Uncharted 2 vs. Mass Effect 2 (POLL)
This topic is locked from further discussion.
One simple reason why Mass Effect 2 is better..............it uses more of the freedom that the gaming medium allows than UC2 when it comes to storytelling. Not only that ME is a credible scifi universe which has three novels, a comic book, and even an upcoming movie. Its also smarter than Star Wars and braver than Star Trek. Generation defining gaming series.texasgoldrush
Ok good post until the massive fail at the end. You're telling me the videogame universe that is so obviously gone out of its way to rip off(or make homages and references for people to sensative to hear such a "mean" word) of sci-fi titans like Star Wars, Star Trek, Aliens, Bladerunner, Attack of the Body Snatchers, Terminator, and countless other scifi movies and books is a "smarter" than Star Wars and "braver" than Star Trek?
I'll give you better written than Star Wars, but the rest of it just deserves a :lol: and

I never said better than Star Wars or Star Trek........just smarter (Star Wars)and braver (Star Trek).
Except for maybe KOTOR II and The Old Republic (by Bioware...lol), the Star Wars universe is black and white, good and evil. Its hardly shades of gray. The prequel movies were below average in its intellegence and script as well and the Original Trilogy has its silly moments.
Star Trek on the other hand is smart, but extremely idealistic. In 95% of episodes, idealism wins and every goes back the way it was. Not that there isn't any dark moments and DS9 should be credited for stepping out of Gene Roddenbery's idealistic vision as many times Sikso can sacrifice idealism for the greater good. The Mass Effect universe is far darker, in a way, its the opposite of Roddenbury's vision.
It is true that they pay homage to many scifi movies, but they do bring the intellengence and the emotional resonance on their own.

Mass Effect is the epitome of black and white, with very little grey. There is an obvious good versus evil system. Paragon vs Renegade is essentially two sides of the same coin, and so much of the series is overturned by how little some choices mean. The council wether you save them or die will still be just as dumb as ever in ME2. That turian council member has no ideals of his own, he's just there in the games story to make you hate him wether you kill the rachni or not. Which is the most simple question of all time. Genocide or no Genocide. One where its painfully obvious.and intelligence and emotional resonance of their own? pfft this Bioware and videogames we are speaking here. From a hard science standpoint, to depth, to writing Star Trek owns Mass Effect in more ways than one. The series is good, well fleshed out, well written, and all that fun stuff especially for a videogame. But it couldn't hold the jockstraps of far superior scifi universes out there. Forget homages too much of it is flat out ripoffs. and hell theres much better to the elites of scifi than just star trek or star wars.
Uncharted is the better game.
