"This latest overhyped and heavily media funded game is better than the last overhyped and heavily media funded game. Deal with it fanboys."

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.

i will give one reason it's not.

the characters are mindless startrek crew, that have no relation and start having sex randomly and they are not likeable.

story and how the characters interact, graphics are animations are below uncharted 2.

they are different gender also, RPG are suppose to be later, U2 have multiplayer which many put 200 hours +.


Seriously? Is this analysis based on you playing the game at all? Yeah, people just start having sex randomly for no apparent reason at all. You could at least try to make up something that sounds plausible when you clearly haven't played the game at all.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

I've played both games and I prefer Mass Effect 2. Uncharted was a great game and was deserving of GOTY, but Mass Effect 2 is bioware's magnum opus.

It's funny how many on here are calling IGN biased, when this is the most biased PS3 site I've ever been on. Seriously how many paid posters are on this site? Oh well off to play some more ME2.

UC2 is overrated IMO.I played it, the story is ok but the MP is awful. The graphics are not "Only possible on PS3" type, its just colorful thats it.

"If you like something your a fanboy, if you dislike something your a troll"

Uncharted 2 multiplayer horrible?

...

No.

Yes.

 

It sucks, you lose money for leaving, its impossible to aim the game, the AK has accuracy like a MG42 on a treadmill.

wow,

It may be over-rated for you,I can let that part live,but the graphics still haven't been surpassed by ANY console game so far. The attention to detail in that game is unparalled but you just think "its colourful, thats all".

SPOILERS

Did we play the same game ? What did you see when you got to the top of that rooftop in Nepal ? Did you see how beautiful Shambala was ?

One time I died because I was looking at the environment and not on the action going on..Chapter 4 when you're running away from Flynn's men...

UC2- The textures are bland and have very little detail, the environments are just colorful thats it. The lighting effects are good but there not KZ2. Its just that far away it appears to have more detail.

 

And UC2 is just colorful thats it, KZ2 has better graphics, its like saying "Mario galaxy > Gears"

I could have agreed if you said character models weren't that good...cause some of them aren't , but if you're comparing TEXTURES - Uncharted 2 is teh BEAST !

Even Uncharted 1 had brill textures, U can see the details in the bottom of a river - and when you talk about detail, what about those masks in Nepal, and those statues in the "Path of Light" chapter...if that isn't detailed enough for you then I don't know what is....

And we haven't talked about the Snow yet.....

It looks better than ME2, thats for sure...but I agree - KZ2 looks greater than U2 in some areas such as lighting and those particle effects...but overall U2 is marginally better.

 

I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

I like how he closes by admiting that the comparison is like trying to decide which is better, apples or oranges, then claiming that as gamers we must nonetheless make a choice.

Bollocks. Of course we don't, and in this case it's well neigh impossible. Each game is very polished and well made, and neither has many flaws as such. Both are very different however so I do think this is a 'apples/oranges' scenario - i.e. you just can't make that kind of call between two very different 96% close to perfect games.

This smells like classic 'hits gathering' excercise.

You would in your honest interpretation call them close to perfect? Say for instance you had to give either game a score out of 100 with 50 being average, where would you place them aproximately?

Can't say for sure on ME2 until I finish it, but on evidence so far around 94% with Uncharted 2 at 96%.

I rate based on how well the game relates to its own goals and then how good it is technically.  I think both deliver terrifically against their design goals and compared to what's possible with current gen console tech, although so far I've found ME2 to be just that little bit behind technically.  I don't mean graphics as such more looking at frame rate, pop-in, etc.  Uncharted 2 just edges the ME2 engine technically so far for me.

To give some more perspective I'd rate few games 100%, but those that have come very close for me would be:

Ico - 98%

Silent Hill 2 - 98%

Flower - 98%

LBP - 98%

 

Those are the types of games for me that delivered almost perfectly on their design goals and were near enough perfect technically given the console tech they were running on.

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

2 years ago people stated Biowares 'magnum opus (or best game) was Baulders Gate.  2 months ago, people were all saying Dragon Age was BioWares 'magnum opus'.  And in 2 years it'll be Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Where do we draw the line?  Usually that title goes to one work...for someone....who's dead.....

Also I'd like to point out that Bioware is so big now that there's multiple development teams working on multiple projects.

I haven't played Mass Effect 2, but wouldn't be surprised if it was better than Uncharted 2. Many people though, seem to think Uncharted 2 is the holy grail of exclusives.
