why people hate Mass Effect trilogy?

Because people don't go to the in and outs like you do. People can finish the trilogy and still not like it you know, doesn't make them stupid, it just makes them different.

I'd like to think I am one of the people that can actually straddle the middle line of loving it and hating it. It's neither the best thing ever nor the worst. I can look upon it with my own opinions and form my own conclusions on it. 

FIrst game was fantastic, 2nd was good but not great, 3rd was about the same, some good aspects but not as great as the first game/

ME felt like an rpg to me, 2 and 3 feel alot more like a shooter. Still fun games but I would have prefered 2 and 3 to be more in the vien of ME1.

I would LOVE for a ME1 remake in the ME3 engine. The combat was smoother and less bugs in 2 and 3, but it also didnt have as much roleplaying and rpg elements. ME1 to me felt like a great  movie, while 2 and 3 felt more liek Micheal Bay took control of the series if this was a movie series (after say Guilmero Del Toro or Scorcese making the first ME)

I just thing people have overhyped the series beyond belief

They dislike the last 10 minutes.

Because they know it's a crap series.

Popularity breeds contempt, and gamers breed contempt faster than Plutonian penguins.

Basically the same reason everyone tear apart Skyrim: overanalyzation and the inability to expand their interests.

Because it bored me to death.

Whenever someone hates a popular series, people assume that they just hate it for the sake of hating it, has anyone ever considered that they have their reasons for hating a particular game series.

Mass Effect 1 and 2 (never played 3) are some of the most boring games I have ever played, anything that even releates to gameplay is extremely bare bones, game developers should really learn that stories in games don't make everything and that gameplay should get first priority.

Its a brilliant trilogy. People are just stupidRR360DD

I dislike them mostly because of the gameplay/level design. The levels are reptetive, with unnatural layouts and lack finesse. Since there is no interesting way to traverse them, and no puzzles it's basically walk, walk, shoot, shoot. That would have been ok if the combat was engaging, which it is not. There is a lot of customization, but there is little need for strategic thinking. Cheap tactis will get you anywhere you want. Then we have the side content with quests like scan planet A to find a statue :|. That's about as fun as clicking an icon on your desktop. Finally I really don't like the morality system. It encourages you to make your choices based on some silly score instead of choosing what you think is right (like the Witcher 2 does for example). Very poor design.

Mass Effect fails for the same reason as Assassin's Creed for me. They both have a large scoop, but since the core mechanics are so flat the overall experience is simply not fun.

[QUOTE="finalstar2007"]

I finally got to play Playing Mass Effect 1 is like playing a PS1 game, lol which gives to show to much better ME2 and ME3 are.

Lucianu

Play the PC version next time.  

Appreciate the suggestion but i dont game on PC.... my PC is for everything except gaming.

I dunno. People took the series way too seriously. I mean the ending was pretty bad, but the rest of the game was great.

[QUOTE="Lulekani"]Sounds like you hate ME2 out of spite.Zeviander

Mass Effect is OK but massively overhyped (or at least it WAS before the ending). Pretty much everything BioWare put out this gen is terrible though. I don't think most people actually hate Mass Effect, just more of them are beginning to realize that BioWare is garbage.Fossil-

Subjectivity is the ultimate shield in defense of saying really silly things. 

I respect people's opinion's but Bioware are far from garbage. It's like saying Scorsese is garbage because you didn't happen to like Casino.

I have next to no problems...with the first one.

lol.

Down here in SW you're poster, not a journalist or video game expert. Besides you clearly can't seperate what liker or not from whats good or not. ME2 was a definate improvement of ME1. You welcome to dislike it but only a coward would slander a game to justify their feelins towards. Lulekani

I took a gamble on the PS3 version, I knew they weren't going to be good but I thought it would be something to play through.  I couldn't get through 10 minutes of the first to realize how horrible these games were going to be. 

Luckily, I can make back 75% of my money selling it on ebay, at least.  If you want a good WRPG, play the Witcher series.

I dont hate the trilogy. I just dont think they're anthing special in the context of a Roleplaying game.

 I find them to be fun interactive 80's B movie sci fi films and in that regard,ME1 did the best job at capturing the feel and atmosphere of those types of movies.

Alot of the Bashing on this forum is actually just people having a laugh by baiting Texasgoldrush and his boyfriend Dreman999 into nerdrage diatribes about how "we just dont get it"

Have you played any pre-ME BioWare games? khoofia_pika

Like the trilogy, hate the ending.

But yeah, speaking as someone who was previously huge into the games, Bioware used to have a really obnoxious fanbase. I'm talking "Don't speak bad about the Biogods, go back and play your FPSs" level obnoxious. It's almost some divine karma that the Dragon Age 2, The Old Republic, and Mass Effect 3 all came out like a hat trick and shut them up.

Ending left everyone bitter.

It not being an RPG somehow matters.

I think the series is pretty good. Not my favourite though

I love the ME trilogy its the ending that killed it for it.

Love the whole trilogy but I dislike the ending. Simple as that. 

The ending wasn't even that bad, I don't get why everyone thinks the series is terrible, because of the ten minutes at the end. Bioware decided to not go with the conventional Hollywood ending, and whats wrong with that? TWD had a sad, no hope ending and no one complains about that.Granny_Spanked

The series is full of extremely stupid/implausible things.

People hate popular things, my only grip about the series is how ME3 ended, other than that ME is one of the best Sci-Fi video game series.

I love the Mass Effect trilogy. I love the universe it's set in and I love the choices you make. I still haven't beaten ME3 but I know how it ends and it did upset me how Bioware decided to end such an epic saga but it doesn't make me dislike the series at all.

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"][QUOTE="Zeviander"] I don't even bother reading your posts anymore. It's like you think people aren't entitled to an opinion regarding these games.seanmcloughlin

It was worse. Our choices were supposed to matter and it boiled down to being a number. no epic cutscenes, just a number. a number LARGELY influenced by the shoehorned in multiplayer. the ending was right the **** out of nowhere and despite bioware saying that we WOULD NOT have an "A, B, or C ending" that is EXACTLY what we got. all choices basically amounted to the same thing. Doesn't matter how many paragon or renegade points, how many war assets, what choices, etc. all sad endings for shepard. What is wrong with at least 1 ending being happy and all the other endings being sad or bittersweet? or an ending that made sense. the starchild was crap and bioware took things in a completely different direction than they meant to at the time of mass effect 2's completion and it shows. also, it seems like EVERY game is having this same type of ending now. it's too generic and lame. it's like once RDR did it everyone wants to follow.
