Uncharted 2 vs. Mass Effect 2 (POLL)

Okay seriously, what's up with this persistant Mass Effect/Uncharted comparison. This is as bad as all the Resistance/Gear of War comparisons.

I voted ME2, but its a close race. :)

Cows vs Hermits and Lemmings Who wins in 2 vs 1?methinksyou

Mass Effect is my favorite of the two. Hell, it's my favorite game of all time. Uncharted ranks #2.

Dude, wired. It's at exactly 50-50:o

uncharted 2 because of the environment.

im getting sick of the space/sci fi shooter.

The poll quite accurately presents the thinking behind the question: They are totally different games and so people who like Uncharted's style of gameplay will pick it, and people who like Mass Effect 2's style of gameplay will pick it. I have a personal bias towards Mass Effect 2 (as it is prevailing as my favourite franchise of all time), so that is my favourite of the two. Uncharted 2 is still an amazing game however

CRYSIS...................... oh wait.

Both games are must have, I own both and I enjoyed both, but ME2 just edges it out. Looks like the poll is about the same too.

Demon Soul's best RPG i played in years the story sucks but the gameplay is amazing.didnt like ME1 will try ME2 later see how it is hope its not overrated like Dragon Age. anyway this poll is pointless

The one that won Game of the Year and its rated a 96 on metaritic with 85+ reviews and more than 40 perfect scores. The one that is one of the highest rated games of all time. :P

Nah, just kiddin'. They're both great games...but Uncharted 2 has the overall package with unsurpassable console graphics, active cinemetaic experience seen like never before, funny as hell....and its just SO good. It is an easy game to love filled with an aura thats kind of like magic....it strikes you deep and leaves you thinking how the future of video games will be.

Uncharted 2 is just....like Ive always said, MAGIC in one disk.

Bloody amazing game.

Uncharted 2.

But seriously its an exclusive compared to a multiplat.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize exclusivity influenced quality. Besides, they're both system sellers, despite exclusivity.

those of you who think it's comparing apples to oranges are FEWLS! There's no such thing as genre that really exists it's just an archetype in this case because direct comparisons can be made.

For example the option to customize your character in Mass Effect 2 to any gender, any race and any look for John Shepard EXISTS. You can't do that in Uncharted 2 with Nathan Drake you are stuck with the same old character, and not everyone wants to play with the same generic hollywood 'hero'. This might seem trivial to alot of people but is actually considerably more socially progressive and advanced than UC2. Instead of being locked with one character like in movies, this is the big advantage of video games.

This could have been implemented along similar lines in UC2, but they didn't do that now did they?

And on top of that linearity vs non-linearity, mass effect 2 wins here hands down and it's not because of 'genre'. It takes more effort, thought, and talent to pull off a non-linear story that comes together seamlessly.

ME2 isn't just meant to be an emulated Hollywood experience that UC2 strives to be, ME2 is just so much more superior because it goes beyond that.

Ability to customize characters isn't an exclusive domain of RPG's, non-linear story telling also isn't an exclusive domain of RPG's it's you who'se confused that maybe games don't have to be defined by genre?

Like I said UC2 strives to be an EMULATED movie experience so it becomes more of a watered down version of what you see in the cinema, ME2 on the other hand offercs something that no cinema or movie experience could ever in a million years hope to offer. That's why it's superior.

Wow dead tie 97-97 as I write this post. I know I tried ME when I had a 360 for a couple weeks and I loved it. Now that I have a gaming PC I will be buying ME & ME2 and I'm sure they will be right up there with UC and UC2 as my favorite games this gen. I think bothseries are great and of course might appeal to different gamers even though they both contain 3rd person shooting qualities in them.

Well normally,exclusives are supposed to have better quality than multiplats.

problem here is, most people that vote for u2, havnt played ME2, and vice versa.fifamessi

After having to stay this entire week in SW,I can say that most people already played it.

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"][QUOTE="skinny_man_69"] Yeah Gamecritics (whoever the hell they are) gave the game a 7.5. I read the review: Terrible. They complained about the choices in the game and seemed to actually have a problem with the alien squad mates. They definitely missed the whole point of the game skinny_man_69

I've played and finished both and ME2 is better.

ME2 for 100% sure.

mass effect 2 by a pretty huge difference imo.
