what game has the best universe?

my vote goes to bioshock, rapture is the best world i played in this gen in a video game. it is truly amazing how the city looks and feel great.

Do you mean atmosphere?mrmusicman247

not atmosphere but u can say most creative and impressive world

The Mass Effect universe is my favorite.

World of Warcraft, The Witcher 2, and Crysis.

Those worlds are seriously impressive in all aspects. Also Twilight Princess and Majora's Mask have a great universe. Homefront did also which was mighty impressive. Metro 2033 was also very, very good at this. Mafia 2 also had a great world created.

RDR is impressive, but not interesting in the least bit. Same with GTA4. From seeing many sections of ME2 it was pretty boring.

Super Mario Galaxy

The Mass Effect universe is my favorite.

heretrix

Super Mario Galaxy

TheEpicGoat

yea i forgot about this i should hav added it to the poll. gaalxy is epic

I think Fallout, but at the same time calling a post apocalyptic nuclear wastelande full of death, killing and cannibilism seems like a weird thing to call a great universe.

I love all of them so much, in the following order that I've played:

Fallout 3 (yes I am a heretic, but my fanboy goggles are off)

Fallout 2

Fallout: New Vegas

Fallout

Fallout Tactics

Fallout 1 should probably be higher up, but it had the oddest bugs and felt the slowest pace. I was also mixed on the timer since I love the urgency it brought, but always felt anxious when playing, which I generally don't like feeling.

Mass Effect series in my opinion.

Most creative universe would be Super Mario Galaxy 2 and the Rayman games

Most detailed and best atmosphere would be the Metroid games for me

Guilty Gear.

Super Robot Wars.

I can't count how many times I have read/listened to the codex.

And with that I say Mass Effect, it's like a modern day Star Wars

warhammer, or half lifeEspereful

warhammer universe sucks in videogame form

just world (environment) or the lore and such too? Does it have to be an open world type game (I will assume so)?

This gen:

Mass Effect

Red Dead Redemption

Past gens:

Super Metroid

Ocarina of Time

A Link to The Past

Majoras Mask

Wind Waker

Metroid Prime

Castlevania DoS

Diablo

and more

World of Warcraft.

Warhammer AoR and Space Marine are really freakin' sweet.

Mass Effect (2). I wanted to visit it :PSaltyMeatballs

I consider Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri to not only have the best sci fi universe in a video game, but also the best video game universe in general.

only gotta hope we find alien tech on mars

Mass Effect. It is essentially a combination of Star Trek and Star Wars... but without all the inconsistencies, and has the potential to grow into something grand. The attention to detail that has been invested into every little aspect of the technology, science, history, geography and anthropological aspects is quite unmatched. And the secondary source material (Karpyshyn's novels especially) add even more to the universe.foxhound_fox

You completly beat me to it Fox. If there was one universe I wihs I could visit, and mingle among its populace, this is it.

Halo hands down. To me nothing compares to Halo's back story.

if only it was real, I do hope they make a prequal, it would be cool to see what humans had as ships before finding the alien craft

Homeworld 1 and 2. Pity that they haven't expanded them much, if at all, over the past decade.

Halo's universe is the best.

Brütal Legend.

Aworld full ofmetal... that's where I'd like to live.

TC that is an awful poll

Diablo and Starcraft pre Starcraft 2 get my vote, maybe Warcraft aswell, it can be pretty damn good at times

Kingdom Hearts, cuz I like Disney.
