ME still has the greatest lore. They did destroy it for the future, but at least we have 2 great games and third great in 90% to enjoy.

I put ME on the same level as Star Wars - SW was perfect until Ewoks showed up, and you can say the same about ME and God Brat.

I love Mass Effect much more than Halo. I dunno any other great video game sci-fi universes. Does fallout 3/nv qualify as sci-fi?

[ImmovableMover]

Mass Effect still wins this competition by far, even if the end was a turd in the centre of an otherwise delicious cake.

Should I try to find KOTOR, even though it's outdated?

Yes!

It's on steam, and while the horrible graphics and outdated combat system take a little getting used to, once you adjust, it really is a fantastic game.

Halo and Dead Space are pretty good; need to replay Halo 1-3 for 4. Revan is probably my favorite Star Wars character, but regardless. I still will say Mass Effect is. Just because the ending sucks doesn't ruin it completely. Look at Star Trek, it is still great but some the films are kinda crap. I vote Mass Effect still is. For now anyway.

[StElmo]

I can't play any of the games after this ending, because every time they mention reapers, I get depressed.

Anyway, prolly KOTOR

Half-life... DAMN YOU number 3! I need you.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but I loved Mission Critical!

Halo? ARE ****ING HAVING ME ON?

Until there is another game in space but only better and different to Mass effect and is a RPG, then I won't be happy.

Dude, you should go play KOTOR. Its a true Bioware masterpiece in my opinion, it has the best storyline you'll ever experience within the Star Wars universe.

Star control would be my favorite sci fi followed by free space. Oldies but goodies. Mass egfect you made me sad.

[Zaalbar]

I think Mass Effect wins this one despite the turd that is the ending that has possibly killed the franchise for many. There is still 100+hrs or pure Sci fi goodness.

What is halo's back story, does it start with the books or the games? I liked halo 3, but that was the first and only halo game I've played, and I will admit that the story was good.

However, requiring I get the books, outside franchise games, and other things to get the halo universe story is a pretty big let down.

oh well, that's what youtube and wiki's are for I guess. I'll check it out and see if it clicks the way mass effect did.

[legion999]

Fallout.

[Icinix]

I would have to say Halo too, Starcraft is good, even old Wing Commander was good until the 5th one.

Funny thing, all three of those maintained the same basic things through all of them and they were awesome.

I think Mass Effect suffered too much of an identiy crisis and kept shifting what it wanted to be between the three games, in the end, it lost what made it special.

[Tommy6860]

Mass Effect blows Halo away. But from an FPS aspect, Halo re-invented the genre. Don't get me wrong, the Halo storyline is great, but the game never offered so much behind the story of why Halo was to be, for want of a better comparison.

Fallout never really had that deep of a storyline. But then again, Mass effect isn't the RPG that Fallout is either.

[Tietj]

I still love Mass Effect! I'd have to give Dead Space second place though, it's really a lot of fun. And has anyone played Binary Domain? It came out about a week before ME3, it isn't set in space but it's much better sci-fi than it has any right to be.

[Baryonic-Member]

Halo definitely has a bigger and IMO better backstory, but much of that is only covered by external media and isn't in the games. So I have to say the ME games are better, but the Halo lore is deeper than ME lore.

[PhotonMaze]

In my personal opinion, Mass Effect doesn't just win as my favourite sci-fi video game series of all time, it is my favourite video game series in any genre of all time and even probably my favourite series in any artistic medium of all time.

Basically, it's better than any other series I know of.

I need to ask YOU something Alan and I need to know this and not some PR BS (I honestly have gotten enough of that, not from Bioware though but some other company)

Does EA actually affect anything with the games created by Bioware?

I loved Mass Effect 1 and Dragon Age Origins (I have all the DLC for both series, excluding DA2 might get those if there is an Ultimate Edition like DAO)

Many things were changed in ME2 from ME1 and DA2 from DAO that just seemed (not saying it was just it is hard to see things from the dev side when I am not a dev) if there was another year involved in the making of it then it would have turned out significantly better.

I mean that in Mass Effect 2 instead of fixing the problems with the inventory system and vehicle exploration they were just removed completely (with the latter being added back in a small way via DLC) and DA2 had many bugs at launch (including the Witch Hunt plot flag that was never fixed, and wasn't there a patch in DAO that autosaved after your choice just for DA2?)

So, to reitterate, does EA affect anything with the development of games as even other companies seem to change after being purchased by EA. Not trying to sound rude or anything, just curious since there are always rumors but I just want to learn the facts.


--------------------------------

On topic though:

For the Sci-Fi Genre, I have been with Halo for a long time (longer than Mass Effect) so I got to say that would be number one, than Mass Effect's (as a whole not just picking on the ending and a few bit of cliches) and then Dead Space's.

Mass Effect is still one of the best sci fi ... greatest in my list

[The Mythical Magician]

Gotta go with Metroid..

[Provo_101]

I really, really love the concept and lore of EVE. Which is kinda sad because I can just NEVER bring myself to play it. I tried four times! Each time getting a little farther than the last, but just got overwhelmed and didn't know what the **** I was doing... I suppose I expected it to be like the trailers, and it is to some extent... but damn... dat spreadsheet. The stories I've heard about EVE make me want to get into it REALLY badly. Massive scams? Heists? Spying on other corporations, infiltrating them, getting into their good graces and then robbing them blind? And it's all FAIR GAME?!!?!?! I can make ACTUAL money with EVE money?!

That is heaven for someone like me... uhh.. y'know.. because its.. umm.. interesting...

I like what little mythos we've seen of Dead Space, even though I wouldn't like living in a universe on the verge of a nightmarish cluster**** of mutated corpses who get their kicks by mutilating everything in sight, I imagined what the Sprawl was like BEFORE the Necromorph fiasco. Its even possible for something like that to happen in the Mass Effect universe if you think about it, so many different stories in all three ME games happen outside of Shepard's. Imagine being one of the scientists on Luna during the Rogue VI mission, or the crew on the "ghost ship" mission in ME1, stuff like that.

Star Wars is a given lore wise, but I had a really strange love for PodRacer, I LOVED that ****! Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is in my top ten as well, dunno why, I guess I just liked the pseudo sandbox aspect of it, Coruscant in that game was amazing. I'm still not sure what universe I'd want to live in between Mass Effect and Star Wars, being a freighter captain Han Solo style in Star Wars is calling me...
