The Shooter Part is realy Worse, that is much better in ME2 or 3. But the rest... ME1 wins. And shooter Part ist not the Important one for me.

[MeanderingMind]

ME1 is my favourite of the 3.

Didn't have any problems with the gameplay or combat. Loved the Mako. The whole game had a sense of space exploration and new, strange worlds that I haven't felt since. Also preferred the Liara we meet in 1, didn't like her style in 2 and switched to Jack (one of the great character evolvements in ME3, sad that 3 is such a failure in other ways).

Has come to the realisation that BioWare isn't what I thought it was and accepted that ME universe ended with ME2, at least for me. Just started another ME1 playthrough to get once again be carried far, far away and have a blast doing it.

Basically nothing I don't like with ME1. Combat is no problem when you among other things realise the system where you have to be trained on the weapon you use and also utilise the special powers associated with it.

Can be an extremely long game if you want to. I'm 15 hours in and haven't even scratched the surface. Loads of interesting side-quests on the Citadel, which by the the way is vast and by far the best version out of the 3 games. Unfathomable that the Citadel we get in the sequels is much less interesting as it is just epic in ME1.

The only ME game where you could tank hardcore with Powers and Upgrades. Shepard and the Mako were made out of depleted uranium tough.

ME1 was good when I first played it. Bioware must have started making that game like 7-8 years ago; launched about 5 years ago. Computer hardware has improved a lot the pass 5 years.

Playing ME1 again, then ME2, and now ME3. I can see how much the game has improved interms of graphics, GUI, and gameplay.

After ME2 and ME3, the only thing that gets me when I replay ME1 is the voice acting. ME2's voice acting was great, especially TIM. ME3's voice acting was even better, even Male Shepard in ME3's voice acting is such a huge improvement over ME2 and ME1.

The gameplay wasn't great, it was a bit tedious (I did like the mako though) but the story makes up for it in every possible way.

Actually, I feel same as OP. When I first played ME1 I liked it, although combat largely felt like a chore and Maco controls were iffy. But when I tried to replay it a year later I've realized that combat is horrendous chore. And inventory... Like a cheap Korean MMO gone horribly wrong.

Plus technically speaking 360 version is nigh unplayable and PC version can cause BSOD. At some point I've actually hoped for PS3 port due to the sheer chance of getting a version that is not screwed up. But judging by ME3 PS3 fiasco Bioware programmers are just ain't good.

ME2 was my first game as well. But I love ME1. Count me as another Mako fan. Some of the planets topography was a bit annoying to get resources. But the feeling of exploration is unmatched by any other game in the series. Landing on unknown Planets is great. The universe feels massive. Sadly this was taken away in the next two games.

Also not too bothered with the combat. It requires more tactical thought about where to use your powers. Combat is much easier in the next two games but I don't like the paper, rock, scissors method they came up with. It makes no sense that I can create a singularity that defies the laws of physics by bending space itself. Yet, it won't affect somebody in armour.

depends on your taste. Shooter mechanics are the least important part of a real RPG

.out of the trilogy ME1 is the closest to an RPG which is why its my favourite

"Am I the only one who hates ME1? "

No you are not. And I hope you and the others enjoy ME3, it was tailor made for you.

[Salis777]

ME1 f**king rules. Some of the quintessential chat with the core teammates, and great missions. Virmire, hell yeah.

M1 had the most epic feel of the series. ME1 was less linear than the two following games and had the most substance to it. Without ME1 there would be no 2 or 3.

[DerberAuner]

ME1 is by far the best part of the series, the only thing that bugs me a bit is that you have basically one hitbox for an enemy and the "autoaim" that essentially makes it impossible to hit enemies in cover, never understood why you cant deactivate that completely.....

Playing Mass Effect one again really reminded me why I loved this series. Then I think about the series' ending and try to push these bad memories away until bioware finally adresses that issue. Hopefully that will be before i reach ME 3 in my new playthrough.....

So, to answer the thread question, I dont think youre alone in your hate of ME 1, but I dont think that your hate is justified. ME1 wasnt a shooter, is was an rpg slightly spiced up with shooter elements, which was why I liked it. If you want to play a shooter, buy battlefield or call of duty 5000 or sth.

When programming games for consoles you have to go after the lowest common denominator

[Navasha]

See, I did exactly the same thing, but came to a wholly different conclusion. I also played ME2 first. I picked it up on a whim basically cause there was nothing else out at the time, and thus I didn't have very high expectations for it. Pleasantly I was surprised that it was a pretty good game. Good enough that I bought ME1 and I found it was an even better game. ME1 had all the exploration elements and RPG mechanics that make games really fun for me.
ME1 sort of reminded me of an old game called Starflight I used to play when I was younger.

[suprhomre]

I can imagine if you played ME2 and then go and play ME1 you might experience the bad gameplay. But, for those like me who played in the right order, ME1 is still a awesome game mostly due to it's story.

[legionaireshen]

Dont hate the game, but the gameplay sucks compare to me2 and me3, so usually play it on easier difficulty

[Salis777]

In Me1 rpg system was really important and action was less nervous. In the others Me2 and 3 they improve the combat system to make it more nervous but the player became more and more spectator in rpg scenes.
In my opinion, I should say :

Me1 :
RPG : +++
Action : +

Me2 :
RPG : ++
action ++

Me3 :
RPG : +
Action : +++

Don't misundertand what's above. RPG is still important in the triology but some things have been lost between every games. Good or not ? it depends on what you waited about the game.

In my opinion the sides quest in Me1 were important to discover the mass effect universe even if they don't have a true impact on the other mass effect games. In Me2 there were a few side quests exept if you take the squadmates quests as one. In that case the side quest define if you survive or not the ending. In ME3 it's quite the same with the war assets system.

I think players (me included) thought side quest should have more impact in the trilogy so they decided to make side quest more important for the game but it became somthing else between the side quest (no true impact) and the main quest (true impact). But doing so they "force" players to do those quests and it became more an action shooter than an rpg. what could lead to the famous three options you get starting ME3 Action/ Rpg/narrative.

Sorry for my english I've tried to be has clear as my english skills are.... :s

I should go !

I played ME2 first yet I think that despite its flaws ME1 is still the best one storywise..

Yes. Because you played dumbed down sequel first. ME had it's problems (slow planet exploration, broken inventory system, strange combat), but it was game that gave you feeling that you're merely little bug in vast space. Sequels were made to appeal larger audience (PS3 users in the first place), and that is always two-sided blade.

Not sure what you're getting at with that PS3 slight. I spent somewhere around 5-6 saturdays playing ME1 at a friend's house because he had it pn 360. ME1 could've been released as is on PS3 and seen similar fan growth. The expanded audience idea was an EA thing to bring in more than just rpg fans...which leaves us with Gears of not-so-Mass-Effect-2.
