Ok so I played through ME2 and I loved it. Now, is ME1 as good as ME2? Im thinking about getting it and playing through both of them with the same character.
Is the ME1 DLC any good?
What about combat?

[BlackyBlack]

ME1 isn't as good as ME2, but the story is better. However, the combat sucks

Still, I play games mostly for the story, so it doesn't really bother me if the gameplay isn't very good

How does it suck? Ive seen vids and it looks similar.
The only difference I see in the two games is that ME1 you cant customize as much, like your armor.

Its the same but different.

Its less linear, but environments repeat a lot.

Personally I find it slower than ME2 and less polished with visuals, but the bonus of importing characters is fun.

The cover system in number one certainly lacks the polish that ME2 had. Whenever I go back to playing the first game after the second it takes me a while to get used to the different style of combat.

Be patient with the first game, get through it, and I think you'll enjoy the payoff.

I played ME1 before ME2... and loved it.  I preferred ME2, but ME1 will always have a place in my heart.  It is not a perfect game, but if you really liked ME2, playing ME1 will be essential.

It depends on what your after in the game. ME has greater RPG aspects than ME2. It has a market system to sell all the weapons and armour you collect over time.



Interestingly enough you may even feel that, despite the graphics and the cover system (which isn't as necessary in ME1) aren't as good as ME2, some aspects of the game may feel like they've taken a step forward rather than back as you might imagine. At least that's the general impression I get from reading some posts on the forums.

If you play your games for the combat, you would probably be disappointed with ME 1. If story, characters and choices are more important for you, then yes, ME 1 is more than worth it, it is in a whole new league compared to ME 2.

I would buy it if I were you. There are big differences though namely combat.

When you say "repeating enviroments," what do you mean? The terrain is similar? Or the exact same layout of levels?

Graphics dont worry me. I play ME2 on medium, so probably ME1 will look great.

Its with side missions.
The planets and bunkers you visit tend to blend together after a few.

short answer: yes.

if you like ME2 you will like ME1 as well. Story kicks in, many say character evolution is even better in ME1. When i moved from ME1 to 2 i missed a lot of things i loved in ME1.
With the time i saw it in perspective and am fine with most of them. Combat is a little different in ME1.. means usually its better to strafe or go in your knees to shoot than to cover. sometimes this makes it more dynamic. i play the last attack on citadel wihout pausing once as example.

inventory and upgrades will surely overwhelm you first but you shortly know what rocks and what doesnt and than you just upgrade to the higher version of the upgrade ammo/item.

so yes, do it. you wont regret it

Some aspects of ME1 are actually better, so I'd say yes.

[hooahguy]

Well I guess that seals it, I will get ME1.

Definitely!

I was the same as you, i played, and finished, ME2 before even trying ME1. I will say that there were aspects of ME1 i actually liked more than ME2. Playing through both as the same character is much more satisfying and you will get more out of the game. I'm not sure why everyone says the combat isn't as good in ME1, i found it to be pretty much the same, but maybe i'm not an experienced gamer like most.

Like what? Besides the story.

Are the side missions longer than they were in ME2?

[gethslayer7]

[piemanz]

Get it,in some respects it's better than ME2.



A lot of people prefer ME2 to ME1.Personelly i slightly favour ME1 but i love them both.

hahaha play it and you'll see what he means. you cant judge mass effect 1's combat through videos..

[hooahguy]

Is there a demo I can play?

[NamiraWilhelm]

Definitely definitely! Plus you'll get more for your money, i believe replay value to be much higher compared to the second game.

Not sure about the demo part but it cant be more than a tenner...

[Jimmie_Rox]

Tbh I still prefer ME1's combat to ME2's, I dunno why I just do. But that's just personal opinion. As far as I know there isn't a demo of ME1 but you'll be able to pick up one pretty cheap, it's about a tenner on steam for example. xD

Edit: Check ebay, looks like they got second hand ones from about 99p + delivery
