I honestly can't play straight through the trilogy, I always need at least a week off between each game. The contrasts in style and tone, especially beteen ME1 and ME2 are just to great to tolerate directly after each other, and the stupid opening in ME2 gets me everytime.

[Lyrandori]

Nope, done with the trilogy. I might replay ME1 one day whenever they decide to remaster it, but other than that, I'm done with it. I do, however, still occasionally play ME3's multi-player.

I used to do it but these days I don't so much I tend to alternate between ME and Dragon Age so when I need a breather but I'm stil in the mood for an RPG I switch to DA. Plus with them being diffreent types of stories helps as well. The main reason why I'm choosing to drop DA for the Witcher for a run is because the Witcher is very similar to DA in terms of it's setting and the fact they'er both fantasy stories and the fact I keep promising myself to do a proper playthrough of that series as well. I had played Witcher 1 until I had got half way through then had computer problems which wiped out my save so never got back to it. Fortunately I played enough to learn the basics but I never got round to restarting so am going to go for it this time alongside a Mass Effect run just replacing DA with the Witcher games

The selection mechanics and music of the Suicide Mission made it plenty of "epic" fun.

The actual writing and design around most of it were rough goings, though, excluding the Long Walk.

If I let shoddy writting and weird or poor design affect my enjoyment, I wouldn't like any of the ME games.

I just think the idea of a do-or-die mission is the kind of thing you save for the endgame. This is what really let's you realize some complex choice and consequences as a designer without ever having to fundamentally make your whole setting toxic.

But the concept does matter to me too. Which is why I've been unable to replay ME3 despite the fact it had the best gameplay of the series.

[In Exile]

I agree that the Suicide Mission is poorly placed in the trilogy, but also, I don't think it really put up much of a challenge either. I've also been replaying the trilogy in anticipation for ME:A, and I can just breeze through the entire mission now that Shepard & co are all-powerful, but the enemies are mainly just your more basic baddies. You'd think that the Collectors would have kept some Praetorians or something more substantial guarding their home base. The OST that plays throughout is stellar though.

I don't really play ME for the challenge - I just don't care for the gameplay - so I've never bothered with more than hardcore or whatever that difficulty is before insanity. Having Shepard own everything is par for the course.

[In Exile]

ME2's Suicide Mission is the best end game of any Bioware title I've played. Should've been what occurred in ME3's ending. Though ME3 would've still been too ridiculous outside of the ending for me to be excited for more Mass Effect.

I had no real issue with most of ME3 outside of the ending (and super hokey start). It was really bipolar as a game and had some strange design choices but I would've been cool with it if they didn't go insane with the ending.

For me it was so much more. The advertising pre-game release being so misleading/false, the outright BS told to fans(Deception is good/No ABC ending choices), killing off characters on Twitter, terrible VA in the game(Allers), all of a character's dialogue spent in the first half of the game(Ashley), characters being totally different than what they were supposed to be(Ashley), etc etc. Could go on for hours about all the little and big things that made me dislike the game and Bioware surrounding it.

 

Andromeda has to be a Witcher 3 level game to win me over and get me back in the Mass Effect swing of things.

[dreamgazer]

Nice Witcher 3 tie-in, Prince.

[CHRrOME]

The only Mass Effect related content I'm doing now is playing multiplayer on weekends. I don't really think I'm gonna be replaying the trilogy again any time soon (or at all...). Mainly because there're so many things I disliked about ME3 aside from the endings.

I think I'm gonna start a heavily moded Oblivion soon, it was so long since my first playtrhough that I actually never finished (crazy, I know).

[Degrees1991]

Ever since I got my Xbox One and set it up I can't be asked to set up the Xbox 360 again. So only been able to play Mass Effect 1 it is so annoying because I'm not far off getting all achievements in each game. 

 

1 hour in my Mass Effect 2 and finally downloaded Shadow Broker but haven't even played it. 

[VillainQueen]

So as I said earlier I wanted to replay but couldn't because Mass Effect was never re-relased for PS4.

