Is Mass Effect 2 the perfect example of epic movie experience in a game?

I have always wanted a epic movie experience in a game but done with game play not just CGI since I am playing a game after all. I have never seen a game trying to give that experience ever really pull it off though. Some games try to give that feeling like MGS4 or Heavy Rain but really you just are watching a movie. In ME2 you really can never put down your controller/keyboard because the few pure cutscenes there is are fairly short. The longest cutscene I guess is towards the end but you have two fights in the middle to even break that up. Even in the conversations you are still choosing what is said and most times how it is said.

The music, cimematics and writting just gives ME2 such a epic movie experience but still there is a ton of gameplay.

Yes, it's a incredible experience... the best I ever had with a videogame.

It is the best, most cinematic game I have played.

One of the best, but I don't what is the best.

uncharted 2

I consider it one of THE best.

But Uncharted 2 gets A LOT more closer to a perfect movie experience than Mass Effect 2.

It just doesn't get any better than that.

Its without a doubt one of the best examples, but Uncharted 2 I think does the movie experiance alot better still.

Uncharted has strange combat.

One of the best, but I think Uncharted 2 would suit a movie experience better as it is more confined and has a more cohesive narrative. Mass Effect is certainly cinematic, but many things that make the universe so great would have to be sacrificed in order to make it a movie. The story is far too large in scope for even the first game to be a single movie, let alone the sequel

Gets close but not Unchared close.

I believe that title goes to the MGS series and Uncharted 2.

Eh, I thought the first did better in terms of story, music & general epicness.

[QUOTE="Im_single"][QUOTE="Revan_911"] It could fit into a movie. Granted anyone would be interested in making a movie of a generic sci and stupid sci fi story.Revan_911

No CGI, and it's even mixed with gameplay a bit.

ME2 was great but the scenes felt stiff. Open world games and dialog driven sequences will never be as exciting as scripted scenes in my opinion.

Hell no, too much stop and pop from heavy action to researching planets and talking to characters to romance and stuff.

U2 nails that.

[QUOTE="Revan_911"][QUOTE="Im_single"] Every ME/ME2 thread you come and bash them, just stay away, we know you have bad tastes in games you don't need to keep reminding everyone.blue_hazy_basic

I have yet to play it, I'm waiting for it to get it in my mailbox. Although Uncharted 2 seems like the epic movie experience, but I might change my mind when I actually play it.

Uncharted 2 has a boring story. What happened to Marco Polo? Does Drake love Elena or Chlow? - snoozefestNerdja
