I saw a fan video for ME2. Thought it looked like fun so I went and got it.

[von uber]

It was going cheap on Steam in November, ME1 & 2 for £6.99.

 Mass Effect 2 was recommended to me by a co-worker, so I checked it out. Got hooked somewhere mid-way through the game.

 

 

After replaying it about two/three more times, I had to get the first one.

Mass Effect 2 was fairly new but on sale for $20 at the time, I had heard good things about it through the internet and thought I'd give it a try.  ME1 was like $10 as well so I bought both knowing that the two were connected and it was one of the best $30 I ever spent.

Picked it up not too long after ME1 came out. Knew it was from Bioware and was expecting it to be more like KOTOR than what we knew it was going to be. The pleasant surprise kept me playing along and I became a long time fan, even if I have to give **** where its due for some things in the game.

Played the ME2 demo. Didn't like it. Played it again and still wasn't any better. The kid at the game store suggested buying it and if I still didn't like it, he would give me a full refund. Ok fine. Whatever. As I was playing through the game, I got to this point where I hugged some character that I never knew. I saved the game and went to the kid at the game store and asked him who the character was. He recommended that it would be easier to play ME1 instead of explaining who the character was. Fine. Whatever.

 

Since ME1 wasn't on the ps3, I ordered it for the pc. I finished my first playthrough of ME2 just as ME1 arrived at the store. I played ME1 5 times in a row to get all the different dialogue. During these playthroughs, I learned the character I hugged in ME2 was also the most annoying character in ME1. Outside of that, I enjoyed the game.  It wasn't till after numerous ME2 playthroughs that I could avoid that character in ME1 until the last possible moment. Doing that made ME1 a lot better.

You see, there was this trailer for ME2. This one, right here.
 

I thought it looked cool. I did some background research, learnt that they were planning to carry decisions throughout the series, also liked the look of these ME1 trailers... And so I picked up ME1, played the heck out of it, pre-ordered the ME2 Collector's edition... and never looked back.

I've actively followed the development of every BW game since seeing a 1 page preview of a Star Wars RPG in an issue of OXM over a decade ago. Bought KoTOR on Day 1 for the big black box back in 03. I've preordered every Bioware game since. (well, except Dragon Age....meh)

My boyfriend bought ME1 expecting it to be KOTOR, kind of, and loved it. When he got his xbox 360, he had me play it. We both liked it, so I bought him ME2 when it came out. And we played that, and so on.

Bio fan since BG2 -- specifically, the CGW demo disc.

My first exposure to ME was seeing my brother play ME2 on his computer; it looked pretty cool, so I thought I'd check out the series, but figured it would be better to play ME1 first (also, I had a pretty crappy PC at the time, and to say it was just barely up to the task of playing ME1 is a bit of an understatement). I was hooked, and rode with the series up until the end. Since the ending fiasco two years ago, my opinion of the series as a whole has gradually become more critical; still, it gave me some great memories and opportunities to converse with some sharp and like-minded folks, so no regrets.

BG2 mmm....so much nostalgia




(Though I wasn't completely sold on them as devs 'til KoTOR. Still the most hard hitting twist in videogame history imo. And appropriately so....)



Jade Empire is a forgotten gem, and I'll love it if they ever make another entry in the series.

Followed Mass Effect's development with interest until I'd read somewhere that it was going to be xbox exclusive, so I stopped paying attention until I saw it pop up on a steam christmas sale. Bought it, DL'ed it, played the crap out of it. Still playing it too.

I read some reviews for ME1 that said I would be able to create a character and shape their appearance, personality, choices, etc. That sounded awesome, so I bought ME1 a few months before ME2 came out, loved it so much that I played it twice, and then bought ME2 the day it came out. The funny thing is, I had read a few things about ME1 before release and wasn't interested then. My interest in the story came after I started playing the game.

I watched a couple trailers for ME1, and was kinda intrigued how the dialogue wheel choices showed the gist of shep was going to say, but the actual spoken dialogue expanded on it.

I hadn't seen any of the trailers before playing, and I guess I didn't pay too close attention to the articles or I would have found descriptions of the dialogue wheel. Maybe I just skimmed through it and saw all the things that didn't interest me first.

Asked my ex gf's (then my gf) brother which game I should buy. He said Mass Effect, so I did.

[TheTurtle]

Both Jeremy Jahns and Angry Joe did a video about the ending and I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I don't like playing games if I don't know the whole story so I got ME1 from games on demand and the rest is history.

[RZIBARA]

Bought the trilogy pack late 2013 after watching some gameplay vids on youtube. 

[JamesFaith]

Long time interest in RPGs + fan of BW since Baldurs Gate 1.

I buy most Bioware games. I read about ME1 before the TV commercials started and knew it was something I had to have.

 

A space RPG where I could be a woman? That's right up my alley.

 

My PC at the time didn't have the chops and I purchased an Xbox360 to play the game. I was hooked during the create your character background scenarios. And the intro scene (camera following femshep as she walks through the Normandy crew to the bridge) was perfect.

 

it was love at first sight.

Borrowed the second game from the boss of sister's boyfriend, played it couple of times, was awed by how the game reacts to the choices of the player and loved the feel of the universe, bought the trilogy for PS3. The rest, as they say, is history.

[von uber]

Should add that I had only vaguely heard of mass effect before buying it; I only bought it because it was cheap (although given how I've bought all the dlc, they certainly got their pound of flesh in the end).

[Cknarf]

I was aware of it, and remember seeing the ads in magazines and whatnot, but I never looked into it any further.

Mass Effect went on sale on Xbox sometime in late 2012, and I downloaded it for like $12 or something.  After playing through it twice, I went and bought the trilogy.  I'm just around 10 playthroughs of all three games.
