Mass Effect 1

>>387356804
Only fedora tipping nu-/g/ likes Mass Effect, they were 6 years old when it came out and think playing an old RPG game makes them edgy. Everyone knows ME1 is dogshit, ME3 isn't bad though, I never played ME2.

>you spend the entire game searching for the conduit, turns out IT'S JUST A FUCKING TELEPORTER TO THE CITADEL, THE HUB OF THE ENTIRE GAME

But his Spectre status gets revoked after you expose his conspiring.

Yes and he could have not been such an utter retard about his conspiring and just let the Geth in easy as pie without the conduit like a retard.

I like Mass Effect, replaying OT right this moment

Mass Effect was praised because it was an RPG in the right direction but then they actionized the sequels and the story became shit. It was always flawed but the first Mass Effect game was pretty comfy. The big problem with big AAA RPG games is that choices doesn't matter at all which makes them boring to play.

The conduit teleported people to a special place within the citadel that hasn't been accessed before, it's also the place where you can control a bunch of things within it, which Saren used to set up the Sovereign attack.
Did you forget the part where most of the Citadel is run by mysterious prothean machines that can't be communicated with?

I agree with all your points OP and yet, I still really like the game.

For a so called sci-fi series it was incredibly fucking vanilla and boring. Not once did it ever delve into twisted things or interesting , only once in a fucking dlc but never again. Compared to something like Fallout or FEAR it was really fucking boring.

You obviously didn't play the fucking game. He didn't need the teleporter to get on the Citadel, he needed it to get his army of Geth on the Citadel. Also i don't think you realize this but being able to instantly transport a army of shocktroopers into the hub of civilization is a pretty big fucking deal. Not that someone who speaks in all caps would have the brain power to understand this.

Honestly it's hella overrated

Cons
>Combat is irredeemable garbage, every level is also packed with multitudes of enemies
>There's a 20,000 word essay detailing how nearly every single element of the interface is straight trash
>Visually has aged incredibly badly
>Voice acting is a mediocre flatline with the rare spike in quality, 80% of dialogue is people explaining the world around them
>None of the choices presented end up mattering in any significant way

Pros
>Has some good ideas, nearly every seemingly insignificant lore detail comes into play in a major way at some point in the trilogy
>Has some fairly interesting and unexpected moral choices on your first playthrough
>You get to flirt with two women and sleep with one of them

There's some good parts, but a half hour of a good game does not justify 19.5 hours of a bad one

Not reading this shit fuck off

Also saged

>be on feros
>some green asari helps you defeat the thorian
>decide you dont like her
>'i cant let you live'
>make her get on her hands and knees
>shoot her in the back of the head
>zero remorse
Is that hardcore enough for you, dreamboy?

Mass effect was actually never good

The kicker is that a lot of the elements like the face creator only being controlled via sliders have still been in every single game to date

Mass Effect is a great game. The combat is fun and dynamic in its incorporation of TPS and RPG mechanics. The dialogue is fairly comprehensive and almost always well-written. The characters are believable and don't have overly dramatic conflicts. Add onto this an incredible world of races and locales with a dynamite synth-based soundtrack and you have a masterpiece.

But then there's casual garbage like Mass Effect 2...

I'm not looking to have tasteless edgy fedora shit. But rather be gritty and have some borrowed ideas that Interplay/ Obsidian did who created the best sci-fi rpg series. But what can you expect from something made by faggots who know nothing about firearms which is why everything looked like a plastic nerf toy.

About to replay ME1 for about the 15th time, anyone got any recommendations on how to spice it up a bit? It's been around four years since I last played it.

Man good thing I don't care about petty shit like how my firearms look

I'm sorry you have the shitty tastes of an autistic child.

Who here /Colossus X Heavy/?

Used to love using that shit on Shepard, and the bug to make Garrus wear it too, then give Wrex the Rage X armour.
