For me i'm probablya blasphemer in the way i can play through ME2 way more than ME1. I've done ME1 3 times and the third time just really felt like it dragged on. You need to do a lot more running around and talking in that game and once you have heard all the story it can be very tedious. It's a great game but a lot more slow moving than ME2 which i feel is way more pick up and play.

You are thrown right into the action so it's a bit more exciting right from the start and more bearable for me on multiple playthroughs. I got to 6 playthroughs before it felt tedious and the DLC has only helped to pad out the game and it's felt longer and longer through every playthough. When they finish all the DLC for it i think that will be the last time i do a full playthrough of ME2. For ME1 it's way harder to bother to play it all the way through again.

But then i have plenty of other games to play.

I prefer ME2 as well, so you're not alone. 

THIS IS MADNESS!!! How can you prefer ME2 over ME1? I know the gameplay is a lot better is most ways (aside from Biotics <_<) but the story of ME1 is so much better. You know it to be true, even if you deny it. I think I'll stop now, though before we get into another hour long debate like Starcraft 2.

Saying "this is madness" Is a heavy risk, sir.

But the prize...

I only started playing in september and I have already gone through three playthroughs and I am starting my 4th one tomorrow. Yes I know, I have no life.

Considering the hardcore fans(they have 10+ playthroughs such as myself) are at least 80% of the players, you're basically in the category of "doesn't play much" honestly. lol

Hardcore fan, BAH! You prefer ME2 you are not a hardcore fan. Ok, maybe I'm just a ME1 Fan boy...

How about playing some other game?

There are plenty of great games out there.

My recommendation list:

The Battle for Middle-Earth II
Battlefield 2
The Orange Box
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty
EVE Online
Civilization V

Already been talkin' about that one.

Well, I recommended it again
It doesn't beat BFME2 or Supreme Commander in my opinion, but it's an awesome RTS game.

When it's the only new game you have for a few months you play it.  And I've had it since release too.

I love both games equally. I've probably played ME1, hmm.... lets say 12 times since launch and ME2... around seven. I kinda wish I was more bored with it. Every game I've picked up this year until now, Metro 2033, Red Dead Redemption for eg. I've started, but can't finish as I always go back to ME2.



What I'm enjoying at the moment is a 'my canon' replay of ME1, preparing to import into a 'final canon' ME2 playthrough. I absolutely LOVE finishing ME1... watching the end credits and then popping ME2 in and seeing the destruction of the Normandy in the prologue. Always gives me chills.



I know many people disagree - but I love the character continuity between the two games - the audio news reports (dead hostages from Bring Down the Sky) and emails (Toombs!), make me completely believe I'm playing MY Shepard and owning his good and bad choices.



Weird fact: in a total of 18 playthroughs of both games I've played one female character, two renegade infiltrators, the other 15 being my identical vanguard, colonist, sole-survivor, paragade canon character. Still not bored of him!

[curly haired boy]

with close to 300 hours spent on each mass effect game...they haven't gotten boring yet.



my backlog of other games is immense, though, so after this ME1 playthrough i'm gonna take a hiatus and play other things. let my hunger build up again.

This guy knows what's up. 

Yeah, I loved the emails ESPECIALLY Lorik Quiin's email. 

and side missions that reference the books and whatnot too. Cyniad side mission was epic for story and cause Shepard does a spartan kick.

 It's more than that. 

Babylon 5 = Citadel
Human psychics = human biotics (including an analog in the BAaT facility, and the fear/paranoia of psychics in general)
Argumentative and petty council of alien ambassadors = argumentative and petty council of alien ambassadors
Shadowy rogue government org with radical pro-human agenda = Cerberus
Ancient evil race with vastly superior tech, the Shadows = Reapers
Ancient good race with vastly superior tech that is now gone from the universe, which is key to the defeat of Big Bad (Vorlons) = Protheans

There's much, much more that directly correlates to something in Babylon 5, but I haven't bothered keeping notes. The number of similarities and their relation to the overarching narrative is way beyond mere inspiration. It's borderline plagiarism. 

At least they picked an outstanding sci-fi series to rip off, I'll grant them that. 

That is pretty shocking. I've never watched Babylon 5 properly so i was not aware of how much is pretty much ripped off. I knew Bioware had some questionable skills in writing at times but needing to take other material and just re-write it to suit your needs is a bit of poor creative skill.

I strongly disagree with "Bioware ripped off B5."

I watched B5, and the creator of that show generously borrowed from Lord of the Rings, classic science fiction, etc.  JMS has admitted it; it's hard not to when your show has a planet called Z'ha'dum and LotR has a location called Khazad-dûm.

To point out some differences between ME and B5:
Citadel != B5.  The Council actually has governing power.  B5 had ambassadors, no common government, and no race had any authority over anyone else.
Human psychics in B5, notably the Psi Corps, were on a massive power trip.  Not so with biotics in ME.
Ancient evil is nothing new.  Tolkien, Lovecraft, etc. 
You can't really compare the Vorlons to the Protheans; the Vorlons were still around intact in the B5 universe, and weren't exactly the good guys (remember the planet killer?)  The new races, in fact, kick both the Vorlons and the Shadows out.

I respectfully disagree, ME isn't plagarism.

[AdmiralCheez]

I agree with HappyHappyJoyJoy: while Mass Effect, like every other work of fiction out there, borrows from the best of those that came before it, it still manages to be original.



As for boredom? I'm not there yet. I've only completed ME1 and ME2 three times each! (It's funny that I say "only," because that's well over 100 hours of total game time...) I also have yet to burn out StarCraft 2 (and the original is still there for me to abuse), plus there's Dragon Age...



Stupid college, getting in the way of the important stuff! Can't you see I'm trying to play video games?!

Lorik Quiin sends an email? I never saw that one - I got his data in ME1, I wonder why it didn't trigger.

You probably gave it to Gianna. You have to give it to Lorik without having him testify, but you basically screw her over. But in ME2 you get the best email EVER. So it works out, and she isn't even really mad with you when you meet her on Illium anyways.

If you do that though then you don't get that kiss on the check from Gianna, who wouldn't want that.  lol.

I thought I did give the info to Lorik with one of my Shepards, but I can't remember the email. What did it say?

He said "if you decide to come back to Noveria and, what is it, upset the fruit cart, let me know and I'll steer clear" Or something like that XD.

I know for me I did recently start a ME1 play through. By recently I mean in August and havent played it more than two hours. But I am going to start a couple ME1 play throughs over the next couple months to port to ME2 to prepare for ME3. Just to do different choice things. such as rachni, councilor choice and what not. I need to prepare for ME3 by spring, I'll be taking a trip to Afghanistan and I expect ME3 to come out while I'm away, or when I return the following spring

[Destroy Raiden_]

Yeah I stopped playing after #10 I got my Fsheps through a few times and my one Mshep I play 2 way less then 1 I must've played that 100 times or more sense I kept going till I was nearly tired of my 6 Fsheps 1 was more enjoyable then 2 is as far as story and epicness goes.
