Are we done, Fruit? I don't feel like wasting my time with you any longer.

Well, DA2 was FAR worse. That being said, ME3 was a much bigger letdown.

My expectations for ME3 were way larger than for DA2.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall...

Still, ME3 is amazing up until the end. Dragon Age 2 was consistently horrible. I gave up on DA2 an hour or so in.

[Larryboy_Dragon]

Interesting question!

DA2 by a long shot.

ME3 was okay, other than the ending. The other parts of the game were okay, and ME2 meant we knew what to expect.
DA2 was f***ed up all the way through.

[Mbednar]

Wow. All the people saying ME3. Jeeze. Even if ya hate the ending, the rest of the game was awesome. Yes there were some issues but nothing that game breaking.

And yeah, the ending can make the entire game seem bitter upon reflection but wow.

DA2 without question for me. The storytelling and character building was good, but the "actiony" gameplay, recycled dungeons, enemies appearing and respawning out of thin air, ect, really made me hate that game.

[Valk72]

DA2 was okay, and it had closure, something ME2 doesn't have.

[Nightwriter]

ME3, easily.

ME3 lulled me into a state of vulnerability with excellent writing, then sucker punched me with a crippling blow that came out of nowhere. The fact that it was so good up until that point is what made the endings so ghastly. To use an overly dramatic analogy: it made me trust it and then it betrayed me.

DA2 was pretty consistent with its atypical storyline from start to finish, I knew what I was getting into. I didn't have a bad reaction to the ending. Hawke was a kind of spectator of history, and this was the case at the beginning just as much as the end.

ME3 is the biggest gaming letdown I've ever experienced.

[Mesmurae]

Although I think ME3 is better than DA2, ME3 was definitely the biggest letdown. For such a wonderful series to fall flat on it's face in the final minutes is utterly disappointing.

[The Almighty Ali]

ME3, With Dragon Age 2 I could kinda see it coming from the first screen shots and gameplay videoes that this wouldn't be as great as Origins, that said while it has flaws it's not horrible.

With ME3 however it came out of the blue and at the very end too boot. Everything in the game geared you up for this great epic battle and you couldn't wait to see how your choices would affect the ending, it held a huge quality throughout the game, then in the final five minutes you get such a kick in the family granters that the next two generations might've feel the sting.

For mainly those who are disappointed or upset about ME3- ()

I myself used to be very invested in DAO, I think I lost that investment in the Dragon Age series when they brought on "internet" celebrities like Felicia Day into the franchise, so when I started playing DA2 for the first time, I wasn't so much angry, as it was the final last few drops to put out a candle of hope.  (I still never actually finished DA2, but I can't bring myself to sell it either. Perhaps I'm lying to myself thinking I'll finish it someday.)

I'm working on a bigger piece of review for ME3, but just to suffice for this thread, ME3 was a larger, and more subtler letdown, in a way that I realized how unsatisfied I was at the grand end to the trilogy days after having finished it.

Seconds after finishing ME1, I immediately rushed into a 4 hour session of NG+.    Even with ME2 and Termy the Terminator, I still went into NG+ after watching the ending, wondering what the end mission would look like if I was a lazy incompetent commander. And then ME3.

ME3 was a larger letdown than DA2 because of the scripted background conversations in place of ALL full dialog side missions/quests. 

Which is it for those of you who played through both?

Mass Effect 3...

[durdensbuddy]

ME3, but then I actually enjoyed the gameplay of DA2. And although, I don't know that I agree with the story telling choices BW made in DA2, it was a lets break the traditional here's an epic quest trope. I actually like that it's just some dude's life. I realize I'm a minority on that.

Or put in a completely different way, when I finished DA2 I did not seriously consider giving up gaming as a hobby. ME3 made me ponder that possibility

[Grimez7]

ME3(I never played DA2 )

[lyssalu]

LOL ME3

[CELL55]

ME3's ending was a bigger disappointment because everything that was before it was so fantastic. The ending was also far worse than anything else in DA2.
DA2 wasn't that great from the beginning to be honest. So when I eventually got to the end of the railroaded story, I wasn't as surprised. It wasn't the slap in the face out of nowhere that ME3's ending was, though.

