what is your favorite video game universe
mine is between Metal Gear and Mass Effect
what is yours
Mass Effect. Anyone who answers differently is wrong.
Well, not really. But my answer is still ME.
I would have said that before ME3 but after that ending I pretty much lost all interest I had in the game franchise, maybe they'll win me back with ME4 somehow.
I'm going to go Elder Scrolls. I prefer Fallout series, but in terms of a universe I'd rather live in it would be ES.

I get what you're saying and somewhat agree, but the ending is just so bad I don't even consider it canon regardless of what anyone says. So it doesn't impact my thinking at all when picking ME here.
Mass Effect. Fallout. Bioshock. Deus Ex. All of these are among the most well-realized universes in video games

Other than Deus Ex because I wasn't able to get into it (playing Mass Effect again at the time :P), this along with Elder Scrolls
basically any fantasy game combined together... like Dragon Age + The Witcher + TES + Neverwinter Nights + etc.
I think I might go infamous, its pretty much a comic book universe, I'd hope I'd be a conduit tho
this, Neon conduit FTW
Persona. Because it's the only universe where I'd have a girlfriend..
This is the closest thing to a like. Because that was perfect.
@sacredweapons: Haha I'm glad at least someone got it.

Just one? More like a harem.
Swaggy Yu stealin' all yo waifu! :3
#naotobestgirl
@jaken7: Nah, Yukiko is more than enough for me considering all the trouble I had to get her.
Your opinion is wrong and you should feel bad.
This is how true weaboos argue, folks. Comic nerds argue over who would win in a fight between their favorite characters, while we argue over who is the best waifu. In this case, the answer is clearly Naoto. :3
Dragon Age > Mass Effect
also
Pokémon
Dragon Age > Mass Effect
Yeah, but Dragon Age 2 though. Also, the universe is inconsistent with itself, as evidenced by the Qunari (don't feed me that hindsight excuse they came up with. Sten was not rare or special, every Qunari you fought in Origins was without horns, and there was like a billion of them). I hope Inquisition sets it on the right path, but for now the Dragon Age universe has devolved into an ever-revolving door of Mage v Templar wank.
Also, on a more general scale, Sci-Fi > Fantasy.
Mass Effect. Although I wonder how Destiny will do?
Bad. The wordlbuilding is quite lacking and there is absolutely no plot. There are these 3 races, Humans, Awoken, and Exo. Humans are humans, Awoken are blue humans, and exos are robots. Yawn. Other than that, everything is so generic. The only good idea is The Traveler which is this giant cosmic mystery that arrived on Earth and helped humanity thrive until everything got f***ed up by...wait for it...The Darkness (-_-). The two enemy factions you fight are called The Fallen and The Hive. That's it. That's all they let you know before being tasked with shooting things a lot. I'm sure more will be explained in the full game, but like I said, the worldbuilding is quite poor. Anything left to the full game is just plot details. The mythology and lore is already set in the beta.
Halo, obviously.
When you can write a series of books around a videogame's universe, some that don't even follow the game's story, that's a damn good universe.
Honorable mentions go to ElderScrolls/Fallout. Dark Souls is alright too, once you know what to look for.
@juiceboks: Except Naoto's outward appearance is clearly female from the get-go. It only passes off as male in-universe.
@juiceboks: Really? I didn't know she was supposed to be a guy until someone referred to her as "he." And actually, she has the biggest breasts out of all the P4 girls. She just wraps them in bandages.
