Witcher trilogy vs. Mass Effect trilogy

Well, Witcher got progressively better with each title both mechanically and with its writing. It also didn't shit the bed completely by the last game. So seems like a pretty easy win for Geralt.
mass effect is godlike until the last 5 minutes.
Witcher is... uneven.
But Witcher 3 with extensions can take on the entire ME saga by itself and that would be a close call in my book

mass effect started great to me and got worse every following game and DLC
witcher started "meh" to me and got better every following game and DLC
it's an easy win for witcher, to me
hey, he learned people didnt rate the bubsy trilogy that highly after that one

The Witcher series had a lame 2nd entry. However, Mass Effect is in a similar boat with a weak final game.
About both are even actually.

Mass Effect trilogy defines modern day disappointment. You can watch it fall apart in real time as you progress through them all, especially the writing and world building quality once mac walters took over.
The Witcher series though only gets better overall as you keep playing. Although I sort of miss the game of thrones-like story from TW2.

Witchers are great but super uneven
Mass effect is stellar throughout, minus the poor combat of 1 and the dissapoitinf ending of 3

Mass Effect all the way.
Lol. OP sounds like a ME fanboy trying to get the trilogy to win in another poll.

There's a wide berth between Witcher 1 and Witcher 3 in a lot of ways.
Mass Effect, beyond the equipment management and tightening up the shooting between 1 and 2, are all still very similar and consistent.
Mass Effect, even with some stuff in Witcher 3 that is above the rest.

As a series, Mass Effect is consistently better, but it falls apart at the end.
The Witcher improves with each entry, and 3 is one of the greatest games ever made.

Love the sci fi setting of Mass Effect a lot more, although Witcher 3 as a standalone game is arguably the best of the six.
If I could play only one game for the first time, Witcher 3.
If I could only own and play one of the two, it would be Mass Effect although I'd choose AC1-2-B-R over even ME.

I haven't finished Witcher 3 but my understanding is that it finishes well.
Mass Effect 3 was an utter train wreck.

Mass effect easily. For Witcher you can easily skip those first two games. Hell the majority here haven't even played Witcher 1. Compared to Mass Effect where playing all 3 is easy to do and well recommended. I suppose you can chalk up the ending of 3 as lowering things. But strictly trilogy vs trilogy. There's no real contest in my eyes.
Having to force myself to finish Witcher 3. Never finished 1 or 2.
Never had that issue with the ME series.

It's Witcher, no contest. It improved, changed and always stood true to its atmosphere resulting in Witcher 3 being one of the all time greats. It was a satisfying series that rewarded fans of the source material and those who played since the first game.
Mass Effect lost every single bit of its heart starting from when it went to EA. Mass Effect 2 was great from inertia. Mass Effect 3 was kind of inexcusable and barely recognizable as part of the same series when put next to the first game. I can't imagine any fans of the original being satisfied with how it ended.

Witcher 1 is yuck. i do love watcher 2 and 3, though. Dragon age killed it for me when i finally got a chance to play Witcher 1.
Mass Effect as a series is better than The Witcher. Witcher 1 is atrocious and parts of Witcher 2 are pretty awful. If you're only judged based on how the series ended, then Witcher 3 is obviously the winner but that's ignoring the entire rest of the series.
Considering we had this thread in February, by the same OP, and it's a plainly unproductive question, this thread is closed to further replies.
