Assassins Creed or Mass Effect?

Assassins Creed and Mass Effect both comes out on the same month.
Its hard for me to choose because i like games in futuristic and medieval settings and rpgs is my favourite genre.
what would you rather get if you could choose only one?

I dont think id ever be able to choose between them.

However i think Mass Effect will have the more replayability and be the longer gaming experience. Also with Xbox Live content already being worked on id say it will be the better deal.

That's a toughie...

I reckon I would still go for Mass Effect though. As DD said, there's bound to be a whole lot more re-playability with Mass Effect and DD knows a heck of alot more about Mass Effect about me. Don't get me wrong, Assassin's Creed is gonna' be fantastic, it's just that I'd personally lean more towards Mass Effect.

Oh yeah, be sure to check out either our Assassin's Creed Forum or Mass Effect Forum, depending of which game you decide to buy. It's win-win whichever you decide, though.

Why didnt i think of the shameless self promotion *slaps self in head*.

I love shameless self promotion.

I'm gonna have to go for Assassins Creed. I agree with everything said above, but I'm more into the medieval setting.

My plan is to get Assassins Creed on the 16th, then Mass Effect for Christmas... Assuming I can dodge my $700 phone bill

Mass Effect, no contest...
Assassin's Creed is sure to be an interesting game, and I really like the futuristic setting of all it's intrigue and such, but Mass Effect is just so much better...
it's Bioware... that should be enough...
character customization, party interaction, moral choice, romance options, a galaxy to explore, 60 hours of story, additional story through DLC... no contest...

Wow! That's a hard choice. I am partial to sword play and the medieval realm but I think Mass Effect will have a better storyline. Maybe that's because I've read Revelation. These are both going to be Awesome games.

Mass Effect might have sex sences..... But I went with Assassin's Creed.

That is a tough decision but as many above said Mass Effect will have alot more role-playing possibilities and choices....

But if you can free roam in Assassins Creed I think it will have a good roleplaying possibility to unlike where u get a mission ur sent to a town when finished you teleport back to this place to choose another mission etc... i hope it isnt like that... (like: Tenchu Z altho its still a fun game somewhat.)

Its going to have a flowerbox style rather than that of a freeroam sandbox style. Basically meaning you will have objectives to get to but will have room for roaming around inbetween and take whatever way there as you please. However not fully freeroam as its very story driven too.

Ah man, so after you finish missions it takes you back somewhere? or what?

No it wont effect your location, you finish mission and then carry on from that location and proceed towards your next one.

From what I`ve seen, Mass Effect has disappointed me - I mean theres been so much talk about it, but when I saw a video I was... "Hmm, that`s not good!"
Assassins Creed on the other hand, looks like a very nice game.
Maybe I`ve just been watching the wrong videos.

Just what didnt impress you? To me it looks like what could be the best RPG experience for many many years and for many years to come.

Dont tell me you judged it on one video...

Best dialog choices ive ever seen, best customisation ive ever seen, branching story and real choices that actually effect the path of the game, different endings, ability to play as male and female and choose your origins. This is just the basic outline of the game, couldnt really do it justice in a couple of lines, how can that not be impressive?

That`s exactly what I said.
OK, I want to say that I don`t really know anything about Mass Effect and I most certainly don`t want to say that it`s a bad game, I just like Assassin`s Creed more.
And that one video... it was bad. But now I`m watching another one and it looks completely different.
Still, Assassin`s Creed seems better.
