DD44Dostivei: it's a frustrating as hell series, and i desperately hope that it can see some sort of remake in my lifetime. but i highly recommend the entire trilogy to anyone who might be interested.

Why would you do such a thing? I have been thinking about giving mine away but I would feel like a real asshole if I was responsible for coercing a friend into playing it. I highly recommend that you do something more productive with any money you are thinking about spending on Bioware products, like setting it on fire.

ME2 was my favorite. While ME1 was great, and a better RPG on paper, the endless inventory battles were tiresome to say the least. ME2 I wasn't a super fan of the 'one gun and go' type thing, but it worked.

ME3 can go fark itself. Ruined the entire series for me. Couldn't even be bothered to play through the 'fixed cut' or whatever they ended up calling it, and I won't be buying any more EA/BW games short of an act of congress. And no one cares about the reasons.

red5ish: ME1 was a GOOD RPG while ME2 isn't a very good shooter. But the mining in ME2 makes up for its other shortcomings by being so awful that the rest of the game looks great by comparison.

ME2 has Mordin, your opinion is invalid.

Mass Effect 2 is the best in terms of actual shooter mechanics, while I think ME1 is the better RPG. While the actual gunplay in ME1 was atrocious, everything that wasn't shooting stuff was much more RPG-y than 2. Both are still generally better than 3, though I won't say 3 was bad(outside the ending), it just couldn't possibly live up to the hype. I thoroughly enjoyed actually playing it.

/though I am still bitter about overheating getting replaced by regular old reload mechanics

Mass Effect 1 could have been a much better game if they cut out 90% of the aimlessly wandering around (both in locations and on planets) and had more than three enemies.

Mass Effect 2 could have been a much better game if it didn't kick itself in the nuts with the skill system by linking every ability to each other and focusing instead on balancing the enemies in an interesting way.

The whole series could have been made much better by having your choices significantly impact the gameplay.

If you ignore the ending of each game, they get progressively better in each installment. If you look at just the endings, they get progressively worse with each installment.
