Comment on Mass Effect is one of the greatest games ever and EA makes good games

ME1 was incredible, despite some clunky annoyances and idiosyncrasies around some game mechanics.
2 was a step down.
3 was …yikes. They spent TONS of time hyping how much impact your choices would have on the final outcome of the series, and then… you get to choose the red ending, the green ending, or the blue ending.
And don’t get me started on Andromeda.
Overall, it got a lot more rails-y as the series progressed, because that’s just straight up an easier type of game to make.

Finally someone else who agrees 1 was better than 2. I still enjoyed 2, and I also had fun with 3 even though it was definitely the worst in the trilogy, but everyone seems to hype up 2 these days as the peak and I don’t quite get it. 1 was clearly the best imo.

I think I’d still say 3 is overall better than 1. The gameplay is just so clunky in 1 that even with the mediocre story, the gameplay of 3 puts it ahead.
