What's your opinion on the Mass Effect trilogy? Are you looking forward to Andromeda? Which game is your favourite? Mass Effect thread.
>>
>>333644810
I don't consider it a trilogy.
The first game was pretty good, especially the world building and overall interaction with characters and banter.
Then the second game came along and concentrated on the shooting and the shooting alone, everything else felt like a pointless fetchquest, less dialogue options, less locations to explore (fucking hell they even gutted the citadel) with no love put into it.

Didn't even try the 3rd game, don't care whatever Bioware shits out now.

I've only played through the first one. Thought it was pretty damn good.

I dropped the second one after just a few hours. I dunno what it was, but something about it just didn't sit well with me. Just couldn't get into it like I did with the first. Maybe I should give it another go.

First one, not really.

>>333644810
I fell in love with it the moment I started playing it and while both ME2 and 3 are good games, I still consider ME1 to be the best out of the 3.
I'm also one of the people that actually enjoyed using Mako, then again I found driving in vanilla GTAIV to be very enjoyable, as well.

Honestly though, I would really like to play as someone other than a human, I feel it really drags back the RPG aspect of it not being able to play as a Salarian, Asari etc.

Enjoyed 1 and 2 but 3 is much more of a mixed bag in several areas. When it comes to Andromeda I'll wait until we get some actual gameplay info that isn't just from leaks. Some of the stuff they've said they want to bring back for Andromeda sounds nice but I'll believe it when I see it. Favorite would be 2 since ME1 wasn't as good as I remembered when I replayed it a few months ago.

Gameplay wise:
ME 1: Flawed, mediocre game with a lot of potential

ME 2 and 3: Linear shooters that are actually fun if you play as Vanguardia, but didnt live up to ME 1 potential

Plot wise: This is post EA BioWare, need to say more?
>>
Mass Effect 1 was the most compelling story wise.
Mass Effect 2 had better combat than the first one.
Mass Effect 3 is a fucking mess.
>>
Only played 1. Gameplay felt stiff. Could have used a couple of improvements but was serviceable. Generally planet exploration and side content was boring. Writing was cringeworthy and I hated the dialogue. Characters sometimes did something wildly unexpected.

>>333645219
Say what you might, but the combat in ME2/3 was a lot better than whatever 1 had.

Overloading weapons was extremely annoying, combined with the fact that a very common glitch was that it didn't go down. The cover system is awkward and most of the times it's faster to just move around the corner without it. NPCs constantly repeat the same lines and switching weapons is so much of a drag it's oftentimes just the best to stick to one.

All side missions were basically similar and almost pointless, whereas in 2 they actually went out of their way to give them seperate backstory/maps, however small they were.

The rides in the mako were just redundant, although I have to admit the scanning in ME2 was not much better. At least you spend less time on it.

Plotwise, 2 felt lackluster compared to 1, but in most other aspects it did better. Still, I liked 1 a lot anyway.

3 is pretty good for a big chunk of the game, but there's a lot of bad stuff as well.

>>
1st one had a lot of potential, but felt disjointed and had a lot of little issues that made it annoying to play. It also used the same location for nearly every sidequest, and using the Mako was a waste of time and boring a good chunk of the time.

2nd watered down a lot of what made the first game good, but also fixed a lot of the side content to actually matter or be unique, and had a fairly interesting story. It also had the benefit of being the middle game in a franchise before we knew what the choices would do in ME3 and used that to its advantage. My favorite overall, but I do miss a lot of the RPG elements.

3 was not as terrible as people say (I didn't finish it until the ending patch came out, so eh) and had some good wrap ups of certain side stories (genophage, geth, etc), but shit itself dealing with Cerberus and making them the generic villain after making them grey in ME2. Watered down the combat and party interaction even more, and was not as good as ME1 or 2.

Kinda killed my enthusiasm for future games.

Mass Effect 2 is one of my most highly rated games ever personally. Satisfying gameplay, decent story, fun dialogue(in my opinion), fantastic characters and great soundtrack. Hell, the game even looks decent even though it's getting fairly old.

Mass Effect 1 is great as well, though it's starting to become fairly outdated.

I feel like Mass Effect 3 gets too much hate. Sure, the endings were thoroughly disappointing, but it was still a decent game. A step down from Mass Effect 2, certainly, but it wasn't 'crap', like so many people make it out to be. I found the lack of companions pretty disappointing, and the concept of Javik(or whatever his name was) was completely retarded, but the game climaxed pretty well and I still liked it pretty well overall.

I found the cooldown mechanic much more enjoyable than running around for shitty heat clips, especially since I liked playing as infiltrator and the ammo cap was fucking tiny.
Also biotics were much better in 1, ragdolling enemies around the room was great.

