So can we agree that Mass Effect 2 was the best in the series?

Yeah it would have been great in 3 if you could order say the Krogans to take the vanguard and the turians to provide air support and what not.I can't give 3 the nod over 2 based on a couple things.
1. The horrible quest log in 3. shyt was the worst quest log/system I've ever seen in a game, and I've been playing games for around 30 years.
Walk by an NPC who randomly comments on something, not even talking to you, BOOM new quest. The fukk?
2. The "suicide mission" in 2 shyts on most of "ME3" by itself. 3 was dope (until the ending) but had nothing like that last mission in 2. shyt wasfrom the moment you went through the Omega Relay up to the end. Space fight with the Collectors....picking your team on some "Oceans 11" shyt....the speech after Shep saves (?) the ship's crew. The final shot of the coffins/crew dead (or not) and the survivors, then the pull back to reveal Reapers headed to our galaxy.
C'mon son. 2 shyts on 3.

But still to me bringing down a reaper for the first time on Rannoch, I was like "Damn I AM the man" I felt like Wyatt Earp when he was like "And Hell's coming with me!"
Yeah the questing was mad awkward in part 3 but when I tried to play part 2 after beating 3 (I wanted my perfect run
) the lack of tactical role breh! 
it's a killer! and off the strength of the multi! I know you played more than me, and I put in more than 200 hours into that bad boy!Edit: http://social.bioware.com/n7hq/?name=Maalik-Ashtaar&platform=ps3 223 hours breh!

That was planned in 3. The war was supposed to be like a big ass suicide mission. You pick what armies attack, defend, where they do it, etc.
It was never made clear if they ran out of time, money or what, but large sections of the game were changed or erased towards the end.
Matter of fact, the entire plot was changed. The 3rd game was supposed to focus on the dark energy subplot in "ME2"....remember that world with the sun that hurt you? And you had to hide in the shadows? 3 was supposed to explain why that star was dying....why all stars were dying.
Instead the lead writer went to work on that "Star Wars" MMORPG.
470 hours on multi-player breh.
Usually late at night, a match or two before bed. Only takes like 30 min or so.

I still think mass effect 1 was the best game out of the series not only for the story, but how they immersed you in that world. I probably played that game over 20 times and can always find one little detail/side mission that i missed out.
- that codex was a thing of beauty
- The first time u got to the citadel and exploring that mug was (one of the things that disappointed me the most in 2 and 3 was how the citadel took a back seat)
- That virmire speech was
Virmire itself was probably the pinnacle of the series till the last mission on 2.
THe first time i played ME2 i thought it was kinda trash. But the more i played it I appreciated it more in terms of those big decisions, and what it took to be fully prepared for that last mission. And than that DLC dropped which was one of my favorite missions ever
Me3 could've been the goat, but outside of that ending and the "indoctrination theory"
it had some flaws. All those decisions in ME1 and 2 didnt add up to shyt.
- i destroyed the rachni yet the reaper were able to find another cloned egg
- that last mission was some of the laziest game design ever. In me1 and Me2 those last missions were some of the best ive ever played. In me3 i gotta sit there and defend wave after wave of reapers. (thats something u'd see as a bonus not for no damn'd last mission. Not only does the ending keep me from wanting to replay this game but that last standoff was so frustrating and monotonous that i have no desire to play it again.
- and than that whole war assests thing and the fact u have to play multiplayer in order to get the perfect setting was bullshyt. And at the end of the day it doesnt make a difference at all.

I thought ME3 was pretty fantastic. I also loved the multiplayer.
I liked the exploration in the first one, especially how you could roll up in the Mako, park it on a hill hop out and snipe people from damn near the other side of the map.
As the series moved on, they got more and more linear and felt less and less like RPGs which is what the first was. The 3rd just felt like what Gears of War would be if they added some dialogue choices in here and there.

ME1 had the best story and was more entertaining to play but it was one of the most frustrating & glitchy games I've ever played. The Mako was awesome but it was 50/50 chance you'd drive it off a cliff 5 times a level.
ME2 had alright stories and missions but it was dumbed down. It was more polished and played 1000x smoother than the first one.
I still lean towards ME1 just because it was so epic at the time.

Its sad cuz if ME3 didnt have that epic fail of a ending, I bet many people would rank it above 2. There were so many moments in that game, it makes me 
how they all fukked it up in the last 3 mins of the series

is mass effect 3 worth playing? i rented it for the ps3, but didn't feel as connected to the series since my previous 2 saves were on xbox 360. i popped it in, wasn't really impressed with the graphics and shut it off after 10 minutes. reading nothing but negative reviews also gave me the impression it's garbage.
I'm playin' through ME3 (PC), right now and lovin' it.
I beat it on 360 (without
my import character from the first two) and didn't get the hate for the ending. But, (as time moved on) I understand ppl feelin' the endings were messed up, now.
Maybe it's about the financial aspect of the industry, but, this is what the pirating sector gets; companies cuttin' corners.
I actually think they get better, as the series goes on.
The mechanics definitely are better. I agree with the whole multiplayer-to-get-a-perfect-ending is wack, though.
But, it's hard to hate on 3. I just started the From Ashes DLC and can't wait to tire Leviathan and the Citadel. Speakin' of; maybe it's been too long, but, I don't remember the Citadel being all that, in 1.

That thing damn near made me hate the entire fukking game breh. Hammerhead>>>>>>>>>>
Mako
the game is epic, there is something off about the graphics on the first stage; for some reason, it looks unfinished but after that they are great
most people hate the ending and trash the entire game because of it which is pretty dumb considering the missions you play to get there are some of the best in the series
