good too, can't wait for 2. Man there's been a lot.

I'll go with Dead Space. I love it.

Mass Effect is brilliant.

I don't think zelda and mario lovers would agree. Thats obvious :lol:

Assassins Creed, Uncharted, Little Big Planet are my favourites too.
And the Dead Space Universe is fantastic.. eg. Comics, Animated Comics, Movie, Books... Same as Assassins Creed to.

Developers going the extra mile, love it.

I like AC the most but I generally don't go for yearly titles.

Depends how ME3 turns out.

Though as it looks, yes ME the best new series this gen.

Just got 2 for 20$:D

Without a doubt it is. I really enjoy Assassin's Creed as well (AC1 partially).

Yes obviously Uncharted is the best series this gen.-themajormayor

Crap game huh?

After completing the 1st ME a few times I would say hell yes, best new IP in a decade perhaps :o but after ME2 :? I'm gonna have to say Gears wins as of now until I play through ME3 a few times - fingers, toes & eyes crossed hoping Bioware melds the best of 1&2 into a phenom RPG where I can say Mass Effect is the best new IP since HALO !! :P

A serie has to have more than 1 title and look promising enough to be continued.

With that in mind I voted Assassins's Creed but I had more fun with Batman: Arkham ...

Also the Dark Souls/Demon games are amazingly good IMO.

It's worth mentioning that Borderlands & Alan Wake are recieveing a second chapter and the first ones were completely amazing :)

BOT, I think Assassin's creed takes the cake.

But this is a yearly title with new stuff every year, at least they are trying to achieve the "perfect" formula, or it looks that way.

Also Dead Space is a really nice serie :)

The new batman series for me...though it's hardly one since there have been only 2 games out yet....out of the choices Mass Effect.

Dead Space is my favorite by far

Thenan honorable mentionto Bioshock (although not sure if this counts with System Shock or whatever that game is called)

Mass Effect is absolutely garbage, minus the voice acting which is absolutely superb.

ME story was a terrible, the ending in both games are two of the worst I've ever been through.

The controls are god awful, even on PC. The TPS gameplay is completed bland and nearly archaic.

ME1 had so many faults its ridiculous. I remember saying a youtube video where it took 28 seconds to load textures, the PC version from my experience wasn't any better. Every time I gambled the game would crash. It even crashed on other occassions too.

ME2 fixed those problems for the most part, but stripped the RPG elements in the process. Both bad.

I voted for Mass Effect but it was a tough call between that and Uncharted. oh yea BTW AC SUCKS!!!!!

masterpinky2000

are you my twin? I feel the same way

Uncharted is the best new series hands down! Best exclusive game this gen, period. All the others you listed are pretty good though, and the runner up on that list would be Mass Effect, but if I would have voted other than it would have been the Batman Arkham games. That'sa new series, and it's a damn good one too.

Can't really pick one, since different series do different things better than all the othres. For me...

Uncharted... just great fun, excellent humor, and superb delivery on all fronts.

Portal... again, excellent humor, fun puzzles, creative and mind-twisting at the same time.

Bioshock... fun, excellent story telling techniques, and fun powers. Also, apart from plasmids, the idea of a morality-free utopia is kind of plausible.

Assassin's Creed... I haven't really enjoyed the games since the second one, but they are definitely immersive and beautiful. I love the historical setting.

Resistance... great games, though the last one sucked. I like the alternate history idea.

Heavy Rain... this is a one-of-a-kind game. I absolutely loved it. I don't think I'd want more than a couple more games like it, but it was an excellent experience.

LittleBigPlanet... one of my favorite games this generation. Unparrallelled creative options and excellent co-op.

ModNation Racers... same with the creative options for racers, and the gameplay is just excellent. The evolution of kart racers finally happened.

MAG... shows what can be done with a talented team. If there is a sequel, I imagine it will be amazing.

That's all I got for now. Some of these games aren't part of a series, but I think you meant IPs.

Mass Effect

The STALKER trilogy is the best series this gen., by far, followed by The Witcher.

Never in my life have I seen a game so poorly put together and so far below the standard be so loved. AAllxxjjnn

I'll put Gears for now, since I'm worried how ME3 will turn out (whether or not the MP's just awful). Surprised it's not getting that much love considering that it defined the genre this gen. moose_knuckler

[QUOTE="themajormayor"][QUOTE="dreman999"] Tali crying when her father dies sounds robotic? I don't think you know what good voice acting is...No one sounds flat. They make act robotic from time to time but the only one that sounds robotic is Legiondreman999

I remember vaguely. He was like a general or judge or something. Ehm no I am not talking about animation. The voice acting is still superior. But I guess you have a point with not putting a distinct charcteristic in a RPG on the player controlled character. Mass Effect 2 though isn't really an RPG though.
