@Lulu_Lulu: ME1 gameplay was very good to me. And I played it after playing ME2. I only had two issues with it: the wonky cover system and the awful MAKO controls. Otherwise, nothing systemically or technically wrong with it.

I do enjoy the armor, shields and barrier.
It is the level up part of the game play that was a huge let down. ME1 is still the best balance of shooter and RPG out there. The RPG elements in ME1 were not as refined as they could have been but it still gave your enough to make your character's role in the game play. Then ME2 came and you got a railroaded classes in a gears of war clone.
To be fair if a developer is going to clone a game, Gears Of War is not a Bad Choice at all. The 1st Mass Effect on ther hand was the clone of a Generic TPS.
@Lulu_Lulu: the use of powers made it even more enjoyable. Sure you couldn't combo them yet, but they were a part of what made the gameplay unique compared to games like Gears of Bore. Made it feel like its own universe.

It was not just the power that made ME1 different but having a say in the character role in the game play. You can have two engineers that have different skill sets. Without, it just became a Generic TPS like ME2 and ME3.
@Lulu_Lulu: besides that each power was useful in battle? How they added depth to the game without being complex? Or what about their overall impact and non-stat-based increases? Because idk what you want otherwise
Theres no other saying this.... They just sucked, the engineer just has a bunch of grenades plus Hacking and the Biotics where bordeland terrible and lazy, you couldn't push or pull things in the enviroment singularity was super useless. It was actually much more fun playing as the soldier.
At this point it is a rental unless the announce they are going to make the game play more like ME1 with the very few improvements from ME2 and ME3.
Don't know why anyone likes ME 1 more than the others. ME 2 is the best in the series by far. With storytelling and gameplay. Besides the Mako has been confirmed

Game play wise I find ME1 to have the best balance of RPG and shooter. I like how I how I had choices that affect the character's game play through out the game. ME2 had a railroaded classes and other than powers ME3 and ME2 were a very generic TPS. Game play wise I would say the order for best to worse would be ME1, ME3 and worse is ME2. The best stuff from the ME game are only found in the first one. ME2 is the worst story of the three and I hate the characters so much. I find FF13 cast to be better.
agree with @wiouds me1 was the best game in the series. better balance of rpg / action, a far better story, better atmosphere. me2 might have been more polished as a shooter but it felt that it was at the expense of stuff that made me1 great

@Lulu_Lulu: so...because it doesn't do what you want or "expect" it to do, it sucks? Talk about being entitled. Why not just take a game how it is instead of forcing it into what you want? You didn't make it and thus can't change it so...deal with it.
Because its extremely redundant and ineffecient and lazy. If you wana see an example of how powers are suppose to be used then look no further than Bioshock 2.
Most of the Powers are only Statistically Assymetrical, its just numbers game of optimizing combat by using Warp on Barriers and Organics and Overload on Synthetics on Shields. That plus the 50 differrent types of sperm.
@Lulu_Lulu: all I hear is you being upset that it's not the game you wanted it to be. And as for BioShock 2, the powers were really inefficient when I played it. Three times. They didn't pack the same punch they did in the first game and even in Infinite (ooh I can taste the salt coming from you already)
I never said it was perfect. All the Bioshock Games suffer from Artificial Difficulty. Mass Effect is no different. As if the gameplay wasn't bad enough already the fact that you can level up so high to the point that you don't need to cover anymore didn't make things anybetter, its the same thing with weapons, eventually you'l find one so powerfull it kills faster than it overheats.
FYI, its true, Mass Effect is not the game I wanted it to be, in the sameway Final Fantasy XIII is not the game I wanted it to be.... Feel free to defend that too.
@Lulu_Lulu: I don't need to defend anything about Final Fantasy 13. As much as I personally enjoyed it, it was the weakest FF game. And you can make the leveling argument all you want.
Any game that has exploitable systems can be abused, regardless of genre. The difference between a good and bad game is whether or not it's still fun to play, exploits or otherwise. And since everyone has their own unique experience with a game, it becomes a moot point after a while. Just allow people to enjoy things without having to question their opinion. Saves a lot of needless debate

Its an even better RPG than Mass Effect.
A Bioshock 2 fan? Awesome. I wouldn't say Bioshock 2 is a 'better RPG' than Mass Effect though. Every aspect of the first ME is coated with RPG-ness whereas Bioshock definitely has elements but isn't as deep an RPG.
@mastermetal777: You should just stop listen to him/her. (S)he won't listen to anything good about RPG. Also does not like how stats are very important if not most important part of a character development in a RPG.
@Lulu_Lulu: not including yourself in that bunch. Instead you casually leave yourself out of your own remarks against gamers as if you don't ever apply.
Seriously ? Even till this day you donlt know I am a dude ?
Anyway the stat thing stopped being true when RPGs graduated from Table Top to computers, infact I know a statless Tabletop RPG, so actually the Stat thing was never true to begin with.
