I now understand where this franchise fits, among it's peers... | Forums

[Notion_]

I think: Uncharted, Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed are hands-down the 3 best game franchises in existence...they simply always out-class everyone else, with every game (I know Mass Effect doesn't have the same pedigree as the other two, but it will).

That said, I can't pick a clear winner among the three, as they all are great in their own ways. I think each are the best examples of the type of games that they are (linear, open-world, decision-based).

Anyway, I just finished Revelations, and I've played every game in the series, and I think I can put them all in neat little boxes now...

The real strength of the Assassin's Creed series, is really how emotionally involved you become while playing them. The afore mentioned games have their moments, but AC really sells it better. The game is really driven by your connection to the characters, and the relationships they develop with each other. As an experience, I think AC games are more memorable than any other.

And while I can appreciate the technological mastery and superior acting and storytelling that is in play whenever you load up an Uncharted game, and I can appreciate the immersiveness, imagination and addicting gameplay that is Mass Effect 2, being somewhat of an emotionally-driven guy, I think I might prefer the Assassin's Creed experience above all others. Something about the way the characters interact with each other, combined with the visuals, and topped off with that amazing musical score...something about it is...unbeatable. I just hope this franchise hasn't lost it's magic with the passing of Ezio, and the departure from that part of the world.

Loved the game though. Nice work Ubi.

Happy Holidays to all.

lol. well first up it is your opinion. butttttt
there are franchises that are a bit better than mass effect and uncharted and for most people ac aswell. fallout, tes, gta, zelda, mario, battlefield, cod, bioshock, starcraft etc etc. all sold more.

now to bash on uncharted. it is a freaking boring interactive movie, with linear climbing and a lame 3rd person shooter element that does not make much sense.

This is a very pointless post..

What's ironic is that this is just your opinion to "correct" the other person's Opinion...


As far as Fallout, they got alot of crap for the glitchy, buggy mess they put out too early w/ New Vegas. I Fallout 3 & wouldn't even get FNV.

I don't know if they're putting out another one, but I'm definitely renting before I buy.

Fallout 3 and any Call of Duty game make me want to swallow a grenade.

But that's just my opinion, y'know.

I think Uncharted is an exciting interactive movie.

I have to agree with that last part as I hate when buttons pop in on the screen it detracts from the realism so much. Also the climbing animations in this game are clumsy and nowhere near as good as AC.

All they have left to do w/ Ezio now is an RDR Zombie invasion in Rome - he has to save every Doctor from the Zombies so they can find a cure.

first off indeed it is my opinion that uncharted' story is boring. being boring is a opinion and never fact. unlike notion_ that putted his opinion as fact.
fallout nv had indeed more bugs than the average game. made by a team that normally dont make big open worlds with bethesda's old engine. but i never care for bugs. just make a lot of saves. still fallout 3 was better. fallout 4 probly going be more like skyrim.
