Once. I'm a way newer Mass Effect fan, and I'm slow, so I only started a second playthrough of ME1 recently.
I'm debating whether to do ME2 (I might have actually missed some things, so it's possibly worthwhile), but I don't think I'd ever do 3 again. There were only a few moments I could really enjoy, and combat was never the reason I played the ME series, so everything else just puts me in an awful mood.
Just my opinion, but ME2 is a VERY good game. It is my favourite in the series, followed by ME1 of course, because ME3 doesn't really exist for me. I'm hoping it was all a bad joke, we've been trolled, and the real game will be released soon. 
I've concluded it was a troll fic, or the worst fan fic the writing team could find, and they threw it out into the market as the last game in the trilogy for "lulz." ;]
And I completely agree, ME2 is a good game, if not a great one. :] There are certain parts that I loved, and I always appreciated the extra character moments/writing - it's just missing some things that I greatly valued in the first game, and I have
never been able to enjoy the combat (which really sucks whenever the battle lasts a while), so it's got some downsides for me that dampered my fun. It's just preferences, and I'm a cranky old dinosaur. ;p
I don't get you guys. Why stay here if you hate it so much?
I remember someone (maybe partially/wholly joking) making a list to this kind of question. Though I can understand why it's asked.
Since I haven't had to answer this 5 bajillion times yet, I'll go ahead and throw in my two cents:
Because I'm a die-hard - not sure that's quite the word, but I'm not near close enough to an ex-fan. The only one I have
no serious qualms (ones that can hurt the quality of the game for me) is ME1, but even though I was extremely frustrated with ME3, I wanted to finish the series.
And because that game failed to give me closure, and instead gave me the worst feeling/reaction I've
ever had to a game, I came here for some help to make up for it (there were other people that had the same experience), figure out what was wrong, and be a fan otherwise (whether that was to ask questions for the sake of talking (for fun), or to talk about how awesome something was, whatever the case).
That's really all there is to it. I mostly post in here because it seems to be the most active, and the lonely, near-dead boards give me this odd, mellow sadness.
