This gameplay is so fucking outdated, the combat is just straight up unbearable

The combat is really shitty, but what i hated
most was that you keep amassing these useless fucking items that you then have to sell or reduce to omni-gel one by one.

1 is an RPG made by Bioware
2 and 3 are action shooters made by EA

>should I just endure it for 2
Sure

>and 3
That's overconfident.

The inventory management is inexcusable, you can thank console focused development for that.

Literally Andromeda gameplay.

I prefer being a Biotic myself so everything is stunlocked forever
>floating geth Saren

I wouldn't know, never played anything from Bioware after ME2.

Well, I didn't pay for it.

ME3 gameplay is the most fun out of the entire series IMO
Story is okay if you just don't expect a different ending for every choice you made throughout the games

That goes without saying, who could possibly be dumb enough to buy a Bioware game after DA2?

People said that about ME2 when it came out, I disagreed that that on an extreme level.

>Story is okay if you just don't expect a different ending for every choice you made throughout the games
Too bad these games were marketed as such.

Yeah, I'm not defending shit
Just saying it's okay if you know what it's like
Same as how playing Spore is fine, it's just the hype on release that made it seem like one of the worst games ever

Dumber than me, apparently. And according to Anthem sales, there's at least 3 million of them. I'm so fucking dumb, I find it surprising these people figured out breathing.

i just started new character in every game. didn't bother me

Why is the PC version such ass?
Does not natively support HD, doesn't support borderless windowed and the full screen is for some reason filled with janky fps lag and screen tearing.
I even modded it and the game is nearly unplayable, what a fucking travesty.

>it's just the hype on release that made it seem like one of the worst games ever
Well, Spore sold like shit because it failed to live up to it and the studio closed down. Oh, it was EA owned as well. What a shock. The point is that what Bioware had promised wasn't impossible, but it wasn't probable in an 18 month development timeframe, that ME3 got. As a result, Bioware sells games to the volume of 2010 levels, during an economic depression, when the medium was half the size it is today. Bioware reaps what it sows.

I cannot fathom anyone who bought into the hype after that scripted as fuck E3 demo

10/10 got me mad AND made me reply. Truly a mastertroll. BRAVO!

>Story is okay if you just don't expect a different ending for every choice you made throughout the games
I sincerely disagree. Cerberus being all powerful=gay. The entire ending sequence=legitimately retarded, multiple endings or not.

That is an unreliable metric. Out of the people that didn't turn off telemetry data, 1/3 played with imported saves from ME1. While I can't claim that only people that turned off telemetry data played with imported saves, I'd expect a slightly higher percentage to be the overall picture. So if 40% of your players went through ME3 with an imported save, that's nearly half the fanbase that you pissed off and burned. Which is probably why the new players Andromeda generated weren't enough to compensate for its budget and why EA ultimately chose to ditch the game. And because Andromeda was so poorly received, the next game in the franchise will have to bear the further grunt of the task to compensate for 2 games worth of lost playerbase, if the franchise is to survive. Bioware would be better off ditching ME completely. But EA isn't up to funding Bioware's next Anthem.

But it's a difference of expectation, user. No one who plays the game today would expect every choice to matter because they know how much shit Bioware took for fucking it up. So they import a Shepard for the small interactions that do matter in the other games
Personally I import for the romance and Paragon/Renegade points
As an aside: I think this focus on everything affecting the ending is silly anyway. The same thing happened in Witcher 3, people complaining about seemingly "big" choices not impacting the ending. I think choices are important in the moment you make them. Just by having made a choice you played your character, and the decision doesn't need to affect anything later

i had the fun of my life with this game as a vanguard, being a massive tank with biotics powers and a big shotgun, just what the fuck are you doing brah

absolute state of zoomers

That's not an excuse when you played the game in 2012, when Bioware was considered much more favourably, than they are today.

>Personally I import for the romance
If it mattered.

But choices did affect ME3. In all but the most negative of ways. Any character that could have died got a reduced role in ME3, even LIs and Bioware's way of handling anything that could have had any effect in the game, was dropping it, or substituting it with something else. Bioware only provided us with the downsides of choice and none of the ups. Which, in the end, if that's how you're going to handle it, everyone would rather not be given the choice to begin with.

Not as bad as borderlands.

