the combat was fine, and the cutscenes weren't so awful for the time. The worst part of ME1 was the repetitive environments and the boring ass Mako segments, the rest of ti was great.

bait

I would say animations are bad too, pretty much everything else is GOAT

>shitty combat

how can one man be so wrong?

I loved the power gain in ME1, the sequels didn't have any of that

Is this thread being a bait a bait?

>going through the game as a level 60 soldier, just standing in the middle of the room and lazily shooting your gun while rockets bounce off you

the best

The sequels have charge.

It was horrible, one of the worst BioWare games released, wasted potential. Good thing ME2 really stepped up in every department - better story and IMMENSELY better combat (only fags hate reloading).
I just pretend first and third game don't exist.

Why did Mass Effect have such dogshit "aliens"? This series started around the time Halo 3 released back in 2007.

mass effect was always shit

So they can recycle human animations, compatibility with clothes/armor/equipment, and because normies have trouble relating to aliens that look too far-removed from being human

Guide to enjoying ME1:
step 1: play adept
step 2: don't play soldier fucking idiot
step 3: play adept
step 4: enjoy the open environments, retrofuturism aesthetic, likable party members, grounded storyline, a villian you can actually empathize with, and flinging enemies around the map with psychic space magic.
All of which pretty much disappeared after the first game.

>grounded storyline
>villain you can actually empathize with

user I like ME1 the best too, but don't lie

Saren was staring down the barrel of an ancient race of killer machines that had killed mulitple civilizations before his. It's not even farfetched that the only way to survive as a species was to assimilate. Of course we know we have bullshit main character plot armor, but Saren is rightfully afraid of them.

>why was the third game so bad
ftfy

I'm doing renegade soldier with Garrus and Wrex as my team mates and its pretty awesome so far. I don't even know why people complained about the mako's it feels like driving a pimped out moon rover.

Then there's the whole bit about not actually trying to assimilate people, but just killing them and saving himself.

3rd game was bad because BW built the impression that your choices in the first two games would mean something and then, assassinated Shepard's character in the 6 months between 2 and 3. If you played 2 right, everyone was ready and willing to die for you, you're telling me because I didn't send them an email during a galactic war that they suddenly don't want shit to do with me? Fuck off with that

Inventory management was hell too

One step closer to finding the conduit!

>Bad controls
>Way too many items being tossed at you after a certain point
Still a decent game, I hate how they removed the grenade system.
