 Regardless of the awful endings in ME3, I thought ME2 was superior in so many other ways. 

The way the suicide mission played out and the amount of choice you could make as it went that could result in squad mate deaths was fantastic and engaging. I expected something similar but on a larger scale in this game. Instead I was just shooting at the same Reaper hordes I'd shot at all game, with no clue or control over the outcome of my friends or the war as a whole. 

There were 12 squad mates who were more fleshed out than the 6 we had here. BioWaresaod they cut squad mates down so they could focus on them and give them more story. The squad mates in this game barely had more to say than DLC characters Kasumi and Zaeed. 

Game world felt larger, more diverse and alive. Our mission to recruit 12 people for a suicide mission seemed to take us to such varied parts of the galaxy. 

I controlled the story and my Shepard, instead of sitting back and watching a scene of BioWare's choices roll. 

What I can't forgive is how Bioware is now making games worse than their prequels. When you can't even hit the same notes as the first game you made then something is wrong. First it happened with DA and now with ME. If Bioware is so desperate to make an FPS then just ale a new IP and do it. But stop trying to repackage games and slyly give us a serial which is nothing like the game we originally loved.

I personally liked ME2 the best out of the series. Endings aside, ME3 was most definately targeted at the lowest common denominator. Too much auto-dialog and scanner quests for sidequesting lol.

Beyond the fact the MP is pretty much 100% targeted at shooter players. It has zero RPG value.

It felt good playing and finishing ME2.

I felt groggy after finishing ME3, went to the fridge and had two beers.  Then I said: "Damn, I just saw the perfect simulation of defecation."

wile i did enjoy me2 i thought the story was a huge hit and miss. i will say though the getting to know your squad stories were nice and made up for alot of things

imo i feel me3's story is the true continuity to me1's story

now gameplay i think thats a tie between me2 and me3 honestly

I also disliked the lazy way side missions were handled. I literally walk around the Citadel and eavesdrop on people.

WHAT?!

While the endings are bad, I hope they don't overshadow the other lazy problems with this game.

No you're not the only one. ME2 will always be the highlight of the Mass Effect series for me. So many great memories from that game... aahhh <3

ME2 was the best in the series IMO. But the other two games are awesome too.

i don't think they wanted to repeat themselves with that same forumlae again. Brilliant build up, character loyalty making, and climax to me2 but it would easy to simply repeat that again.

Thats why i respect and love metal gear sold 3. If snake conveniently ended up in a complex with keycards 1-6 again...running back and forth just so they could repeat that formulae then thats just lazy

I liked ME1 best even with all of it's flaws like the elevator loads, and the annoying inventory system.

ME2 was great but the watered down citadel and less exploration hurt it.

ME3...

I personally think ME2 was better because of the variety of outcomes you can get, And the Omega music. And the general tone wasn't depressing as ****.

Find the rocket on Amberin Prime..find the nest of wishes on Romulus 7..find the dagger of Chukulu on Krogan Find the meaningless missions that add nothing to the story

Excatly, ME2 was way better than ME3 in many aspects included animations and graphics. Most significantly we had full control over story and outcomes and there were not abundant amount of auto-dialogues like in ME3.

ME1 still stands the best of all three. Sadly it has gotten worse and worse with every installment, somehow.

I actually like having an inventory. ME's inventory just wasn't very good. I like the Deus Ex tile based inventory the best.

ME2 just always felt like filler for me and it was proven in the 3rd game where all the characters and things that happened barely mattered at all and the characters were shafted.

It did some cool things with the combat and the presentation but they did the same but better in ME3 so i can't think of much that ME2 had that wasn't done better in the other two games except the variety of characters. In the other games the characters are too similar to each other.

But yeah ME2 is my least favorite it feels the most flawed to me. It also didn't have endings that were that great but it could get away with it since it was a cliffhanger ending.

And what the heck was going on with the Human Baby Reaper? I never quite got that and anyones explaination of it still makes no sense to me.

No. There are plenty of people who agree that ME2 was better, I literally fell in love with the suicide mission and then ending of ME2.

Mmm...me too. The suicide mission and ending were so EPIC I felt like a total badass. It was the culmination of all the hard work Shepard put into recruiting people and gaining their loyalty. I actually reloaded the suicide mission a couple times so I could relive that feeling.

Now I want to replay ME2.

Not sure .. as I haven't played ME3. Not that it is that much on my mind at present due to some of the issue that are being discussed at the moment.

I absolutely loved ME, but i must admit ME2 is simply awesome.

There isn't really anything about it i dislike, heck i even enjoy planet scanning.

Not playing ME3 until ending debacle fixed but from what i've seen, it looks worse in totality than the previous 2. (based upon things that put me off/bother me)

I prefer ME2 by quite a bit. I coudl replay that game several times and come up with new stuff. ME3 has little replayable value. I'm on my third, and I'm grinding it out because I already know that what I do means squat. There are some great moments in ME3, especially incidental dialogue, but it was a sizeable step backward.

ME3 is still the best imo. Actually, to me, 2 is the "worst" in the trilogy (though t's still a fantastic game)
