Now we all know Bioware made some pretty good games, including Mass Effect and Dragon Age. Now which Mass Effect is the best? They all have a little something special to them.
Mass Effect 1, you have that welcome to the galaxy feeling. You actually create your character, if you're a true fan and play games in sequence, and develop who he is there. You see Shepard become the Spectre, gain his friends, lose Kaidan/Ashley, and kill Saren while Soveriegn fell. There is also a huge amount of armor and weapons which makes it easy to have a unique character everytime! There are also PLENTY of side-quests, using the Mako to get to your destination is unique and although a bit frustrating it is fun driving that beast around.
But on the downside, the controls were bad, everyone was kinda narrow-minded, like Garrus "do things fast" Wrex "I don't like anyone" Liara "Protheans...sex maybe?" Kaidan "I have a headache cause of my implants" Ashley "Aliens are bad" and Tali "Pilgramage is the only thing that matters. Also Shepard has NO personality he's kinda boring. Just focused on...nothing really, just there. Plus this unfocused Shepard only gets 2 choices for romances per gender, and if you want to romance a future character and not the ones in this game, it's hard to keep them both from throwing themselves at you without being a dick.
Mass Effect 2 is a good game. It starts off with a bang...literally. Cerberus comes back and rebuilds you from scratch and sends you out to defeat the collectors. Story is great, meeting all these people is great, having so many followers including Tali and Garrus, having to work to gain loyalty by helping them out and even losing said loyalty by not being persuasive. The Suicide mission where you decide who does what which will dictate if someone is gonna die or not. Your choices have impact, and your not bound by the Alliance.
BUT the scanning for resources is kinda annoying, going from fighting a Thresher Maw to scrolling up and down a screen is crap. You can't ignore doing it too otherwise you get no upgrades and people could end up dying on the last mission. Also there are few returning faces. There's Anderson, rest of Mass Effect 1 squad mates, and Joker. The worst part is all your old squad mates refuse to come back. Ashley/Kaidan is understandable, you're with Cerberus! Wrex is busy with the Krogan Clan which is also understandable. But Liara? She's practically the Shadow Broker, which would be an excuse but she joins in Mass Effect 3! Also there's a huge lack of side-quests. If I recall I only remember ever doing 2 side-quests that had me go somewhere and actually fight. The rest are: talk to so and so, mission complete! Last thing is the lack of weapons. There's 3 assault rifles I could have. And only 2 of them fired consistently.
Mass Effect 3 wraps up the series and definitely has the best controls of the series! You can move swiftly from cover to cover without standing up and running. There are plenty of guns. I almost feel overwhelmed by the amount of guns I can use. It's difficult at first but I can easily customize armor after I buy enough apparel to have a choice. It's nice that Tali and Garrus came back again and same with Liara and Ashley/Kaidan this time. There are plenty of romances if you played the 2nd Mass Effect. Also EVERYONE makes an appearance! The War Asset system is also extremely unique. It's a great idea, yet poorly executed. This is also the only game with multiplayer, which gave it some fame. This is the first game where you actually start to feel attached to Shepard. He has a personality, which kinda started in Mass Effect 2, but you never grew close to him until 3. Whether this is because you know it's the end or he/she actually became lovable I don't know. Also the Citadel is a GREAT DLC!!! You actually get to see EVERYONE who's alive still and talk with them. Everyone is like an old friend and you feel at peace. It's the best DLC I've ever played! It's funny, heartwarming, and the party at the end is what makes me just wish I could stay in my apartment with my friends forever! It's sad seeing that I can't do anything so I have to go to the final mission, seeing as you can only invite Miranda to the party if you do the party right before the attack on Cerberus. I wish that that DLC never had to end. Great story all-in-all.
However this game has HUGE setbacks. The war asset is a good idea but making it where you almost need online to survive, without extended ending, is a low blow! This problem was somewhat fixed by the extended ending but not completely and so it still is a problem. The scanning also is annoying! You should have to fight for your war assets not just find a doctor and grab him and run. Now if you had to scan to find a doctor then fight to him or convince him to come that'd be fine. Also EVERYONE you once called comrade has abandoned you. I get that they have their own lives...but why not make it so they won't join you again? What cause is more honorable than fighting the Reapers. I'd rather have 20 characters to choose from than 7. Now I get that some people had to die...Mordin, Legion, and Thane...but we should have a memorial for ALL of them. You can have one for Thane in the Citadel DLC but it does no justice. Everyone knows that the ending of the game is bad. The lead up is fine but there's no final boss! The last hard fight I have is firing those missiles at the Reaper. The marauder is not a final boss. Now the decision is neat...but there's hardly ANY follow up on what happened. Oh you decided to kill the Reapers? All that you see is the army fleets are stuck in the system Sol because the Mass Relays broke. You never see Earth return to glory, do it from Joker's view of the funeral if Shepard died or have a cut scene of Shepard in the hospital a year later. Have him receive a medal for saving the universe. Have that party with your surviving friends and everyone gathers outside to see something interesting like the relays work again or citadel be repaired and have that final big kiss with your lover. Besides that though it is a great game! As is the rest of the Mass Effect games.
So which Mass Effect is YOUR favorite?