[Thetri]

Dragon Age 2. I complained about more things with that game then I did with ME3.

[TheCrakFox]

I was already well aware of DA2's issues before I played it, so I guess I'll have to say ME3.
Still, I was hoping to see at least one new level, jeez.

[Anzer]

Dragon Age II, certainly. It was much less enjoyable than Dragon Age.

Mass Effect 3 was fantastic.

[legion999]

ME3.

The auto dialogue, crap journal and lack of side missions degrades the game. It feels unpolished and rushed. But the ending... imagine the previous problems as small inch long pieces of fecal matter. The ending is a sewer compared to them.

[Iakus]

 My expectations for DA2 were a lot lower.  I knew going in that they were going to try different things:  new hero, new setting, new art style, a new frame for the story, and so on.  I didn't let my love of DAO affect FA2 because they were clearly diferent animals.  In the end, the game wasn't great, but it maintained a rather consistent degree of mediocrity.  In the end, I wasn't let down.

ME3 was a punch in the gut since for a time it looked like it was going to wrap up the trilogy in a far more  than satisfactory way.  It was truly taking the best of both games.  Then the ending hit.  And all the good that was in the game until that point only emphasized the sheer badness that is the ending. 

[Adam2190]

Dragon Age 2 by a long shot for me, i expected an Origins sequel and got a very lazy product. Mass Effect 3 only let me down at the end and i haven't forgot how much fun i had in the 40+ hours prior to completing it.

Despite the al the wrong headed complaints of consolification the game play was better. The advancement system, not so much; it was actually deeper and more complex (as opposed to simpler and colsolofied as often claimed) but much less fun. However having just played DA:O through the sheer face palm moments of watching my character run up to a moving enemy, stop to hit them while they run out of range was fresh in my mind. DA2, better game play. The shift to a more defined Shepard style protagonist I liked. The default male I deeply admired his beard though it made me melancholy as I know I can not grow one as fine. I also like much of the changes to the visual feel of the world, it felt more distinct rather than generic medieval fantasy setting. I however from a technology perspective I preferred the lighting in DA:O. These common complaint about DA2 did not bother me.

What did bother me was one hub. Just as it looked like the game world was going to open up in the middle. NO! You have to go back to that city, I don't even recall what is was called and don't care to look it up. Where DA:O felt big and epic, DA2 felt constrained and irrelevant. AND THE BUGS! "Thumbs up" anyone? For such major and obvious bugs they should have been caught in QA and they should have been resolved much more promptly. For the majority of time I was playing DA2 it felt abundantly clear I was playing an inferior game to DA:O.

ME3 however for the majority of the time it felt like a superior game. I had heard about the ending. I thought it was entitled fans winning for unicorn and nauseating saccharine scene of blue babies. I thought when I actually got to it I would see the writers perspective. When I got to it I was shocked by just how bad it was. That's a bitter pill to swallow but it doesn't change the days of fun I had leading up to that.

So the bigger disappointment, DA2 by a large margin.

[3Minotaur3]

Can't says DA2 is a let down for me, because I don't have it.
I did with DA2 the exact opposite of ME3: I didn't preorder and I waited for feedbacks/Metacritics before thinking of buying it...

That said, with the experience and feedback on both games, and the dust settling, I think DA2 is the bigger letdown for me. I'll probably never play DA2 (unless maybe if it's available for next to nothing, so I can see for myself how bad it really is), but I have done a few replays of ME3 (all stopped before the end, usually before or after the Cerberus Illusive Man base Mission) and I played the multiplayer part more often that I though I'd do...

[Asharad Hett]

DA2 was just crap from the beginning, so I was never emotionally invested. Nor did it mesh well with DA:O, so aside from the $50 wasted, I just didn't care.

As for ME3, I cared greatly about the characters, the galaxy, and the outcome. It was the biggest gaming letdown ever.

[dashadeishot]

DA2 was the biggest let down for me it was a bad game from start to finish. ME3 was only bad cuz of the ending, i enjoyed everything else
