I think it's pretty obvious that the reviewer meant other RPG's as ME2's competition. In which case I would have to agree. Proper working unbiased eyes could tell you that Uncharted 2, graphically is the superior game. That being said, the art direction in ME2 is much more incredible, unique, and expansive then that of Uncharted 2 which is also evident by the higher presentation score it recieved. I never understood how Mass Effect got such incredibly high scores, including many perfect scores when it suffered from so many problems and a frame rate that rendered it almost unplayable at times. I fully back these review scores and agree that it should be a GOTY nominee. This isn't anything more then I would have guessed a selnor thread would make a turn though.

And how is it obvious? You are aware of what happens when you assume. And please do not refer to me as being biased, you are way of base.

Obvious in that ME2 is an RPG and it's direct competition are obviously RPGs. Along with the fact that Uncharted 2 got a 10 for graphics and this got a 9.5. Makes pretty much sense to me. Anything else is nothing more then an assumption in and of itself. Really though, the dead give away is the fact that I have eyes and when I use such eyes to look at the games Uncharted 2 is the better looking game. Not to say that ME2 isn't better in some regards, as it absolutely is. But overall Uncharted 2 is still the best looking game out at this time. On consoles for sure anyway. I'd like to point out that he was playing the PC version which is obviously better in many categories. Here is an exceprt from the written review "If you're playing on PC and have a powerful rig (I took Shepard for a spin on an Alienware Intel Core 2 Quad 2.00 GHz prcoessor, dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M cards, and 6 GB of memory), it will look even better." Why this even matters is beyond me. Why a game always has to be the best this or the best that is beyond me. All of you guys need to just play your games and enjoy them and stop making everything a pissing contest. It doens't matter that Uncharted 2 looks better or that ME2 got .1 higher. It really doesn't and I'm not going to argue about it. Instead I'm going to leave this thread forget about how childish the gaming community is and enjoy some of the best games of this generation. I suggest everyone else put away the rulers and do the same. Have fun! :)
Why so emotional? As you put it yourself, why does it matter? I could careless personally if the general opinions regarding U2 being the benchmark for console game graphics did not change in a 1,000 years. IGN gave Gears of War a ten in the graphics department, so by your logic I should assume it has achieved graphical parity with U2. Futhermore, IGN never qualified its review by stating "amongst rpgs, ME2 is miles ahead of its direct competitors!" Be careful in dealing in absolutes and passing opinion off as fact. You have every right to feel U2 is the Holy Grail of gaming. My comments were not saying one was better than the other, but only to highlight visual competition, in regards to graphics, is not a for gone conclusion. Lastly, I did not enter this thread to argue but if something is logically debatable, I'm all for it. Never shy away from resistance because adversity is the key to strength!
