Mass Effect or Fallout 3

[DneL]

Well i am thinking about getting Mass Effect
2 or Fallout 3. Issue is iv never touched
Mass Effect 1,so not sure if it would be a
good idea to just jump into Mass Effect 2
(i don't have much money to spend on games right now)


So it comes down to Is Fallout 3 better then Mass Effect 1 ?
Or is Mass Effect 2 so good that it would be better to buy Part 1
and get Mass Effect 2 later

Mass effect 2


1 is ok but not so good as 2

[DneL]

so even if i haven't played 1.. it will still be as enjoyable?

[Kintou]

Sure , the story of 1 will be somewhat explained at the beggining of 2

[DneL]

alright cool, thanks

anyone else have opinions on this?

I barely touched ME1 (I dislike the gameplay), but FO3 isn't bad.

The biggest issue is that you don't get free-roaming after you defeat the campaign, so you'll need to do all sidequests before the final mission if you want 100% played.

FO 3 imo.

I've never played ME2 but if it's anything like 1 I probably wouldn't like it.

They changed this with Broken Steel didn't they?

I bought mass effect the first one and i kinda regret it. I like doing everything in a game but i got really discouraged when i talked to a npc and i went through over 20minutes talking to this npc before i gave up and exited the game:S

Fallout 3, has a lot of mods to keep you busy.

If you like RPGs, do yourself a favor and get ME1 and 2.

If you're more of an "open world" gamer that likes tons of mods, then get FO3.
