Yeah, it really was, good POST, OP.

I don't think anyone ever claims ME1 was perfect. Just that it was better than any of its sequels.

>>20456

It's the best and most beautiful mass effect
Graphics aged SO well.

>>20456
It definitely wasn't perfect but it's the best out of the four.

Anyone who genuinely thinks ME1 was the best has nostalgia goggles. It was a good game by itself, but ME2 was the highlight of the trilogy. ME3's story was shit, but the gameplay was amazing.

>>20462

It's actually 3>1>2 for gameplay

>>20465

I've replayed the trilogy recently and 1 was better than i remembered it and 2 was much worse.

It probably helped playing them all the PC, ME1 is really fun with those extra hotkeys

>>20462
You're spot on about the trilogy imo. Andromeda has extremely good music, too. On par with ME2 imo.

The only good thing about Mass Effect are the characters.
And only some of them. The gameplay was always mediocre at best and the story went to shit after the first one.

>>20465
>ME3's story was shit, but the gameplay was amazing.

The gameplay of all of the games is never better than mediocre.

>>20464

2 is the only balanced game in the trilogy.

>>20462

>>20456
Mass Effect was never good

No idea why it got so much attention when DA:O was far better

>>20473
Have you even listened to 2's soundtrack? All three of them have great sound and music. There's still many of ME1's music's elements in both 2 and 3, it's a lie to say there isn't.

2 was nothing more than "hide behind chest high wall" no enemies will flank you, very few can knock you away from cover.

Cooldowns are shared so it slows down combat, fewer abilities, unsatisfying weapons with no customization, moving while in cover and transitioning between cover is slow and clunky.

ME2 has aged far worse than ME1, which was clunky as hell but not a fully dedicated cover based shooter.

ME1 laid the groundwork for a great SciFi RPG franchise.
But instead they made a mediocre coverbased TPS waifubat shitfest.

ME1 was merely okay but instead of improving on it they only made it worse with each title.

>There's still many of ME1's music's elements in both 2 and 3, it's a lie to say there isn't.

They're heavily downplayed. The only aspect of it in ME2 (besides Uncharted Worlds which is just ME1 music) is Tali's ambient theme on Haestrom.

I couldn't stand Mass Effect 2's combat if nothing else for the fact moving Shepard around felt like he had concrete blocks attached to each foot.

>>20485
Anon I hate to tell you this but you are the fanboy. And you're fanboying for a worse game.

>>20488
Got 'em.

>>20456
LITERALLY nobody said it's perfect, but it IS objectively, undeniably better than Andromeda in every regard.

>Horrible equipment menu

Nah son, ME1, has the weakest gameplay in the trilogy.

>>20485

>These are both false.

Alright then, in my recently insanity insanity play through i was flanked ZERO times. I would find the first piece of cover i could and stick to it. The only time that strat was not functional was when i was fighting Harbinger

>>20472
>2 is the only balanced game
That's not a positive thing in singleplayer games.
I've had vastly more fun with broken abilities in the series than in watered down balanced trash of 2.

People who say ME1 had bad gameplay are nu-males who think RPGs are just action games with stats.

>>20467
See I did the same thing but had an opposite effect. I remembered 1 really highly but thought it was a slog to get through, and generally pretty boring save for a few moments. 2 was better as an overall whole imo, and had WAY better characters and gameplay. ME 1 could be completely broken gameplay wise by the time you were done the citadel and one of the main story quests

Im replaying the series while waiting for the Andromeda crack and i honestly cant see why i loved this series so much.

The story is only good in the first one. The gameplay is shit in all of them, the scenarios are all small blocky corridors because thats the only thing the engine can handle, the animations have always been bad, etc

I think all these years of /v/ ruined video games for me

>Sticky cover system

Good thing it didn't throw its whole weight into cover based combat, because cover wasn't that important for the game, even on Insanity

>ME1 was better than 2

This contrarian autism is up there with some of the greats like "The first R&C was the best" and "Daggerfall was better than Morrowind"

>>20456
It was decent. B- to B+ depending one what you wanted out of it. Story was a bit of a ripoff, the moral system rather shit, but a neat take on things overall.

>>20494

ME1 itself is already a casual RPG. Most of the RPG elements are casual and tacked on.

