Five Reasons Mass Effect 3 Will Beat Mass Effect 2

Beyond the all-new co-op, celebrity cameos, and ever shinier visuals, Mass Effect 3 is about to hand Mass Effect 2, masterful though it was, a beating on a galactic scale. Here's why.

It's my opinion that they should be trying to beat Mass Effect 1, since that is the superior game as far as RPG games go. I did like some of the things in ME2, but I'm hoping it brings back some of the elements that made me buy ME1 day one on my Xbox 360 back in 2007.

Megaton5239d ago

Agreed. I've played through them both 7 or 8 times each, but I definitely believe ME1 is the better of the two.

I think the characters were much better in Mass Effect 2. They were much more interesting and fleshed out. I can't wait for the RPG elements to be implemented, but I must say that they were nothing special in 1. 1's inventory management was a mess and the shooting was repetitive. 2's class system obliterated 1's and coupled with the much improved shooting, I can't see what is so much better about 1. Mass Effect 2 is EASILY better in my opinion although I really liked 1.

nostalgia...It's hard to replicate that first run through of a brand new universe a game is set in.

There isn't much to complain about as far as 2 goes imo...it's one of the best games of this generation to this day but everyone is entitled to their own thoughts

49erguy5239d ago (Edited 5239d ago )

OK. I just want to KNOW your opinions. What makes ME1 so much better? To me ME2 is better in every conceivable way. The universe and lore is too good for it just to be nostalgia.

Megaton5239d ago

I played ME2 before I played ME1, so nostalgia has nothing to do with it.

The area where ME1 excels the most is probably its plot. ME2 felt almost like filler after going back and doing ME1. Saren and the Geth were infinitely better enemies than the Collectors. Bunch of indoctrinated bug Protheans vs. a turian Spectre, an asari Matriarch, and their synthetic army.

I also preferred most of the characters in ME1 to those of ME2, despite my N4G icon of Jack. I would have given up half the people on my ME2 ship to get Wrex back, and I stayed 100% loyal to Liara as a love interest.

I was not impressed with the combat of ME2 either. Clunky cover system and ammo clips. I'd much prefer going back to the ME1 system with unlimited ammo and overheating.

Pintheshadows5239d ago

As long as it has the combat theme from project overlord in it somewhere i'll be happy. It was in the leaked beta so fingers crossed. That music is epic.

I can think of 5 more reasons.

overrated but enjoyable.
a compliment often reserved lately.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast545d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine545d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast545d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman545d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast544d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman544d ago

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
