Subject: Is it worth playing mass effect now for the 1st time?

Play the first Mass Effect OP, you'll see me in it!


I played up to that point and then I quit because after I beat you, I was so frustrated. Now I'm getting back into it.

Absolutely. ME1 is outstanding (if you can get over the outdated combat, which honestly isn't all that bad once you get used to it), and ME2 is even better. The third installment... is not quite as grand.

Yes, it's a great series. Don't listen to everyone complaining about the ending it's fixed with the EC.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

I've played 1 and 2. I found 1 a to have good dialogue segments and an interesting story, but the gameplay was unbearable. 2 improves the gameplay so much that you'll be swept right off your feet.

Edit: The only reason why I completed 1 was because a friend bought 2 for my birthday a year later.
