I can't decide whether Mass Effect 2 or 3 was my favorite of the trilogy, but I'd say that taken together they're my favorite of Bioware's games - better than Baldur's Gate II, which is saying a lot.

Second place? Probably a tie between BGII and Dragon Age: Origins.

[comrade gando]

no. hell I'd even say ME3 has hands down the WORST ending I've ever seen in a game due to sheer letdown factor. they build you up SO MUCH... then end it in the most anticlimactic way they can. shame.

sooner I can forget I ever played mass effect, the sooner I can get over it.

[Ryuukishi]

No. Mass Effect 2 was better.

[MegaSovereign]

Well, I'm honestly conflicted.

To me, ME3 is only great because of the payoff in terms of story arcs. If I hadn't have played the previous titles, I wouldn't have been invested in that sense of payoff.

ME3 is my favorite because it's an emotional send-off to the characters I grew attached to in both ME1 and ME2. As a stand-alone game I wouldn't say it's the best Bioware game ever. But it's definitely worth saying that the Mass Effect series is the best series Bioware has ever created. In fact, it's the best sci-fi I've ever been invested into.

[Persephone]

It was the one that got to me the most.

But that's because of the entire trilogy. Because of moments such as Virmire, the Suicide Mission, Rannoch and Tuchanka.

And because of characters I have grown to cherish over the last 5 years.

My Top three Bioware products, all equally dear to me:

ME Series
DA Series
Jade Empire

Hell yeah.

Although there are other sci-fi franchises (and some old book series) I think I still prefer, Mass Effect is up there. The emotional sendoff in the game is absolutely great for the most part. Without 1 and 2, I wouldn't feel nearly as much, but I can't fault the game for that. It was built around that idea.

[Dominus]

Most fans who've been here since way back in the day likely would say the best they've done is Baldur's Gate 2. Personally, I'd toss it up between Mass Effect 1 and Jade Empire.

So was this "the best game Bioware have ever made" ?

It has some great merits(Specifically the Combat and Consequences due to previous games), but I would say no.

[s17tabris]

No way. That would be BG2.

Yeah. As a stand alone, while it wouldn't have hit quite the same lows, it also wouldn't hav had such high points, IMO some of the best in the trilogy. While I can't get over the errors I thought it had, overall it was a good game, far from BW's worst (and they generally make good games anyway.)

KOTOR or ME1

Make that KotOR and ME1.

Here's a better question:

"Is Mass Effect 3 BioWare's worst game?"

No, that title belongs to pokemon in space aka Mass Effect 2. Pointless waste of time. Even Dragon Age 2 was better then this pile of crap.

There is no best game: Kotor, the first Mass Effect and Dragon Age Origins are equally good .

I believe Sonic Chronicles holds that honor.

[LDStaredown]

I like the first ME the most. I have spent the most time playing ME3, though. KotOR and ME2 is in a close 2nd. Might have to get DA:O. I hear it's terribly bugged on Xbox. Is this true?

Yeah. This.  

As much as I loved Bioware's other games, none of them packed the emotional punch of Mass Effect 3 because they didn't have characters that already felt like old friends from two previous games. That's just impossible to do in a single game. (Baldur's Gate II did have well-loved returning characters - that's one of the reasons it was so great - but the BG series wasn't as much about its characters as the ME games.)

ME3 is not even top 10, imo:

1) KOTOR
2) ME1
3) ME2
4) Baldur's Gate 2
5) DA:O
6) Jade Empire
7) Baldur's Gate
8) DA2
9) Baldur's Gate 2 Throne of Bhaal
10) SWTOR

[Ozida]

My favourite is still first Neverwinter Nights. That's the game that in my opinion carries the theme until the end, keeps ending open and is great for re-plays.
ME1 and ME2 are great games too, but the trylogy experience is bitterened by ME3.

Reading through this had made me realize how badly I need to play Baldur's Gate

Watch this, it's the prologue for Baldur's Gate.  It alone blows just about every other video game story out of the water.



Then watch this scene, it occurs after the short prologue gameplay sequence a few minutes into the game so it isn't really spoiling much.




And that's only in the first 10 minutes or so of gameplay.  Right now a company is making a Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition with updated graphics and gameplay so it may be worth holding off for a while.  Although the old graphics really aren't that bad and still hold up well enough to play it today.

Man, talk about nostalgia ...

[-Skorpious-]

Mass Effect 1 or DA:O were much better in my opinion. The quality-gap between ME and ME3 alone is wider than the Grand Canyon.

[SNascimento]

ME2 > KoTOR > rest.

No. But you cant control your party nearly as good as on the pc.

Wasn't for me.

...and no, ME3 not the best Bioware game ever. Not by a long shot.

[Thore2k10]

ME1 and 2 were better...
Baldurs Gate 2 was better....
Dragon Age Origins was better...

just my opinion though, no need to go spreading it around...

[spiriticon]

Nope. ME2 for me was the best, followed by KOTOR.
