Wella lot of people usually have this problem i did. Its a very very hard choice, because both games are really good games in action and graphics.

Mass Effect

Pros:Long Game (Kinda) about 30 hours if u do all the side quests ( which are really fun.), wat makes it long is the side quests but the main story is a really good one too cause u get to make a choice between Renagde and Paragon (evil-Renagde or good-Paragon). You can also choose wat u want to say that will decide wat your future is. There is a lot of systems to explore and when u get on one of the systems there are planets to explore. Now u can explore the planet and get side quests. So its a really really really big game and they all look great while they are at it. There are also many classes with all different skills and specialities to choose from and with that class comes its weapon choice as well. The solider has all the weapon to its disposal, and so forth.

Cons:Sometimes the map loads up really wierd. Like its goes from really looking real and everything and then u load at the beginning and then everything goes back to computer made things with all the undeatailed stuff. But its only for a short time. Also Mass Effect did a really horriable job on the auto-saves. I mean come on, on the planet full of snow you run into like half way thorugh and then u die and you just go back to almost the beginning its very frustrating. So you need to save alot manually. But in battles you cant save and then you die and you go all the way back. Well everything else is perfect or close to perfect.

Assassins Creed

Pros: Its really fun counterattacking people. The cities are really big and you can explore everywhere. I mean everywhere, when u think u cant get up there.. well think again there is always a way to get up there either by jumping, wall climbing, or anything else. The way u can blend in or stand out is awesome too.The graphics are really nice to look at and everything. Also the history on this is really accurate this was an actual event but messed with a little. The hiding from guards are also pretty good and how u do everything in hiding and killing is really fun.

Cons: This game is very short, and when they say u can choose when u assassins a important person they are dead WRONG. You are only given a specific time and place to assassinate the person. Also its really repetitive how to get to assassinate the person and assassinating them. First step is always pickpocketing or something, Second beat the crap out of people for info and **** and listen to peoples conversations, and third the assassination. The killing is always repetitive after a while cause u do the same thing almost everytime.Also the guards come at u one at a time like they put their names in a hat to see who goes first, second, third and so on. This game gets boring after a while.

The Choice you should make is Mass Effect cause its a better games besides a few minor graphic probs and the auto saves. Its a hell of a lot longer and less repetitive. Their are good side quests to do. And you can choose your way unlike wat assassins creed says it could do but cant. There are also classes and many other cool stuff in Mass Effect. Some people might disagree with me on this and i respect your thoughts but to me mass effects is a way better choice for a buy. Assassins Creed is a rent thoguh cause its so short and repetitive.

Definatly Assassin's Creed it is an overall better game with the freedom to roam everwhere;In Mass Effect you stick to a the game plot and you're bond by it.... Don't get me wrong Mass Efeec is a great game but Assassin's Creed is better. I think you should by both.

If you want a good gaming experience than go for Mass Effect. If you want a crappy repetitive gameplay, than go for Assassins Creed.

Assassins Creed is a very bad game in my opinion. Who seriously wants to do the same things over and over? Go search high buildings to see your surroundings, investigate, beat people up, assassinate your target. WOW! The only thing that changes are the citys and the people you have to kill in the end. Big deal? Side the fact you go back to the same city's anyway.

Horribly hyped game.

AssAssIn's Creed has zero replay value,my copy is collecting dust right now i'll trade it soon before it's trade value goes down. Mass effect is just one of thse game that you will be playing for weeks and hopefully DLC coming soon too.So yea get Mass Effect.

Well lets see.....Mass Effect is only fun because of the massiveness of it and the story and the graphics and the quests, but the gameplay is EXTREMELY boring. Assassins Creed had story, Massiveness, graphics, but I admit investigations are kinda boring.

Assassins Creed seems more like an actual game, and Mass Effect seems like a suped up 20 questions game with boring gameplay IMO so I'd recommend Assassin's Creed

For an rpg, Mass Effect has the best gameplay and combat to date. This is not gears of war.

]IMO, Oblivion has funner combat (slash, slash spin,magicftw) And ME promised a nice mix of action and rpg(shoot boringly, shoot sorry version of force push ftl). I saw RPG mainly with little action. The coolest thing I ever saw was a teammate getting a head shot at a crawling opponent.

WTF? really...have you even played Mass Effect,i know ME's side quests are bad but its alot better than saving 100 citizens, climbing 70+ view points, pickpocketing 40 people. beating up 20 people, killing 60 templar and collecting hundreds of flags.

I have the same problem. I'm deciding between getting R:FoM or Mass Effect. Just bought Unreal for ps3 and it was terrible. I have 2 games for ps3 (uncharted and folklore) and I need some good games but I also know there are none besides probably ratchet and R:FoM. I already have enough shooters as it is for 360. Could someone please help in deciding? p.s. im using a ps3 to type this

Mass effect i don't see what the problem is with textures at all also the save system is just as it should be, i though there only was auto-saves when i bought it with all the bashing its been getting...aren't we getting a bit too spoiled...if a pc game had such things it wouldn't even be spoken of

Get both...just get one now and the other later. If you cant choose which one to get first then do a poll and let it run for a few days and see which one wins and buy that one first. :)
