Not at all. ME2 ended on a much more appropriate note.

[Erszebeth]

I had loads of fun playing ME2. Replayed it on insanity several times, too.
I didn't have any fun playing ME3. To much doom and gloom, some wow moments and good banters but still, didn't feel so much as a game.

[Bio Addict]

I like the feel of the combat in ME3 the best but, now that it's all said and done, I think I prefer ME2 overall. I suppose the Mass Effect series is the Star Wars trilogy of video games in more ways than one.

I'm replaying ME2 right now.  The story is a lot better.  The combat system sucks compared to 3.

As of right now, Mass Effect 2 imo is the best in the Trilogy followed closely by the first. The third one, I just don't know anymore.

The squad in ME2 was my favorite of the three games. I enjoyed the comments they’d make during various missions and how the comments reflected the squadmates’ personalities. For example, during Grunt’s recruitment mission, you can tell a wounded Blue Suns merc to “find a shady spot to bleed out.” Jacob will ask you if that comment was necessary but Zaeed will laugh. You get a different response from each person, not the same response in a different voice.

To me this gave the game a lot of replay, as I wanted to experience different squadmate banter and reactions to the missions. Thanks to ME2 I also replayed the original Mass Effect several more times so I could import those characters and continue their stories.

Other little nuances also gave the game replay value. I loved how shop owners on the Citadel were super-nice to my characters that saved the council and how hostility was shown towards humans on the Citadel in playthroughs for characters who didn’t. I enjoyed hearing the Galaxy News reports tailored to my characters’ backgrounds and choices from ME1. Like I said, small touches.

I like ME3…up until the final 10 minutes. The final 10 minutes aren’t game breaking in the sense that the previous ME games are ruined, or even that ME3 is totally ruined. I still enjoyed the majority of the game. But at this point I don’t feel the same desire to take all of my characters through ME3 as I did with ME2.

[SlyTF1]

I think the story and gameplay are better in ME3, but the characters and ending where better in ME2. I still like ME3 best over all.

[Purge the heathens]

I don't know. ME2 was a great game and the story revealed some details about the Reapers which were both cool and creepy in my opinion, but overall, it felt like filler. The Collectors are fought a whole three times and then they're... gone. If the Reapers are lunch, the Collectors are that little afternoon snack before you get to dinner, which is again the Reapers.

Gameplay was much more enjoyable in ME2, squad mates didn't feel like encyclopedias on legs, but it also took some of the magic out of ME with its grittiness. For example, the asari became more, how should I put it, mundane. There's asari cops, corrupt corporate asari executives, obstructive asari bureaucrats and Aethyta, who, though entertaining, was, well, Aethyta. At least Samara made up for it a bit. Then there were all those daddy issues, and Omega and the mercenaries and, and, and... And. And suddenly, it wasn't my magical, glamorous space opera anymore. And they softened up the science a lot, I think.

It is the worst game of the trilogy IMO - and still awesome.

[urborg74]

In terms of story, definitely like ME2 better (the ending obviously FAR better).

That said, I prefer the combat in ME3...more transitional, dynamic, etc.

[j78]

loved ME2 . The side missions in M.E.3 are awful they kills the pace of the game for me. I run around the citadel like a mad man checking over and over to make sure I didn’t miss anything and Don’t get me stared on that journal. ME2 felt a lot less scattered.

[UBER GEEKZILLA]

i think ME2 was better too...it was darker, and well.....about as flawless as game get. ME3 had a bad journal system, more technical glitches then ME2, and the endings were dissapointing ( but i accept them)

overall

ME2 is The Empire Strikes Back of the trilogy

and ME3 is the Return of The Jedi of the trilogy

ME2 did so much right it was nearly impossible for ME3 to do even better

[Zanath]

No you're not. I also think it was the best of the serie. ME1 was a bit dry, ME3 screamed too much "casual and money" (and had the dreadful endings). ME2 had a weak overall story (but they ALL had a rather weak overall story), had a horrible deus ex machina ("yeah we coincidentally find a functionnal Reaper just when we need it, and it somehow doesn't raid a big fuss"), but it had very nice narrative, lots of characters and lots of banter.