>That's not an excuse when you played the game in 2012
We were talking about people playing the game now. And I'm not trying to say it's an excuse for Bioware, just a reason for playing the game now
I agree with everything you say, I'm just also saying that the game is worth your time for the gameplay alone, and you shouldn't feel betrayed by the story since you already know what's coming
Pirated obviously

>Does not natively support HD
You think someone would really do that,
just go on the internet and tell lies?

theres nothing wrong with the combat in the original mass effect. man up kid and finish the game.

what difficulty do you play all the games on?
>ME1 and 2: hardcore
>ME3: insanity

If you can’t keep goin through sheer setting curiosity itself you should stop as soon as possible

I bought ME3 on release. I enjoyed MP enough to justify the purchase. Pirated the game anyway for DLCs.
I think that guy is just a retard who doesn't know about aspect ratios. I actually got a bit confused last time when I ran the setup for ME1 and in the list there wasn't 1080p, then I realized there is second box with aspect ratios.
Only Insanity. Unluckily, I started ME1 lately and because of dumb niggers in Bioware walling off Insanity had to play on Hardcore. Wish I had saves from old computer.

Endure it for the second one.

Against beings that each one is a nation that have been living and plotting warfare for over 37 million years we should have had no chance in hell of winning in any fucking case.

ME2 and 3 should have focused on the politics and spectre work, galaxy detective style expanding the plot of the shadow broker and cerberus but without relation to the reapers, we locked them out, they’ll get here from deep space in hundred of thousands of years, but that will leave the galaxy time to evolve and be ready.

The entire series of games utter trash. Develop some taste and play something better, something not made by Bioware (after KotOR)

>you shouldn't feel betrayed by the story since you already know what's coming
Should Bioware feel betrayed that people are memeing on them, at every possible chance, ever since?

You can thank this faggot for that and everything else wrong with ME. Unfortunately certain """""""people"""""""" literally cannot be convinced ME2 isn't a masterpiece.

How expensive is the DLC for ME2/3 on Xbone? It’s crazy that they’ve never made a bundle or goty version. My laptop is too shitty otherwise I’d pirate it.

>2 and 3 just feel like gears of war
Stop playing the Soldier class then. None of the other classes suffer from this.

Did they not release a collection of all 3+DLC? Not sure if you can actually get Shadow Broker DLC on X-anything though.

>giving money to Bioware
no

Mass Effect 1 wrote 3 into a wall.

Not really. Say what you will about Karpyshyn, but he got the lovecraftian shit down pact in 1. Then Mac shows himself as a poser who doesn't really get it with 2 and 3.

Mass Effect 2's characters, level design, and gameplay are all pretty damn good, it's just it's the overall story kinda fucks it up for the entire series

All of those are given a straight upgrade in 3 though, then ME1 BTFO of both of them in the story and world department. ME2 is king of nothing.

ME2 is the better game. The reaper plot can get fucked.

>Not really
Yes, really.

>but he got the lovecraftian shit down pact in 1
It was also unplayable.

>Then Mac shows himself as a poser who doesn't really get it with 2 and 3
Mass Effect 2 had the write idea. Mass Effect 3 takes head on an impossible gameplay scenario that ruins not only the game, but the franchise along with it.

How is 3 an upgrade to the characters when it only introduces one new guy and ruins TIM?
Granted the Citadel DLC is probably the best part of the entire franchise in terms of the characters themselves but that's DLC

This is why you aren't even worth being called a person, user.

>outdated
>unbearable
>can't finish
Imagine being this retarded and weak.

ME2's story idea was a great way to move away from the Reapers. It fucked up nothing. ME3 fucks itself over by trying to tackle something it shouldn't.

>All of those are given a straight upgrade in 3 though
Characters, level design, enemies and combat are a huge downgrade, to ME2's, with the addition of an even worse story.

Not an argument.

I think you can blame Demiurge for doing fuck all about it when they dealt with the PC localization.
Demiurge on their own website about it?
>Demiurge and BioWare have teamed up to bring the award-winning title Mass Effect to the PC, customizing the experience to take full advantage of its newest home on the desktop
Riiiiiight.....

The best game in terms of gameplay was ME3 by an order of magnitude. Can't say that on Yas Forums though because it's uncool to praise an EA game and not be a fake grognard

>Say what you will about Karpyshyn, but he got the lovecraftian shit down pact in 1
The thing about Lovecraftian shit is that when you encounter it, the story ends. You don't triumph over it. The other user is right and ME1 wrote the other games into a hole, it's why ME2 basically ignores muh reapers

>ME1 BTFO of both of them in the story and world department
It doesn't btfo ME2 in either. People thinking ME1 has a good story is one of the biggest jokes of this franchise coming right after the debacles of ME3.

Waiting for argument. I'm sure it will arrive. Any day now.
