uncharted 2 vs mass effect 2

[QUOTE="IronBass"]

[QUOTE="AdobeArtist"]Voice cast: UC2 has Nolan North and Claudia Black. ME2 has Keith David, Carrie Ann Moss, Yvonne Stravosky, Tricia Helfer, Michael Hogan, Seth Green, and MARTIN SHEEN. No disrespect to Nolan but... oh hell, NO game has a voice cast close to ME2 :DAdobeArtist

Am I the only one that finds Miranda's Australian accent irresistible? :oops:

is it just me or is her black Loyalty outfit so much more flattering on her than her standard outfit? :oops:

Who I picked would mostly depend on my character cIass. In my first play as a Sentinel, I usually went with Garrus and either Grunt or Samara. Now as a pre Biotic Adept who needs the tech backup, I usually go with Garrus and Miranada. Between the 3 of us, I have two that can Heavy Warp, and two that can Overload (one for heavy, one for area). Plus Miranda has the squad damage bonus and we all get the benefit of my Squad Warp Ammo bonus ability.

Though at a mid point in the game I'm considering switching Garrus out for Mordin, to see how his Incinerate and Cryo Blasts will complement our Warp and Overload abilities. Oh and I'm guessing trapping enemies in a Heavy Singularity, then Incinerate Blasting them will make for a killer combo :twisted:

UC2 is the better game

Deadly Premonition!

Mordin's incinerate is the best ability in the game, just wish his others were a bit more complimentary!blue_hazy_basic

The black outfit does basically the same thing. Only with bluish highlight sheen created from the shiny black material :P

Although "better" is opinion...I have to agree after playing both games. When I play UC2 I actually DO feel im in a movie and cant wait to see whats coming up next. ME2?...eh..its ok, but it feels like something I have played a million times before. Its just my opinion.

Man, I played Uncharted 2 for hours at my friend's apartment, and I can honestly say that I have no idea what all the hype is about.

Anyone can say that about any game right? I played Crysis on my friends PC on full settings and I didnt think it was all that. I have played and bought every single HALO game and I dont think much about those. GrandTheftAUto DONT like, Final Fantacy games HATE. Mass Effect nothing new to me...AND YES I have played and have every game mentioned.

Its just too easy to say .."i have no idea what all the hype is about"

[QUOTE="Hahadouken"][QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"] Not an achievement, just his straight lvl 4 incinerate power. Combined with a character with overload and one with warp (shields/biotics) u can insta kill most low level guys and even higher levelled bosses very fast. And 'cos incinerate is so good vs armour it helps vastly against those pesky killer big bots and collector nasties. I hardly used Mordin on my first playthrough (was pretty much garrus + another) now Mordin is always first in line!SilentlyMad

[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"][QUOTE="h575309"] I still didnt get that achievement. Ill probably do a second run through when the new DLC comes out.Hahadouken

I'm only missing 2 achievements myself. The Incinerate and Insanity achievements. I hope with still 3 loaylty missions to go, acquiring Legion (his Loyalty being 1 of the 3) and the IFF, plus a few N7 missions, I'll have the chance to get the Incinerate achievement. I probably won't bother with Insanity. I just don't see RPGs the same way as pure shooters. To me they're more about the story and character exploration than the combat challenge. But that's just me.

[QUOTE="SilentlyMad"]

[QUOTE="Hahadouken"] I think he means the Incinerate 25 enemy shields achievement. It's 1 of only 4 I didn't get. Beating the game on Insanity is probably the one I will never get.Hahadouken

As far as keeping people alive do this-

-Make sure to have all upgrades. You can loose 3 team members on the flight there alone without ship upgrades.

-Make sure to have everyone with loyalty done. Bioware said on their forums when talking about their hidden stats that a non-loyal member can kill other people

-Tali or legion-in the vents

-Jacob,Miranda,Garrus for the team leader

-Jack or Samara for biotic barrier

-Send Mordin back with the crew since he seems he can die easier then most

-Hold the line part some of the good members for that are grunt,Zaeed, Jacob and people that are more soldier type

-For me no matter the class I play I think Samara and Thane are best to take at the end. Heavy Warp and Reave tear threw armor with no trouble. Also Thane and Samara have throw for off the platforms. Also Samara has pull to get them from behind the covers.

[QUOTE="Hahadouken"][QUOTE="SilentlyMad"]I am in the middle of my Insanity run right now. The only tough spots are Horizon and the Collector Ship so once you clear those two humps it is not that bad. Also once you get to final mission you should have most if not all the upgrades. I have 2 loyalty left and 3 N& missions then I will do the final ones.The only other achievment I need is brawler but I will do that after my insanity on a easy setting so I can get close enough.

Do you think Mordin can survive the final battle? Not so much against the last boss, but to support you with his Incineration on the collectors, along with yours and Miranda's heavy warps (I'm playing as Adept now).

[QUOTE="SilentlyMad"]

[QUOTE="Hahadouken"] What really chapped me is that your weapon, armor etc. upgrades don't carry over to your second playthrough. Your skills and level does, and so does your weapon loadout, but that's it. I got to level 30 on my guys second playthrough, but now what? I'm playing on Veteran to give myself a bit of a challenge (just requires a lot more biotics and biotic combos) but knowing I will never permanently max those weapons and get something new is a bit of a sticking point. It's not possible to get every unlock on each playthrough. Only 2 SMGs throughout the entire game? I was expecting a few more. Still an incredible game, but I wish they took the replay value to the same level as MGS4. I lost 3 on the final mission, so I will complete this playthrough looking for a better result to carry over to Mass 3. I hope they give me a reward for beating all 3 games with the same character.AdobeArtist

NG+ is supposed to make the game harder because all the bad guys are same level and you do not have the upgrades. Do your insanity run with a new game and it can be a ME1 carry over.

Yeah I get that it's supposed to be harder, but they could have just offered me the next difficulty and let me keep my upgrades. Being able to completely max everything and carry it forward would urge me to try out Hardcore, then Insanity.

It still has a lot of replay value, just not as much as I would have liked in terms of carry-over. MGS4 and Resident Evil 5 were both great examples of this. So is Dead Space.

I will try that combination on my next playthrough. I'll tell Miranda to shut it, then get her loyalty back with full Paragon so I don't lose Jack, and use Tali instead of Mordin and Jacob instead of Zaeed.

As far as the Miranda Vs Jack fight. Do not have both of their loyalty missions done till you have either 80% paragon or renegade. You can do one of them whenever but at least save one till you have 80%. Then when they fight you can keep both their loyalty. LegionVs Tali is high but not sure how much since everytime I have 100%.

You can either play Drake, a big homo running around with his panties caught in a twist or you can play as bad ass Shepard and make him into any character you wish.

Your choice.

Not agreeing with the guy though, can't really test what he said...

likei said...the thread is inaccurate... since its over run with hermits and lemmings, and its pretty safe to assume that there are much more lemmings and Hermits here than cows. Anyways U2 has higher scores, much more industry awards and a degree of polish that ME2 doesnt even touch

Both games have over 25 perfect 10's actually. Truly a testament to their respective qualities

Do a coin flip, if this was me I wouldn't be able to choose between the two and it is better then listening to fanboys in system wars.

hamzah1235

And U2 didn´t got awards when it came out,it did so at the end of the year. So will ME2,most likely,at the end of 2010.

both games have an average of 9.6 and both have over 20 perfect scores. however, the poll shows more people prefer ME2
