Bleh. Mass Effect was garbage.



DA:O's been fun, though.

Because of the profound effect Dragon age has had on me I purchased Mass effect and also pre-ordered Mass effect 2, unfortunately I couldn't find Dragon age 2 for pre-order, maybe I am a little to early.

I honestly didn't like ME.

There was basically one main storyline that felt rushed ( ignore all the side stuff, and just do the main quest, I finished it in under a day, and it honestly was not that special except for the bits with Saren, if we didn't need to level up Shepard, you could literally take out pretty much everything in between, and it wouldn't matter to the storyline. Try doing that with Dragon Age and it doesn't work so well ), and then a handful of other minor stuff smothered by the weight of the idiotic planet landing sequences that were no different from each other.

None of the characters are memorable, the Krogar ( Kroxigar? Whatever ) was amusing, and I kind of remember him, but he was the only one, most of the others are easily forgettable, not really all that interesting, and honestly bothered me more then made me care about them ( No I don't care about your headaches, and why are you wanting to get into the sack the second I said hello to you blue chick and human chick? )

I tend to be OCD about doing everything in my games, and I burned out each time I tried getting to the end of ME, due to the just totally un-fun planet gathering feature, and really felt let down by the lack of actual story/immersion/world I normally get from Bioware games. The ending was good, but well, the rest just didn't feel like all that much fun, and the gameplay just didn't feel right to me. I mean, it just didn't feel like a full game at all, especially not compared to stuff like Dragon Age, KotOR1, or BG.

Mass effect easily. I am a sucker for si-fi and cyberpunk games that actually do get to feel "right". Mass effect for me was the best flawed game i had played the year it was out but its flaws were just plain transparent because something else was done properly and that was its atmosphere and sense of place in its world. In other words it felt "right" and played as such. Add the fact that you could be a real bastard if you wanted to and an excellent cast of characters and we are all set.



DAO is only good enough the first time you play through it. Once the novelty wears off (and it does so pretty quickly) the game has really nothing to remember the game by. DAO will only prove a station of a game to first time RPGes and younger audiences only because in reality its really not that polished from the "inside".

Dragon Age is 10000000 times better than Mass Effect. And I liked Mass Effect.



But Dragon Age's got a better story, better dialogues, a much better setting (medieval fantasy > scifi future), and a gameplay style that suits my tastes a lot more than Mass Effect's semi-fps approach.

[marshalleck]

I love sci-fi enough to overlook ME's flaws.

I doubt that I will return to DAO as many times as I did ME (10 times), and once ME2 is out I probably won't revisit DAO for years. There are just too many fantasy games, and I'm completely burned out on elves and dragons despite this being a very good game. Science fiction just appeals to me more, and Mass Effect  is a brilliant science fiction game.

I have a similar problem with novels. I tend to remember even the most minor details, so once I have all permutations of the story in my head, I can no longer derive any enjoyment from repetition until it is no longer fresh in my mind. It usually takes several years for me to return to a favorite novel or game. ME is unique for me in that regard; I am just irrationally drawn to it for reasons I am still somewhat unaware of.

I just don't want to bother with mass effect.. not sure why.. but it is something within me saying it is not my exact style... more into Ancient Fantasy lore RPG wise, though got a tendency for sci-fi as well but yet that has to be more specific areas.. games like Eve Online or whatever.



Would not mind playing an RPG that has both futuristic/ancient elements in it though.. as weird as I might be... but hehe that is me... very limited and in general personal exotic taste in what I am going to waste a hell of alot of time on as it is.

[LunSei Sleidee]

I think probably it all comes down to: if you like sci-fi more, you like Mass Effect more. If you like medieval settings more, you like Dragon Age more.

[Majspuffen]

Both games are great, but I prefer the genre in Dragon Age. I can't say which is better, as they are both good in their own ways.

Exactly!

I prefer sci-fi over fantasy,so I am much more interested in the Mass effect universe.

It doesn't change the fact that both game are flawed and in need of improvement.Mass effect suffered from a sidequest standpoint,especially the dreaded uncharted worlds. I expected so much more from those,especially in terms of variety or unique monsters.

The game didn't have enough bosses...

Characters weren't as interesting and dialogue was ok at best.I think the setting is more intereresting than the incredibly generic Dragon age world.Although Mass effect suffered somewhat from being a generic and sterile sci-fi world as well. 

Combat was hit and miss,but Mass effect 2 will vastly improve upon the original.

Quite frankly,Mass effect 2 should easily blow out of the water ME and DA:O.It remain to be seen how Bioware can improve upon Dragon age,since there's definitively a lot of hidden potential with the tools in place(just as I knew Mass effect had a ton of potential).

Dragon Age: Origins



The setting, the combat system, the dialogues, everyting was just... better.

[Talogrungi]

Loved both, but of the two I'd say Mass Effect.

It's just so much more fun actually hearing my character talk.

Mass Effect wasn't enjoyable as an RPG because honestly, it lacked depth. I can't consider a game that I did everything for and completed in under thirty hours to be an RPG. All that considered, it's still my favorite 360 game.

DA:O is something else though, and rivals The Witcher for the place as my favorite RPG of this generation. Although I still abhor the setting and loathe any fantasy with elves and such, it was a remarkable experience with the depth that Mass Effect lacks.

I postulate that ME2 might be a better experience, but i doubt that it will be a better RPG. To summarize: I like DA:O more than ME.

Both, I liked playing an Engineer in Mass Effect. And absolutely loved spending several hours exploring the 'space' map.



But as it stands, I'm still a bigger fan of Fantasy games, so Dragon Age was just a must have, one I don't regret in any-way.

[JabberJaww]

Tough one



There is much about ME i prefer. It really did feel like you were playing a movie, and i loved the voice over with the Sheppard.



However, because of the dull planet explorations, and zero variations in the armor and weapons, i have to give a slight edge to Dragon Age overall.



Now when ME2 comes out it may be a different ballgame.



My one issue is whether to get ME2 on PC or 360??????

[XOGHunter246]

dragon age just in medieval times and mass effect is sci- fi both good games

[bjdbwea]

ME > DA



Especially as the main story is concerned. ME has the best presentation ever of a fantastic story. I also like the companions more, and the romances feel better integrated. The decisions in dialogue make an actual difference. You get to make real decisions that have an influence on characters and story (could still always have more of course). The (amazingly good) voiced PC adds so much to the atmosphere. The scenario is new, refreshing and well implemented. The sidequests get a little repetitve, sure, but at least most of them have a proper introduction / explanation as well as a conclusion in form of a cutscene, while in DA all we get is a text box on a board.

[Veex]

I am a little bored of the fantasy genre, so ME gets the nod for that simple fact.

This is indeed one of the major + of mass effect when compared to DAO. The characters actually do talk normally, they move properly and realistically and behave how they should when they converse. One who has not played Mass Effect cannot even beggin to imagine the superiority of the character interaction on both suggestive and visual level.

I like Dragon age origins more

It give me feeling of epicnes

[Ashbery]

I love both games.MassEffect had better immersion due to the cinematic gameplay but DragonAge had the better gameplay and story.

I completely agree.

[ioannisdenton]

though ME was scifi ( i love scifi) and had a better cinematic experience, DA is a better game i think, and a LONGER one with more actual sidequests.

[jwraith95]

Mass Effect and Dragon Age are in the top ten list of best games ever made in my opinion. As for witch one i like better i can,t decide.
