Most people in this thread are mentioning the endings, so I'm going to add something new.

The neck animations were not nearly as horrifying in Mass Effect 2 as they are in Mass Effect 3. Hello Traynor did I get any new emails OH MY GOD.

ME2 you can die because of bad choices/not doing loyalty missions. You survive by doing all loyalty missions and making the right choices.

ME3 you are forced into suicide, disregarding all choices and war assets.

ME2 was better than ME3 because of the final mission:
1) choices are reflected
2) you take important decisions
3) there's an awesome (yet abandonned?!?) squad assignments mechanic
4) a shocking yet coherent ending
5) mind-blowing music (we miss you Jack Wall!)
6) closure
7) a freakin' sense of epicness from the Omega-4 relay to the very last scene

It had it all. I have no idea why the wriers didn't go with this winning formula.

Consequences for your choices using game mechanics for one epic final mission.

Also, a satisfying ending.

and come on, the human reaper? Are people seriously forgetting how f***ing lame that was? I guess everything looks sunnier on the other side.

As a boss fight, it was beyond stupid. As a plot twist, I thought it fit into the context of the narrative, given Saren's speech regarding the union of synthetics and organics, the codex entry regarding Dragon's Teeth and Husks, and the nature of the Collectors and the Keepers.

Oh god, can there be one thread where no one is mentioning the ending. Grow up....

Anyway, for me ME2 is better because the final mission properly reflects what you have been doing the whole game, which is gathering elite squad, convincing them, ugrading ship....everything mattered in the final mission, even decisions on that mission mattered. Though I don't agree with the fact that Zaeed can't be the squad leader.

In all honesty, I expected the same in ME3, but upscaled.

Your choice actually mattered in the last mission. Unlike ME1 or 3.

This. I totally agree.

Indeed.

ME2 didn't screw you over for only playing Single Player mode. Granted, that was the only mode, but still, it absolutely sucks the way ME3 is impossible to get 5000 EMS (or even 4000) without Multi Player and thus certain endings are locked out. (and yeah, you hate the endings, the endings are all the same blah blah, whatever, not the point here).

[SynheKatze]

It felt like a complete game and made your choices matter, resulting in a satisfying conclussion.

[Foryou]

Minus the ending. ME2 had more side missions.

I think ME2 had more of everything, except skills and weapon/armour upgrades.

The last level of ME2 is one of the best ever in a game.Watching how all those upgrades protected the ship (made scanning worthwile) choosing who to risk on sub missions and etc.

The only letdown was the T-800 end boss. But even that sort of made sense, Human Reaper - Human shape.

I agree. Would have been awesome if we had the same effect but on a larger scale for the ending of ME3. Would be awesome to see what would happen if you saved the Rachni if you would send in them or the Krogan for a on foot/vehicle confrontation while in the air choose either the Quarians or Geth for air engagments...while either the Asari or Salarians were sent in for covert missions and having either Alliance or Turians taking the brunt of the attack.

Mass Effect 2 should have been the final part, and Mass Effect 3 should have been the middle in most main plot devices. Reapers should have arrived in 2, and the final mission of 3 should have been a suicide run for their only weak spot. It astounds me how the 2nd part of a trilogy was better than the final, for once. That never happens. Second parts are always boring.

[mybudgee]

The main reason was better new squaddies. I.e. : Jack, Grunt and Legion

[poerksen]

ME2 has by far the better final mission. It was great, really immersive and exiting. ME3s final mission is crap, compared to it. I honestly did not think the human reaper was that bad, was kind of looking forward to finding out why the reapers had made it, but ME3 did not give any answers.
ME3s combat is better, everything else is better in ME2.

[Lupus257]

For me there was just that something about ME2 that made me fall in love with it, I can't pinpoint it. I also just have that great sense of nostalgia due to fun memories of the game. Meeting up with Garrus, Tali, finding Liara on Illium, Mordin singing his song, that opening sequence for Thane. Also the personal, nitpicking things, like I thought biotics were better in 2, just because of the animations. Biotic power animations in ME2 were contextual to the power, EVERY power in ME3 was a punching thrust. Oh and the listen and retrieve town missions in ME3, don't even get me freaking started...

[o Ventus]

ME2 was better for all of the stated reasons.

Also, Miranda's arc wasn't just about Oriana.

[dtrain24]

Characters were developed much better in ME2 and the squadmates were more fun.

I also miss Miranda in ME3.

Because I could successfully import my Shepard.

[Kamay]

Like many have said, the ending in ME2 is waaaay better as it was actually a conclusion to the story of ME2..ME3 was supposed to be the ending of the main Reaper story line and we all know how that turned out. Also I have to say Overlord was probably one of the best missions in the entire series and showed how the brutality of Cerberus was very much present.

[Ryuji2]

Honestly? The little things, like scanning a planet and finding an anomaly, thus a side mission(favorite was the quarian camp one).

Or bypassing and hacking things. YES I ACTUALLY LIKED THOSE! Made it feel like you didn't have an omni-tool win button for slicing doors/safes/other things.

Also squadmate interaction dialogue. Garrus, you can tell me you're in the middle of some calibrations as much as you want, I'll still smile every time you say it.

The squad also felt like a tight-knit team where you got to see more of why they are who they are with their loyalty missions and such.

...So many things.

[CrystalCircuit]

Less linear.
