Which game is more embarassing?

Final Fantasy XV 13 6.74%
 
Mass Effe- I mean Final Fantasy XV 135 69.95%

Well, no one's been making fun on Final Fantasy XV at the very least, and I don't think I've heard people hate it too much either. For the most part, people still consider it a good game even with its flaws. There's just nothing embarrassing about it.

I haven't played either. Watching my roommate play Mass Effect, and it looks rather underwhelming. I remember the graphics being some of the best of the last gen. I asked him if this game was the new Mass Effect, because it looked kind of bad. Gameplay wise, I won't judge. However, it seems the series took a huge dive if Metacritic matters to people.

FFXV has been a step up from XIII and somewhat scene as a redemption in the fan's hearts (not to mention, it has a better Metacritic score) so I would say Adromeda loses big.

Off topic, you probably should include an option where for FFXV in your poll if you don't want to reek of fanboyism.



As an outsider looking in (only played FFX and ME2), Mass effect. Hands down.



FFXV is just fine. So of the two ME: Andromeda seems to be the most embarrassing.

I'd give an answer to this if it was presented in a more well written manner.

This comment is hilarious when combined with your avatar's expression.

OT: I assume Andromeda based on fan reception. Can't say I'm interested enough to test either out though.

I vote for FF because, imo, the series has fallen off a cliff since FFX-2.



I haven't played FFXV but my god this game gets so much hate.

Personally, I think the biggest embarrassment is that these IPs were still held in high regard right up until the release of their latest installments.

I mean, last generation Final Fantasy got mocked for its XIII series as well as the catastrophic launch of XIV while Mass Effect went through a shitstorm because the third game's ending contradicted the entire premise of the series.

Thats exactly what i was thinking aswell. Its like FF15 was coming out straight after FF8 and ME-A was the 3rd game in its trilogy. Its like gamers completely ignored and avoided the games that didnt sit well with its fans like they never existed. I new ME-A wasnt going to do well based on ME3 same goes with FF15.



You misspelled Final Fantasy XIII.



Take this with a grain of salt as I'm no ME player.
FFXV is plagued by questionnable design choices, while ME has execution flaws.
The thing with big franchises like that is that the execution is where you shouldn't be disappointed : they are super high budget games with long devlopment cycles made by veterans of the industry.
Also, the Final Fantasy franchise always had questionnable design choices, and no game in the franchise ever pleased everyone. Wether it pleases most or not makes the difference between the "best" titles and the "worst" ones, but it's the reason why when you ask people which is their favourite FF game, you get so many different answers.

So I would say ME:A is a bigger embarassment. The facial animations look like they were handled by rookies led by an incompeetent manager, which should never happen on such a big title.
