Is the coast clear?

Newsflash, you still sukz0rz. The game is awesome.

Mako makes me want to stab my own hands = driving skills lacking

Seriously, I mastered the mako within minutes and then was trying to make it do backflips.

You got a problem with a green Salarian? The guy is a beast

Dude you have no idea how ridiculous you sound. I havent played that game in over 3 years and even I remember multiple times when I land on a random planet and find a human settlement or research lab and then inside is an outbreak of some virus or some biotic extremists and theres a whole story to explore. Some of those stories carry on from ME1 to ME3, come to think about it, ME2 has a lot of thanks to give for ME1, so many side quests that stem from ME1. Bottom line, its not just go here, kill bad guys and then go here.

The mako is a common complaint is it? Seems to me that there are a lot of people who cannot figure out a simple control scheme, you honestly sound like the people who used to complain on this forum about the controls.

Maybe it was war paint, or maybe he wanted to blend in with the environment as I remember virmire had a lot of trees and plants.

Thats funny, I recall ME2 and ME3 also copy and paste for certain things, for example area layouts, you go into one area and there covering points in different places, then you go to the next area and its the exact same covering points. Theres nothing wrong with this.

None of the stories grab your attention because most of them you already have seen how they finish or heard about them as they carry on to ME2 and ME3.

"why don't they jsut send you strayte to the building to shoot people?"

Yes because sending you straight to the building without any travel time and then have to kill people and then get sent somewhere else is really good. Dude that would make any game boring and stupid.

"But cover shooters are boring (ahnd so is this game's), soh the hoale game iz boring."

You fail so bad at playing this game, I dont care for cover shooters either, I played the game purely for the story and to explore the mass effect world.

Lol your complaining that ME1's powers arent as good as the sequels, hmmmmm.

"Literally, you go to a bilding, guy talks to you and tells you to goh to the other building. What's the point of that? Why not make me go into the buildin I just talked to a guy with? You go to Feros, go thruu a dungeon, come all the way back, and I ask why? What's the point? Why couldn't the dumb plant bee theurr? Why make me back track with more enemies to fight? It's not fun or engaging."

Firstly, thats not all that happens, they do that so that when your traveling, your squad mates will comment about the planet/mission/personal stuff. Fighting back the way you came is a featured in thousands of games, ME2 and ME3 included. Theres nothing bad about that, and im pretty sure theres always a reason why you have to fight the way you came from. Either because your in a building and you got what you came for, but the enemies are alerted to your presence. Or Joker cant pick you up, so you have to backtrack. There are many reasons.

"It's the stupid terrain and the distance and lack of a focus in gameplay. Why is it so hilly? Why is everything so far? Driving has no suspense, no tension, no goal, there aren't any intersting mekanics to be fownd, you just hold forward, go up some stupid cliffs, and get out. WHY? And no, none of the envrionments look good. They're just there."

Why isnt it hilly? Everything is so far because its not an established area. The concept of driving on a moon in a space buggy has gone over your head. If you couldnt find the fun in driving around, then you are a lost cause to try and explain to you the perks of it. The environments did look good and also th sky was awesome cause in some planets you could see another near by planet that covers the entire sky, etc.

I wasnt talking about driving in ROTF, I was talking about the controls in general.

Literally, you go to a bilding, guy talks to you and tells you to goh to the other building. What's the point of that? Why not make me go into the buildin I just talked to a guy with? You go to Feros, go thruu a dungeon, come all the way back, and I ask why? What's the point? Why couldn't the dumb plant bee theurr? Why make me back track with more enemies to fight? It's not fun or engaging.

It didnt cut out my message, but it added something at the bottom that was already written half way through the post.

"Well no, da storees are kinda generic liek "oh dese biotics are being discriminated against now they're nuts and evil""

Yes its very generic, because we have biotics in real life and they are discriminated against. I thought you would have learnt from playing ME2 and ME3 that the mass effect series uses themes and conflicts from real life and incorporate them into the mass effect world. Its the whole process of making it easier for the player to connect with the world.

"How would getting rite into the action make a game boring and stupid? Have you never played Devil May Cry? Vanquish? Super Mario? Most games send you straight into the action."

Notice that those games you listed are liked mainly for their gameplay and not the story/dialogue like mass effect is. I am very surprised if you think mass effect is predominantly a shooter. The main draw for that game is the story.

"Some places like Feros I ask what was the point but whatever."

you would have to refresh me on what happens on Feros.

"I didn't like backtracking in ME2 or 3 either. ME3 had SO MANY "hold the line" missions were you sat down and just fought wave after wave of foes."

Im pretty sure all the mass effect games have hold the line missions, and they are fun, especially with the action music.

"A good gaem shuld be abul to standalone and be compared evenly with its sequuls"

Untrue, the 1st game usually has a lower budget than wanted and the gameplay mechanics are new and usually have flaws. The 2nd games is meant to fix those flaws and have a higher budget to make the game alot better. Also, the more sequels, the more development time the latest sequel has over its predecessors.

"There was one planet with a red sky and a blue moon and that was neat. The rest was meh."

What about the planet where you can see a huge planet in space and its got a huge line of destruction running along the side of it, and if you investigate that planet you find out that some kind of mass effect weapon must have been used to do that much damage to the planet. Theres also planets with meteor showers and shooting stars, lots of different good ones.

You fail to comprehend the concept of a space buggy, it is simple yet so meaningful for a lot of space enthusiasts. Its like hearing for decades about how they drove around on the moon and then you actually get to drive around the moon, nostalgia explosion. I would be lieing if I wasnt looking for the landing site.

I dont know how to buy DLC on a computer, my brother did it.

"Yuu lerned peepuls families wer at steak, dat sum peeps wer uhnjustly being enslaved, dat soam peeple were atoning fowr past sins."

Pretty sure this featured in ME1, maybe not the person atoning for their sins.

"If da storie iz so guud, make it a book or a movy."

They have made several mass effect books and a movie is in pre-production.

If nothing happened on Feros, why are you bringing it up?

"ME2 had only a couple instances of holding the line"

Lol the mission where you recruit Garrus had 3 of them, 2 of which were defending the same area. ME2 had hundreds of them.

"It's design that matters."

Like I said, the more sequels, the more development time, same applies with design.

"Space buggies must contrl better than the MAKO."

dude the space buggy is god awful, the surface had to be flat for it to drive around, the MAKO is leagues better. And the MAKO controls fine, the fact that it can drive out of craters that are to steep for people to climb out is proof of that.
