I was looking forward to both the games but FF13 just didnt live up to expectations as it was just so linear and you could simply win all the fights by scanning the enemy and then just mashing the X button and occasionally changing paradigm and drinking potions when necessary. Im afraid FF13 felt like a grind in that sense and I never really felt the story or characters either. However ME2 was alot better with a fantastic story that you really felt deep in and characters that you actually cared about. Also the action was much more fun with a bit of 3PS and some great skills to upgrade and interesting places to visit. It was just great to play through and a game I could easily play again unlike FF13. But thats just my opinion although I think Fallout: New Vegas will be even better than these as I loved Oblivion/Fallout 3 and just like Bethesdas game engine and style of making games.

First off, women dnt play video games, they are to busy cooking and cleaning. SECOND, Bioware has a battle system that requires in depth skill and strategy. Dragon age itself rapes FF, so therefore, add the futuristic aspect of ME, its another brilliant bioware RPG. not some pokemon looking bs. Who cares if its HD, its the story that counts in RPGs. For example. FPS: CODMW2=good graphics BUT BFBC2=Better gameplay therefore, BFBC2 wins, who gives a shit if a bush looks a tad bit better. Ummmm, to the david kid, youre an idiot.

The depth, charasma, interaction, and over appeal of ME is second to none along with a story that hasn't gripped the soul of humanity since the original Star Wars. But that is something mature gamers take appeal to, a game that has depth and choice. FF is a game that you just end up being along for the ride where as ME you are the driver. Each time you play ME you are the main character. Don't get me wrong FFXIII is a beautiful game and is a great change of pace but how many times can you play it over and over and still feel that rush and new intrique. ME has hit something new in the RPG world and it will change it forever, good or bad, and if you want something to stimulate you play ME, if you just want to watch a HD movie play FF.

Plus it gets larger with DLC's while FF13 stays the same linear story. I choose ME2. Plus it gets larger with DLC’s while FF13 stays the same linear story.

If you argue about the fanbase's look at the comments. Everyone who picked FF whatever is in the negative ratings. So just for all you FF whatever fan's, mass effect is flat out 100 hundred times the game. Congratulations Bioware on the RPG of the year.

Mass Effect had great rpg elements..2. Mass Effect have by far the most SHITTIEST sound effects for the guns & its not flashy. In conclusion, never have I seen such disrespect to such an established franchise. 1. Mass Effect had great rpg elements..2.