In 2 even the main missions felt like fetchquest and overall felt detched because of mission screens/loading screens.
The first game always managed to hide those stiches with elevators and other clever ways while the sequel went out of it's way to make it feel "video gamey" where you complete stages.
>>
>>333646446
I played both sentinel and soldier and never really had an ammo problem. You do run out, but then you switch to another weapon and another.

But with infiltrator I can see the problem there. Haven't touched biotic classes yet.

I liked the non-lineairness of ME2, but the main quest in ME1 was definitely more memorable.
>>
ME1 has way too many problems for me to honestly call it great. I did have sky high expectations for it, but that is only a small factor in my overall judgment.

ME2 reduced a lot of the stats, but they were shit in ME1 anyway so I didn't mind as much. I did hate ammo and planet scanning. In every other area it is superior, except in atmosphere, where it is different but equal.

ME2 had the best gameplay and some very pretty setpieces, but worst writing. A lot of the problem came from it being the final act of an "epic trilogy" so there wasn't as much time to have goofy fun and everything was Reapers this, Reapers that. Ending was obviously shit, it's been said enough.

ME2>ME1=ME3
>>
>>333646152
I was just about to play ME3 again with those mods (and more), first time I've touched it since launch four years ago. I really wonder how much some video editing and cutting shit can fix the game.
Now all I need to do is wait for the texture installation to finish, this shit takes like 12 hours.

>What's your opinion on the Mass Effect trilogy?

Started with a clunky but highly promising first game, then spiraled into mediocrity that's only worth playing through once so you don't notice first-hand that all your choices meant fuck-all.

>Are you looking forward to Andromeda?

Morbid curiosity at most. Inquisition has shown Bioware has no clue how to make a world with enjoyable exploration and instead depend on repetitive filler bullshit to pad out what would otherwise be a 5-hour campaign.
>>
>>333647486
That is your opinion and you are entitled to it, personally, I found the synthesis ending to be most pleasing.
>>
>you don't notice first-hand that all your choices meant fuck-all.
Were you so young when ME1 came out that you ever thought they'd matter? I was 15 when they announced the game and even then I could smell the bullshit from a mile away.
>>
>>333647205
It's the most fitting of the three/four endings.
>>
>>333647205
Because control and synthesis become more idiotic the more you think about them, and destroy lets you fullfill what you originally set out to do and do not suddenly throw everything the games has told you so far out the window.
If you remove the catalyst which is by far the worst part of the ending you dont really get a chance to chose either of them, now do you?

That ending mod ends with the final shepard/anderson conversation, Shepard passing out as he does in normal version, then the weapon fires. No circular logic, no unexplained kid form for catalyst.
Just a moment of contemplation for Shepard as everything is finally over. Flows a lot better.

Good game with world-building that blew me away. Playing Adept was some of the most fun I've had in video games. The gunplay was ass, but I had little use for it I was having so much fun with Adept.

>ME2

Much improved gunplay but destroying Biotics made the game a lot less fun. Awesome companions but ultimately a major step back in terms of what they had built in ME1's story.

>ME3

A small step up in gameplay, but still had the same problem with biotics. Story sucked, companions were whatever. Destroyed everything that ME2 didn't.

Loved all three of the games for different reasons, but I'm not getting my hopes up too high for Andromeda.

With the apparent emphasis on exploration I think it could be aiming to be more like Inquisition, than the original trilogy. Big environments pretty visuals, but more grinding and fetch quests than story.

Mass Effect 3 is the RotJ of the trilogy. It's not as awful as everyone wants to say. It certainly isn't great, but it's just Mass Effect 2 2. Destroy is always an option and I feel like the ending of the game was just the ending to Mass Effect 3. It's during the game that you wrap up all the character stories from 1 and 2, so all that was concluded by 3.

3 had the best combat and condensing the squad helped keep everyone useful, unlike 2.
2 did more damage to the story than 3.

>A small step up in gameplay

I can't possibly see how anyone would think that unless they meant gameplay = shooting mechanics. A lot of thing from how the side quests were handled to the pathetic galactiv exploration is certainly not what I would say is "a small step up" in any way. The war asset mechanic was a fucking terrible way of implementing the choices, and the galactic readiness even more so. The dream segments seemed tacked on, and didn't really contribute, gameplay wise or story wise in my opinion. And let's not forget the lack of enemy variety as well. At least ME2 had slight variety in what you faced, ME3 was just reaper forces or Cerberus, with some Geth.

Quite frankly the only mission I really liked was the Geth one without any real combat. Says a lot about ME3 design to me.

1 was pretty good. Gameplay and driving was sort of janky, and the interface was awful, but the writing was high-quality, the powers were fun to use, and I actually felt excited to see more of the universe and cast in the sequels by the end. The music also made for some top notch atmosphere.

2 was a fucking abortion that neutered your abilities, added boring cover-based shooting mechanics that were poorly implemented, made the levels drastically more linear without adding fun setpieces to spice them up, didn't include a single good boss fight, and pretty much set the stage for half the major mistakes in 3 thanks to the suicide mission and how it refused to advance the plot in a meaningful way - and the writing quality nosedived. The only good points were that some of the new squadmates were good characters and it fixed the fucking awful interface of the first game.

