I look at some threads talking about Mass Effect 2, and I really don't understand why everyone seems to hate Mass Effect 2. The primary argument is that its story sucks, but I really don't see why.
The Reapers are basically using the Collectors, which are Prothean husks, to create a human-based Reaper, like they did with every species.
Why they did this is something that Mass Effect 3 should have answered, but it didn't, although there could be many reasons, such as repeating Saren's plan, or having less to do when they invasion begins, or to weaken humanity, one of the galaxy's most powerful species, since the other species were weakened in Sovereign's attack. The characters were great, their conversations and backstory were very detailed, and all in all, I could say this game had only 3 basic flaws:

1) Lack of RPG features
2) Not enough squad banter (explained by the fact that the squad is pretty big, but still annoying)
3) Probing planets for minerals

Really, why does everyone now seem to dislike ME2 more than they did ME3?

People hate ME2? More than ME3? I must have missed that.

[eye basher]

People hate ME2? according to BSN that's like the best game ever made man.

[NucularPikinic]

 It's a giant side quest.

Most decisions from Mass Effect 2 don't even really matter in ME3. Even the supposedly biggest decision (the Human Reaper Larvae) is thrown out of the window.

Too many squadmates (Jacob is pretty lame and even in ME3 he's a jerk to romance FemShep). But the priiiiize.

I don't hate it. I just think it's main plot was rubbish.

[ShepnTali]

Hating on it is sometimes a way to defend ME3.

Then why do you blame Mass Effect 2? It's ME3 that made ME2 pointless and a "giant side quest".

People are only starting to bash ME2 to defend ME3 now a days, really.

ME2 is the best game in the series.

I know it's because of ME3.

I actually liked ME2.

Still, it remains that I did not like the excess of squadmates that I mostly did not need on the ship. It's not a big deal. Still though. Jacob.

Which was 10x better than anything ME3 gave us.

It seems that if you love ME2 you have to hate ME3, and if you love ME3 you have to hate ME2.
It appears as though neither can exist without the other being branded canononicaly false.

[thegamefreek78648]

I love ME2!

I got to romance Tali!

This is why you can love ME1 and save the hate for ME2&ME3

This. So much this.

Non of the main games have a very remarkable main plot. Bioware's narrative strength was in it's characters, character arcs and world building, of which ME2 had plenty. In contrast ME3 concentrates on the Reaper menace, a cliche, ancient evil plot that ultimately devolved into the current endings, completely forgetting about it's strong characters. Rannoch and Tuchanka are the best parts of the game precisely because the reapers' importance is mostly tangential.

And ME2's main choices were only invalidated by ME3.

I'd take it one step further.
It's one of the best games I have played in my life, and I'm not exaggerating one bit.

[ATiBotka]

I love all of the games. But for me:

ME1 > ME3 > ME2

I agree, I was actually addicted to it when it first came out.

ME2 was the best game I ever played. ME1 was right behind it. I'm suprised some people don't like it, too, but they're propably ME1 characters' fans - it's understandable. I hate ME3 only because of lack of ME2 characters (those 2-minutes cameos don't count).
