the only thing these two games have in common is that both are sequel that are very much the same as the previous games. But in ME2 case, critics didn't seem to bring that up that much (that is the same) than they did with GoW3. Sales wise? GOW is a bigger franchise than ME, even though ME involves shooting that goes well with its target audience. Maybe they should include Multiplayer for ME3, that would do it....

I see by this and several other posts that we're back on the "360 is for shooters!" mantra again, why does this keep coming up? Is it just because Halo is so popular? This goes in waves and has been used to at any point indicate: the 360's library is terrible, the 360 users are shallow/young/n00bs/dull/sheep or that the games themselves are just copies of each other. It's a brilliant bit of spin that is a very versatile way to trash a bunch of things at once, but doesn't repeating it get a little old?

if you are a fan of shooter and like online play... xbox is the choice for you. it has a bigger community that plays these types of games (NA). that is where the statement comes from.

while the ps3 is more towards the single player experience... but its changing. its becoming shooter friendly as the market begins to saturate.

it will and rightfully so. Mass effect 2 was disappointing for me as an rpg fan.

This. Mass Effect 2 was inferior the first one and it was very overhyped.

I think it will. But IMO M.E.2 is the better game.

this is kinda like that other thread asking if Halo Reach will outsell GT5 in the first 2 weeks. really? no fucking shit, of course I said Reach will outsell GT5 in the first 2 weeks.

It's pretty obvious it will GoW III will, but ME2 deserves to beat it.

This I understand and agree with for the most part. I just don't like being pigeonholed about things like this. I'm primarily a single-player kind of gamer, and I have never had a problem finding games to play on the xbox. I am lucky enough to be in a situation where I can have all three home consoles, but I feel like if I only had a 360 I would not be disappointed in the game selection and variety.



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

Most likely.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

Yeah, it shouldn't be suprising since I OWN and have played both games. Not to mention Platinumed one and 1000Gd the other.

Yes, I believe it will.