3, like 2, completely failed to live up to the writing of 1 - but it at least made it feel like your choices mattered more than 2 did, until the ending anyway, and while basically every new character besides Javik sucked it actually did right by the majority of the old ones. The gameplay is probably the best in the series and the multiplayer was fun too.

Collectors are the best race.
Quarians, Turians and Vorcha are honourable mentions.
Batarians are total garbage.

Gameplay; ME3>ME2>ME1

Enjoyed the hell outta the first one. They fucked up the next two pretty bad but I still managed to enjoy them somewhat for what they were.

As for Andromeda, they seem to be going in the right direction but I'm afraid that they're gonna fuck it up somehow, whether it be gameplay decisions or SJW bullshit. If it do get it, it certainly won't be day one. I'll let you good goys give it a test run before I decide.

My answer will always be ME1

It also didn't hurt that the game had half-decent boss battles

First game is good. Second is filler+retcons. Third is bad.

I am commander Shepard and this is my favorite thread on the Citadel.

Still, at least they tried
Reminder they didn't have any boss battles in ME3 because it was "too video gamey"

Endings were shitty, but the mod doesnt change the outcome really, it mostly just removes the catalyst part. Building a giant weapon and having it firing in the last act to gain you victory is much easier to swallow than a literal god from the machine that gives you three choices that are illogical at best (why would destroying a tube with wires kill the reapers). The two other changes in the mod is a) Geth survive slider from control is used, rest is destroy and b)Shepard survive is confirmed instead of just very heavily hinted at with the original breath ending.

Not that big a fan of the last thing but hey the mod is better than what was before. At least its not MEHEM super happy ending idiocy.

There will be no mass effect games set in the milky way after this anyways, so a few small changes to make the ending go from "stare at screen in disbelief" to "I can live with this" cant really be that bad.

There are many games that is improved by mods, like kotor 2. Yes, that ending was shitty in that too, but mods fixed that. Just like some of these mods help fix mass effect 3.

I don't remember mods changing ending of kotor2.

That breath thing was pretty pointless.

"Hey, you choose this specific option! Here's a hint Shepard survived! Sort of, I mean he's still basically mortally wounded and now he's laying atop a pile of broken rubble on a dead planet where most of the surrounding fleet just fucked off. But, hey, he took a breath."

Mass Effect 1 has the best gameplay. The shooting was clunky but the overheat mechanic made it interesting, the Mako was also clunky but it had sparkles of brilliance here and there, it just needed to be improved, to make for some good arcade vehicle combat.

Now in ME2 and 3 they just carbon copied Gears of War combat and added universal ammo, fuck that dull shit. It was more polished, but it was a polished version of a been there done that turd. Not to mention that without the Mako, gameplay was the samey cover shooting nonstop, while the Mako added variety.

Shooting part was shit, sidequests were shit, planet exploration was shit. It's my favorite one but no, in terms of gameplay it's bad.

Well I'm not saying Kai Leng.

What about the small Reaper on the Geth homeworld?

Clone Shepard was fun due to them having the same class as you.
>>
>>333644810
Bought all 3 for 10 bucks.

Finished mass effect 1 yesterday.

6/10, I don't see why people were creaming their pants over this game. It's pretty mediocre. Stalker came out the same year and got nowhere near as much praise despite being a much better game.
>>
>>333664290
Next time compare need for speed and max payne, faggot.
>>
>>333664248
Kai Leng was the only real boss battle they had, though, and it was in line with what they used to have sort of.

Small Reaper wasn't really a boss. More like a little gimmicky thing.
>>
>>333664524
Kai Leng battles were complete ass though
>>
>>333664454
So, it's better and deserving of more praise because it's got lots of shitty repetitive dialog, and has RPG elements?
>>
>>333664290

It's a decent game, but the ones who creamed themselves were dudebros who bought the console for Halo. Same thing with Bioshock.

Bioware crushed the goodwill of the fanbase. Bioware could've made 5x more if they had taken the time to craft a good conclusion to the series. So no, I cannot look forward to something like that unless I'm assured that somehow you've acquired a far more competent team (doubtful!) in the interim.

The swries species were dissapointing. Why couldn't there be a fun race similar to Orks? Sci-Fi would benefit greatly if they just add in some Orks.

Again, Mass Effect would be much better if they added in some of da greenest an' meanest Ork boyz to play.

Oh so you don't want orcs in Mass Effect, you want another game's specific orcs in Mass Effect. I didn't realize you had autism, I'm so sorry.

>>333670553
if anything, the lack of orcs in Mass Effect makes it unique.

I'm not sure but it wouldn't surprise me. Andromeda will probably only be mediocre.
