>What if we removed everything that made the original great and adopted shitty cover shooter mechanics?
Seriously what were the devs thinking?

2 is universally considered the best in the series. It cut the fat. The gameplay is MILES ahead of 1, it's not even close. Deeper RPG mechanics do not save that shit. You play 1 for the story, you play 2 because it's a good fucking video game.

1 is considered the best. 2 lost a lot of soul and only the shooting feels marginally better.

i dont understand, the original already had shitty cover shooting mechanics, 2 just made them less shitty

Terrible bait. No one considers the game better then the first which is agreed upon by veterans to be the peak of the series. Also you can't consider a literal filler game the best anon.

> It cut the fat
It cut literally everything. Exploration, RPG mechanics, player choice, etc

>The gameplay is MILES ahead of 1
No. They nerfed powers into being useless and made soldier the only viable class for the CoD audience they were trying to pander to.

>you play 2 because it's a good fucking video game
Lol. LMAO even. It's not even a good cover based shooter since there's only like three weapons for each weapon class and the controls are clunky as shit.

I mean are we trying to pretend the guns and armour in 1 weren't just basically "equip the ones with higher numbers" not exactly the most deep rpg mechanics. Also a lot of the side missions took place on boring and empty planets with copypasted buildings.

>>730944246
3 gets all of the shit for ruining the series but really all the problems of 3 were there already in 2, there was no way the trilogy finale was going to be satisfying after the precedent 2 set.
>>
Is it me or is the sniper rifle in 1 really OP? Like it's so easy to just camp in a corner and shoot everyone at a distance, even on Insanity.

I liked it. Even if the main questline was weak by comparison, and Harbinger was a dud, I'm glad there was at least one Mass Effect game that focused more on fleshing out and exploring the setting through the micro stories of your squadmates.
>>
>>730944246
Fortunately I got filtered by the first game on 3 separate occasions so I never had to be op

>>730944246
1 was very tedious, the planet exploration suck because every planets you land on that aren't story planets are just pile of dirt with some cash and exp on it to loot. Plus the car is a bad mean of exploration.
>>
2 would be the GOAT if the combat was reworked. I'm curious why no one has attempted it.
>>
>>730944978
You had unique upgrades in ME1 that changed how guns fired and dealt damage. Armor could be tweaked to provide different stat bonus and cooldowns which is far more customization then ME2. As for the planet exploration I find it preferable to the shitty scanning minigame and having to constantly buy fuel for the Normandy.

>>730944246
Bioware literally invented the term we want the call of duty audience
>>
was there a modset to make 2 more like 1?
or was it an overhaul of 1's stuff?
>>
>>730944246
What if /v/ did not bitch and complain like try hard contrarians about legitimately great games?
>>
>>730944418
ME2 is only good twice, and that’s assuming you never played 1 and played it without any DLC the first time.
Once you actually stop to think about how fucking stupid most of the characters are, or see how completely neutered the gameplay is compared to its contemporaries, it falls apart. That’s not getting to pants on head retarded mechanics like the guaranteed thermal clip drops at 50% that make side arms and conservation mostly pointless if you aren’t shooting like a blind retard, or the monumentally stupid idea of locking morality choice checks behind potential points earned rather than a flat check, which completely fucks anyone not picking up/down every chance they get.
3 runs rings around the gunplay, and 1 has powers that still feel like powers even if you play insanity.

>I hope daddy EA keeps me around for implementing their changes
There you go

>>730945584
Believe it or not, a lot of shooterfags complained about 1's combat because they all rolled soldier and never bothered with biotics or electronics, then bitched about missing half their shots early game. 2's combat was an attempt to apologize to those people.

Both are fucking great but they are different, you are comparing apples and oranges here.

If you like this IP at all you are severely mentally deficient.
