These two phrases are different. Despite the parrot picture, ironically you can't even copy the sentence in the OP that you're shitting the bed about.
Mass effect trilogy
^these niggers said it best, but what ever you do don't buy Andromeda, from the trailers alone i'm getting a heavy DA:I vibe
Not bad
Damn I've already played both. Anything else?
I found something called Advent Rising and it looks kind of nice, has anyone played it?
First one is a solid game that's show a lot of love from the developers because of the really really in depth lore. You can spend hours sitting there listening to blandly written dialogue about minor backstory pieces and shit about the technology in the game. 2 is better overall, but they give weapons magazines in the game, which shits on the previous game's lore, and is generally annoying for actually limiting your weapon usage. However the story actually shows weight to your decisions, especially at the end of the game when character will literally live or die from your word and a bit of luck. However you can avoid most deaths by being a completionist and not making retarded decisions.
The true ire toward the series comes almost entirely from ME3, a game which, when the entire series from the first entry had talked about how every single choice mattered, boiled your decisions down to literally giving you different colored explosions in the final cinematic. I have a friend who played it after they "revamped" the ending to make it less shit, but I'm not sure how good it actually is.
TL;DR: First two games are actually good games with some flaws, third game was so bad it retroactively corrupted the rest.
Despite all the shit ME2 gets for being a downgrade and lorebreaker compared to ME1, I think the whole Suicide Mission thing was great.
It was hype as hell, I was left wanting more like it from futute installments and the fact ME3 was such a steaming piece of shit made me completely lose interest in replaying any of them at all.
It's been 5 years and I'm still fucking mad and sad.
2 and 3 are some of the worst games I've ever played
…and the whole setup was fucked up by a giant space terminator…
HOW THIS WAS GOOD? COME ON user!
shit I was thinking about that just as I posted. eh, that wasn't inherently bad by itself so much as when put into perspectice, yet another lore breaking inconsistent plot point.
tl;dr fuck you
