First, lets not flame

Do you think that "Mass Effect "is like "Lord of the rings" of 21st century? Because I can't think of anything else in the past few years that could create such a hype, story and lore.

[Gorn Kregore]

More like the Star Wars of 21st century.

Dont even start comparing anything to the mastermind that is Tolkien.



*shame*

Definitely more like Star Wars, if you have to compare it to any trilogy. Hopefully the Orginal Saga as opposed to the Prequels.

[IRoNM4yN3 138]

lord of the rings- no



star wars-HELL no



its a great story and all, some of the best lore weve ever seen, but you cant POSSIBLY compare it to the size and depth of the star wars universe

Oh, you mean like Dragon Age?

[Kane-Corr]

I was thinking that the upcoming Dragon Age DLC -The Awakening, mimicked LOTR almost entirely.....





















I'm PUMPED!!!!!!

[Duckduden]

I actually feel it is alot like Lotr. It gives me exactly the same fuzzy feeling, the music score reminds me alot of the Lotr movies. And to a great extent Me has as deep a background story for the different races and characters.



Comparing it to star wars i would say is pretty dull, as in my opinion the star wars universe does not have the same depth and appeal (atleast not to me personally). Also i find Me a lot more plausible, since this event is set in the "near" future you get the feel that this is what can happen.

Nah, Mass Effect is more like the new Mass Effect.

[IronVanguard]

Some.

In the end though, LOTR more or less defined fantasy, while Mass Effect is here after decades of sci-fi, such as Star Wars.

Similar in the ways you described, but not quite so impacting on the world.

^This. It's our generation's Space Epic.

[Tobebech1307]

Nope, Tolkien almost invented fantasy as we know it today, while Mass Effect "only" takes familiar things and perfects them. I do however think they can in someway be compared to star wars.

[SomethinNothing]

I hope not. Sometimes I feel as though I'm the only person in the world who finds the Lord of the Rings universe fairly boring as far as fantasy universes go.

[AlbertoAquilani]

I don't really know about comparisons, but it's definitely Bioware's pinnacle work on a Sci-Fi IP. You can tell they learnt a lot from KOTOR and the original even.



Also, in terms of the sci-fi genre I don't think much has come our way that has floored me like Blade Runner has. Mass Effect is as close as it has come for me.

you have got to be kidding? theres literally hundreds of books, hundreds of species, dozens of planets. star wars is the greatest space opera of all time, and ME would NOT exist without star wars

Affirmative. It could be what Star Wars was to films for video games.

Star Wars has a depth beyond the scope of Mass Effect in its infant state.  You obviously aren't interested in Star Wars and don't know much about the EU.

As a big Star Wars person I agree with this.

[Kane-Corr]

I dont get how star wars is sci-fi? lol it really fits the fantasy genre better!

Nah it rapes Star Wars, the lore and universe is far more well thought out and just.. well, it's just so much better. I've nver found myself so fasinated by a fictional setting haha!

im not a star wars fan boy, just a fan of the OT and a few games, but you cant possibly think that a game thats been out a few years has "far more well thought out" lore than a universe thats been around for 40 years

[JosephShrike]

I'm a big fan of LOTR and a huge fan of Star Wars, and I wouldn't compare ME to either of them. Personally, I think Mass Effect is Mass Effect. You don't compare Star Wars to, say, Star Trek, unless you want to get shanked, and visa versa. Those two franchises stand on their own. I don't see why Mass Effect is any different. It doesn't have the history behind it as the previously mentioned fanchises, but that doesn't mean too much. It's not the new anything. It's just...Mass Effect. It doesn't have to aspire to anything beyond what it already is, at least in my opinion.
