DA2 was bad (Well, worse than the original) pretty much throughout. ME3 was awesome (Well, more or less - but you can't disagree it had a lot of great moments and the gameplay, imo, is improved) up until the last 5 minutes or so. So for me DA2 was much more of a letdown.

[Eludicous]

Me3 was the bigger letdown. Da2 was an average game and I knew it wasn't going to be a favourite of mine. Still don't like what they did with the elves...

But ME3 is still miles ahead of DA2 in quality.

Why do I keep constantly being in agreeance with you on most points?

I'm far more invested in Mass Effect, so ME3 is a far greater let down than DA2. In fact, I was not too disappointed in DA2 because I had no expectations and I enjoyed the characters within the game, The ending of ME3 is just a sucker punch that I still can't reconcile with the rest of the series.

Before playing DA2 I knew it had ok reviews so I didn't expect much. Before playing ME3 I was expecting a flawless game that gave me the same epic feeling that ME2 did...and when it didn't, the dissappointment was greater.

[Lozark]

ME3, although I think DA2 is a worse game.  I was much, much more invested with the Mass Effect characters and setting.  There were times when I looked at the squad select screen or ran around the Normandy and just wanted to hug all of the characters, even Jacob, because they felt like *my squad*

DA2 was at least consistent in quality and tone throughout. It let you know what it was going to be like in the first hour or so, and there weren't any egregious violations of the setting or characters (Anders, uh, is up for debate), even if the game was... eh.  It was eh.  'Eh' does not inspire people to break out the torches and pitchforks, I guess.  There's parts I like, parts I don't like, but nothing that makes me feel like the game just punched me in the gut.

Although if there ends up being a RetakeDragonAge movement down the line, they have my completely unnecessary blessing.

This is like the 3rd thread comparing these two, I did one also... I can tell you right now, 90% of people will say ME3.

Edit: Me included.

ME3, because DA2 had Merrill.

And, really, I liked DA2. It wasn't DA:O, but I'm OK with that. After all, I play a Bioware game not for the gameplay, but the story, and I liked what they were doing there.

And was beyond disappointed in ME3, with that ending that pretty much negated all that had happened before.

You have great taste, that's what it is. Obviously.

ME3

My only real complaint about Dragon Age 2 was the cookie cutter dungeons.

ME3

[Rhiens VI]

I liked DA2, including the ending. Sure, some things felt forced. Like, the mage boss turning on you no matter what, just for the sake of another boss fight. However, DA2 is obviously meant to be an intermediate game, it was meant to introduce a new conflict, and in my opinion, it succeeded.

ME3 is a different story. Advertised as the last chapter in Shepard saga, where all your decisions play out in an epic way... The end felt unfulfilling and cheap.

So yeah, DA2 ending was fine, ME3... not so much.

[Hendrik.III]

DA2 was "meh" all over, it wasn't the end to a trilogy and it didn't get so much pre-launch attention as ME3. So basically I wasn't as shocked as I was with ME3.

All these variables and all they did was cameo them. The advertising and marketing was blatantly false, and they dare insult our intelligence by saying we don't understand their "art".

Well, this "cultural barbarian" is fed-up with that haughty rethoric. No more BS.

[TexasToast712]

 Neither. I think ME3 and DA2 are freaking awesome. Yea, the ME3 ending was depressing but the game was still awesome. Also, get over your hatred for DA2, people. It isn't as bad a game as people make it out to be.

[Pelle6666]

DA2 never got my hopes up... it was bad from the start. ME3 was such a fantastic game until the final five minutes. I'd say that DA2 was in all a bigger let down since it made me loose interest in the DA universe but the ME3's ending was just so terrible and unforgivably stupid that I'd say that I was far more pissed off and broken down by it then DA2. At least you could imagine some kind of closure for Hawk, even if I didn't care half as much about him as a character as I did for Shepard.

[crimzontearz]

never bought DA2

I promised that if the game did not have NG+ I was not buying it...thus once it was confirmed that there was indeed no NG+ I did not buy it

[Hogge87]

Because I looked forward to ME3, ME3 is the biggest let down.
DA2 was however a much worse game IMO.

[Aerevane]

DA2 was an okay game; I replayed it twice and I actually thought it was pretty much okay (though not the BioWare standard). It was just a bit lame that they recycled the area's so bloody much, which in the long run ruined replay ability for me (again those mines with the same layout only differing in a couple of prefab cement walls to block the way?). ME3 was great, the ending was just too limited in it's scope of explanation - leaving too many questions unanswered.

Has to be it!

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

hmmm thats a tricky one but I suppose DA2 as it was just awful really really really really, really awful

but only the end sucks in Me3

so yeah DA2 I choose you

[cogsandcurls]

The thing is, my passion for games lies in the characters and the narratives. (I'M GOING TO SPOIL DA2 IN THIS POST)

Say what you like about the execution of the 3 big events at the end of DA2 - they were all foreshadowed in all three acts. The lyrium idol has been doing it's thing for three acts, Anders has gradually been getting more desperate and radical, and Orsino has been helping that stupid Orlesian blood mage who helped get your mum killed. So every single thing in that ending, though it may seem to come out of left field, does NOT suddenly appear in the last 10 minutes. ME3: see Starchild.

Also, DA2's strength was it's characters and it KNEW it. Hawke's family and friends were the best thing about that game, and the end of the game kept the emphasis on them, their worldviews and their relationships to the main protagonist (especially if one of your siblings is still alive and PARTICULARLY if they're templar or circle mage, and also if you didn't lock any of the companion's friendships/rivalries down). ME3 dumps the characters by the wayside the minute the Elevator To Heaven appears, including Shepard.

Also, as a framing device? Varric and Cassandra >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Storytime with Grandpa. (Hey, we knew Varric, it played around with the unreliable narrator nicely throughout, and it didn't just throw the framing device out of nowhere right at the end with no context.)

Me3 in all

I did not have any problems with DA2 I like DA2 enjoyed it(except the dungeon repeat thing).
Its sad that nothing will come new for DA2.

But ME3 is the hugest letdown in all from game design to story.If not for the characters from ME1 and ME2 there is no reason to buy ME3, there are better games.
Its feels sometimes like one big giant plot hole that has eaten ME1 and ME2.

[Fisto The Sexbot]

I don't see how you could compare the two; Mass Effect 3 is much better. Saying Mass Effect 3 is a worse game is just giving in to bias of recent events and lacking in perspective.

[LilyasAvalon]

DA2 was just overall bad, ME3 was pretty damn good until the last 10 minutes, so ME3 was a greater let down.
