Well, this is surely a hard choice, both of them are surely the two best series this gen. Yeah, even better than Gears of War and Assassins Creed series....(For sheeps who wants to say Mario Galaxy series, please no, it's still a Mario series....)

So which one is better?

For me, Mass Effect 1 is clearly better than Uncharted 1

But Uncharted 2 is clearly better than Mass Effect 2, I said it because Mass Effect 2 has poor level design, all you had to do is walking in corridor fighting robot enemies while hiding in the covers...as for Uncharted...man, the level design is surely breathtaking and amazing, shooting in the moving platform is clearly different than shooting in a level that standing still....Mass Effect 2 should learn from Uncharted 2 in terms of level design

So which series is better?

For me, it's a tie

Yeah, Mass Effect 1 is better than Uncharted 1 and Mass Effect 2 definitely one of the best game this generation.

But Uncharted 2 is on a whole different level. The game is so awesome and the level design had many variety, something that Mass Effect 1 and 2 didn't have

If we're talking about the game, it will be Uncharted 2 > Mass Effect 2 > Mass Effect > Uncharted

So, what say you?

I'd go with Mass Effect because I find the story to much more epic and intense.

But I love both.

Both had a crappy start, but the follow ups were very well done. Personally I enjoy Uncharted 2 more. The action is just a lot more fun, and the multiplayer is a bit of a guilty pleasure. ME2 is pretty good though.

Uncharted. Mass Effect suffers from a lot of stupid crap. Like the stiff movement mechanics, meh level design, and every time I want to talk to a crew member they assume I want to **** them.

Are you comparing them because ME plays more like a shooter than a RPG? :P If that's the case, Uncharted destroys Mass Effect.

Mass Effect is still a WRPG (despite being a stripped down shooter) so this comparison is not right.

Mass Effect for me. It all started with the first book for me. I really love the tech and society created by Bioware. Love Uncharted as well, but I guess I love Sci Fi more than treasure hunting.

Agree with you here. Mass Effect has huge potential. Its not a bad game but suffers from the stiff gameplay, and boring as hell level design. Also the animations are last gen.

Both are totally comparable. They both end with one of the stupidest boss fights of their respective year

[spoiler] hell Uncharted 2s stupid final boss fight is even better than ME2s stupid boss fight. I mean lazaravich is lame, but he's not Giant Terminator lame [/spoiler]

I enjoy the Mass Effect games much more. To be fair though, I enjoy the Mass Effect games much more than most games this gen.

Mass Effect series. Uncharted is like going to watch Die Hard. Its fun, stupid, filled with one liners, betrayals and cowboyishness. Mass Effect is like watching Lord of the Rings, filled with some corny moments and overdone emotions but often able to hit home in a way that other movie blockbuster series do not.

While you're at it, let's compare Edgar Allan Poe's poems to the piece of chocolate cake I'm eating.

Sorry, but your comparison is not only unfeasible, it has some dubious statements in it. Certainly better than Gears of War, Assassin's Creed, and Super Mario Galaxy ("it's still a Mario game", what the hell does this mean?")? Nothing's certain.

Poe's poems are dark like the coloring of the chocolate cake your eating.

I find Edgar Allan Poe highly overrated, and I think that the piece of chocolate cake you're eating is the best of the two.

[spoiler] The giant mechanical boss at the end was lame, I agree. Atleast they had a good reason as to why it looked like that. At first I thought it looked like that mutated blob Tetsuo becomes at the end of Akira albeit without the flesh and blood. Atleast Shambala looked great :P [/spoiler]

I'm actually quite fond of Poe, specially his mystery novels. The imaginary (you see, I had to make something up to establish an absurd comparison) piece of cake is quite good, though.

Don't ever compare LOTR to Mass Effect :x LOTR is in a league of its own that Mass Effect can never reach.

And Uncharted is more like Indiana Jones :P

I can see a comparison between LoTR the movies and Mass Effect the Game. The movies were great, don't get me wrong, but they don't hold a candle to the books.

At first I thought you were comparing it to "The Last Crusade" and then I saw the edit. Let's pretend "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" didn't exist shall we?

Can't compare because I never played Mass Effect, but am I the only one who felt that Uncharted 2's story was dragged? I mean it was just long and inconsistent. How do I go from battling soldiers to giant werewolf Yettie's who turned out to be mutant humans, to mutant tribal men all to finish the game by battling a mutant commando on a power trip in the lost forest of eternal life within the lost city of mutant tribal men protected by the mutant humans dressed as giant werewolf like Yetties's? Sorry for the spoilers, but for those who haven't played Uncharted 2 yet and want to know if it's worth there time just imagine the last Indiana Jones movie(the one with the aliens) was turned into a video game developed by naughty dog.

Not that they're entirely comparable, Uncharted 2 probably does have stronger gameplay than Mass Effect 2. The Mass Effect series has this really intricate universe with great characters though, and I think the story is much stronger. Not to mention I actually enjoyed the mechanics and tech found throughout both Mass Effects (even though they changed it). So as a whole, I'd say the Mass Effect series.

To different to compare, yet I prefer to play an Uncharted game. Mostly cause the gameplay is what matters most, and is better in Uncharted.

The only similarity I see is that both games are supposed to be of a certain genre(U2 action adventure, ME2 RPG) but both can easily end up being defined as TPS.

That said I prefer Mass Effect series over Uncharted series so far.

the quality of both are very close. However, I think ME1 was better than UC1. UC1 got stale a few hours before the end.

Well I got over 200 hours of UC2 and only 40 hours of ME2 so I guess I have to say that the Uncharted series is superior. Realistically I felt Uncharted has better movie like qualities and holds your attention better than ME but isn't as deep. The problem I have with ME is the boredom of mining for minerals which almost made me quit the game. Also lots of the side missions weren't too varied and lacked any depth like the main mission. Overall I prefer Uncharted due to not only play an epic SP game but also play co-op.

I'll go with Uncharted here, I like the characters better, and since both games are basically third person shooters gunplay matters a lot, and Uncharted is much better than Mass Effect in that aspect. Then not to mentioned Uncharted is the better polished game. And the multiplayer is actually very fun, especially co-op.
