-Guns and powers were more satisfying in Mass Effect 1

-Bioware switching to ammo was the first sign of disregard for there own cannon
-HUD was better in ME1
-Story was better in ME1
-Kaiden is light years ahead of Ashley as a character
-ME3 is by far the worst installment (generally, not counting the endings)
-Final space battle was done wrong (read your own damn codex Bioware)

Shocked at the lack of love for ME1!. The others, whilst great, are not even in the same league imo. I thought this was the general consensus. It certainly is on other forums I visit

[Lee T]

My idiosyncrasy would be :

--------------------------------------
ME2 combat was uninteresting with a rock/paper/scissor level of strategy and one of the worst cover system in the history of cover system. The global cool down was also a step down as it diminished the combo possibilities. The importance of shield/barriers/armor made a few selection of powers way too effective (Overload, Incinerate and Warp). Try playing the collector mission with a Sentinel, Thane and Miranda all with maxed out Warp to see what I mean (on the other hand try playing with classes with powers only affecting the red life bar on insanity).

Playing ME2 combat was "look at color" "apply relevant power", rinse repeat.

I'll place the big ones:

-Mass Effect is just KOTOR without the Star Wars jibberish.

-Mass Effect is not science fiction. Tho ME1 came over as scifi, the sequels became less believable.

-Shepard's auto-dialogue and dream sequences contributed to his character development, and were a good thing, as many people complained he had no char dev.

-Every race in the galaxy that's been given some individual character dev are a stereotypical/archtype/trope, based on human extremes, and can be compared to the ones in SW.
(The Batarians are arabs, Quarians are gypsys, Volus are jews, Krogans are afrikan tribes, Asari are ancient greeks, Turians are russians/romans, Humans are westerners)

-The ending of ME is not space magic, as space magic is what the game is based on:see title of game.

-The idea behind the ending was good, the execution was horrible.

 Unpopular is easy:

 - Joker is annoying, not funny, and the idea of a romance with the glass-boned d!ck is ridiculous.  He is easily in the top five most unappealing characters in all of ME.  I'd have had FemShep steal Charr away from Ereba first, had I the choice.  At least he could call up actual sincerity, even if through bad poetry.  Sometimes bad poetry is the most sincere.

 - Kasumi's best feature is her butt.  That's it.  Calling me "Shep" made me want to punch her in the face.  What am I, your damn sheepdog?  You were wasted in ME3, and boring in ME2.

 - Miranda was as excruiciating as ever, ****** 'n' ass and nothing else. So, at least she was in character.  Every third shot emphasized one protuberance or the other.  I like butts and boobies as much as the next hetero guy, but it gets boring if that's all you ever emphasize.  You know the difference to the Sanctuary bit without her? There wasn't one.  It was still a tedious level.  Also, why are she and Oriana Aussie, but Daddy isn't?

 - The quarians are a race of mostly idiots, who were the authors of their own folly.  They were not victims of anything save their own stupidity.  Also, the Geth Server level was hella boring. It was lore filler and little else.

 - Tali still acts like she's fifteen, which I fear is the point, which keeps the entire romance with her as creepy as hell.  However, apparently creepy is cool with the Talimunchers.

 - Liara gets more expressive and better-looking every game, although she got a little too angstily strident as it went on.

 - Jennifer Hale is not the paragon of VA's.  It's hard to be intimidated by her scratchy renegade whisper, or cranked by tonally oblique seduction voice.

 - Meer has his moments.  More than you think.  More than Hale.

 - Jack is my canon romance.  She was also boring, lame and underused in this game.  Still gorgeous, though. A little slimmer than I remember.

 - The best acted, most appealing women in the game were Liara, Jack, Samara, Bakara and Chakwas, in that order. Traynor had a great voice.

 - "Someone else might have gotten it wrong" was overused, obvious, leading and not poignant.  We frigg'n get it already.

 - I miss neither the Mako nor Hammerhead.

 - There`s nothing wrong with gay or religious crewmembers.  Unless they're douchebags. Or boring.  Or boring douchebags.

 - Vega was tedious and obvious - and I'm glad the Sheps have the option to punch him in the head early on.

 - Ash was a whiny sh!thead, even romanced.  "I'm sorry for what I said, Skipper!"/ "Are you sure you're not still Cerberus?  Are you sure you don't know?  What are you up to?"/ "I love you."  Go to hell, Ash. I certainly want you to think for yourself, but as a religious person, you had a surprising lack of faith in the man you supposedly love.  You can buy something without a shred of evidence, but me you question, after everything?  Bite me, biatch.  Also, she had Kasumi's freaky massive underbite.  Seriously - what is up with that?

 - EDI as sexbot-teach-me-this-thing-called-love/kissing was unnecessary, trite and stupid.  It added perspective to nothing.  We get it.  She's the nice robot that likes humans.  Speaking of robots:

 - Geth are not and will never be alive.  Nor EDI.  Nor the Reapers.  A robot is a robot is a robot, no matter how well it mimics sentience. This is a massively stupid Sci-fi quasi-metaphysical staple that needs to be done away with, as would any programmer stupid enough to program a machine with a desire to exterminate all organics, which would actually be a necessary first step.  Lovely-voiced Xen is right, everyone else is misguidedly sentimental and wrong.  They do not possess mind, they possess program.  The human mind likened to a computer comparison is also wrong.  Our brains do not work that way.  Sorry, bot lovers.  EDI was almost entirely a pander. Helfer didn't take long to get typecast, did she?

 - Wrex went from badass to gruff uncle.  May as well just had an interrupt to kick him in the quad twenty times.  Same diff.

