Just played the rachni queen scene... What a great game.

I started with ME2 (with the cool intro comic to do decisions from ME1) and by the time I finally got back to ME1 it seemed a little retro... But by the time you get to the Peak 15 lab, this game is really sweet. (this isn't my first ME1 playthrough).

What a cool game, still, looking forward to getting into ME2

The mass effect trilogy is my absolute favorite set of games. I think you'll really enjoy 2 and 3.

Yeah I've played them all, although I stopped maybe 1 hour short of the finale of 3 because it was already announced there would be a patch and I was going to wait for it but then never got back to it. I recently purchased Andromeda and plan to play through that too although I avoided initially. Still I plan to do a lot of stuff I never get around to, so we'll see.

I wouldn't bother with Andromeda, you will always just feel like you should be playing the original triligy instead.

Man, what I would give to be able to experience the ME trilogy for the first time again.

If you have a few extra dollars, yuan, euros, or whatever, be sure to pick up the DLC bundles for ME2 & 3 on Origin. The extra content (for the most part) is great stuff, especially Lair of the Shadow Broker for ME2 and Citadel for ME3. They tend to be expensive, so I'd wait for a discount.

As for Andromeda: It's actually not as bad as the internet hive mind makes it out to be (*cough* r/gaming). In terms of story and characterisation, it falls short of the original trilogy, but it has the best gameplay and combat mechanics in the entire franchise. It's a pretty solid 7-7.5/10 game.

I don't know if I played Citadel for ME2, but Shadow Broker was probably the most memorable and interesting mission for ME2 (along with the first trip into the reaper ship).

One of my favorites was the weapon DLC for ME3... I liked the roleplay aspect of the universe's most famous gunner having an ecectic collection of the most unique and powerful rifles. It seems like the kind of thing somebody would set up for Shep. Rare for an item DLC to feel so good from a roleplay perspective.

I did beat andromeda but was such an empty pointless experience for me. I about a month ago tried playing it again, as soon as I met the angara I uninstalled and started from the first mass effect game. Totally glad I did. Yes the combat is refreshing to a point, but the enemies you face are not that interesting and it lacks the character development that makes playing the original so much more fun.

mass effect 1 and 2 are classics for sure. part three was a blast till it left a bad taste in my mouth. paid full price for andromeda and that was the end of my bioware fandom.

Same here my last bioware game likely ever unless they do somehow make a great mass effect game again, but I'm not seeing it actually happening considering the state they are in.
