Get Mass Effect. I normally never would have bought a shooter-rpg, an a whim decided to anyway, and it is one of the best games i've ever played. You'll finish it in a week. It's not that short, but you won't be able to pull yourself away from the screen. Seriously. And if you end up enjoying it as much as most people, the second one comes out on Feb 2! Plus, you can always get DA when it becomes cheaper in a few months and after you beat Mass Effect.
Mass Effect is a wonderful game, if your into RPG's, but it certainly depends on the time you have on your hands... Mass Effect is time consuming and addicting :)Should I buy Mass Effect for 20 dollars or Dragon Age new?
mass effect and dragon age are basically the exact same game but one is set in space and one is set in medieval times
i do think mass effect has slightly better graphic though but nothing to write home about
i like dragon age alot more;however, because i like alot of the mage spells and skills
perhaps i chose the "wrong" character class in mass effect (half engineer, half psychic powers, or whatever its called) and my person sucks, so weak..they cant kill anything, the aiming is terrible, i dont like the combat one bit in mass effect and although its a RPG at its core is still a "shooter" and the shooting mechanics suck, just my opnion though
be prepared, both games are like 90% listening to boring dialogue and asking boring questions, watching boring cutscreens..also, most of the "action"/missions are running errands for people and stuff, boring
the main reason i will play dragon age a little longer is that i JUST got my dog and i love him alot
dragon age has better graphics imo and its a better game.Should I buy Mass Effect for 20 dollars or Dragon Age new?
They are both teriffic games. Mass effect is at heart a mesh of a RPG and a squad based shooter. Not a terribly tactical shooter, but you do run around shooting things with 2 sidekicks.
Dragon Age is more of a classic RPG in the vein of Baldurs gate or Neverwinter nights. Actually the interface is a LOT like Neverwinter Nights.
So pick your poison.
Both have decent plots, character interaction, and are up to the quality standards of Bioware (Which with a few exceptions have always been pretty damn high.) Production values are about the same. Sysytem requirements are the same (As these games need to be playable on an Xbox 360)
Of the two? I'd go Mass effect. First it is slightly cheaper, and second it has "Don't panic" in large friendly letters on the cover. Actually it doesn't, but Mass effect has IMHO much more memorable characters, and as you said the sequal is about to be released,
