Fucking prequels...*chooses D*

Thing is that this is a video game forum.  So I will take that approach and say Jedi Knight 2 was a fun game and KOTOR, that still has a bigger place in my heart than Mass Effect.  SO Star Wars.

D for me, try as hard as you want but those prequels wont ever not exist now. 

There are forms of sexually transmitted disease that are better than star wars. 
 
So aye! mass effect is much better than that

No. The Mass Effect series, so far, has one game that's mediocre and one game that's pretty good. Star Wars episodes 4-6, meanwhile, are some of the best movies ever made. Even if you take episodes 1-3 into consideration, Star Wars absolutely demolishes Mass Effect.

I think there were really 2 and a half good Star Wars movies, cause about half of episode 6 was fucking terrible. 
Ewoks? I think that shit led to Jar Jar.  And don't forget about 1-3, the Mass Effect DLCs are worth way more than those. Cerebus armour is worth tenfolds more then those shitty films.
On the other hand, Mass Effect has 2 fantastic games, out of a series of 2 games so far. I think the deciding factor would be ME3, but I'm still putting my bets on Mass Effect.

a new hope, empire, and jedi are probably better than mass effect. but if you take into account star wars as a whole, the amount of shit thats there completely undermines those first three movies, so mass effect is better.

Mass Effect has a fairly deep background story. 
 
But it feels Star Trek, Star Wars all rolled up into one with no sense of originality. 
 
Same feeling I get with DA really. It just feels like DnD lite.

Mass Effect is far more sci-fi than Star Wars. SW is very much fantasy in space, whereas ME is very much proper sci-fi. And as a fan of sci-fi, and not so much of fantasy, yeah, I probably prefer Mass Effect. Mass Effect Vs. Star Trek is another story though.

I adore them both. But you cannot compare a classic to a barely-established universe. 
 
Star Wars all the way. Mass Effect, though, is certainly a wonderful distraction. If BioWare made a new Star Wars third-person shooter RPG using Mass Effect 2's technology... I would implode.

Does mass effect have jedi's? No?.. then star wars wins  /thread

Ribbit, I mean Shepard.

I'd love to go with ME here but... Lightsabers and Yoda, there is not topping that Im afraid.

Mass Effect lacks the charm and originality of Star Wars but the games are still incredible. Comparing them in any way just doesn't feel right.

I enjoy the ME a lot but I find way the ORIGINAL Star Wars trilogy to be better. Though I can't stress enough that I loves me some great science fiction in all of its forms.

Shepard. 
 
Also I kinda don't think they're comparable, pretty much everything in Mass Effect is rooted in some science at some point down the line, pretty much none of Star wars is; SW is basically fantasy in space. Of course ME has much deeper lore, it has the luxury of time, but it doesn't have the immediate fun that SW provides.

Mass Effect People?? Really?? Its a great game but come on, the ending of Mass Effect 2: 
 

  Absolutely. Mass Effect is this generation's Star Wars but better because George Lucas can't screw with it. 

I like the star wars fiction better, but as a entertainment property, mass effect is much better.

We'll just need to see if they go all phantom menace on us

Oh lets say the collectors are making a huge human out of the DNA and other mush that was liquefied from thousands of abducted humans. Because you know, a giant reaper human is totally cool!

 Besides that its an incomplete trilogy, if you are comparing the original star wars trilogy to current mass effect trilogy then star wars wins hands down.  "

A.

Star Wars, son 
ME is cool and all but yeah

I like to remember Star Wars by the first 3 films, as the recent 3 were abysmal, although I loved them for what they are when they were released.
 
The Mass Effect universe seems similar to what our universe would be like given enough time.  The thing Brad mentioned on the Bombcast
about the new space suits seems awesome (Google "NOVA next generation space suits"). 
 
Mass Effect's universe has better races in my opinion, is more in line with reality, and the plot (at least the overall plot, not the one in the 2nd game) 
is just outstanding in my opinion.
 
Choice D for sure.

Mass Effect is on a par with Star Wars.  Star Wars Episodes 1 to 3 that is - so shit!!

Mass Effect's characters are like the retarded children of the original trilogy's. They're great games, but my God, let's actually think about what we're saying.

" Personally, I voted D. For that reason plus I'm seriously considering buying the ME novels and that says something in of itself. "

Dune > Mass Effect > Star Trek > Star Wars

I voted C, but that's because I'm mostly thinking of Star Wars Episode 4. As an individual movie, that's better than ANY part of Mass Effect. But the more Star Wars that came after it, the worse it got, which is the opposite of true for Mass Effect. 
 
Also, as cool as Wrex is, he's just not QUITE as cool as Han Solo.

I loved Mass Effect 1 and 2 but KOTOR is the best game of all time so.... thats a really tough question. 

There's no way that Mass Effect could have had effected my childhood anywhere near as much as the first three Star Wars movies did. So that's easy.

The Original Star Wars trilogy wins hands down, just look at the villains  
 
Star Wars: A black/white guy in the coolest cyborg suit ever with a cape and Pope Benedict XVI,  
 
Mass Effect: or a bunch of bugs, talking space ships, and a giant human robot baby that feeds on People. 
 
Come on, unless Mass Effect 3 is amazing and ends in a good arc there is no way it can be better.

The one way to tell a true Stars Wars fan from anyone else. Ask them who their favorite character is. If they say Han Solo they're a true SW fan. Otherwise....SHUN THEM.

I'd say both are on par, but ME as a different form of media allows far more depth than the Star Wars original film trilogy. I personally think ME's space racism and creationism is more interesting than Star Wars' eternal battle between good and evil. Jedis and sith are cool and all, but that type of concept is overdone to this point.

to early to say since we only have 66% of the mass effect story. 
 
ME3 might be crap and ruin the series in the eyes of gamers and critics just like how star wars kind of got crap after the first 2 movies.  
 
if we try and block the prequels and return of the Jedi out and the star was universe is pretty damn fantastic.     

if you compare just Mass effect 1 and 2 with the first 2 star wars movies then thats a tough choice.    

Shepard. 

I guess they're on par. Both have great likeable, or unlikeable if that's the point, characters, good story and, what's most important for me, awesome lore.
 
 I mean, I had so much fun just going through the codex in Mass Effect it's ridiculous.

Shepard.

I like the first Mass Effect.
 
 
I don't like any Star Wars.

Since Star Wars is dumb, the answer is yes.