 - The most poignant romances in this game were Charr and Ereba and the "Asari Widow" Weshra and her dead bondmate at the Monastery.  Kudos to their massively underrated VA's.  

 - Falare was pretty but needed a smack upside her head.

 - The funniest bit in this game is Blasto 6, Partners-In-Crime.  Animate and release this, Bioware.  DO IT.  Also, hanar and elcor action figure.  NOW.

 - The default Asari Councillor is dead-on appealing and her voice is sexy.

 - The best VA's in this trilogy are the underrated Wendy Braun (Gianna Parasini and 300 others) and Neil Ross, the guy what reads the Journal.  Close on their heels, Keith David (goes without say'n) and Courtney Taylor.  Carolyn Seymour and Claudia Black are also in this group.

 - I neither hated the endings nor felt the need to get self-righteous over them.  That said, they were cut to hell, and definitely need expansion.

 - I was not a fan of this soundtrack.  It was disjointed and uneven.  ME2's was freakin' epic.

 - Mordin's new VA did a decent job.  He could have been much, much worse.

 - Multiplayer is still completely unnecessary.

1. "Mass Effect" never had that much "choice" to begin with.

2. The "Mass Effect" plotline was never that good.

3. Space magic, plotholes, and consistency issues have existed throughout the entire trilogy.

ME's Plot was alright, but one and three hit the nail on the head, I don't even want to post the rest of my ideas because this covers the main points. 

[NickelToe]

-Multiplayer sucks
-Multiplayer is only about a cash grab and has no real game to it except to catch you when you are not "Price Sensitive"
-Casey Hudson should never produce/write again and is qualified to write the story, "Would you like fries with that?" a Triple Threat dark ending to his day working at his new job producing the burger line at a burger king.
-Rainbow Bright Saving Shepherd at the ending makes more sense than space kid.
-I like Ashley's character and understand her dialogue
-There are many endings (there isnt really and any who think these pile of poo are vastly different needs to at bare minimum respect other people rights to demand the product as advertised.)
-The Red ending is actually the "EA" ending in where they can do Mass Effect "Dreamscape" a whole game seen in Commander Shepherds dreams written by Casey Hudson alone in a room with no peer review.
-Space Hamster took down a reaper in the final battle, considered 1 option of "many endings" that required you to click on him 25 times every time you returned to the ship to become the war asset.
-Tali and Garus werent making out, Tali was going to murder him and you just stopped her (once you understand the awesome endings this is the only logical way to look at everything else, with Casey Hudson glasses on)

[Neria Rose]

1. I despise everything Liara. From her unattractive features in ME1 to her emphasis on her youth in ME1 (props to Bioware for working on both of those in the following games, though) to her forced 'badassness' which really just makes her look like a poser and to her very dull and irritatingly monotone voice. I really wish I could kill her and eradicate her species (much as I love Aria, I would take her death if it meant ridding the galaxy of magical blue space lesbians intended to cater to male fantasies).

2. I only play FemShep, but Hale overacts a good number of her lines.

3. Kai Leng is sexy as hell.

4. I like the direction Bioware took with Jacob, regardless of his LI status.

5. I miss ME1 planet exploration.

6. Overall, ME2 edges out ME3 as the best game. ME3 feels like too much combat vs. conversation (which I guess is to be expected, given the war and everything).

7. I like the VS just fine. Their feelings are perfectly justified, imo.

I love Kaidan, he is one of the most realistic characters of the trilogy.
I loved the Mako.
I can't stand Miranda.
I loved the inventory in ME1.
I don't like quarians very much.
Liara is cute, but boring.
I like Vega.
I found Jacob's cheating actually funny.
I hate systematic hackett reports after missions.
I loved the elevators in ME1

Uh... grade school anatomy 101.. your dick, despite the name of an erection. is NOT a bone. (and NO it's not a muscle either you can't make it bigger by flexing it. not even the electronic metaphorical one)

[Shaigunjoe]

The main mass effect story was never that great, but I enjoyed the shift in perspective at the end of the third one.

Mako rules!

ME2 was the worst of the trilogy.

Shep resurrection at the beginning of ME2 and the clown shuttle scene in ME2 were both major disconnects for me.

Wong > Allers

Vega won me over after his Mako speech.

Fact: Μass effect bears NO concequences and is really poor at choices. Not even one choice matters.
still we all love ME and still ME has more choice and conseqience than almost most games out there.

[ioannisdenton]

Both Jacob and Vega were actually good and more down to earth characters, that is why noone likes them.
I Also loned zaeed and it's badassnes

[Alexius]

First: I enjoy multiplayer a great deal.

Vega was cool.

Playing Paragon pays off, but you are the most guillible person on the galaxy.

ME1 has too many gameplay flaws and it's a pain to replay.

Planet scanning was better than running errands with the Mako.

Even though I romanced Liara, I hate the idea of little blue children.

No, I said he's a glass-boned d!ck, not with his glass-boned d!ck.  Which also begs the question does EDI have the proper recepticle or equivalent for it if it does come to that?  Scary thought.  Robot pnuematics and ...riiiiip!  

Ow.

A guy can however make it "stronger" by flexing his Kegels. Those are muscles.  It's how we make our Johnson's jump, and we do do that, usually in a mirror.

Garrus was not my Shepard's best friend (even if the game forced me to brofist him every five minutes)

Your parenthesis seems to be contradicting your statement.

not really

I just have to headcanon the friendship content for Kasumi, Miranda, etc. I am sure it happened off-screen
