I can only speak for myself but loving ME1 has nothing to do with nostalgia I still play regularly. Shepard becomes my character there is a more intimate connection to her in ME1 than in ME3. ME1 is the kind of game I enjoy. Epic quest to save the galaxy, ultimate badass epic and emotional speeches so many dialogue options and side conversations. There was not a single fetch quest due to eavesdropping. If a NPC had a quest for you you talked to them, they talked to you and you felt like Shepard was an integral part of a whole world of people. There was a main boss and sub bosses and each main quest pushed the story further. The citidel had miltiple levels and many characters there were many worlds to explore and gorgeous vistas that made you feel like as a player you were exploring the galaxy It was a gem of its kind and as I said it is not nostalgia I just sent a new Shepard through it in a week last month it is still just as epic as ever.

You fools!

ME 1 is the only reason I ever wound up with an Xbox (PC was too old for the gaming), it was Sci-fi crack, and I still go back to it the same way I do for super smash bros... Only I play it for more meaning because it's still relevant. That being said, game play aside I don't like to distinguish between the games, it's all the same sci-fi epic.

It was the only Mass Effect that they cared about. The one where they had a genuine idea of making a series to rival Star Wars.

Later they butchered it with Gears of War Combat, and rolling.

Rolling was a bad thing?

Because ME1 was THE ORIGINAL!!! And because it actually WAS original..

The next two games in the series was a steady decline into your typical CoD game. (bar the amazing character development in ME2). Dumbed-down story, dumbed down writing. Multiplayer. Euek!

Lol wut? I understand ME2-3 combat being compared to GoW, but CoD? Not even close.

MP is nothing bad. It gives you a reason to pop the disk in every now and then. I love playing as my vorcha & adept. MP was a great addition imo. Playing as other aliens is alot of fun. They just need to come up with something besides a horde survival mode. Something more mission feeling.

The experience is very similar to COD.

By that I mean strictly through the pacing and speed of combat itself, and to a lesser extent the control as well (although most shooters feel much the same). Move, cover, aim, iron sights, fire.

Because it had a moving story that made sense?

Back when it came out, they didn't. They constantly complained on the forums (not these and the BSN didn't exist) just like every Bioware game. Some people here have described the complaints going back as far as NWN. Anyway, just know that Bioware fans have really short memories.

Does this mean DA2 will soon become everyone's favorite BioWare game due to nostalgia?

And yea a lot of people HAAAAAAATED ME2 on release.

I wouldn't be surprised if ten years from now DA2 is hailed as story telling genius and ME3 ending is hailed as the most moving and powerful ending in gaming history.


The entertainment industry is crazy like that.

Because it's awesome, had the best story, characters, exploration. It was a brand new universe, what's not to love about it? I don't mind the combat and I love the Mako, you don't eavesdrop on people for side quests, you actually talked to them. I loved exploring planets and looking up in the air, watching other planets or moons from afar. ME1 draws you in better than 2 and especially 3, if it had a Garrus romance, it would've been even better.

I was a Mass Effect virgin

[Mr. MannlyMan]

For me, ME1 was the best because it had 1) a cohesive, well-structured story that could be played in the order the player wanted, 2) way more secondary characters (that were fleshed out with names and personalities and such) than either ME2 or 3 had, and 3) more dialogue options to roleplay my character with.

Plus, ME1 was officially the only Mass Effect game to have an entire sidemission devoted to fleshing out Shepard's backstory, AND was the only game to feature Shepard's mom as a character (albeit unseen); her absence in subsequent games really bugged me.

Then there's more: no ridiculous cleavage armor (don't mention Benezia, because she so obviously wasn't wearing armor), better adherence to the Codex, longer (and more complex) main missions, more mature romance scenes (what happened to yer balls, Bio?), beautiful worlds that we could explore in a flying tank (back then, I actually thought Bioware would improve rather than remove this feature), a main villain that actually seemed malicious and respectable, Reapers that actually appeared to be more cunning than sardines, etc. etc. etc....

Nostalgia has almost nothing to do with it; I just feel that, for my time and money, ME1 was the better experience. It still IS the better experience, whereas ME3 embodies all the fears I had of where the series was headed, way back in 2009. Turns out, preparing for the disappointment of ME3 was the best move I could have made. As a shooter, it holds its own, but as an RPG it totally reeks of rushed deadlines and diminished ambition on the developers' part.

I never got upset over the endings, though; as bad as they were, my expectations were too far gone by that point to be surprised. I knew that the devs working on ME3 were going to trivialize our choices the second I learned about the EMS mechanic. It had "safety net" written all over it.

The story is what should make you keep coming back to it, not the combat. Hence CoD. If MP intertwined more with the campaign, then I could get on board. As it stands, it's nothing but a little side feature aimed to do nothing else but suck your money through those microtransactions. With the only upside being you can play as other races. But when you only have one game mode, even that gets old quickly.

Also, I never said the combat was comparable to CoD, it's a Gears rip-off obviously. The CoDifying of the game comes from other areas as already listed. CoD is successful because it's simple.

[ghost9191]

simply put it is opinion. but if you started ME 5 years ago with ME1 it was a good game , some might say great, and still is

[bobito64]

Shepard is much better written in ME than in the other two. Firstly even the little choices you made gave you the feeling that you were moulding Shepard's character. Did I shoot Fist in the head or not? It made no difference to the game but it made a helluva difference to the kind of person that Shepard was. Also in the first game she was never forced into an action that was out of character. ME2 broke that straight away by having her join up with Cerberus, even wearing the uniform, far too willingly. ME2 never felt like Shepard's story, it was all about the other characters. In ME3 Shepard was both badly written and, because of all the auto-dialogue, felt less like my Shepard, I had lost control of my character.

Shepard also had a dry sense of humour in the first game that was missing from the other two. I really missed that. It made the character more human and likable.

The pattern repeats itself in each cycle.  Funny how the bsn reminds me of galactic cycles between harvests in the ME universe.

Not everyone does. Outside BSN, I've found most like it the least. For my money, it's very good but comes in third.

For me, this.

People like the game if they played the game 5 years ago, yes it is partly nostalgia. Like Zelda OoT, MGS, Resident evil, Halo etc. Compare super Mario to super meat boy. The way the video game industry keeps on moving, you can only really judge it by the time it can out. If you don't, you may as well call all the classics rubbish.

Mass Effect tried something different, joining the choice making story line of an rpg with a solid 3rd person shooter. Compared to the competition at the time, it stood out on merit.

Mass Effect 3 dumbed down the choice making part and went for a near completely cinematic shooter with better gameplay(pretty much a gears clone, not a dis) but they had 5 years to do that. The only thing that made ME3 stand out was over marketing, the good will the previous 2 games had collected and a controversial ending.

Probably because it is their first Mass Effect game. So they tend to compare everything afterwards with it.

As ME 2 was my first ME game, it is same for me. I still think it is best ME game. However in the end, for me all three games makes one of the best game series by Bioware so enjoying all equally.

[Dr_Extrem]

i finished another playthrou just 2 hours ago ...

i loved mass effect, because of the epic ending. tears of joy.


the plot missions were very good ans drove the story foward. sadly the n7 missions were all the same and took the speed out of the game (2nd biggest flaw) the biggest flaw was the combat system. it was just bad and uninspried.

BUT ... the ending makes it all worth.
