Why what sad thing happens in ME1? the only think I got annoyed about was the BdtS ending. I think that's the only place in the whole game with a hard decision
>>

How could you cry about anything?
Mass Effect 1 story was such a mediocre slog. Negative emotional impact.

It was ok. I can see how someone would find it mind-blowing back when it was released, but in hindsight it was a vanguard for bad dialogue choice mechanics and shitty romance in RPGs. Also most of the aliens don't look that cool and the Asari are a race of writer's pets. I was glad to let the council ship get blown up

You say all that dumb shit and then you finish it off with something based like "I let the council ship blow up"

Asari is peak design. WTF kind of faggot hates a race of sexy hot babes that want to fuck you? You are trans, 100%. Only a trans would see gold and mistake it for shit in their warped diseased minds.

The Batarians are trying to destroy an entire colony and kill hundreds of thousands of people. You can't let them get away. Even on a Paragon playthrough that's one of the most logical Renegade decisions in the game.
>>
>>728966114
I played ME1 multiple times and my nedt playthrough im going to use a save editor to mark all mako shit as complete. Useless chore shit and ME2 is better.
>>
>>728966481

Trannies love Asari because they're perverts and they imagine they all have giant futa cocks.
>>
>>728966493
Even on my Paragon playthroughs, I still always go about 10% Renegade because some scum simply deserve a bullet to the head. Sometimes they are just too dangerous to let go, it's better to deal with them here and now then to let them regroup and re-terrorize the galaxy.

the mass effect seethe was over 2 and 3, not 1. ME1 was janky enough with enough useless "rpg elements" like +2% force and +3.45% damage to synthetics that retards considered it hardcore

I liked ME2 but it's a shame that ME2 feels like some joss whedon scifi tv show shit where as ME1 feels like your playing those short anthology scifi books from the 40s-70s that were later used to make episodes of the twilight zone
>>
>>728966520
Me2 was filled with the same trash if not worse. most quests that weren't a companion quest were shit. lmao at anyone who did the hammerhead missions or the mech escort bullshit

You should be banned from playing Mass Effect, like it should be a law: "If retarded bald Commander Shepard anon plays another Mass Effect again, he shall be banished to india and forced to live there, forever."

You're not wrong about that. But still, bald Commander Shepard is a capital offense, it should be punishable by banishment to either the shittiest/brownest part of india, or the rapiest/blackest part of nigeria.

Why did Jennifer Hale stop appearing in voice acting roles? I miss her voice (FemShep). I feel like if I play any 2000s era game, I hear her voice and it's very comfy for me.

She didn't. She was just in Ratchet and Clank and Midnight Suns in major roles.

If you play anything other than default maleshep I will think less of your opinions. Custom femshep being the opposite of that just means I ignore you completely. If every poster in ME threads had to attach what their Shepard looks like following this rule would instantly improve all discussions tenfold

MIND OVER MATTER

Apart from the Mako stuff, it was one of the best RPG games of its time.
Choices mattering. Well developed characters.
Good enough combat. Amazing zones to get into.

Fixed and agreed.

>>728972129
She wasn't bad, but holy shit she didn't improve much during the whole trilogy. Meanwhile Mark Meer starts off incredibly wooden then grows into the role that he plays Shep far better than she did by the end.
>>
>>728973356
Mako was fun for the first 3-5 planets.
After that it's close to ubislop of 'go here go there' fetch shit.
>>
>>728973410
I played the prologue of ME1 as maleshep and femshep, and continued as femshep because she was the stronger voice actor.

I have since replayed as default maleshep as well, and yes, he gets good by ME2.
>>
>>728973434
My honest advice for people playing ME1 for the first time is to not do all the side stuff. That's the one blemish ME1 has and it's not because of the Mako, it's because the side missions are the same thing over and over again but with a different planet + new skybox. If you only did like 30-40% of the side missions and then beat the main quest you'll have finished a very satisfying game.

From what I understand though, ME1's development was practically bankrupting Bioware at the time, so they just couldn't flesh out every single aspect of the game to the fullest it could have been (which is what makes ME2 even more tragic since they decided to scale down the scope of their game rather then improve upon it).

The problem is that the asari you chose to represent a race of hot, slender, and graceful women is the only one that's ugly, fat, and autistic.

I don't know what they were thinking with the sidemission exploration on these empty planets. Even with the Mako boost from the remaster, it doesn't really make it any less empty and kind of boring.

On a sidenote, I finally tried the games on Insanity and it's honestly not that hard to my surprise. Maybe it's because I finally tried it on PC instead console, but it's kind of easy to kill everything with the sniper rifle. I was surprised when I was able to beat the Matriach Benezia boss fight on my first try.

>>728978885
And acting.
>>
>>728977872
Worse, it's not even an analysis. I watched some of those vids once because I wanted to know what others thought of a game story, what they liked and didn't like. Instead it was just people reading the script/wikipedia word for word, describing only the superficial aspects.

This type of shit pisses me off. It's such lazy content. I was watching some guy talk about Guild Wars 1 and it started as a mildly interesting history lesson, then he starts explaining the story like a shitty version of a Let's Play, badly summarizing every quest event in sequence.

I blame the voice direction he was given in ME1, not the man himself. Mark is great at acting.

Why would it suck? You get to enjoy more things. Ignorance is bliss.
Having high standards means you don't enjoy any video games anymore because they're all objectively shit.

1 is very easy and fun on insanity
2 and 3 are completely broken on though and the only way you can play is camping behind cover, it's absolutely dreadful because every enemy can delete your shield instantly while being a bullet sponge
