Play it but be warned the gameplay isn't as fun or fast-paced as ME2.

ME1 has better RPG elements while ME 2 is GOW wanabe with ammo clips that don't make any military sense.

Don't turn this into a flame-war of what an RPG is, etc. All the OP is asking is ME1 worth playing and the most of us are saying yes, it's worth it.

RPG element like? And please don't say inventory. Almost every non-RPG game has that.

[Zanallen]

Sure. If you have a 360 or a PC that can handle it, why not? Its a good game and adds to the story of ME2 and 3. I personally prefer ME2, but the first game is good and worth a play through.

[The Spamming Troll]

ME1 is better then ME2 in every aspect accept graphics.

ME2 doesnt offer me anything another game didnt do 100 times better.

[Eire Icon]

Playing Mass Effect 2 and 3 without experiencing Mass Effect 1 is like having sex with just your socks on. Sure you may enjoy it, but its wrong and its not impressing anyone

Point-based Non-combat skills (Decryption, Charm, Intimidate). Granted, they're much more simplistic than other RPGs, but still not as streamlined (or nonexistent) as in ME2.
Weapon and armor mods.

reduced inventory to guns carried and interchangeable weapon/armour mods removed (grenades removed completely),  reduced abilities and therefore character development while leveling and a general nerfing of all classes. not to mention the difference between choice effects from ME 1 to 2 was for the most part limited to email or a word here and there...

Get it, more for your sake of understanding the story and some characters than for the gameplay.

^this. Played ME2 a bunch of times, then got and played ME1.  Combat in ME1 is terrible compared to ME2, but you will enjoy the story and realize why its a shock Shepard is working with Cerberus in ME2.

[alex90c]

reduced inventory to guns carried

are you saying the fact that most classes carry less guns or the actual number of weapons you can actually get? because if it's the latter, then well, in ME1 there were like two gun designs and about a million retextures whereas every gun in ME2 was different and far more distinctive.

interchangeable weapon/armour mods removed

ammo powers fulfill pretty much the same purpose as weapon mods, and things like tech armour, GSB, fortification and barrier are quite similar to armour mods considering all four of them boost your shielding/barriers just like the shield modulators did in ME1.

grenades removed completely

tbh, personally I hardly ever used them except on Feros when I used the anti-thorian gas. besides, grenades are coming back in ME3.

reduced abilities and therefore character development while leveling

what do abilities have to do with character development? that's like saying if you romance Miranda her character won't actually develop as much as if you say, romance Ashley in ME1 because Ashley had more abilities available for you to level up. what?

all ME2 did (and it's one of the few cases of streamlining I actually approve of) was get rid of a whole load of pointless powers and made the level-up screen far more manageable.

a general nerfing of all classes

URBAN DICTIONARY:

Nerf - To make worse or weaken, usually in the context of weakening something in order to balance out a game.

no, classes were not weakened at all. hell, vanguard was pretty heavily buffed in ME2 with the addition of charge so now you could shotgun guys to the face for one-shot kills. the only nerfing that really happened was in order to make the game actually balanced since ME1 biotics were just overpowered like hell. getting rushed by a load of krogan? slap a singularity in front of yourself, they'll all get sucked in to it and float. no singularity available and enemies are clumping up though at a distance? well, just use lift. they'll all just start floating making them incredibly easy to kill.

not to mention the difference between choice effects from ME 1 to 2 was for the most part limited to email or a word here and there...

and how does that mean ME2 has less RPG elements? it's meant to bridge the time between ME1 and ME3 so Bioware can't go round making decisions from ME1 have a mass(ive) effect (excuse the pun) in ME2 because all that does is make creating ME3 an absolutely torturous task having to accommodate to massively different world states. in ME3, the things we've done in the previous two games will all come to fruition and then Bioware can go all out by letting us make the truly masive decisions that affect the state of the galaxy during the game and post-invasion.

---

and now once again I await someone to tell me how ME2 had less RPG elements than ME1.

[CrazyCatDude]

To the OP, yes, you should. ME1 is a terrific, if flawed game, with an amazing story.

To Last Vizard: Dude, first, learn to ignore Market Speak. They want to attract new customers, so of course they're going to say ME3 is the best place to enter the trilogy, because "In order to buy out $60 - $80 dollar game and enjoy it you need to plunk down money on the previous 2 and burn 70 hours to finish them" won't sell games. Bioware is a company, it's their job to make a profit. Contrary to popular belief, that's not a crime. As to the "stripping of RPG elements" Inventory systems like ME1's are a horribly dated, annoying mechanic that's carried over from the Random look tables of AD&D, and wasn't fun then. I've been playing RPG's, both computer and Pen and Paper for twenty-five years, and have always found it a lot more fun when I could play the way I wanted, instead of breaking out a spreadsheet every time I killed a mob to see if the random crap filling up my inventory game me an additional point of damage an hour. The inventory system as implemented in ME2 let me spend a lot more time enjoying the actual game play and the story, and a lot less time at the vendor selling crap, or on the inventory screen converting it to omnigel.

[Mr. MannlyMan]

YES, get ME1. If not for the gameplay, then certainly for the story and the import variables. Plus, the Genesis comic doesn't even mention several key points from the first game, the most notable being Feros and the Thorian/Cipher.

And, really, why would you burn time WATCHING ME1 playthroughs on Youtube when you could play the game, make the choices, and explore the universe yourself? If you're frustrated by the combat, scale the difficulty down and burn through the gameplay segments.

Systems like ME1's, you say? What was stopping Bioware from fixing the inventory system, and updating it, instead of removing options for customization? 
As to them "not" stripping the RPG systems down, Bioware has already conceded that they went too far with it, so the argument is moot. Bioware DID strip away too many RPG elements according to the opinions of many fans and critics, they've accepted that criticism as an error on their part, and they're working to correct it for ME3.

And traditional loot/inventory systems are not outdated; they're basically a collection interface where you can view your belongings ingame, and use items as you see fit to solve the problems you come across.. Ask Minecraft, Borderlands and TES fans whether they'd rather have their inventory removed from the game. I doubt it'd go over well, as those games are practically married to traditional inventory, and they're not at all outdated.

Yes. Get it. Play it. Right now.

Why are you still reading this? I said go get ME1 and play it!

[Belisarius09]

I would say get it. Also if you're happy with your character from me2, you shouldn't worry about me1 ruining that character. It would only serve to enrich said character and increase you shepards depth. You can still have him be a rough and tough soldier with a heart of gold if you like.

Also, as for class. Soldier was way better in me1 than it was in me2, but if you're insistent on switching, more power to you.

[panamakira]

That's a good question. I recently got ME2 because I want to play ME3 and not feel lost. Reason I didn't play it before was because I'm not into FPS games but the RPG elements in the game made me change my mind and I'm loving the game so far. The story is pretty awesome.

Anyway there's a lot of stuff I don't understand but reading the ME wiki helps. I wonder if I should get the first one too~

[mikx82]

I have the same dilemma here.. i personally havent played Mass Effect 1 since i dont have an xbox360 and i have been thinking about getting it for the PC. but with all this "digital download only" and Origin, i find myself holding back. Number 1 reason is because i dont like to play my game thru Origin. that's why i like my Single Player games coz i dont need to be connected to the internet to play. Was planning to install ME1 on my laptop if i get it.

Is there any way of getting the game and NOT play it thru Origin?

i wana just be able to pick up and play on my laptop whenever and wherever i please..

anybody know anything about this?
