I got addicted to ME1 at a friend's house when it was only out for X360 (and I think no future PC port was announced at that time either), but never really got deep into the story, I just liked the overall feel and vibe. When it came out for PC I grabbed it right away, didn't really have a grounded reason for that, but I jumped ship anyway. Didn't regret for a second. Since then, my fate has been sealed.

Nice, I like this topic.

I had just got my xbox 360 back from Microsoft, it had endured the red ring of death and I was looking for something good to play. I had seen this trailer

and though I would check it out.
Bought it played until I got to the Citadel, and then abandoned it for Assassin's Creed.
After finishing AC, I saw it in my game pile and told myself I should finish it. Popped it in, and didn't quit playing it for about 5 straight hours. Every night after that I played for a couple of hours until I finished it, then played it again with a new Shepard.
Loved it ever since....my favorite game and series.

I was hooked on the premise from the very first teaser.

I had seen ME1 in the shop so many times, but never felt the urge to buy it it looked cool but my brother kept saying that it was an RPG, a crappy genre for games. Everytime I watched it lying ther in the shop I 'heard' my brother say I wouldn't like it, that it would be a waste of my money. I never bought it.

But then came ME2, I recognised it and was heavily considering to buy it, and a after a while I did it, It turned out to be my favourite game that I ever played and the RPG genre is now the genre that I like the most. I will never listen to my brother again I regret not buying ME1 in the past but I'm not going to buy anymore because now it is a little bit out dated

Friend: "DUDE THIS GAME HAS BOOBS IN IT!"

Me: "What kind of game?"

Friend: "SCI-FI!"

Me: *buys*

I knew about ME1 when it was released, but I wasn't too interested in RPG's. I played mostly first person shooters. ME1 got lots of hype in the gaming forums, still I ignored it. Then the tv show "Chuck" came out and I became a fan of Strahovski. Her involvement in the game caught my attention, but still I don't play RPG's. Then I saw the piece on Scifi channel on ME2 (Sci vs Fi or something like that). It looked interesting enough that I pre-ordered it on Steam.

After playing ME2, I wanted more of the ME universe so I bought ME1.

I'm very much a latecomer to the series - I was given ME1 about a year ago as a gift, but I had never heard of the game or the series (I'll admit, I only really got into gaming in the past year or two). I looked it up briefly on Wikipedia, and basically learnt that it was a sci-fi RPG/shooter hybrid in space with aliens, which is kinda the best sub genre known to man, and that it had a 90 metascore, so it must be pretty good. Curious, I tried it, and then managed to waste every single afternoon, 5 hours a day, playing it for the next week. It wasn't until towards the end of the game that I really realised how great it was - I considered stopping playing at one point, after I'd done Therum, Noveria and Feros, the latter of which I found pointless and irritatingly difficult, as well as about 5 hours of Mako-ing and another 2 hours of inventory management, but then I played Virmire, and pretty much since that point I've been absolutely hooked. I think the day after completing it, I recommended it to a friend during a conversation, when he told me he'd played it and that a sequel had come out in January. I, pretty much immediately, ran to the shop and bought it, and, well, that only made me love the series even more than I did already. So I bought Overlord, and that did the same thing again.

I saw a lot of reviews who all said it (ME2) was awesome, and I couldn't help drooling over what they said it offered, so eventually I bought it. Sadly, it took me quite a while to buy the first as well. Man, sometimes the stupid; it hurts.

[Kasai666]

Saw the ME3 trailer last year, had games to trade in and got ME2 brand new for 14 bucks. beat it in 4 days due to work and the like. Got ME1 a few weeks ago and I've beaten it 2 times so far, and I'm playing as I write this. I plan on getting the books and comics soon.

[Dannyboy9876]

It was on special offer in my local store, with an Xbox and Halo 3.

Played half of Eden Prime (had no clue what was going on), then played Halo 3. After i got bored of that, I played Mass Effect again. ****in gorgeous.

And since then, I've bought ME2 on every system it's available on (although I don't have an XBox anymore......)

[Rawke]

I was hit by Mass Effect. Literally. It fell from a shelf in a big electronics store right on my head when I was reaching for a game on a lower shelf.

I discovered mass effect, in a article by the official xbox magazine.The article was about how the game was banned in many places.