[Ryuukishi]

I agree ME2 was the best. ME1's story is amazing but the gameplay feels clunky and tedious next to 2. And ME3 was in large part a continuation of ME3's strengths, but overall it wasn't quite as good (and of course the ending is a big aspect of that).

[coldwetn0se]

I too came in to the series late (have always been really bad at shooters. I spent more time in "Valhalla" in Too Human, than alive....HA!) , so I got ME2 first. Played through it four times, back to back. Ordered a copy of ME1. Loved it as well. Only real complaint in ME1 was driving the mako and shooting from it (again, not the games fault....mine. Just really really bad at it), and some combat issues. Still loved it.

ME3, had glitches right off the bat (and had really bad problems with the A action button....cover, NOT roll!). Couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do half the time (journal not really helpful), and for me losing out on my ME2 squaddies (goodbye Thane *sniff*) was the end of it for me. Didn't even really care about the end after that......didn't finish the game.

ME2 &ME1>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ME3

ME2 was definitely better.
Exploration was actually exploration, I.E you had to go scanning planets to find many interesting side missions, and then actually go down to the planet and do whatever had to be done.
ME3? Scan, evade reapers, done....
Also ME2 had a lot more consequences to ones actions.
For instance, in my renegade playthrough I betrayed tali, and did not gain her loyalty and she subsequently died in the suicide mission.

ME3 has zero consequences for the grand finale.
There is no real consequence to betraying the krogan, the quarians or others, the outcome of the game is still exactly the same.

[CDMA ss]

No you are not, ME2 is way better indeed.

The combat animation in ME3 is absolutely horrible, probably the worst I've ever seen.
BW, I just dont understand if you cant make it better, why changed it ????? ME2 animation was totally fine. 
You just made Shaperd look like a retard thanks to you.

You should fire those amatuer animators and your supervisor for being such a low standard.

No repect for you this time, but I will put my last hope on ME4. If that goes wrong again, shame on you Bioware.
And good luck to your business. 

[Elvis_Mazur]

Nope, IMO, it's the best game of the trilogy.

[PolyonymousC]

MASS EFFECT 2 was superior in every way I can think of, save combat and weapon and armor modifications,and graphics. Some moments in ME3 are powerful... but so much just falls sooooo short.

[TomY90]

Dialogue wise, character development and ending ME2 wins hands down.

Story its a tough call between ME1 and ME3 (if you discount the ending) but due to the ending its ME1.

gameplay ME3 wins.

sadly for ME3 it had so much to live up considering how perfect ME2 was.

 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.

ME2 had a better denoumant, but there's no way it's climax was any better than ME3s. ME3's climax culminated with Shepard and two squadmates defeating a Reaper Destroyer, making a suicide run to the beam, and confronting TIM with Anderson on the Citadel. It was poetic and beautiful. Everything that happened after that was the crap denoumant, but no way did ME2 top that.

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.

If the number of squadmates = better game, then it would have been pretty easy to make ME3 better, no? Why stop at 12? Why not 24? To me interaction with characters > number of characters. You could chat with Garrus about 4 times in ME2, 6 if you were romancing him. That pretty much goes for all characters except for Legion who had even less interaction. Not to mention that the characters of ME3 actually got out of their rooms and interacted with each other. ME3 for the win there. 

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.

You got to see the homeworlds, or nearabouts, of nearly all the main races of the game, and again, the interactivy between characters on those planets? Pure joy. Take Javik along with Liara to Thessia for a great example. 

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

You're kidding right? Because Shepard as a bit more autodialogue, you don't think you controlled the story? In ME3, you decide whether you shoot Mordin Solis in the back, kill Ashley/Kaiden on the Citadel, or make Tali choose to jump off a cliff, or you can make peace between factions, or you can not. There are tons of decisions to make in ME3, very weighty decisions pre-endings.  

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. 

You criticize BioWare for trying to make an FPS, yet all they did was port over the same FPS controls from ME2 and polish them up a bit. There's room for opinions, I guess, but you sir don't seem to have any idea what you're talking about.

[wildannie]

Of course ME2 was better, ME3 is a calamity.

[MelfinaofOutlawStar]

They could have stopped at ME2 and I would have been happy.

[Merwanor]

Mass Effect 3 is the best of the series, there is no question. It took the best parts of ME1 and ME2 and combined it into one epic journey.

Agreed.