But now I got it cheap for Pc again Yay! But damn the Pc controls are bad so I had to mod it to use a controller.

 

Now I can enjoy the councils unswerving dimissing of everything I have to say again! So much fun.

 

 

Needless to say I play renegade this time...

[DuskWanderer]

I bought the game on Xbox, and now, I don't have one anymore (piece of junk always seemed to break, and after a bad experience with Microsoft, I decided to stay with PC)

 

Since the DLC doesn't transfer, I haven't played it. Hopefully, MEKeep, or whatever it's called, will let me do the things I want. 

[CHRrOME]

 

 

 

 

OT. From which season is the gif? heh kinda funny.

[Fandango]

I used to replay the first two games regularly and played the pair of them back to back in anticipation for ME3, but that ending comprehensively killed my desire to revisit those games ever again. Here's hoping ME:A manages to reignite my interest in the IP.

yea. Clean slate. We would have heard about it by now if they were making it. DA Keep was announced farther back with regards to DAI's development.

I can't comment on that stuff since I don't ever follow the media for a game. ME3 delivered the kind of experience I wanted for 90% of the game. I didn't get the usual value I get out of a Bioware game but I did get a mostly enjoyable playthrough. Certainly not enough to sour me on the company.

I'm confused about your Ashley point. What do you mean totally different? The hair and slightly different makeup?

[LPPrince]

It was said originally that Ashley wasn't racist and that her ME1 dialogue was being taken out of context by fans, but then in 2 and 3 they just decided to go ahead and push her towards the racist category. Then there was the making her a Miranda clone when she was far more formal about it. It was just dumb.

 

So much of it was just outright dumb.

I'm all about calling out Bioware out on their stupid ****, but how was Ashley racist in ME2 or ME3? For the record I don't think she was in 1.

I didn't really play enough of ME3 to remember her dialogue. What lead you to think it was racist? I never found her dialogue remotely racist in ME1 - one line was just written by someone who doesn't get owning pets, and the other was a poorly written line about her being overwhelmed by seeing diversity in alien life in a game that showed exactly 0 of it. I don't recall anything racist in ME2 though.

I always get confused about Ashley being called space racist too. Every other major race, especially the krogan and asari, do it. But they are never called space racists.

I see a lot of hate for ME3 here and that's sad.

 

Something strange happened yesterday. Everytime i play Mass Effect i always play the entire trilogy, but yesterday i just wanted to do a playthrough of ME2 and even if ME2 is a very good game, it's my least favorite ME game.

 

Anyway, i'm gonna do a Femshep playthrough soon.

 

For the people that play ME on PC, there's some ME2 cosmetic DLC's for free on Origin!

[Degs29]

I'm surprised the hate is still so vehement.  Yes, the ending was extremely disappointing, but why let that ruin three incredible game experiences?

Plus, it'd be doing a disservice to Andromeda to go in with that attitude.

 

So as I said earlier I wanted to replay but couldn't because Mass Effect was never re-relased for PS4.

Me too, but so far that mod by Dybuk for ME is holding up nicely.  Haven't experienced any problems except for the mouse cursor sometimes remaining on screen.  Drawing your weapon gets rid of it.

 

Someone else did the mods for ME2 & ME3, so I hope they work out just as well!  Yes, controllers don't work as well as k/m setups, but the point of single player is enjoyment, not competition.  And nothing beats controllers for enjoyment IMHO!

[ColorTheSky]

You bet! Just got done with Omega dlc. Still hoping they'll add ME2 and 3 the xbox one's back compatibility list (been playing on PC since I don't have a 360 anymore). I miss multiplayer and prefer playing on console / using a controller too.

[Fandango]

It's not a conscious decision Degs (I'd love to still be able to play and enjoy those games)!

First, the other aliens mentioned aren't races, they are species.

If Ashley or whomever discriminates against another species, it cannot by definition be racism.

Racism is merely a currently popular pejorative term that is thrown around when it should accurately be called something else.

Speciesism is more accurate, but much harder to say, let alone others comprehend.
