Neat.

cool

Mass Effect going to complete shit at 2 instead of building from the first game won't stop hurting. They had something good going but then EA screwed it right up.

>blaming EA for BioWare's general incompetence

ME1 was a shit game that only the easily impressionable like. The gameplay was abysmal, even by BioWare standards, and the writing was equal parts derivative, predictable and uninspired.

ME1 was great. They' should've expanded on that instead of narrowing it down. I liked to explore different planets and moons. Too bad they were mostly empty and there was very little sandbox elements involved in the game. That's a common problem with bioware games in general though. They're all very linear with an illusion of openness. ME2 was even more linear and more character driven game which was pretty disappointing.

When it comes to gameplay, it was pretty standard console whack-a-mole trash like most 3rd person shooters of the period. I didn't really mind it though since pretty much all RPGs have a combat and gameplay that's mediocre at best.

I forgot this even existed, did this get any patches to fix the game?

Mass Effect 2 was the best in the series you meme spouting newfag. You probably haven't even played it.

>liked to explore different planets and moons.

are you retarded. there was no exploration, just driving around on random-generated tiny levels with a vehicle that had the worst physics in any game ever, just to pick up one note or clear a building full of space pirates. it was shit.

I liked idea and wish there was more to it. Kind of what I implied in the earlier sentence you didn't bother to greentext. ME1 felt nice but unfinished and I hoped that the sequel would've expanded on those unfinished features, like planet exploration and RPG elements, but instead they just removed all those nice little things.

Mass Effect 1 niggers ignore the games' flaws because either they haven't played it for over a decade and nostalgia or because they're so desperate to have a unique/quirky opinion they will perform mental gymnastics to justify it.

Can you even read? This whole comment >>14772497

is basically about nothing but pointing out the flaws of the game.

The ME:A soundtrack is fine but it's not really used in the game. Most of the time you will hear that shitty highly repetitive battle music.

But the fan made is great.

>is basically about nothing but pointing out the flaws of the game.

So why was the game great then? Unless you're just masturbating over the idea and not the execution.

Anything made by anyone is always better than something made by leftists and women.

Not wrong.

You must be pretty retarded if that little dating sim was enough to distract you from the incredibly bad story.

The second one wasn't that bad. It dumped a lot of the cool concepts of the first game instead of improving upon them and it was a complete waste of time storywise in the series but on its own it was decent. It was focused on a few things and did those things well.
