He gives very good reasons why it's a better game, even if they are diffrent games.

One of the big things is ME2 is a larger game with more to do, that should be alone in making it a better game for many.

And Uncharted 2 is extremely linear, but they are different games (they have a different audience).

Unlike ME2 you mean? They play differently but its not like ME2 is open world with lots of options. The storytelling is different, but the basic linear stuff is basicly the same. You still have to go through all the neccessary checkpoints throughout a mission. Unless you talk to X you cant access Y.

@

Did you played ME2? This game has a lot of exploration.

-Edit-

Actually, even ME1 has much more exploration than Uncharted 2.

Well that's what i was saying. The storytelling is different.

In ME you have a "city" with mission points. You go to that mission point and accept your mission. But as soon as you're "in game" so to speak, there isn't really that much room for exploration or out of the box thinking when shooting your way through enemies. You cant access rooms in advance or attack from another angle. You enter, you fight, you go where you're suppose to go. You cant get lost, get stuck or miss out on what the game wants you to do and know.

And the same goes for U2, but without mission points. Both are very linear when it comes to actual gameplay.

Exploration of the planets to get some resources isn't "in game"? Mission points isn't "in game"? Did you ever explored a single planet?

Not in the point im trying to make and you're unwilling to see, so theres no point in trying to make you understand, so ill leave it at that. Enjoy.

They're both great games and I have no intention of choosing one over the other.

Screw IGN and their flamebait.

They can deal with my dick up their ass as I play uncharted 2 and the superior pc version of mass effect while my xbox collects dust

So highly unprofessional

If I had to call it, I would say Mass Effect 85% and Uncharted 2 80% or a marginal difference.

Graphics? Uncharted 2 probably.

Visual presentation? Uncharted 2 probably.

Gameplay? Uncharted 2 probably.

Story? Mass Effect 2 probably, Uncharted 2's inconsistancy between cutscene and gameplay kills it.

Replayability? Mass Effect 2 due to the different paths you can take in Mass Effect 2.

Value? Mass Effect 2 due to the above and overall length.

The difference is that the areas where Uncharted 2 is better its close but where Mass Effect 2 is better theres a gulf. However someone with different values to me may make a different choice. It will be interesting to see how these games sell relative to each other to gauge the general public reception.

Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?

Interesting comparison. Really what he's saying is that RPG is a better genre than Action/Adventure.

Well he'll get no argument from me there.
