It's no doubt my favorite game series. The action was lots of fun, great characters and the story line was flat out interesting! I'm anxiously awaiting the first DLC. The concept has leaked and it seems worthwhile getting.

jbunniii said:I played all the way through ME1 - easily one of my favorite PC games. After playing the second one for maybe 10 hours I got distracted with other things and never came back to it. One thing I found disappointing about ME2 was the inability to do much exploring in the Citadel and on random planets. Hopefully this is improved in ME3, which I will get to one of these days.
Jack21222 said:I, like many people, thought the ending of ME3 was lazy. It was a nonsensical deus (diablos?) ex machina.
Greg Bernhardt said:It was bad, the free extended ending DLC was a bit better, but not all that satisfying. Still, it was a great series and wonderful story.

SHISHKABOB said:I haven't even played through the entirety of the 1st. It just wasn't very interesting. IMO, ofc.
Drakkith said:Oh god, the save system in ME1 makes me want to throw my Xbox through the window. I replayed ME1 a few months back and I think I lost about 5 hours total throughout the game having to replay things I'd already done either because I died and hadn't saved for an hour, or something would bug out. ME2 and 3 were far better with their saves.

Drakkith said:I think you and I have a different idea of what suspense means lol.
I play games to enjoy the storyline usually. The gameplay is a big part, but without a decent story I usually don't care at all for the game. So when I have to replay an hour+ of game time I get extremely frustrated. It's like having to re-read chapters in a book when you just want to get on with the story.

I have only played ME1. I'm on my 3rd play-through, because I want to make sure that I've beaten it on the highest difficulty before progressing to the next game. As far as I have heard, the quality of the games decline from ME1, with storyline and dialogue taking a backseat to graphics and action, much like almost every other game.
From what I have seen of ME2, it actually looks wonderful (I can't wait to spam that Vanguard charge), but I'm a little worried about ME3. The dialogue seemed very forced, and Shepard often only had two lines of dialogue to choose from, which was hardly ever the case in ME1.
That said... has anyone else noticed how they changed how Shepard runs from ME1? In ME1, he had a very distinct run... it was a little unusual, but not something that people would point at and make fun of. Then, in ME2 and ME3, he all of a sudden has this wide, football player gait where he looks like he's taking a dump while running. It doesn't make sense to change that, unless when he was revived, they altered a few things.
The Mass Effect game series is a popular science fiction video game franchise developed by BioWare. It follows the story of Commander Shepard as they navigate through a galactic war between different alien races.
There are currently four main games in the Mass Effect series: Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect 3, and Mass Effect: Andromeda. There are also several spin-off games and DLCs.
This is a highly debated question among fans, but many consider Mass Effect 2 to be the best in the series. It has a compelling storyline, improved gameplay mechanics, and memorable characters.
DLC stands for "downloadable content" and it refers to additional content that can be purchased and downloaded for a game. The Mass Effect series has several DLCs that add new missions, characters, and weapons to the games.
Yes, there have been leaks about a new DLC for the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, which is a remastered version of the original trilogy. The DLC is rumored to be called "Retribution" and will include new story content and missions.
