I -do- prefer ME1 to ME2, by far, and constantly get insulted because of such preference. :D
I liked Garrus, Wrex, Tali and Liara. I also liked Saren and Matriarch Benezia. David Anderson, Udina, and even the council were also all interesting characters. The minor characters in each of the hubs also made sense; like the administrator of that ice cold planet and the undercover cop working as his assistant.Lesifoere said:Funny, I felt the exact opposite. Case in point? Kaiden (ala Carth Mark II). Liara (in the second game she grew up). And everything else, really. Even ME2's opening is far more interesting. That and the Reaper ship when you go to rescue your kidnapped crew has far, far more atmosphere in it than anything in ME1 ever did.
Except ME 2 is shitty even as a corridor shooter. I can't say I have any love for either game, but I think I'm going to re-install ME 1, ignore the shit story and characters, and get rid of ME 2 again. I couldn't get past the tutorial this time, it's so shitty.Lesifoere said:Well, it boils down to this: would you rather play an RPG that's a shitty, shitty RPG and a shitty, shitty game--or would you rather play a corridor shooter that's not shitty?
I know what I'd go for, every time.
Fixed. It boils down to this: would you rather play a Diablo clone or a game with gameplay similar to Diablo but without loot and levelling system? Mass Effect, while different from hack and slashes in many aspects, shares the most important characteristic of the genre - it has monotonous gameplay and forgettable story so the only reason it can be mildly entertaining is that it rewards you with random items and experience for destroying waves of monsters. Mass Effect removes even that so it's obvious it's an inferior game. Well, there's also cheesy, B movie feel to it and romances if that's what you like (I kinda like the former and ignore the latter so it doesn't bother me) but it's present in both games.Lesifoere said:Well, it boils down to this: would you rather play an RPG that's a shitty, shitty RPG and a shitty, shitty game--or would you rather play a corridor shooter that's a shitty, shitty shooter and a shitty, shitty game?

Udina was ok-ish. But Keith David, oh man. Just give him any kind of shit to read and he will turn it into magic. MAGIC, 100% PROOF!SoupNazi said:David Anderson, Udina, and even the council were also all interesting characters.

Your point?dbx said:ME2 had Cerberus
Incorrect. They brought him back to life with cybernetics and magic technology. Still, your point?shepard dying and then cloned
I don't see what that has to do with anything.a giant retarded anime terminator
I think you've misunderstood my point.a pimp [racial slur for black man] keeping his former crew dumb for sex
Teen angst is this crap expression that gets thrown around a lot, just like hipster. There's remarkably little angst on board the new Normandy. Garrus, maybe, would fit the bill but this psychology student considers it a stretch to write his conflicted nature off as mere angst. Jacob had already buried his father when he found him again. There was no "teen angst" there. Only disappointment. None of them fits the "angst" ticket. Not even Kasumi, whose mission I believe a lot of people were quick to dismiss as mere sentimental bullshit when it was really just about holding on to dear memories and finding closure.teen angst in every single characters
Considering that you can't win when you argue against me, no, you shouldn't....do i really have to continue?
Blackadder said:Haven't touched them personally, however;
The people I know who play CRPG's, even the newer types such as Dragon Age 1, prefer Mass Effect 1.
The people I know who don't like CRPG's normally, prefer Mass Effect 2.
There you go.

What exactly were these RPG elements in Mass Effect?
