Meh, I'd argue otherwise, but I suppose it all boils down to personal taste.

Yes. It is definitely worth playing. It is really worth playing. You must play it. It is one of the BEST SERIES EVER!!!!

Despite what people say, I loved the ending to ME3. I think it was brilliant. And there are moments that made me cry, I will admit. Especially Legion and Thane.

To be fair, for a while I got by on the Mass Effect: Genesis. It's a backstory comic originally released for those on PlayStation who didn't have immediate access to the first Mass Effect game. It helps bridge the gap between the first and second games, giving you a synopsis of the first game as well as allowing you to make several key choices you otherwise wouldn't be able to make without having played the first game (Trust me, the default gameplay choices without having played the first game set you up for failure).

That's another thing Mass Effect relies heavily upon: choice and consequence. Nearly every decision you make as the protagonist throughout the first couple of titles comes back around in some way or another, the fallout totally dependent on how you handled the situation back then. It's one of the reasons I love the game so much, that you get to see how your decisions shape the game.

Meh, I'd argue otherwise, but I suppose it all boils down to personal taste.

Damn all of you guys. Now, I have to go to a game store and dig up ME1 before I can play ME2.

I have an extra brand new, sealed copy of ME2 that I won from SDCC a couple of years ago. Anyone interested?

Purely out of interest, of course, but How much for it?

I'd love it but I sadly don't have any last gen consoles any more

Obviously, it's one hell of a great trilogy.

ME2 doesn't have the soul that ME1 had, the same with ME3. The action oriented gameplay made for a more accessible experience, but there were such little storytelling elements used in ME1 that were completely scrapped in the sequels and it never IMO met the quality of the narrative in the first ME game. Instead of focusing on the quality of the story and allowing that to be the drive, they changed the gameplay up on ME2 and then added the multiplayer component in ME3. Both games' stories lacked in a lot of ways because of this.

The Tomb Raider sequel is an Xbox One exclusive, I no longer have any feelings of regret for trading in my PS4

i liked the story for both 1 and 2. 3 was a hit and miss for me. i really want them to reboot 3

I disagree. Mass Effect 3 was perfect right up until Shepard takes a ride up to the Citadel. From then on, if they rebooted that, I'd be okay with it. Everything else was pitch perfect. I felt the weight of the storyline, the crushing despair of the odds of success, every character had a moment to shine... I thought it was wonderfully executed.

that whole ending thing wasnt the issue for me at all. i just think with having to obtain assets they couldve done something 1000% better with that instead of being a cut scene when you go back to earth. plus i wanted leviathan to be more fleshed out because thats a key part to the entire series.

depending on how this new mass effect is and looks i may pick it up for the pc. im done with console gaming.
