Lol this whole post confused me due to that typo. 

Lol man, that you thought you said anything smart here is hilarious.  Your argument is all over the place and you seem like a very unhappy person.  Maybe a different community would be a better place for you.  8chan maybe?

Well, I think it’s sort of a catch-22 as far exposition. Always a fan of show over tell, but it’s a bit hard to insert yourself into a galactic society without some cursory understanding of the politics and history. ME1 is definitely a slow burn, and I will agree it’s exposition heavy if you do the codex entries and…

What exactly would make it feel more englandy to you? Spot o tea and some red coats dashing about?

Old england is pretty well portrayed here.  It’s rolling hills and countryside, fertile rivers and a scattering of fairly small mountains.  

“The ubiquity of an opinion is not an argument for it’s merit.”

Take your monocle out, Mr. Philospher. Pointing that out is also not an argument either, it’s just being pedantic. Second, consensus & popularity can be (but not always are) a reflection of merit for subjective opinions. Are you also going to tell me…

Yeah, the ME1 controls are shitty. There are a ton of great mods that fix the control issues for the current game on PC. Also some dev company got in trouble for talking about the contracting work they’re doing for the remaster (whoops) and they specifically mentioned fixing some of the control issues so that will…

I believe I’ve heard they delayed to polish up some things in ME1. The rest should only be bug fixes and visuals on ME2&3. But the modding community for this game is fantastic, and if you want things fixed up that’s the route to go. Everything from completely overhauling combat systems, additional powers, bringing…

The secretary romance is pretty underwhelming, watch a YT vid and romance a main companion instead. She was given like two scenes and each are only like 3 lines.

Yeah - the DLC makes the game in ME3.  Can’t believe people have never had their shore leave party!  Or met the leviathan which is one of the most hair…

Yeah Andromeda is worth a play if you’re a mass effect fan for sure. The story isn’t as compelling, but they also weren’t given the benefit of DLC to shore it up like the main series. I would say go into knowing there are some beautiful worlds and some good stories, but it’s sort of like a diet soda. It’s a good…

Oh man, the DLC is stellar. I’ve spent way too much in my lifetime buying it on multiple platforms... I would say it’s worth playing before hand with all the mods you can load up there, and you can play it in under 40 hours with the time saver mods that skip mining and mini games.. Highly recommend because its…

I.... actually don’t hate this. I think for the player, it works better for the motivation to see the reapers earlier because it’s hard for us to agitate for something we don’t fully believe in. But for plot reasons, it is hilariously stupid that the council doesn’t believe in the reaper threat, and that’s why it…

Oh man, you’ve gotta try Vanguard.  Charge is a fucking blast and having played through on every class type - it’s the best one by FAR.  Just so satisfying in your hands and you can fly around the battlefield in seconds.

I’m a big sci-fi guy and I don’t feel like it’s overly tropey. They do references but they’re supposed to be funny not the substance of the plot.

If you revisit before the remaster, I highly recommend checking out the nexus modding community.  Lots of cool stuff you can change to remove filler like minigames and…

All of mass effect is a character-driven story, hard disagree on that one.  Especially ME2, where helping and learning about your squadmates is like 60% of the mainplot.  I’m not hear for the plot, I’m here for the fantastic characters.  I can’t think of another game that had shore leave DLC where it’s basically just…

I love ME2 and agree they overstreamlined a bit...

But the DLC fix is super easy and incase you/ anyone else is still having that problem check this out. Required for most mods anyway so those us that love to mod know it well.  It’s and a simple drag and drop.

Well, it’s fine to be wrong. It’s one of the best written games ever and there’s so much more to player impact on the game that some people have fundamentally different experiences when comparing stories. But I suppose that’s why you’re a random guy being cranky on the internet reading the opinions of game critics who…

Yeah, I believe now that game is patched to not force multiplayer with the servers off. Some of the best mods (most notably the Expanded Galaxy Mod) address the shortcomings of the war asset system and allow you to implement easy or hard (need like 100% completion to win) modes for it and make it clearer what you…

I like reading the planet flavor text, but the probing mechanic is dumb and I always mod it out of existence. Shaves 10-15 hours of time of a replay.

ME3 is a completely different game with the expanded galaxy mod restoring all kinds of cut content, utilizing multiplayer maps, adding in old weapons and squadmates, letting you customize your playstyle with implants (check it out). Turns it from meh to awesome real quick. https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffect3/mods/350

How much of the game have you actually played? Because there’s still a pretty substantial amount of RPG mechanics in ME2, especially around how you build and develop your class and weapons choices.

“Because the first one, while having a whole list of problems, was still a good RPG at heart. The second game stripped…
