gameplay in first game kinda meh

[Black Hole]

Story is good and I know it's the first game but...idk maybe it's because I'm playing it on the 360 but the controls are garbage in the first game, the assault rifle is a joke no zoom that I can find and you cant punch. Also the missions where you use that little apc thing is really poorly done.

I'm having a hard time getting myself to enjoy the first game and just to be clear this is my first play through maybe a few hours into it, I just dont like it.

2 and 3 had great gameplay the controls felt right and the face models are much better as well.

Again I know first game whatever but I wanted to play it from 1-3 I started out at 2 never did play the first one when it came out just didn't interest me at the time but fell in love with 2 3 had a ♥♥♥♥ ending but was still awesome overall.

Not good, but still better than Gear of Garbage ME 3 combat

Eh, I prefer ME3's cover based tactical shooter over the awkward RPG style light shooter elements that ME had. Just so stagnant and boring, not to mention sometimes being cruelly unfair.

I'm currently on me3 now beat me2 couple days ago. I still like 3 the best when it comes to movement and controls being able to roll away throw grenades n stuff is fun, the powers have a nice feel though the shockwave I think was best in the second game. Dominate power in 3 is the most powerful I think taking controle of those Brute Reapers is a big bonus.

I've just finished ME1 and have just started ME2. How are you doing it so fast? Took me about 35 hours to complete pretty much everything in ME1, and I think it will take longer in ME2.

My thoughts on ME1 were these:

ME2 and ME3 were better in almost every way, including role playing and story (ME is not really what I would call cRPG, anyway), and especially in combat.

ME1 combat was particularly unforgiving at the lower levels, and some of the levels involved insta-death if you didn't happen to know what was coming. It did get much better at the higher levels, as there were more tools to protect myself, but I was still finding that many mobs were capable of one-shotting me, even on normal difficulty. In the final battle, I took the wrong weapons, and it was literally not completable, as I couldn't damage my foe's shields. Had to load a save and select a different weapon configuration.

ME1 inventory system was better than ME2, except that management of the inventory was a complete pain. It was also nice that your squad could change appearance with outfits, but not a big deal.

At the beginning of ME1, I detested the Mako, but by the end I was quite happy with it. I won't mind if it makes a reappearance in ME4, as long as the landscapes are designed a bit better.

That said, I did enjoy ME1, and it was nice to play the story, knowing how it fitted in with the later episodes. I enjoyed the ME 1 experience, but (unlike ME2 and ME3) I wouldn't ever play it a second time. So, ME1 was a great start to the series, but I think it was improved through ME2 and ME3.

Playing Mass Effect for gameplay is kind of silly anyways.

Yeah me1 started it but it didn't really define it, it didn't have the same atmosphere I mean just look at your character model...the other 2 games looked and played better in every way.

Also I got through them fairly quickly because I'm on a layoff from work and can just sit for several hours and play the ♥♥♥♥ out of them. You would think I'd be playing games I've never completed but...nope I just keep playing games I really loved before over and over.

[Black Hole]

It still irks me how at the beginning of 3 it was so sad, and you felt anger over seeing a kid get blown up had the perfect sound track the expression on your face...but then it just sorta becomes meh during the early and middle stages. Nothing else till maybe somewhat the ending but due mostly because sheopards story is over but the way they ended it sucked so hard core.

Anyways I have to say the 3rd game played and looked the best but me2 had the best story you also got to make actual choices in the second game that matters for 3, but in 3 not quite so much if at all having a 100% readiness doesn't do anything as far as I know I mean I've had only 50 and still beat the game didn't notice anything different.

I did the "save the colonists" mission first (forgot the planet its on). Then saved Liara. You will be higher level when saving Liara, which makes things easier when fighting the collasus. I play as soldier in ME1.

I think im one of the few to have liked the combat in ME1. It felt different. ME2 combat was the best, but ME3 combat seemed like the clips had really low amounts of ammo.

Do the missions where you fight Cerberus. In the end, they have a nice perk. Quite the fun missions as well.

Or play an adept and never worry about ammo! :-)

[Black Hole]

yeah in 3 without weapons at all you literally dont have to worry about ammo...I mean I prefer using guns but seriously using dominate on anything but the geth is over powered.

Frankly I find the romancing to be the most disappointing honestly. I romanced liraira since the first game and never got laid by her just kissing once in a great while...the whole thing just seems dumb.

I play as vanguard in ME2 and ME3

The story is great in ME1. The gameplay, not so much.

ME2 improved on the series' gameplay in pretty much every way that matters.

When ME3 made the inventory more complicated again and then added hidden item drops on levels, I thought "nooooooo!"

[Black Hole]

Personally despite the ♥♥♥♥ ending in the 3rd game it's the best overall though I love the dlc except I guess the revenge one, but the funny one was so fun.

I've played this series so many times now and currently on the 3rd game again as an engineer which I've never done before and regret that it's so much fun throwing a turret in the midst of enemies and watching them get taken down bit by bit without having to fire your own weapon.
