#1 Mass Effect - yea, my first game this year. I'm very busy. Beat it for the 2nd time. Anyway, this game is horrible. There are so many things wrong with it. I never want to play it again. The idea that people put it over the 2nd is hilarious to me. BUUUT the story is good and that kind of makes it worthwhile. This may be the only game I've ever said that about.
When they first bombard you with indoctrinated it's pretty rough, but that's about it. I think I died a bunch of times there before I could wrangle them properly and then it turns back into normal ME.Quote:

ME2's last boss is hella lame, but the actual mission is awesome.
I know this would not happen for a long time but ME1 strikes me as the perfect candidate for a remake. The story and atmosphere and characters are all good, it's just everything else that is garbage.

God of Warverine for the most part. Ridiculous, over-the-top gore keeps you entertained for the first few hours, after which it becomes a repetitive slog. The story follows the movie, so you know it's terrible. Not bad but not really good in any way.
The perfect ME game would have the main story from ME1, the side missions from ME2 and the gameplay from ME3.
There are a lot of people that think the useless fluff from ME1 was a huge deal and that ME2 is a terrible simplification.
I will never understand these people.
I think they should've cleaned up the weapons and mods interface, made fewer of them but made them better, and give you some weapons with different but fairly equal stats to match your play style instead of this weapon is way better than everything else, throw the rest out kind of fake choices. Same with armor and armor bonuses.
ME2 did simplify the game way too much. I like what they're doing in ME3 so far, though.
That comment of mine was specifically about Arrival. I didn't have any issues with Insanity in the main game. It also made the Hammerhead missions harder than intended I think. Those turrets could tear you up in a couple seconds.Quote:

So was mine.Quote:
