This.

If I, knowing what I know now, had a choice of playing all of them again, I still would. The ending was disappointing, the first game is still the best IMHO, but the characters themselves are worth it. ME2 and ME3's heavier focus on gunplay doesn't make them bad games, just took more focus away from the game being more of an RPG.

But, they're still good games with an overall story that totals at least 140 hours from ME1 to ME3. Don't let the last 10 minutes of those 140 hours deter you from the rest of it.

ME2 was by far the worst for me.

I tried it out on PS3. The graphics weren't bad, but little worse than ME2. What killed it for me were the load times. Holy hell, I stopped as soon as I got to the Citadel on my first trip knowing how often I'd have to change locations on the Citadel alone just to do all the quests. Went right back to the PC version of the game.

@cgoodno: Loadings weren't as bad as rest of the issues.
Glitches were dealbreakers for me. Shepard did exorcist(360 head spin), rest of the crew seem to catch it up fast and did the same, I had even whole reapers(fun fact: they are pre-rendered often) disappearing from cutscenes leaving parts of scene on white background.

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
