The Mass Effect series has the best story/lore in any game I've ever played

[42 Monks]

Me1 is probably one of my favorite games ever. Ive probably replayed it about 15 times.
I always thought the gameplay was a little clunky in the beginning. But halfway through, (i dont know if the game design gets better, or the increased skills help) it gets a lot better game play wise. I thought every character were intersting, and taking the time to walk around the ship and talking to your crew and learning more tidbits was
a slept on part of 1, was changing the makeup of your crew when u went on miissions, and how the characters would talk to eachother on the elevators and stuff.
I know the mako got a lot of hate, I thought it was a cool change of pace. And i liked how in some missions u would have to get out to do certain things, than jump right back in. None of the other vehicles imo were as cool as the mako

Also thought 1 did the best in making the citadel feel massive. The 2nd and 3rd one were kinda limited in terms of the scope

1 had the best battle with saren. The funniest moment was when you spit game was strong as hell, and u convinced him to commit that
than he came back wearing that reaper 45

I thought I had unlocked some kind of special secret ending when I made Saren commit that this dude hopped back up and laid out Liara damn near instantly

That whole first playthrough I thought I was slick by not having a soldier to tank damage when needed. Garrus held it down

Okay, im playing 2

For all my nerds; if you read the planet profiles

You notice a lot of planets have extinction lvl damage they say couldn't have be natural

Reapers?

Again i agree wit the op

I'm saying

Shepard and Wrex meeting again in 3 was powerful

"You shut your fukking mouth when Shepard da gawd is talking"

"but but but centuries old tradition "

"can suck these nuts, shepard is my brother "

What's funny is so many people let Wrex die, then in 3 he's literally the only character that reacts like he thought you really died. Everyone else is like "oh, it's Shepard". Wrex jumps out of his seat, pushes people out of the way, and is genuinely happy and relived to see you.

ME - GOAT , I got wrex killed ...

ME 2 - great cast , hated the fact that u NEEDED ammo ...

ME 3 - the ending ...

Might gotta neg you for letting Wrex catch that L.


Always felt they tried to make Garrus Shepard's right hand man type shyt on the sly, but Wrex was steady bout that action whole time through. Dude was so thorough.

Only wack part of ME2 was Jacob. This affirmative action included, cliche, personality-devoid, military drone ​

 

[dabestkeptsecret]

First time i played me2. I fukked up that mission so bad
I didnt bother upgrading the ship's armor or guns, ended up losing half my crew getting to the collector base
I only made connections with some of my crew memebers so a bunch of them got gunned up and clapped quick
When we saved the crew members and they asked for help getting back to the ship. I said they were on their own
I think i made it back with shepard and like 2 other crew memebers. All those coffins were tough to look at

Wrex and Garrus were my dudes

Mass Effect 1 is legit the greatest game of all time to me

First game to tug at my heartstrings, had me feeling emotions and shyt

I hate that the series after 1 went shooter instead of RPG

 

[Cat piss martini]

Come on wit it!!

 

[hex]

How new is the most recent ME?

3 is the latest one and it came out in 2012. The next one "Mass Effect: Andromeda" comes out next year.

Think about everything that goes on in this game. All of the different races and their history. Its mind blowing how Bioware has literally created an entire fictional universe with history that rivals Earths actual history.

The Asari being the 1st to find the citadel and prothean/reaper technology.




The Salarians traveling to Earth when humans were still evolving which is where the humans got the entire big eyed alien myths from and cave paintings of ufos and aliens.

The human-turian war.

Krogan genocide

Quarian-geth war

The entire Reaper backstory and history

the hanar-prothean religious relationship

The Batarians being a kind of black people representation with their home planet being destroyed and them being forced to live on planets that are not their own. Plus them hating the superior races.

Think about all of the races in this game, including the extinct ones and think about the detailed stories of their rise and fall and everything in between. Its amazing.

Think about all of the planets in each system and the story that is connected to each one.


Too much to name

I've sat through each cutscene and have read every information log in the menu on every subject and am just blown away by the detail put into this series.

I never though I'd find a game with a lore better than Halos but ME is one of a kind. It needs to be a movie series but I know it'd be terrible as all video game to movie films are.


I can't wait till 2017 brehs. Bioware needs to feed the streets with a trilogy remake

Like black people because they hate superior races?

I see u bytch