>>20500

ME2 didn't do anything better than ME1 other than the number of characters and slightly more fluid cover based shooting.

And it did many things worse.

>>20501
Crap I forgot to mention is it more or does it actually look better than ME:A because the graphics are consistent. Sure the typical dead eye Bioware face, but at least they don't look like wax people in a warm room and the texture mods help push it further.

>>20494
But ME1 is just a third person shooter with stats. And a bad one at that.

Mass Effect was never good its was baby's first KOTOR that sold well to sad lonely fat diabetic bastards because of "sex scenes".

>>20500

In a few years you're going to be so old that kids will call you contrarian for liking ME2 instead admitting that ME3 was by far the greatest game in the universe.

And I'll chuckle as you get assblasted.

>le 1 has the best story meme

It really, really does not. In fact all the shit in the rest of the series can be traced back to the shitty writing in ME1. The only thing the story does it set up a bunch of questions that the sequels have to answer. The sequels have shitty answers, but that's because they had to deal with shitty questions

>Hey reapers, whatcha doing?
>lol you couldn't possibly comprehend

Yeah, there's no way the answer could fail to disappoint after that.

>>20509
There are so many moments of shit writing in ME1 it makes you wondered just what happens to be wrong with people who defend it. Like the audio Tali retrieves from a geth databank that has Saren saying something incriminating is such an unfalsifiable and undeniable piece of evidence to prove Saren is a traitor and immediately takes the Council off his dick. Not to mention the entirety of Eden Prime at the beginning, first thing is we hear Saren pulling the trigger on Nihlus and then 7 seconds later as you turn the corner you see Sovereign taking off, then you take the tram and see Saren using the Beacon and telling the geth to set the bombs, then once that mission's done you see him riding inside Sovereign. Amazing attention to detail.

>>20499
>Mako is fun as shit
The awkward controls completely kill it
>Works well enough on PC
It's a clunky system that's only tolerable on PC because of the mouse. It's a nightmare on console which is sad because ME1 was originally designed for the Xbox 360
>Easily fixed with mods
A lot of shitty things can be fixed with mods, that doesn't excuse the game for having the problem in the first place
>same fucking problem with the other games
It happens a lot more often in ME1

>>20511
Who cares about how shit functions on consoles lmao

>>20492

Did you play as a soldier? Because soldier ruins the game by being the brain dead option for people who dont know how to play.

>>20508
I replayed 1 and 2 about half a year ago and while I agree that the music in 1 is better for the world, it sounds to me like budget trash half the time and unlike ME2, I never want to listen to the soundtrack outside of the game.

It was a game saved solely by Bioware fanboys and it's character writing.

>>Those horrid shooting mechanics.

Better than over reliance on cover based "stop-and-pop" Gear of was shit we got in ME2.

>>Bland, uninteractive and brain dead environments.

And you, in the same breath, think the hallways of ME2 and 3 are better?

>>Mako gameplay.

Mako was fine, git gud

>>Absolutely forgettable boss battles.

The human reaper wasn't ememorable because it had good gameplay, only how fucking retarded the idea was.

>>20517
Mass Effect 1 has no level design to speak of, ME2 and 3 both had a lot of thought put into each area and each room is more of an arena, calling it a hallway shooter is just faggotry.

>>20516
>Absolutely forgettable boss battles.
None of them were as awful as ME2's final boss at least.

>trash UI
Don't remember it being bad and it at least had hotkeys to different screens which were removed in 2.

I don't remember the shooting being any different besides the cool down, which I thought was cool compared to another shitty ammo implementation.

I liked the Mako.

Benezia was a fucking nightmare where some Asari peace of shit would glitch you out of the map half the time. Saren was a retarded fight as well.

Because that's all it was, the entire game, hallways with chest height walls with a few arenas sprinkled in.

The same cargo freighter and the same prefabricated building are the only level design in the game. You spend more time stuck behind a corner instead of the horrifying chest high walls you seem to hate instead, holding mouse 1 for 50 seconds to kill an enemy with infinitely regenerating health while pressing 1 every 40 seconds, hoping they don't move (and they don't thanks to ME1's non-existent AI)

Priority: Rannoch, Priority: Tuchanka, all of the side missions, Priority: Palauan, Priority: Eden Prime are all areas that contain primarily open, arena type encounters.


Because unlike you, I'm playing through the game right now.
