The announcement of a spring 2010 release for Final Fantasy XIII on Xbox 360 sets up an intriguing battle for two vastly different RPGs. - gameplayer.
"On Xbox 360 it will also mark an intriguing clash between the old-school Japanese RPG and the new school western RPG as Final Fantasy XIII and Mass Effect 2 respectively go head-to-head in the charts. "
Kazuyuki Shindo, who worked on games including Legend of Mana, Final Fantasy XIII, and SaGa: Emerald Beyond, has left Square Enix.
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
FF13 will sell more that should be obvious
i wouldn't really play either though
=.=' what...?
Anyway I've preorded FFXIII and will do the same for Mass Effect 2 as well, both are going to be good (In my opinion) though I could see myself doing more run through on Mass Effect 2 than trying to rush myself through FFXIII.
After playing through Mass Effect again and even going so far as to buy the novels I can say that I will probably finish Mass Effect 2 first before I finish FFXIII.
[edit]
Sales wise yes I'd say FFXIII would probably sell a bit more due to name brand and all; but I wouldn't count out Mass Effect. It's a good game just as well that really shouldn't be passed up.
I'll play both on my PS3.
I don't think FFXIII will blow ME2 out of the water, both are going to be a hit.
I think ME2 will be the better game though
is mass effect publisher.So u can forget that phrase "never"that is usually used for 360 exclusives(fallout dlc,gta dlc,dead rising,lost planet..).
90% its timed exclusive just like conviction.
Althought we dont know nature of their deal just look at gta.50 mil.for timed dlc exclusi.Also i cant forget that "only on 360"when fallout dlc was announced.
also,ff13 ll sell more worldwide definetly.But im not interested in game
