Oblivion or Mass Effect?
Ninevolt | 11:14 AM on 11.11.2007 10 comments


Ok, ok. I know a few lucky awesome people got Mass Effect, but, is it really as good as Oblivion? Does Mass Effect really pull off the open endedness and the "HOLY CRAP Theres a lot of **** to do up in here!"??? I have been playing Oblivion for a while now and i want something new. Is mass effect really Oblivion in space, or is it something COMPLETElY different?

It is something entirely different.
For reference, play Knights of the Republic if you can.

Have you watched any videos of Mass Effect?

The games couldn't be more different

ah. But if im an Oblivion fan, would i like mass effect also?

It depends. Oblivion is more open ended in that you can just go anywhere anytime and do anything, whereas in MAss Effect it's more about the way you go about it. Mass Effect's story is better though because of this.

I think it would come down to personal preference though. Would you rather play a medieval-fantasy game or an old school sci-fi one?

If Mass Effect is indeed more like KOTOR, then it will propel you through the game because you keep unlocking new quests and talk about new events. In Oblivion, you pretty much knew what to do from the start and had a lot of freedom to do a lot of things.

If you liked Oblivion, you probably won't hate Mass Effect though.

I wouldn't know. Although I want Mass Effect I haven't boughten it yet because I'm saving it for Christmas. I Would just go ahead and get Mass Effect if for no other reason then this: I hate RPG's. The only one I like is Oblivion, and this one has to be really good if it attracted someone as negative toward RPG's as me.

Also, I feel compelled to warn you that there are going to be a bunch of people yelling at you to put this in the forums. Personally I don't care, but I know posts like this that ask questions piss off alot of people here.

Oblivion if you want to kill level 80 wolves with swords.
Mass Effect if you want your f***ing life changed.

14 hrs of Mass Effect so far has eclipsed the 50 I spent in Oblivion with fun, fun, fun.

MASS EFFECT KICKS OBLIVIONS SAGGY BALLS!

Besides, Oblivion is so 2006.