[Joshua N7]

By commercial, but at the time I had a PS3. Years later when I got my 360 I remembered seeing the commercial and I was like "I should get it." By a miracle they still had it, it even came with the Bring Down the Sky DLC! =D

I used to be a stuck-up ****** who only liked Valve and Betheda games and thought that every other game is absolutely terrible, even if I'd seen trailers and reviews. The only way you could get me to play a game was if it was ass-cheap or if I had played it before for free. I remember seeing the Tali trailer for ME2 and thinking "wow, those are some nice suits those humans are wearing. I wonder if you can get and wear them in game. Kind of reminds me of Entropia Universe..." I was stupid at the time and thought it was some sort of MMO. I quickly forgot about the event and didn't even remember what game it was from.

So last year during the E3 sale event on Steam, Mass Effect 1 was on sale for $5. Bought it 'cus it was cheap, played it, and in two days I had finished it.
I have yet to have an event change my life and/or open my eyes in such a way.

I immediately loved the game. I didn't even know that there were side quests, or that you could even go around your ship and talk to people until after stealing the Normandy from the Citadel. I then played it again, and again, and then did a completionist (did everything, including all the 'finding obscure items that you'll never need' quests) playthrough on my no-LI cannon. Then did a FShep Renegade on hardened, and then New Game + on the FShep Renegade on insainity, this time it was a completionist playthrough. Then I imported my previous MShep Paragon cannon and did completionist playthroughs until he reached level 60 (two full playthroughs). Then I did one more as that lvl60 cannon, recording every cinematic and conversation in the game. 9 playthroughs.

Somewhere in this I bought ME2. It was on sale for $15 after E3 in the EA sales week on Steam. Since then, I have imported those two Sheps and done 7 playthroughs so far. I am in the middle of my 'recording' playthrough to record all the conversations and cinematics.
I plan on doing a completionist insainity run through both ME1 and ME2 by importing/NG+ of my cannon before ME3 release. I plan on getting the special/collectors edition, although I'd prefer to buy it on steam.
Maybe I'll buy it twice...

I remember reading about it in a magazine (can't remember if it was EGM or Game Informer) back in 2006. Since I didn't have a 360 then, I quickly forgot about it. In 2008, after my brother got a 360 for his birthday, I was at my local Gamestop looking for anything interesting to buy. I saw a copy of Mass Effect on the shelf, and remembering what I had read about it, and how the idea of a sci-fi action RPG sounded cool, I bought it. From the moment I popped it in the 360 and started playing, I was hooked, and now it's one of my favorite video game franchises.

Played ME1 after I was blown away by KotOR.

[EliDL]

I was an avid game-holic when I was younger but I started getting tired of the same old kind of stuff at the time and quit video games (at the tender age of 15) altogether to put focus on other things. Years passed and I started to think about rekindling my relationship with my long lost love of games but I was having a hard time finding one that catched my fancy. My brother recommended Mass Effect although he hadn't gotten around to playing it himself. So, I gave it a go and I was hooked. My brother played it a while later and enjoyed it as well as a man shep that romanced Ash.

Around August 2009, I knew that I was getting an Xbox 360 for Christmas, and was looking for any decent games I should get to go with it. I'd seen the trailers for ME2, and they'd really hooked me. So, one of the various games I looked at was Mass Effect. A sci-fi RPG? Hell yeah.

I'd seen the trailers of ME around it's release, but they'd never really grabbed my attention; particularly because I was FAR too engrossed into Star Wars at the time to even care.

But, when I was looking at it later, I just searched up a playthrough on YouTube (from one of those people who does absolutely every game on release)...and the phenomenal story has managed to draw me in like no other game has in history.

12 full playthroughs of BOTH games and counting. I've never, ever played a game so many times within a certain timeframe. It's insane.

Saw ME1 a store in Jan 2010, shortly after getting an XBOX 360, knowing next to nothing about the series. Annoyingly, I bought it, then discovered that ME2 was coming out in about a week. However, I'm glad I got ME1 first now. I actually didn't buy ME2 until December of the same year. Unfortunately, I'm now addicted to the series, and I've sort of ruined my social life entirely because of it. Ah, well. Who needs reality?

[VampireCommando]

I saw like very early alpha footage at E3 2005 i belive? Could of been a diffrent one but i'm pritty sure it was this one for some reason and as soon as i saw it i was like Wow this looks like my kinda game, and well now its more of a passion i even have a N7 tattoo it affected my life that much.

[LuckIs0nMySide]

Being a big fan of KOTOR, Mass Effect caught my eye when it was announced at E3, yet I put it off in favour of playing Bioshock and Assassin's Creed.

However, one day my brother came home having on a whim decided to go out and buy Mass Effect, and I played it having completed the aforementioned games. I was completely blown away, and it instantly became one of my favourite games.

When ME2 was announced I was literally dying from anticipation, and I actually (no joke ) watched the launch trailer day in, day out, to sate said anticipation. Now I just can't wait for ME3.
