Seriously give me one good reason why ME1 is better than ME2?
Story, less linear levels, less cover shooting which is boring after numerous playthroughs, biotics are more fun, rpg elements, exploration, no thermal clips, THE Citadel, no super hero costumes for squadmates, deep experience, longer dialogues, best romance scene in game ever, Normandy doesnt need a fuel, squadmates interaction and news in elevators, customization, no cool comics stuff,...I can go on and on.
If someone wants to respond to me, take as fact that this is my opinion and nothing will change it. And no, no nostalgia. I played ME 1 in January 2010 and played second ME 2 right after. I´m just bored with ME 2 after numerous playthroughs while I can play ME 1 again and again and I still have fun.
Yes you are right, it is your opinion and I cant help that people like yourself have poor taste in video games, however to those who actually have taste in video games will almost undoubtedly say that ME2 is a far superior game in pretty much every aspect. To say ME1 is better than ME2 is a huge insult to the work the ME2 team put into the game.
Story
Now perhaps "chasing down a rouge spectre who plans on bringing back a race of sentient machines who wiped out life in the galaxy 50000 years ago" sounds better on paper than "going on a suicide mission to rescue a bunch of abducted colonists" however I honestly found ME2 a lot more interesting in regards to the story, I think this is because most of the story in ME2 was character driven and about helping your companions tie up any loose ends in their life before they potentially die on the suicide mission. Most of the companions in ME2 were more interesting and far superior to the ones in ME1 and each loyalty mission gave an insight into the companions that we never got in ME1, even Jack who I hated with a passion surprised me on her loyalty mission. While I still dont think much of Jack her loyalty mission did manage to change my opinion of her from thinking that she was just there to appeal to rebellious tweens who think a swear word is the height of coolness, the line "I still get a warm feeling when I get into a fight" goes a lot deeper and is a lot more messed up than I thought. Besides the planets and situations Shepard finds himself on and in are far more interesting than what was in ME1. Even the characters (with the exception of Wrex) were pretty plain and boring in ME1, the Virmire decision was hard for me not because I was attached to both the characters but more because I had 2 people to kill yet only 1 bullet.
less cover shooting which is boring after numerous playthroughs, biotics are more fun, rpg elements, no thermal clips I will put in the one catagory as these are not failures of ME2 as a game but more a failure on your part for sucking at shooters.
ME1 was a cakewalk even on Insanity, Insanity diddnt really make the game harder but instead made the combat more tedious than it already was, spam immunity and you can waltz through the game fine, just point and shoot no skill involved and Insanity does little more than increase the number of hits an enemy can take before he dies, the only good point you have made here is the one about Biotics being more fun but it hardly makes up for all the other flaws in the combat in ME1.
less linear levels, exploration, THE Citadel
There really isnt much more exploration in ME1 than ME2 unless you are talking about the horrible and boring featureless planets you drive the Mako around on, sure the main missions (all 5 of them) were slightly less linear than in ME2 but not by much, for the most part you were still traveling down a straight path to the main objective. As for the side quests there really isnt much point exploring the same 4 interiors over and over and over again, ME2 had far more variety when it came to areas and environments. Also we had the Citadel in ME2 as well as Omega, Illium and Tuchanka which were far more interesting.
customization
What customization? If you are talking about weapons and armour then yes ME1 had more than ME2 but they were all the same just with better stats, once you have the X spectre weapons why use anything else, also as for armour take your pick between Colossus X or Predator H, M or L X.
deep experience, longer dialogues,
You are kidding yourself if you thought ME1 was deep, I think I covered this up the top. Not sure about longer dialogues however its not how long they are but more how interesting they are and ME2 wins there.
