Poll: Ass Creed Rev. or Mass Effect 3

[TheDrunkNinja]

Say what you want about Mass Effect 3, it wasn't a boring trudge with an unengaging plot simply made to pad out the story in between games.

Aside from the ending, ME3 is one of the best single player games I have ever played.

I've never been a fan of the Assasin's Creed series.

You just used the phrase "ass creed" you not a fan, you're a guy who watches too much Zero Punctuation. Man that parody names pisses me off. Anyways, It depends on whether you want RPG-ish or Action Adventure-ish. I don't know if one is superior, but there different so go with the one that seems to have the most fun gameplay.

Buy Fallout: New Vegas GOTY instead?

Tough call. I'd say Mass Effect 3, even though it's very lackluster compared to the previous two games. Also install the Extended Cut DLC so the ending won't be as painful.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

I'd get Assassins Creed. I never liked any of the Mass Effect games.

Hmm, well AC:R is basically Ubisoft just milking the story of Ezio, dont get me wrong, its a pretty good game, but nowhere near the quality of 2, and the multiplayer is exactly the same as AC:B, and you can get through the campaign in about 10 hours. Also the gameplay is incredibly simple, and its like Ubisoft just wanted you to get through fights and climb up buildings as quick as possible (ie, why you get the hookblade and bombs).

With Mass Effect 3 (With extended cut), its a pretty good game, the story just feels like its trying to tell too much, and the story is nowhere near as good as 1 or 2, but the gameplay feels more refined. Multiplayer is alright, but the fact that you need to play it to get a decent ending is a idiotic idea on Biowares part (unless you get pretty much EVERY war asset).

Honestly id go with ME3, neither of the games are spectacular, but i think ME3 wins this one

Depends, What do you like better?
Tower defense in a third person action game or shitty retcons half the players refuse to acknowledge?

To be fair, you only have to do the tower defense once. I finally got around to finishing Revelations a couple weeks ago and only had to do the tutorial version of that minigame. It's easy to avoid.

OT: I'd say Mass Effect 3 feels more new. Revelations is good, but it's really is just more of the same from Brotherhood. And it has some of the most boring characters in the series. No Da Vinci. That other main Assassin dude acts like he's your bro, but he's really not all that interesting. The counter-attack button with the hidden blade is still the win button. And there is only one good platforming challenge. I wish there were more, since those are my favorite things about the series

Mass Effect 3 is a much less copy/pasted from its predecessor. It offers some great characters, some emotional moments, the best combat in the series (with many more options to choose from in terms of weapons and abilities than the second game), fantastic music, and one giant turd of an ending. Take the bad with the great, I guess.

Don't you have some sort of preference, though? You might like both of the series, but what do you feel like playing?

 

[Ascarus]

if you have played ME 1 and 2 you owe it to yourself to play ME3 (with the extended endings).

the endings still leave a lot to be desired, but the rest of the game (for the most part) if fucking outstanding.

revelations was good, but still more of the same with respect to the rest of the series.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

I'm still mad at Revelations for being as crap as it was, after all the amazeballsness of Brotherhood, so go ME3 and it's 98% amazingness. Just be sure to get the ending patch.

**No unmarked spoilers especially with ME3 please. I've managed not to find out so far so no one ruin it.**

Spoiler: Spoiler Tutorial, for those you need it

To hide something in a spoiler box simply type the word "spoiler" surrounded by brackets ([])
so it looks like this--without the spaces.

[ spoiler ]

To end the window, simply do the same as before, but add a slash before the word spoiler--again without the spaces.

[ / spoiler ]

To make spoiler windows with titles or names, in the first set of brackets after the word "spoiler" add an equals sign (=). After the equals everything typed into the brackets will appear as the title--in the spoiler box before it is clicked on.

[ spoiler=This is a ME3 spoiler ]

So I currently find myself with particularly limited funds and time, and torn between to games.
I've been a fan of both series since their first installments. I've just been unable to buy the latest in each. Now I have enough time and money for just one--in part because I'm planning on replaying all the previous ones. My question is: which should I get? Ass Creed Rev (and replay the Ass Creed series) or Mass Effect 3 (and replay the ME series)?

as long as you downlaod the extended cut ME3 is dam near flawless were as AC:R is not worth getting at least not with AC:3 comming out soon and it being much better.(looking that is as i have not played it yet

 

[Catfood220]

I'd go with Mass Effect 3, yeah the ending isn't great, but the rest of the game is fantastic.

As for Assassins Creed: Revelations I have 2 friends who are fans of the series (I got bored gave up after the first couple of missions on Brotherhood) who were both totally underwhelmed by it, in fact one of them had a really hard time finishing it.

Captcha: Blah blah blah. Fuck you captcha.

 

[Andy Shandy]

Mass Effect 3, 99% of that game was fantastic quality, whereas AC:R was nothing but filler and basically instantly forgotten as soon as I finished it, besides the daft tower defence game they crowbar'd in there for whatever reason.

 

[Stealthygamer]

wait for AC3

 

[unindexedsearchengine]

Whichever of the two you played the previous installments of. If both are your first game in the series then neither. If you played all the previous asscreeds and MEs then ME3
