Yorak Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Guys, I want your opinion. I have never played the first game, and after hearing many of the complains about it I was glad I did not. But now the second one is out getting amazing reviews, and I am wondering if I should play the first one just to understand the storyline. It would actually be easier if somebody could explain the story to me. I read the Wiki but it gives out a new name every 4 words it seems, lol. Just a bit hard to follow. What do you think?

In my opinion, ME is very story-driven and you'd lose a lot of the experience of ME2 without playing ME1 - I'd hate playing ME2 knowing that decisions were made for me by the default settings. I'd get more joy out of knowing what I did in ME1 has a direct influence on ME2 - even the start of the game is different if you make certain choices. ME2 isn't an amazing game if you take away it's story, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajputwarrior Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 you should play the first one before playing this one, apparently you don't have too but you'll miss out on a lot if you don't. Can't wait for this game!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first game is certainly not without flaws, but its still a great game to play through. I don't think you'd regret it. For all its flaws I've played through the first one many times.

Spookie Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 ^ I don't doubt that but the user stated that he completed all the side quests too in 23 hours. I have to call him out on that one and say that must be absolutely wrong. 2 quests left on my map. What more do you want me to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qdave Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Mass Effect 3 is supposed to come out next year. This probably is going to be the best trilogy ever to grace modern gaming. http://pc.ign.com/objects/142/14235016.html I doubt that they'll make another game in a year.

Xerxes Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) Guys, I want your opinion. I have never played the first game, and after hearing many of the complains about it I was glad I did not.

It would actually be easier if somebody could explain the story to me. I read the Wiki but it gives out a new name every 4 words it seems, lol. Just a bit hard to follow. What do you think? Your missing out mate, yes ME1 isn't without it's flaws but over all it's a great game (Y) Don't listen to all the people bitching and moaning about it's faults (people are always moaning about something, it's becoming an international pass time!), you can get ME1 cheap now anyway so do yourself a favor and grab a copy of it :) EDIT: ME2 isn't officially out (not that I'm aware of?) those people who have been playing it either downloaded a leaked copy or got it from a store that released it a touch early :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tharp Daddy Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Got my email from EA store saying they shipped my copy of the Collector's Edition via 2nd day mail. Can't wait!. I am also quite surprised by EA using second day mail (it was free shipping) and shipping it out before the release date, i have heard some horror stories of them not shipping it till days after it released and what not.

I am also quite surprised by EA using second day mail (it was free shipping) and shipping it out before the release date, i have heard some horror stories of them not shipping it till days after it released and what not. Same here - I was hoping they'd ship for arrival on release date, but never having pre-ordered a game before in my life, I wasn't sure what to expect. Surprised hell out of me too when I looked up the tracking info and found that it was shipping 2nd day air. Now I've just got to complete my ME1 transfer character.... Edit: Nice vid Massiveterra, quite entertaining. :) Edited January 25, 2010 by metal_dragen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
